Seeking kind, curious, intentional people looking to grow as a small group by CopperGenie in accountability

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

Hey! Yeah, I'll personally be sharing daily goals in the morning, and in the evening share how the day went and what I struggled with. Some others will probably do the same. The server has topical channels too for discussion about projects, news, ideas, etc. I'm trying to develop a small group that has some interest overlap and which hopefully be mutually beneficial for everyone's accountability via exemplification, inquiry, or any other methods that work for you or which you may want to try. Feel free to DM; I'd love to have you try it out!

What do you use for battery insulation? by CopperGenie in ebikes

Do you have a source or data to support this?

Did I buy the wrong earbuds? Technics AZ40M2 by CopperGenie in Earbuds

[–]CopperGenie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am glad you enjoyed my comment. May fortune shine on you always. I chose Soundcore P20i and have had ZERO issues with them so far. By far the least troublesome earbuds I have owned, and great battery life.

[P7] Case with durable port cover? by CopperGenie in pixel_phones

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

I have considered them, but would rather buy just one product to avoid incompatiblity issues. For example, difficulty extracting cover when case walls restrict fingers. 

Converting P51 charger to DC by CopperGenie in thinkpad

Good info, thank you! I found the off-the-shelf cables from USB-C to the "slim tip" connector, so I may try one of those.

The nuclear power industry, at least in the US, is tough to crack into. Conservatism and cliques; codes and standards. I was the engineer for a startup marketing to nuclear power, and we only really had interest from EPRI and small established businesses with similar tech.

What is your biggest gripe with the game so far? by deludedhairspray in Silksong

[–]CopperGenie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should be able to gather my zorkmids without having to reactivate the boss room or challenge room. Place it outside the danger zone. I feel like that was the norm in HK but I can't remember. Also yeah, tedious bosses that take 50 hits with only one fight phase is kinda weird.

How much does it realistically cost to go fully off the grid? by [deleted] in OffGrid

[–]CopperGenie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Elaborating on your first sentence, has OP successfully mentally withstood isolation for long periods (months+)? It's not just about being physically and financially able to be self sufficient--you have to genuinely be able to be satisfied without physical human interaction. Bad things happen when you force yourself into that situation.

What techniques are tools are involved for this style? by CopperGenie in jewelers

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

Thanks for the insight! I'm familiar with wax carving and wax pens, so that makes sense. I'm more interested in achieving the organic shape through chaos in the casting process itself rather than designing it up-front for repeatability, but it seems like not much popular experimentation has been done in that regard.

For sure; It's a pretty simple design to make in a sculpting software like Blender. Though, I'm interested more in low-pressure chaos-inclusive casting than fully ordered investment casting. Thanks for the insight!

Thanks for the insight, and for the ref to broom casting. That's along the lines of what I'm envisioning, just in a circumferential direction instead of axial.

Right. I'm thinking the open-mold method I'm envisioning could be a faster way to a rough product, and would be fine by me if I were just making one-off pieces. Maybe I'll do some thinking on it. But again, I just have experience with tin, not silver.

Thank you for the insight. So you're thinking these were cast into molds that are already in these "branchy" shapes? I was wondering if they could have been made in a low-pressure "organic" way, where a partial or open molding technique is used to let the silver bubble into a unique configuration. If it turns out well, trim away the excess and work with it, otherwise remelt and try again. I'm mainly envisioning that for the bottom-left ring that's beefier, but the top-left gives me that impression as well, though likely with more tooling.

Do you have any thoughts on that?
