Art deco.

Use LotR to tell the difference. If it looks like it was made by the elves, it’s art nouveau. It if looks like the dwarves cranked it out, it’s art deco.

Squares are a dead give away for dwarves. Knife ears don’t like square corners.

Turns out you just have to take a picture.

You’re missing the entire point of government.

The goal of communism is control. It always has been. It always will be.

Why?

Because it is a system of governance designed by and used for controlling humans.

Government owned does NOT mean it is owned by the people. It simply means it’s owned by the people who control the government.

Autism has always been terrible at reading emotions of others.

I’m Bing chillin. I don’t give a solitary fuck if you decided to rename tensile strength as “stringle bringle factor”. Im just tired of people using “strong” as a catch all descriptor when it actually doesn’t mean much of anything in context.

How about you go and contemplate the definitions of a chill pill for a while broseph

Fuckwit was an actual engineer, but go ahead and tell me again how all the bad engineers are “fake” wannabes and all the “real” actual engineers are perfect little angels that never did anything wrong.

An engineer made the oceangate sub. Worked out pretty well for him. Right up until it didn’t.

And you’re forgetting that the chumps making these engineering definitions are chump engineers who think they’re making parts in a theoretical plane of existence where only their numbers matter.

In reality, everything should be made out of copper nickel superalloys because man that shit is cool af. Frfr if you ever get a chance to mess with aluminum copper nickel you should do it because that shit is borderline mystical.

I’m real tired of “strongest material” being thrown around. As a welder turned machinist, “strong” doesn’t mean much of anything to me. Aluminum is plenty “strong” but it’s softer than some woods. Tungsten carbide is harder than a coffin nail but you can chip it by looking at it funny sometimes. Kevlar is plenty tough, but it isn’t hard or particularly flexible. There isn’t any super material that will ever do all the things “the best” and throwing around meaningless titles for clickbait feels childish at best and exploitative at worst.

I was just watching about this shit the other day

Shhhhhh if you’re too loud, someone will try to monetize it

They do eat to ticks, but they’re resistant to Lyme disease, not rabies. It’s not that opossum hunt ticks or anything, they’re just real good at grooming, and as ticks are real good at sticking to furry critters, opossum naturally end up fighting both ticks numbers and Lyme disease incidents.

So, yeah, same same but different.

You’d be surprised how slow machining can be. Cutting speeds are all in sfm (surface feet per minute) and when you have a BIG part, them feets add up quick. Check out videos of big old vertical lathes running big parts. You can get down to a quarter of an rpm but the flange or fitting is so fucking huge that you’re still pushing 100-200 sfm at the bit.

There are no “typical values” when you’re running a mill or lathe. You could look up “speeds and feeds”, but that’s really just a table that you plug into an equation to figure out how to set the machine. It all depends on what you’re doing and what you’re doing it with. Drilling a hole with a high speed steel drill bit is going to be a bit different than drilling it with a carbide spade, and all that is going to depend heavily on whether you’re trying to run through titanium or tin. You need to fine tune running “x” bit through “y” material for a “z” sized cut.

Essentially, this is the knowledge that separates skilled labor from manual labor, and machining is (was, RIP cnc button pushers) skilled labor.

At the end of the day for most metal machining you’ll need between 50hp and 100hp to be up to modern standards. If you want to get that through steam or electric motors or whatever that’s up to you

Torque is the real limiting factor. You can always gear up or down for whatever you’re working on, but at the end of the day you need enough torque to get the work done. And a proper milling machine needs A LOT of torque.

You don’t need an electric motor. You just need enough spin. I’ve seen old mills and lathes that run on steam. An electric motor just happens to be very convenient with our current technology.

Sure, but it’s not as impressive (imo) when you also need a computer control system, a bunch of circuitry and electronics, and a whole mess of software to make it work in the end. A mill just needs enough spin and it runs exactly as intended.

Pretty much anything in a machine shop made in the last 80 years or so. So many people turn up their noses at anything that isn’t computer controlled anymore. Yknow what a big old mill can do that a CNC can’t? It can make every single part needed to make a new mill. It’s a self replicating machine with the right know how. People don’t respect that kind of quality anymore.

Donate to Sikh kitchens. Core tenant of their religion is simple acts of kindness for the sake of being kind. They take everyone in at Sikh kitchens. Even cities in Texas and CA that like to ban feeding the homeless can’t do shit about these kitchens because it is recognized as a part of their worship.

Man that is a hard take. Amy Shumer is a female clone of nick swardson minus the creativity, which is miniscule but significant in this comparison. Both of them peaked at high school humor and never got over it.
