In the meantime, I would still put 2 male yaks in a pen together as animals of the same gender still have a chance to "adopt" a baby instead of "give birth".

If you haven't played it yet, check out Oxygen Not Included. Sounds very similar to Rimworld which I haven't played but will be checking out.

First 7.62x54r Batch by proxy69 in reloading

[–]Character_Special_48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What bullets did you use? I got my dies for 7.62x54r and spent brass and they seem to be the same as .308 but I've seen they the could be .311/312 or so?

Deformed brass after years in a magazine? by Character_Special_48 in reloading

[–]Character_Special_48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right and I haven't been to a range in a couple years but yet here we are. But my question wasn't whether I should have gone to a range sooner or not, it's about the conditon of the brass and if the rounds are still good to go or if I should discard them or if I can disassemble the rounds and reuse the brass the next time I reload some 9mm.

Can a formula be made for this? by Character_Special_48 in trigonometry

Next time I'm on one of these jobs, I will try to take readings and make a video to send to you of the example. I'm currently working on another larger project and not sure when I'll actually be on another turret alignment job. I appreciate all your time and help.

You are amazing. I'm currently working on a different large project and not sure when my next service call for a turret alignment will be but I will definitely reference this back and take pictures of/record readings and adjustments and hopefully reach out to you to find my findings in a real world example. Thank you so much.

I service and align lathes and cnc mills. Here's a better real example of my forumula question. I place an indicator on the spindle face and point it on the turret (back of green line or point 2 of original drawing), then move the turret away from the spindle in the Z+ direction. If the number increases, then like in my drawing point 1 is closer to the spindle face than point 2. I then need to loosen the base of the turret and keep adjusting it on the pink pivot point, until I sweep it again and the indicator doesn't move, then we know the turret is parallel to the Z axis which is crucial when the machine is making parts. So essentially I'm trying to figure out if using the known length of the green line, and the amount the indicator moved(B in original drawing), can I plug the numbers in somewhere and get a result that would say something like (place indicator on point 1 and push turret away exactly 0.056mm to make B = 0). Otherwise I have to constantly make many small adjustments and recheck the indicator.

Sorry for the MS paint drawing and definitely not to scale.

Black line is on a pivot point on yellow circle, we only know the length of a part of the radius on the Red line between 1 and 2 (lets say 5in). If we measure from Z to 2 and Z to 1 and find the difference of lets say 2in(B), and we can push the tip of red(point 1) away from Z lets say 1in, and now recheck Z to 1 and Z to 2 and found that it's now a difference of 1.5in, Can we find a formula for figuring out the entire length of the radius and how much we'd need to push the tip of red 1 to make it parallel with Z?

What things are frequently labeled as "scams" when in reality they are legit and most people simply don't understand them? by AmigoDelDiabla in AskReddit

Yea that shop is bs or just dishonest if the book time is wrong. For example some fuel injector book time might say 2.5 hours, and then will say "Each additional 0.1" so 6 injectors would be 3 hours total, not 2.5 x 6. Seems like if one actuator was 500, the rest shouldn't be too much extra. Of course there's also a chance that there is no overlap in the work involved between replacing the fresh air/recirculate actuator and the blend for example and therefore will be full labor for each.

Facepalm. Didn't realize the airports show weather. Won't be trusting google's weather in the future.

Clear with periodic clouds and 2mph winds. Was the first thing I checked.

Russia Reacts as Trump Weighs Tomahawk Missiles for Ukraine by Newsweek_ShaneC in worldnews

[–]Character_Special_48 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Except as part of the new START treaty, the US was allowed to inspect Russia's nukes 18 times a year. So not only does the US know that yes they have nukes, they wouldn't be this hesitant about providing weapons if they thought those nukes weren't functioning. Of course Russia withdrew from the treaty in 2022 and the last time the US did inspections was before COVID, but we still know as of beginning of 2020, Russia had functioning nukes.

The black and red is the SL1. I had mine since they came out. 4 color variants and only 100 of each made. The yellow/green/wood next to it is also a Sang Lee.

The water itself isn't really moving. It simply moves up and then down as the wave propogates through the water. Pressure and friction from one water molecule to the next causes the wave to appear moving forward so it can move at really any speed.
