    What grade do you give the Engineering Community for Diversity?

    And we all only have one vote, so why vote when there are hundreds of millions cast every four years?

    What grade do you give the Engineering Community for Diversity?

    That's not nice.  The part of my arm that's showing has had exposure to the sun so it's more tan.  The rest of me is so pale that I'm clear.

    That picture doesn't contain my skin tone.  Here, I'll help.

    What grade do you give the Engineering Community for Diversity?

    Here is my opinion, for the profession and life itself, regarding race, ethnicity, etc...  Stop frickin' seeing people as a color.  You want to continue problems?  Continue classifying people as a color.  Keep seeing differences and all you'll ever do is see people as different. For engineers -...

    Nutrition, Diet, and Exercise: Notes, Goals, and Resources (these people just keep talking about crossfit)

    Compared to the gazelles who run past me with ease, I definitely do NOT have a runner's body.  I best resemble an out-of-shape swimmer (broad shoulders / chest and thick legs) because that's what I am.   I've found running to be terribly convenient for cardio.  Unlike swimming, I can change...

    This morning's weigh-in has me at 0.6 lbf away from another milestone - breaking into the 180's.  We'll see how homemade bean burgers and coleslaw affect tomorrow's weigh-in.

    Nutrition, Diet, and Exercise: Notes, Goals, and Resources (these people just keep talking about crossfit)

    Taking before / after measurements and pictures can be mind blowing.  Don't do it every day or week, but only at the beginning and after an extended period of time.  Otherwise, very minor fluctuations from day-to-day may discourage further progress.  I don't do it anymore, but I did it years ago...

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    It’s in!  It works with no leaks!  Oh the old dishwasher is from 1993.  :blink2:  After 27 years in service, I can say it led a good life.

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    Replacing a dishwasher should be easy.  Have you ever tried to replace one in a 90 year old house?  Sheeeeeiiiiiiiiiiittt.  Our house has wood floors throughout.  Like, the good stuff they used a long time ago.  At some point, a previous owner thought it'd be neat to put brick pavers over the...

    It may have been a lot of water weight.  Either way, it's gone and I could feel it.  Moving on after this, I'll just eat healthier (continue the no snacking / grazing when I'm bored at home, no finishing meals of the small dependents in the house, etc...) and continue running and resistance here...

    Nutrition, Diet, and Exercise: Notes, Goals, and Resources (these people just keep talking about crossfit)

    I haven't done any resistance training yet, only "eat less, move more".  My running has gotten a lot better.  I can "run" 5 miles without walking now.  Granted my knees still feel like someone's sticking a screwdriver in them for the first 1/4 mile or so.  And dietitians would likely say my...

    The Automotive Thread

    SWEEEEET!!!  Check out the new brake system for my wife's Rav4 that arrived yesterday!  Can't wait to install! No.  I'm not kidding.  This box, which was supposed to weigh >50 lbf, contained ONLY a @#)$(#@ing "reversible rug pad".  WTF?!?  Good thing the yellow "CAUTION: HEAVY" sticker was...
