Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.





Chemical analysis takes a while even with a cooperative law enforcement system - unless he fesses up or it was something really obvious I doubt at this point that anyone knows what was in the syringe.


How often do you check the summaries? Real question, I’ve used similar tools and the accuracy to what it’s citing has been hilariously bad. Be cool if there was a tool out there that was bucking the trend.


Don’t get too excited folks, Nadella’s never been right about anything before…


“Almost everything on Linux is easier to set up than on windows” has me rolling. This shit is exactly why people dismiss Linux as an option - linux enthusiasts refuse to accept the flaws in the OS, and that means those flaws never get addressed. God, or they’ve never had to deal with a driver incompatibility before, maybe they’re just leading a charmed life…
And this is from someone that’s daily driven Linux for well over a decade. Like it’s a better option than windows, but it’s not so great that there’s not aspects that need to be improved.
Are there nonabrasive dishwasher detergents?
Some types of antidepressants have a very common side effect where they massively reduce (sometimes to the point of completely eliminating) your sex drive. It’s a really shitty tradeoff.
Generally the reason not to put knives in the dishwasher is because the mild abrasives used in some detergents, and more importantly the agitation which bonks them around, can dull the edge (and damage the coating on the racks that prevents your dishwasher from rusting, if you have one that isn’t full plastic) (also not promptly drying the knife will lead to rusting if you have carbon steel instead of cres knives).


This was at CES, it’s basically one massive advertisement for trendy bs. Most of the american firms represented were there for AI and wearable tech, since the push for consumer robotics is mostly a dying fad in the US and AI is the hot new thing.
It super does though the specific characteristics vary depending on where it was extracted (iirc crude from the canadian oil sands is borderline explosive)
Yeah, there’s tons of plans out there for DIY helicopters you can get from the hobby aviation community. Usually the sticking point is making the rotor blades themselves, but I’ve seen some people get off the ground with carbon-fibre laminate blades. Not sure I’d trust them personally but it does work.
Oh, I love how rabbit-holey metallurgy can get. One of my favorite topics is the processes used to cool hardened gears that have to be ground. Keeping the temperatures below a certain point so that they don’t lose the temper is surprisingly difficult even with external flood cooling (or working fully submerged), so you wind up with insane looking profile cutters that have cooling lines built into them directly.
Also the techiques to monitor the diameter of abrasive grinding tools get wild, like monitoring the capillary pressure of the coolant spray and similarly insane feats of precision.
Industrial high precision lost-wax usually has a mold made from many layers, often either done in traditional monlith casting frames (big slabs of cement or plaster or casting sand or etc) or formed by dipping the parts into various cement slurries (a bit like a candle. The first few layers are generally a low-additive “print coat” made from ceramics akin to porcelain (that won’t react with the material being cast), and then for strength they’re bulked up with thick layers of stuff that usually has been bulked up with sand and recycled shells of precious castings that have been crushed down.)
It’s a fascinating process.
Oh lol, mixed up you and bizarroland.
No, but metallurgy isn’t a straightforward peocess like they were kinda implying. Gears, especially extremely high performance ones like in aerospace, have partial hardening, surface treatments, even exotic things like mixed alloys to ensure they meet the mechanical demands required of them. You can’t simply cast a gear and expect it to work - in this case if you tried as they were describing you’d likely just have the teeth shear when you tried to take off and you’d be fine, but there’s a real good reason that part costs as much as it does and it’s not just the administrative costs that come with aviation part documentation requirements.
Casting itself is fine for many applications, and advanced casting techniques are incredibly complicated and suitable in one form or another for many applications, but not all things should be cast.
Discover that 3d printing can’t meet the precision requirements and cast metal won’t meet the mechnaical requirements, gear shears, make peace with your fate, fall from sky onto local orphanage’s annual puppy adoption drive.


Assuming he’s right (and boy, being sued by apple is a huge boost to his credibility), they’re keeping the stupid camera bump thing from the air???
