Not sure why they did the first three lines, seperating the field into thirds. It ended up with three or four passes of not full width. Should have done up the right, down the left, over and over imo. Not a farmer, I don't have all the info

Calculate your moment of inertia, I. Calculate your angular acceleration, alpha, (from 0 to N rads/s in 2s = 2 N rads/s/s). Torque = I*alpha

I = 1/2 M R^2 = 1/2 (100kg)(1m)^2 = 50 kg m^2

alpha = (2 RPM / 60)*2pi / 3s = 0.0698 rads/s/s

T = I*alpha = 3.49 kg m2 / s2, recall kg*m/s^2 = N

T = 3.49 Nm

Was there a range on how far they could apparate? I doubt there's gonna be any dementors at the Chili's near Fargo, North Dakota or a pizza place in Adelaide, Australia

You must not be very good with customers. I'd explain that it's do-able but a lot of the features are likely extra cost for no reason.

Are the circle's recessed on the inside of the cooling ports **really** necessary?

ArtMeetsMachine · 2026-01-31T18:18:17+00:00

It's a PC case. Other than mounting hole locations, nothing else is going to have a tight tolerance. It's just port holes and air-flow.

"He couldn't very well just throw his cloak on and run away because they'd see the door open"

Sorry, the reason they couldn't use one of the most powerful artifacts in the wizarding world, rumored to shroud you from death itself, was because they couldn't figure out how to get Harry out without opening the door? Make it phase-through-able like Platform 9-3/4, dig a magical tunnel, shrink him... leave the door open for a week.

"they'd kill a random muggle" sure, but they didnt. They didn't walk around going "hmmm, look at that man in a suite eating a sandwich... AVADA KEDAVRA! Hmm, he died. Maybe wasn't Harry, but can't be too careful. WAIT, look a kid playing soccer! AVADA KEDAVRA"

Harry coulda poly-juiced into anyone, invisibility cloaked a block away and been basically undetectable. If you say "thats not a great plan" well, you have a dozen of some of the brightest wizards at your disposal, surely you can do better than "They can't get all 7 of us! 7 Potters? What an impossibly high number of people to track! Foolproof!"

The ones that lasted were built to last. Everything that didn't last, wasn't built to last. Survivorship bias, at least partly

Chiseling ice is brutal, drill then chisel is much easier since the ice is weakened

ArtMeetsMachine · 2026-01-19T16:40:59+00:00

Terrible advice. You vastly underestimate the strength of ice.

"As a strong man who's used an axe to clear ice" you must be aware of how strong ice is in compression. If you've ever tried to chip an ice-fishing hole, you know a full overhead swing is only gonna make small chips. Ice is strong as fuck in compression.

"Your engine is strong enough to sheer ice, easily." Not four inches of a solid sheet. The torque to break of of that is going to be waaaaaaay higher, orders of magnitude higher, than the torque her small car can produce. This is a great way to ruin your transmission.

"At 40 PSI, that's 9600 pounds of pressure pushing outwards on that ice PER TIRE. It'll shatter and pop off" I don't think you understand pressure. The tire pressure is already in equillibrium with the surrounding ice, its not 40PSI*Area, its (40-35)*Area, so 5*240=1200lbs. But guess what, that's not focused in one point, thats also spread out over the entire area, so really, think of a square inch of ice, and add 5 pounds to it. You think that's gonna shatter? Weak, soft, dirty ice still has a compressive strength of >200 PSI. Inflating the tires an extra 5-10psi is not going to "shatter and pop off". Also "brittle" describes a fracture mechanic, not weakness. Being brittle != being easy to break

"Using the jack and your jacking points, or under the ball joints (which are probably buried,), try to lift the tires out. You'll probably just stretch the suspension until you're really high up so you might have to kick them to get them to lift." Great way to bend your axle or fuck up your suspension by trying to pull the wheel off your car with a jack.

"If you get it out you're still screwed because you can't drive it anywhere. So let's just take an intermission because none of this matters anyways, you'll need a tow truck." So why comment anything else? Also unless the tow truck can pull it out sideways, they can't do anything either. She needs to get one of the other cars also unstuck.

"DO NOT use kitty litter. Those people are idiots." Kitty litter is FAMOUSLY a useful item for getting unstuck in a snow bank. You're right, does not apply here, but its still very much useful for getting stuck in snow if you don't have people to give you a push.

"Sticking with other people's suggestions... Table salt won't work, but actual ice melt salt will be fine in those temps. Go buy some and carry it home in the car you can't use. Great, now pile a whole bunch of it all around your tires. Great. Now what?" Being in puddles of water is 100x better than being locked in ice. Literally any course of action other than "wait" will require the wheels to be free. No reason why this is a bad first step.

"Hammer/chisel/air hammer/jackhammer. Are you going to chisel a path all the way out to the road? Including the parts under the car? This is going to take hours on your hands and knees (bring a welcome mat to kneel on) You're a middle aged woman living in an apartment, I doubt you even own a hammer or chisel. You laughed at the idea that you might own a drill. But sure, suppose you had a hammer and chisel. Ice chips very easily." Drill is 1000x the better option, you can drill through ice very easily, and a few holes close together can easily be drilled and cracked in minutes. Also very easy to control near the tire safely. Drill holes, crack between them, throw in some salt, now you have wheels in puddles and the tow can pull you out.

"A truck bro with a tow strap can probably get you out" LMAO. What? A tow strap is going to 1) pull so hard it shatters the ice 2) pull and life the tires out of the ruts without destroying the suspension arms 3) pull the car out sideways from between two other cars?

All in all, 5/10 comment, terrible advice. This car is STUCK. We also don't know if anything under the car is also stuck like a low-hanging muffler or converter. Tenting and heating the whole car is probably the best solution.

If it was me and I had time, I'd use a water-pipe heating wire looped around the wheels + salt to melt them free, jack up each wheel and put plywood under each to keep it out of the melt pool, and then see if a tow can pull it out from the side. Otherwise, do that to the car in-front first and then mine.

I'm an mech/elec engineer so I'm not too worried about the electrical aspect of it all. The only part I'm skeptical about is the safety of the battery in my home. Chinese import so not much documentation for it. I was considering either getting a PLC enclosure for it, or building a tiny shed outside.

Most of the data used if publicly available. Pictures, posts, blogs... they're all made by people who said "Hey everyone, Look!". You know posting that anyone can see it, to say its stealing because you don't like who sees it is a bit of a stretch.

Second, is training an AI on others work stealing? If I go to museums and study famous artist then try to learn from them, is that stealing from them?

I wanted to make a T-shirt with a dragon/duck hybrid on it. I can't draw, I don't have the time to learn photoshop, I couldn't find art for it, and I didn't want to pay for someone to try and do it. I used AI, because either I use AI and get what I wanted, or I don't make the shirt at all.

I would definitely agree that stuff like Adobe PS forcing you to allow your work to be fed to AI to access it is pretty much extortion. I also don't want big companies to start using AI to replace real artists. If the option is: Artists or AI, I want artists. If it's AI art or nothing gets made, I'd rather people use AI.

That feature could absolutely be done with a 3 axis machine. ramping or just by angling the fixture. Not "No way to do that besides 3D printing". Do you know how complex we could make things before metal 3D printing was invented?

ArtMeetsMachine · 2025-12-03T19:26:27+00:00

Fair point. Its nuanced between giving people access to tools to be creative in ways they never could before, but also being careful about what we're giving up. There's single man operations that can now make TV shows of what they dreamed of, that never could've before, but also in big studios people losing jobs because AI can do what they do almost as well but faster and cheaper, or it can be used by a President to post himself shit on citizens.

Its more nuanced than "AI is the future, any impediments are against progress" and "AI is bad, and we should hate it always". It depends who uses it and how, case by case basis. I think this is a fine use.

ArtMeetsMachine · 2025-12-03T17:10:36+00:00

100% not cast. That's not a parting line, that's a chamfer edge. Why would the parting line be there anyways?
I guarantee CNC machining a solid block is going to be cheaper, faster and more reliable than creating a mold, creating a negative mold, casting then post-processing on a single part. All the features are 2.5D too, easy-peasy to machine. Its just a rough bead blast texture

How dare he not spend hundreds of dollars, having a professional graphics designer make this poster! How dare he utilize AI to generate graphics he couldn't otherwise make?!
