I used to draw a lot growing up but haven't at all in recent years. plus everyone's posts these days are some digital art that they've made. I don't think mine would have looked good at all if I drew irl and posted photos of it.

finally getting my very first drawing tablet. this raw and untapped potential for absurd ideas and political cartoons must flow. I need to channel this bottled up creativity or I'm going to fucking snap

My simpleton understanding has been if there's a creek flowing through your property then it's yours but now I'm finding out there's waayyy more to surveying potential homestead property.

What are some things to know about water rights on your property?

this happened years ago, but I still remember anytime it's brought up.

I was watching one of my favorite movies (not naming the title nor hinting around it. last thing I need is some anonymous shit trolling me with it.)

but after the movie ended, I discovered my sweet doggo had died in his sleep on his bed. he was 17 so I knew he didn't have years left. but it breaks me to know that while I was watching the movie, at some unknown point he crossed the rainbow bridge and I wasn't even aware until after the movie had finished. now anytime I've tried to rewatch it, it reminds me of what happened.

I miss him so much

It's something I've always wanted to do. For years. I have lots of experience in different positions for my quality department and I'm considered the "star performer." Everyone knows I've always had my eye on becoming a Quality Engineer but it's just never opened up here in my location. I've considered applying outside with a new location to make it happen.

It's been a dream of mine. Been in my quality team for just under 12 years but I want to move up and there's just no movement available.

What are the skills other places look for when hiring for a Quality Engineer? Things that I could work on and study during my free time. Lean Six for example. Been working on that.

Any suggestions?

edit: I've discovered the American Society for Quality "Certified Quality Engineer" handbook/study guide. Has 714 pages and covers Statistical Process Control, Design of Experiments, Geometric Design & Tolerances, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, Measurement System Analysis, Root Cause Corrective Action, Production Part Approval Process, Reliability, and Quality Systems ISO 9001.

Going to get studying and prepare for that exam. Thank you everyone

Especially in the middle of a production run. Seems like I'm juggling trying to stop the defect that's upstream from me but also trying to block the next department downstream from using the suspect parts. Then establishing a clean point and containing/blocking off the suspect parts for further evaluation and next course of action.

Any tips at all. I'm open to reviewing resources, books, or watching a couple videos at this point.

The same way that Continuous Improvement is established and organized, is there anything like that when it comes to product containment?

Let me start off with a real example. I was documenting gravestones in a small'ish cemetery (about 100 people) and taking a photo of each headstone. posting it to their findagrave memorial, sidestepping to the next one and so on.

Well as it turned out when I went home and started reviewing things, I discovered one of the people buried there had committed mass violence and, BEFORE I EVER KNEW ABOUT IT, I had already added a photo as usual like the others.

I was SICKENED. I didn't want any fucking association with that person, no additions to their memorial but there wasn't a way for me to delete the photo myself. So I contacted Findagrave, explained the situation, and they quickly resolved it by removing the headstone photo I had posted.

So Findagrave staff who took care of that for me, Thank You. Afterwards I took a screenshot of the news article showing what had happened, and what they had done, and then added it to their memorial so that others could read it and beware. No other photos or anything have been added to it since.

That was one isolated "oh shit" case and I'm glad the Findagrave staff were able to quickly resolve it.

But seeing how some dude just murdered like... I think it was 8 family members in Montana, unless Findagrave implements some sort of new policy that blocks him and these other sick fucks from being added to the site, it's only a matter of time until it's forgotten and somebody unknowingly contributes to their memorial.

and yes I am aware that there are a lot of people buried with secrets in the past. maybe they robbed a bank or shot someone during an argument. both are bad but nowhere near the mark of mass violence.

I hope I'm making sense here. Findagrave staff, I hope you can read this and agree there needs to be some sort of policy in place to keep those sick shits completely off of Findagrave.

I'm curious as to what others here think about this

I've been watching tutorials and preparing myself. Will be my first time working on drum brakes but I'm confident enough that I can do it right. I'm mechanically inclined and have already replaced my engine cover gasket, front rotors and pads, along with rear struts and axel bushings.

one of the guides said to use anti seize for the couple of contact points on the side of the shoes, but another guide said use brake grease.

Any noticeable difference?

I already have both. just prefer doing things right the first time.

planning on using silver anti seize but if brake grease for contact points I can send it.

I do have the harbor freight drum brake shoe tool set with brake spring pliers, brake adjusting spoon, and the spring removal gauge. and now that I'm thinking about it, think I'll post some before and after photos once this is done.

any insight on the question or this job itself is appreciated.

thank you all

What's the difference between that and just paying a standard calibration company?

My grandmother was born dirt poor in the early 1900s. With the help and encouragement of her school teacher, she eventually pursued higher education and earned her PhD in English Literature. She was a beloved professor at her university for many years, and lived an interesting life full of travel and writing publications. She was also deeply involved in preserving our family history. When she was younger, she interviewed several elderly family members and compiled her notes into a journal. Later on, she published her notes as a book.

***One***... book. It contains a RICH history of family events, genealogy, whimsical facts, all of which nearly cover the entire 1800s.

She passed away in 2009. Her book was donated to the state library. Several family members, including myself, have wanted to read that book. So one day, I contacted the library staff with a proposal. Considering the significance of that book for our family history, and that only one exists, I asked if they would consider digitizing the book and making it accessible online, so that others may read it as they please.

I received a devastating, yet understandable response from the librarian in charge. Unfortunately, due to copyright laws, they are not allowed to create entire copies of the book until 50 years have passed from the author's death.

I sincerely doubt I will live long enough to see that day! At this point, I am tempted to make the trip myself. The library is well over one thousand miles away, but I do not care. I am thinking about making the trip, checking out her book, and photocopying it myself. I would not steal the physical book. It would be returned, and I would handle it with upmost care.

Reddit, I am begging you for insight on this situation. Is my reasoning logical? Are there alternatives I'm not aware of? Would I be the asshole if I copy my late grandmother's book?

Edit: My memory escaped me. The copyright is in effect for 70 years after an author's passing.

Fascinating.
