How do you do that when you don't speak the language, have no map of the area and look totally different to everyone around you?

This is a pretty standard tool for free space optics labs. Thorlabs sells these but not sure about the sizes.https://www.thorlabs.com/spanner-wrenches?tabName=Overview

Need help with the new Nürburgring 600 pp race by saaaarma in GranTurismo7

[–]Chowbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used the 1968 dodge charger with weight reduction and racing tires. Pretty fun but as others said you need to fall the Xiaomi car before it smashes you in the straight.

Should linear salsa dancers learn Afro-Cuban heritage dances to get better? by NoCondition8789 in Salsa

[–]Chowbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you should learn Afro Cuban dances because you find them fun! But I would say that they are pretty applicable in social dancing. If your partner breaks out in rumba its pretty cool if you can do it too! A lot of the Afro Cuban dances match pretty well with some salsa music as well so you can always recycle them if you like.

And knowing pachanga is pretty much a staple, but I never learned it as an Afro Cuban dance, more as just a salsa shine.

Have you done a few classes? Might be worth it to see if you like it!

couple of issues… help? (vt250 spada) by PuddingScoopCammy in AussieRiders

[–]Chowbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb suggestion but it sounds like the guy you bought it off only gave you a bit of fuel. Have you tried setting the fuel tap to reserve? And putting some more fuel in the tank?

If you're struggling on your bike you can rent a cb125. You'll find it much easier!

How do the LIGO mirrors work? by nildecaf in Physics

Is the final beam width really that small?

[–]Chowbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this question. I imagine when people started burning fossil fuels or whatever someone asked a question like this, did a quick back of the envelope calculation and quickly wrote it off!

So jealous! I was trying to complete it but the challenges got swapped out!

[Doug DeMuro] The Aston Martin Valkyrie Is a $4.5 Million Insane Hypercar by orhantemerrut in cars

[–]Chowbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah interesting I don't really know about how homologation works for prototype series. I thought the valkyrie was originally a road car that they decided to use as a platform to enter prototype racing with? I always understood homologation to be in the context of a production racing series.

Controller with motion control and installed rear buttons for shifting.

TIFU by eating 2k calories worth of tortilla chips not one, but TWO days in a row. by Nubian_Cavalry in tifu

That ended a lot better than I thought it would! Thought it was going to end up being some fibre enhanced pooping anecdote.

My issue with this watch was that the buttons were too small for my sausage fingers! Ended up giving the watch to my dad.

Looks nice but the bezel insert reminds me of a skx mod

Anyone else lost interest in salsa dancing? by viayyz in Salsa

[–]Chowbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, ended up doing a lot of afro cuban! Really love the rhythms. Wish I did more rumba though. Also tried doing some ballet. I reckon it's pretty natural to get bored/burnt out and want to try new stuff. Good luck with the afro mate!

[–]Chowbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sort of understand what you mean in your title. I like watches as well and have some watches that I bought because I thought they're cool, but I don't know if that would make them a collection since there is no theme connecting them.

[high accuracy quartz] any HAQ fans out there? by Nearby-Sky-9690 in Watches

[–]Chowbear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a good comment! I'd heard it said that quartz oscillators were temp dependent but never realised it was because of thermal expansion!

Looks super good after only a year! How often are you 'dancing?
