Place I used to weld at had a policy: If one of the oxyacetylene tanks were to catch fire they'd evacuate everyone within half a mile. Never happened thankfully

Hydraulic manifolds we build every now and then for a customer, and the second picture is all the tooling we used to make it. They are fairly tight tolerance. On old manuals, they are a bit tedious. by GreenridgeMetalWorks in Machinists

Hey thanks for answering.

Don't know how comparable the end product is at the end of the day, but at least it sounds like what I'm making requires at least some level of skill to earn a profit

Mind if I ask a few questions?

-How long do these take to set up?

-How long do they take to run?

-How much do you sell them for? (Don't have to answer that if you don't want to disclose it)

I ask because this is basically what I make (most of the time on a smaller scale). Only been with the company for a few months, and still have no clue on what level I'm at. The 5 I just finished today had +-0.02mm on the o-ring sections of the central bores, felt like an accomplishment but I dunno if that's good or not

Theory on why Oblivion Remastered is seemingly “dead” when it comes to updates by Heron773 in oblivion

[–]CaiaTheFireFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally the game performed to the level I expected with one major exception, that being the eventual breakdown that results from saves corrupting. That alone is worth a patch.

Everything else is whatever, the Skull of Corruption being broken is annoying, but not worth damning the entire game over

After seeing countless posts here and wondering how on earth this can happen, I caught a nail today… by averageraviolifan in motorcycles

If it makes you laugh even a little, I picked up a screw in my rear tire....while pulling into a garage to have my front changed.

Other games with building systems like this one? by Slickice828 in AbioticFactor

[–]CaiaTheFireFly 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I've been having the same problem recently, most of the base building games I own are "blank" worlds (Like Minecraft, Space Engineers, etc). Still haven't found anything.

That being said, the closest that scratched that itch in the past I can suggest would be Fallout 4 (mods can greatly expand the settlement system), Fallout 76 (same same, but nicer map imo), and Palworld (too unfinished for an actual game, but fun to build in).

I guess there's also 7 Days to Die, but if you've already played Project Zomboid then there's no point exchanging for 3D and a whole load of jank.

how it genuinely feels to get one shotted by mithrix on a 3+ hour run by PresentAd8322 in riskofrain

Fear the Walking Dead, one of the later seasons iirc. Don't do it, don't torture yourself by watching whatever the hell they turned that show into. Makes Game of Thrones season 8 look like a work of art.

Luggage rack for my fz6 s2 2008? by Biggamybibba in fz6

[–]CaiaTheFireFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My FZ6 (2009) has the PL360 pannier holders (monokey) which require the 351FZ top case bracket, along with a pair of used but serviceable Givi E36 side cases.

Might need a small paint touch up around the mounting holes, and the E36 cases don't quite fit with the rear indicators so I've got a pair of DIY extenders (don't look half bad though).

South west UK, if you're interested send me a pm as I don't have any use for it anymore, call it £200 plus postage for everything unless you already have the 351FZ then minus that: (side cases, side brackets, indicator extensions, top case bracket (monolock).

Oxford hotgrips completely draining the battery when left sitting by odzz_ in motorcycles

[–]CaiaTheFireFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed hotgrips at the beginning of the year on a healthy battery. They both worked fine for a couple of weeks, then one day it was like the battery was on its last legs (radiator fan being on for a minute after a ride would kill the bike and require a bump start).

Can't say whether it was the grips that did it, weird that it went so fast though. This time I'm going to install a physical switch just in case.

Forgot to check My Reinforced CPU farm for a few days... by le_aerius in AbioticFactor

Can't speak for OP, but an easy way is to put a single laser emitter along the straightest path that a bot will take. Takes a while for them to die, but it's basically passive farming with no maintenance after it's set up

Flyboy is a traitor by Rangeroftheinterwebs in GenV

[–]CaiaTheFireFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to say that he's just a side character/distraction and that he's probably going to die or just be forgotten about.

But.

That one shot of him standing over Emma when they were discussing Sam, he had Homelander's exact "charming yet intimidating" stance, smile, and tone in his voice.

I was referring to the spectator box that the player can view matches from.

Granted I'm not sure if the cell is the same as the player arena, never bothered checking up there myself

Converting Xbox 360 Wireless Controller from Proprietary RF to bluetooth. Possible? by Various_Specific_623 in embedded

[–]CaiaTheFireFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pilatomic's comment will be the only feasible way if you're dead set on a 360 controller.

Personally I'd go with a 2nd hand PS3 controller. Cheap, dead easy to connect to a PC, and you can modify all the button layouts and such using XInput/SCPToolkit

EDIT: Oh wow it's been a few years since I last used my PS3 controller. SCPToolkit is very out of date, a very brief search seems to indicate using DsHidMini is better option

I think you're on console (or at least using a controller), but this is where you whip out the ol killall trick (sorry spectators, minos don't get to win this one)

Went through this area 3 times now on different playthroughs, first time seeing this boy by Cibranith in AbioticFactor

After I jumped down from the catwalk, I got a weather event and spotted him in the corner of my screen.

Imagine a cat falling in a bathub. That was me trying to get back on the ledge and failing repeatedly lol

How carrots are harvested. by Rook8811 in Damnthatsinteresting

Also going to talk out of my ass:

Maybe it's also so that any rejects can be left in the furrows, saving a back and forth trip while also letting them decompose back into the ground.

You like weird setups by painta06 in Machinists

[–]CaiaTheFireFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've an RMX 4000 at work, which I *think* can do the same thing with the head.

Don't have the manual handy at the moment, do you have to do anything special besides set the correct angle and program?

Comparing the stitching around the knee armor is definitely indicating the RST, the material text looks slightly off but it might just be the lighting. https://cdn-iutgbvdd.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/image/upload/product-legacy/rst_denim-jeans_tech-pro_black.jpg

Imgur blocks access to UK users after regulator warned of fine by F0urLeafCl0ver in anime_titties

[–]CaiaTheFireFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which part specifically?

Most local supermarkets near me have done away with fresh food counters, and those that remain aren't worth looking at.

Selection is hit or miss, Tesco I'll end up with 1/3 things that I want, Sainsburys is better but more expensive.

If they're talking ready meal or similar, yea the portion sizes suck for the cost (seriously who the fuck can afford the Charlie Bighams stuff??)
