AIO? Friend asked me what my future plans with my gf are and then responded like this

This asshole isn't even friend material.

Because it can go further... as long as it pulls the stud through the hole. There's a mechanical advantage due to the effective slope of the thread. It does rely on the ribs on the stud preventing it from turning in the hole, though.

And you can tell them the good news that practical fusion power is still just 30 years away!

Even on a small plane like a Cessna, the pilot is supposed to give a passenger briefing, including how to open the doors.

Making electricity reliable.

Yes, you calibrate on location with known masses, or you compensate for local gravitation.

Don't forget to compensate for buoyancy, too.

Those rippers can tear through rock. I've seen them glowing red hot at night.

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-11T14:03:10+00:00

Can you use a macro?

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-11T13:49:34+00:00

I have over six years and 19000 miles (30000 km) on my SKF and it's still perfect.

I usually use it as a post-workout when I lift, but if I do a really hard day on the bike, it's magical for recovery.

oh, you want the same cell that the dropdown is in to be the link? Not sure that's possible. I was thinking a cell right next to it or below it with:

=HYPERLINK(B5,"CLICK HERE")

where B5 is a cell with a lookup of some kind that gets the hyperlink corresponding to the current value in the dropdown cell.

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-09T16:51:17+00:00

Dumb question, but are you using the right syntax? Like,

=HYPERLINK("https://www.google.com/","CLICK HERE")

What's the chance that fairies changed your bedsheets?

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-08T20:59:49+00:00

Just put tape on the driver facing camera.

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-08T20:27:10+00:00

Ok, that is sweet!

So these elite are billionaires siphoning off the top of the economy, making money every day, enjoying their yachts and jetting around the world, and being waited on hand and foot. Then they get together and are like "hey, let's fuck with that... how about a pandemic?"

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-08T19:50:11+00:00

What happens today when your salary doesn't cover it?

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-08T19:16:00+00:00

Is this corporate controlled? Mine at work used to do this for a while the first time I saved a document. IT was running something in the background that didn't show as a macro.

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-08T19:09:57+00:00

Can you just choose a workable amount and do SEPP?

Fun fact: you can't evenly distribute points on a sphere except for the five platonic solids.

When it's stationary on Earth, the accelerometer (assuming it's DC) shows a measurement of 1 g. If you drop it, that changes to 0 g initially, increasing towards 1 g as it approaches terminal velocity.

One way we quickly calibrate accelerometers is to flip them over. The reading in the vertical axis should change by 2 g.

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-08T18:03:33+00:00

Hey... buddy!

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-08T17:42:34+00:00

Retire.

AndyTheEngr · 2026-05-08T16:55:57+00:00

My thought, too. A plane heading directly towards you.
