  take me down to the orthographic city, where the near is big and the far is also big

  I'd hate to be a complex piece of lab equipment being retired, hoping for a peaceful retirement surrounded by caring autistic transgender women, and then the crate opens and it's NileRed

  the lab boys are telling me they need even more estrogen to continue testing, they also say they need more lab boys because they keep turning into lab women

  an important part of becoming a good engineer is learning to trick your brain into having the dream you get after you fuck up an entire week of work the night *before* you fuck it up

  kind of a long-shot, but does anyone know of a non transphobic solicitor / notary public in the south of the UK? I want to finally sort my GRC (I’ve had the paperwork ready for ~4 years..), and I’ve been ghosted by all the ones I’ve reached out to so far… :BoostOK:

  the first laser cutter I used ~10 years ago had poorly translated software that would often throw the delightful error “softdog no same!” I still think about softdog

  an engineer friend of mine who designs press-molds for recycled plastic convinced me to visit their workshop yesterday :3 I got to knead the plastic like dough to make the patterns! so much fun 🧡

  being a switch is when you enjoy being both the test subject and the morally dubious scientist, right?

  girl who takes devices apart to see how they work: “oh, I understand how this works now!”

  as a mechanical engineer you should be learning about machining to make machinists happy with your designs, and PCB design to annoy EE's with increasingly cursed mechanical board layouts 🧡

  extremely “tech witch” sounding engineering problem of deciding between a drone motor or a hard drive motor to power a magic wand..

  https://datasheet.lcsc.com/datasheet/pdf/3c19f3e2ecf0645b6cfa5e991c88a054.pdf I think this might be the nicest connector datasheet technical drawing I’ve ever seen? 😭🥺 calling out individual laser weld spots on the body?? pick-and place vacuum location?! example integration!! I am in love

  good: learned a reliable method of bonding steel onto glass less good: said glass happens to belong to my phone screen

  this got reposted on Bluesky, and someone actually messaged them 😭 I’m sorry SHENZHEN XIANGTIANZHONG TECHNOLOGY Co., Ltd. https://chaos.social/@ErinRose/111484249953097071

  black latex gloves may look hot, but their low chemical resistance poses a huge risk when doing actual evil scientific experiments even intimidating and morally questionable women in STEM need adequate PPE!

  Planning my next project is turning out to mostly be deciding whether I prefer bashing my head on the ceiling when in bed, or on the bed frame when using the machinery I want to fit under it... the structural calculations are easy in comparison :(

  huh, looks like it’s not the just hobbyist rocket engineers tearing gopros down to the pcb’s and strapping them onto rockets… (most hobbyists don’t pay defense contractors to do it for them though) (https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20230003915/downloads/Wi-Fi%20on%20Artemis%201%20-%20FINAL.pdf)

  you can tell everyone on the NASA broadcast team is over 30, because clearly none of them can hear the high pitch whine that’s been in the background of every stream recently..

  The benefit of a cloud-based CAD program like Fusion is that the dev who introduced the caching bug that's been gaslighting me for weeks can read the passive aggressive things I've been writing in my private design notes c:

  any engineering problem that isn’t solvable by “hiring a bunch of autistic trans women” isn’t worth solving anyway

  fellow British people: you don't have to pretend to love our plug sockets, you're allowed to dislike every aspect of this cursed island, it's okay 🧡
