Both are expensive

One other thing, if you have to put in 40hrs a week wouldn't you rather choose when you put in the 40hrs? I can't say I ever put anywhere near that into school which of course means that I could have easily done all my homework doing an 8-5 period.

I agree with that. Earlier I said "Most people don't go to school from 8-5 like many jobs, your classes may not start till 9-10 and only last a few hours, or some days you may only have one class or something and get a bunch of free time." and I always had enough time between classes in college or during "seminar" period in high school to get my homework done so I never actually had to do much at home.

as for work I've done, I've worked in a tire shop doing tire changes, oil changes, etc, during high school and summers for the first 2 years of college. Not a lot of brain power required there. The next summer I did landscaping. Same deal. Then I got the job I have now, which has been mostly putting data into an Excel spreadsheet, with a little software work with that data. At this job I've always been able to make my own hours for the most part, aside from days when we have meetings and stuff. I generally try to work between 8 and 5 though just so my boss and I can talk if something comes up that needs changed or whatnot. I just have to wait until at least 7:30am before I get here or before about 5pm if I want to work in the evenings because they lock the doors at night. and since it's all on my computer at work, not really anything I can do at home.

What have been your jobs where you've had to?

I work in sales, more work = more money. However, pretty much all of my salaried friends are in the same boat. I would agree that when you work hourly you don't take anything home work wise, but if you work for a salary it is a different story.

Time to read a thrilling chapter on Sinusoidal Steady-State Analysis, I especially love the plot twist in such literature, the character detail is also astounding....

Fourier work?

The Yeti 7 is a pretty sweet looking bike...

Yep.

Anyone know of a non-intrusive way to measure ambiant air flow through a pipe?

What exactly are you trying to measure? Any way you could just do some calculations and get close or are there to many unknowns?

We have a valve on a bypass pipe that we believe is leaking air by and we need a way to measure and see if any is getting by. I'm hoping to be able to measure it with out probing into the pipe

Really don't know what you meant by restrictions Sean but it is about a 36" pipe and the only thing flowing through it is an ambient air

This has swerved from annoying straight into regoddamndiculous

Wonder if this may work....

[topgun 262]

Crack the pipe just past the valve and see if anything goes past?

[topgun 262]

Throw a smokebomb in the pipe and see if smoke comes out the other end on the wrong side of the valve...

I've been lookign at buying a Pedal bike, I think I'm gonna get an santacruz Nomad. Maybe a Yeti 7.. But I think the nomad will serve me better and hold value longer....

I can't wait for my computer to get here too. Should have all the parts by friday, can't wait.

You live in MN, no need for the Yeti...although I think from a resale perspective you might have that backwards, but definitely not for here.

I know I don't NEED, but want... heh. I'm hoping to get very agressive and do a bit of down hill and go out went some. The guys who are trying to get me back in are all doing Insane drops and such. Yeti does have good resale... I was thinking more the specialized to the santa cruz.

I want a do it all, because I live here, if I was elsewhere probably a much 303DH from yeti or some other free ride rig. Plus I'm a fat guy, I want as much travel as I can get. lol

The Yeti 7 is a pretty sweet looking bike...

Sure as chit is. I'm skeptical of the odd swing arm, but I have heard nothing but great feedback from Yeti's customer support.

Dad bought a 94 YJ Jeep.

Straight 6, manual, 33" tires, decent shape.

[topgun 262]

Might have to drive it back from Des Moines on Monday.

[topgun 262]

If I end up going back up to Pella with my brother and driving the Jeep back I'm just wondering how noise it is going to be at 70mph with big tires and a bikini top...

[Acidburn 10]

Theres some good folk down there, good food too.

Some of the other aspects aren't as nice though.

only thing I'll give 'em is good food

everything else... yikes

I'd be interested in hearing an explanation. I've been to florida once (like 10 years ago to go to disneyland when my little brother and sister were like 7-8). We were just in Orlando, though, and it just seemed real tourist-y. and of course lots of old people in florida. and one of my friends is thinking he wants to move to south carolina. I've always though it would be decent to live in a place like that, next to the ocean, trees (hey I'm from kansas, haha), etc. My aunt lives in Louisiana and we've visited her a couple times. Doesn't seem too bad other than just kinda being....a little more poor I guess. So it "seems" ok to me. But I'd like to hear the negatives so that I have a more realistic view.

From my experience with the South, the big cities in FL are very touristy and have a very superficial culture. Everywhere else in the South, it seems like most people can't even form a coherent thought. Those states are consistently the lowest spots on education rankings (along with AZ, which is one of the main reasons I want to get the fuck out). Looking at what they choose to teach in their school, and specifically what they don't teach, shows just how backwards things are down there.

Yep.

Fourier and Steady-State? sounds like my Sensors and Controls class

sounds like you need a leak tester rather than a flow velocity measurer
