Those are awfully thick for "driving shoes" but I bet they look pretty sweet with the cuffs of your jeans rolled up and some ironic-colored socks! Don't forget to pair it with a beer t-shirt and a trucker cap.

That's the perfect hat. Probably need a Honda technician shirt with an ironic name tag ironed on. Something totally goofy and ironic, like "Joe" or something...

Has anyone removed their exhaust resonator before? My ricer senses are tingling for curiosity lolololol
Currently have Magnaflow rear mufflers welded on, and I'm tempted to remove the resonator just to see what it sounds like..

Guys, don't forget that everything you read today is an April Fools joke.

Just curious...is our trunk really "light" to close or is it just my car?
And what I mean by this is that it has absolutely no resistance, unlike most vehicles where you'd actually have to push the trunk down to close (i.e., I could have the trunk about 30% open, let go, and it would shut close).

I want to buy a new clock for my bed side table. I have had the same one since 1993.
Im thinking I want something that tells me the weather/temperature.. idk Im willing to do like $50. Anyone have suggestions?

Still working for Honda, Calc has fucked me up so Idk what Imma do for now
ROTAREDOM
A lot of sleepless nights, and fretting over whether or not I was gunna score high enough on the final to pass. I don't think any other undergrad degree is more difficult to get than engineering, but it also has one of the biggest rewards (salary) for just a bachelors degree, and most of the time you won't have to go back for your graduate... I know that made me feel a lot better when I graduated lol
I'm never going back!! Can't make me hahaha

Calculus is one of those courses that a professor can make or break. Like Thermo and Fluids, a good Prof can make it all make sense and a poor one can fuck up all your plans.
Sometimes you just need to try again with a different professor.
I'd offer to help you, but I've probably forgotten all that information and replaced it in my brain with shitty 80's horror movie quotes.

I use google to convert inches-->mm
lmao... oh boy, if there were a hot tub time machine and I was forced back to my freshman year, I think I would just become a carpenter. I couldn't deal with all those classes again haha

Calc fucks everyone up. If you actually like Calc, I commend you. Worst classes I had ever taken. I ended up taking Calc 1 twice, Calc 2 twice, then barely passed Calc 3.
My advice is to find the one person in the class that is doing well and have them help you out. If it's kicking your ass, you will not get through it alone. I tried...and failed.
Thankfully, never needed any of it again.

What engineering has taught me.. There are equations to solve everything, except in real life those equations are too simplified to actually get a good result for what you are working with, so you use CAE analysis to simulate everything..
I think vibrations was the worst class I took in college. Horrible class, horrible professor, and lectures were at 7:30am on Monday's ;/

When in doubt, Wolfram|Alpha: Computational Knowledge Engine
That shit helped me when the question/solution made zero sense. Otherwise, calc was decent. Like cu2wagon said, thermodynamics was probably the toughest engineering course.
And ssjoeboe is right, 90% of the shit you learn isn't even applicable. It's really just getting you to understand what it is you're trying to accomplish with these equations, but IRL you'd be using simulations/approximations to do most of the work. Gravity is not just 9.81m/s^2, and Pi is definitely not 3 cu2wagon!

Wolfram Alpha would have made my life so easy in school...
One day a light went on and calculus started to make sense. I would almost go so far to say I started to find it fun . But it was only through monotonous derivations and brute force memorization and lookup tables that I was able to get through.
Now... Only the foggiest memories of how it worked.
I took a course recently that relied fairly heavily on integral calculus and the professor kept talking about how we should be able to derive the source equations and such. I was just like, "biiiiiiich, I don't have time for that; lemme pull up Wolfram Alpha!"
I probably wouldn't have learned anything if today's Internet assistance was available when I went through...
Pi is 3
g is 10
Assume the cow is a sphere and there is no drag from wind.
Piece of cake!

lol Thermo was one of the only classes that my friends struggled in, and I did well haha. I think working for a Gas Turbine company helped with that haha
On the FE exam I scored in the 95th percentile on the thermo section haha. The average score in that section was less than 50%
AND... I still didn't pass the FE, I mistakenly didn't study for the mechanical section and realized there were sections (like HVAC, and programming) that I never took courses on, and missed almost all of those questions, and cause me to fail.... ahhhg oh well. At least my wife passed! She will be the PE in our family haha

The FE was moderately amusing. First half was just an epic brain-fuck.
Break for lunch... Everyone just sat in silence with blank looks on their faces like they'd just been through war or something.
Then the second half... Ha! I literally flipped through the book going, "don't know that, don't know that, don't know that..." I think there were maybe 10 questions in the afternoon that I could even comprehend.
Ah, good times.
EDIT: But the saving grace for me was that the Pass/Fail of the test is based on the (or at least it was) people who took the test at the same time. And I had a bunch of really dumb cohorts taking the test...
