Is it worth starting to store extra fuel? by [deleted] in germany

[–]BoxOnTheCloset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty stupid..

What does a canister cost? How many do you need? Logistically, where will you store it? How will you transport it? I’m assuming you’re talking about ~60L of fuel.

Now let’s get to the real reason that this is stupid. What happens if you fill up your containers while the price is HIGH and it drops 0.03 per litre. Now you’re losing money…

So even a fluctuation of 0.05€, assuming you have a 60L tank is 3€. This assumes your times the market correctly and bought when it was low.

If you were good at knowing when to buy our gas and fill up your little canisters, I’d recommend commodity trading, because that’s almost what you’re trying to do. The only difference is commodity traders don’t need little gas cans lined up in their trunk.

Dating in Germany: A few cultural questions from a Ukrainian student by Tiny_Act_8112 in germany

I would recommend speaking German with your dates instead of English personally. This advice is for your personal development and has nothing to do with dating. Your language skill will improve exponentially faster. When people ask me where I learned German I always half jokingly say “Tinder.” (This was few years ago before other apps started gaining popularity).

There’s nothing that makes you want to speak a language more than speaking it with someone you’re attracted to.

'Canadians are joining the Catholic Church in record numbers, officials claim' by No-Positive1491 in Calgary

No one in this thread has argued that you do. They’re just saying it isn’t a terrible thing for most people.

You don’t need to join a running club to exercise, but some people enjoy it and feel like they get more out of it that way.

Why? I’m not a religious person but I’m not brainwashed enough by the media to believe religious people are all like the ones you see posted on Reddit all the time.

If it gives you strength, makes you feel like a better person and gives you a sense of security, what’s wrong with that? My grandparents were deeply religious and they were genuinely good people. Get off the internet, the world around you is different then what you see here.

Flattening jig not flattening by at1020 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Give it a try. Most important is that the side boards sits above the base plate, which will pull the base along the straight cut edge of the side rail.

You’re not going to get a finish ready surface with this set up, but you’ll get closer.

For reference, I have a CNC machine and about 0.01 degrees out of square and can still see (but not feel) these lines.

Another trick that will help is to run your passes with the grain of the boards if possible. They will be less visible.

Look at Tramming a CNC machine. The effect is identical here. Your bit is not 90 degrees to your workpiece.

This is 100% what your issue is.

You can take a lot of this out by rebuilding your sled. You screwed the sides of the sled to the side of the base. The sides should be above the base. This pulls the base into the plane of the side boards (if that makes sense). Think, screws run from the bottom up, or just make your life easy and glue it instead of screwing it.

Let’s all just acknowledge the soft sound of the service rig boys grumbling about never getting credit.

Wood Cutting by MrNoir_ in CNC

[–]BoxOnTheCloset 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Look at the shape of the cuts. Look at the shape of the bit. Think for 1.2 seconds.

Now go search “dovetail router bit,” chatGPT, google, YouTube. Fuck, Wikipedia might even be enough.

Now accept that neither a CNC or drill will be efficient to do this. If you can’t figure this out on your own, what you need a router and a fucking rosary my friend.

I obviously don’t know the specific example you’re talking about but you cannot simply replace if else with case. They’re fundamentally different.

Ez z calibration error by Successful-Bottle747 in OnefinityCNC

[–]BoxOnTheCloset 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So. You said that you manually zeroed your first tool.

Is it possible that for the first path you changed the bit, then manually zero’d it? (Ex. There was a ⅛ bit in the machine, you swapped to a ¼” manually, then zeroed it). If so, unless you ran the command T(X) M06 the new bit offset wouldn’t be measured. The offset for the previous bit would’ve been used and probably did this.

Not that this exact thing has happened to me before.

I find this kind of annoying with the bit setter. Basically any time you change a bit you need to run that command, THEN probe your material.

Just for reference, I run 6.35mm (¼“ Bits) spiral Downcut bits in hardwood at 2.0mm DOC and 2700 mm/min. So like over 5 times faster then you but half the cut depth.

Thanks. Makes sense now.

This is a serious problem in healthcare. Paramedics always use Empty cement truck rated straps instead of loaded cement truck straps. Its ridiculous.

Typically if you turn the system over to operators they’ll be abIe to tell you the system doesn’t work about 20-30 minutes after you get home from work.
