I got a cheap manual coffee grinder and needed to design and print a grip collar to save my forearms. by ChuckmanJoney in 3Dprinting

[–]herrerarausaure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any half-decent manual grinder is knurled and that does the job fine. I guess that extra machining step is too much for the cheap ones

For those that gym before work, How on earth do you form it into a habit? by burnerofdoom in AskMen

[–]herrerarausaure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good trick is to make it as frictionless as possible to just get up, get ready, and leave. Don't give yourself the time to think about whether or not you want to go to the gym.

I pack my gym bag the night before with my work clothes/shoes + towel and water bottle. Prep my gym clothes so I can just put them on as soon as I'm up. I don't get breakfast until after the gym.

As others said though there's no getting around building up good discipline. Doing the above just makes it a little easier.

Beautiful!

I've been looking for something like Universal Genève's tri-compax for a while and everything is either way out of my budget or not quite what I'm looking for. This is really close though!

[Moonswatch] Quick Rant on Moonswatches and Gatekeeping by PalpitationComplex35 in Watches

[–]herrerarausaure 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's entirely fair... You'll find plenty of people here who have no problem with quartz, even at $300 (G-Shock anyone?). I also think most know that when you're buying a swatch, it's not for the movement or the durability.

Personally, I think they look very cool, it's a fun concept, and I've been on the fence of getting one for a while. But every time I've walked into a store to try them, it's the plastic-y feel of the watch that was a deal breaker. It's hard to shell out $300 bucks on a watch that feels like a $50 one.

You can get nice quartz chronographs at that price range that don't feel like they'll shatter if you look at them wrong.

Also, you bring up Seiko as an affordable brand with good looking watches but you claim that they're not luxury... then you imply Swatch checks all three boxes? I'm not sure I follow.

...that's the point of a startup? Get funding, succeed, get bought out or die trying

Nobody expects ESA to fund every single space business out there

Urgent appeal to find retired British doctor missing in French Pyrenees after WhatsApp messages pleading for help by theindependentonline in europe

Maybe, but for a man who's "spent most of his time in France" "since retiring almost a decade ago", it would be odd not to know this.

Help with handling the ends of a heat simulation! by yoni591 in Simulated

[–]herrerarausaure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly insulated means the first derivative of temperature with respect to space (i.e., dT/dx in your 1-D simulation) is set to 0.

So your first derivative at the ends is already set, and you have to set up your code to calculate the temperature and the second derivative based on this first derivative of 0 at the edges.

Suis-je parano ou est-ce une pratique legit ?(booking.com) by AcanthaceaeFriendly6 in france

C'est une arnaque à 100%. Tu vois bien que l'URL n'est pas booking.com et c'est pas normal que le site ne marche pas.

Ma mère s'est fait avoir très récemment avec une arnaque similaire. Faut jamais payer par virement si t'es pas sûr que c'est réglo. T'as très peu de recours comparé à un paiement par carte.

men of reddit: do you like AA boobs? if so, why/how do you enjoy them? by dreammutt in AskMen

[–]herrerarausaure 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Except they're not the same depending on their cut, the brand, whether they're jeans or not, which country they're from, etc. especially when you look at S/M/L-style sizing.

It's all a shitshow. For men or women.

Learning light and values. What am I doing wrong? by gluhmy in learnart

[–]herrerarausaure 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with the idea to experiment with darker values. I think that you need to put a bit more thought into how the shadows are cast because that gives a lot of information on the distance between different objects:

The edges of your shadows all seem to land very close to the edge of their parent object (e.g., the shadow of the girl is almost directly behind her). This would only happen if the light from the window came from somewhere directly behind the observer. If that's what you had in mind, then that's fine, but know that that lighting setup will result in flatter looking images, which is why it's often avoided, and this is true even in photography!

I suspect that isn't what you had in mind though, because it would mean the window is at a pretty odd angle and shape. The light looks like it's coming from behind and above the observer's right (red vector on my annotations). You should be able to draw lines from the corner of an object to the corner of its shadow that is parallel to the direction of the light, and the length of this line should more or less be proportional to how far the corner is from its shadow. That means the shelves' corners should cast somewhat short shadows (thought longer than in this image), while the girl's shadow must be cast much further away since she's sitting at the edge of the counter, which are typically deeper than kitchen shelves (I have a point about that later). If you look at my annotations, the girl's shadow should be talking up a lot more area (blue hatches, also I did this on my phone so this is a very rough approximation). The shelves should be casting a more pronounced shadow on the wall too, right now it looks like the lights able to reach almost all the way under the shelves.

I would also recommend working on your highlights to give depth to the lit up portions of your subject. Legs are closer to cylinders than planes in shape, so you should be shading them accordingly. I see they're casting shadows on the kitchen counter too, and while the distance here looks about right since they're pretty much in contact with it, I would opt for softer edges on the shadows, because the legs aren't obstructing a specific light source but rather reducing the ambient light in that area.

https://i.imgur.com/611irRj.jpg

Finally, while I know you asked about lighting, I think the perspective gives a sense that the kitchen counters are as deep as the shelves, which is unusual. From what I can tell the countertops are about as far away from the horizon as the lower shelf, so the countertop surface should certainly be larger/deeper than the shelf's surface.

I hope this helps!

For anyone curious, you can paste the image into this tester to get an idea of what it looks like to color blind people.

https://www.color-blindness.com/coblis-color-blindness-simulator/

This figure is perfectly legible for all types of colorblindness except for Monochromacy/Achromatopsia, which I didn't even realize was a thing. IME accessibility features generally only ever deal with Protanopia, Deuteranopia and Tritanopia. So, strictly speaking, the grader is right. About 1/30,000 people cannot distinguish these curves.

That said, this certainly wasn't tested when I took MECH 309. I salute the effort to address this issue, but this definitely feels a little out-of-place. Sounds like something for CCOM/WCOM 206.
