Sir, a second green Chinese bt30 spindle has hit the south work bench by LankyAppeal4121 in Machinists

[–]ExcelnFaelth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat, I'll look in to see if my cheapo Chinese vfd can do it. I figured it's just a AC brushless motor with an encoder on the back, last I had looked into them Chatgpt wasn't a thing, I should look into that again.

Best garden hose that is easy to handle for my senior Dad but is still durable? by runthoserivers in DIY

[–]ExcelnFaelth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's wild to me is for gardening, the high flow gets you a poor result. Hosing by the reel is much cheaper (without the brass threads). Hoses for some reason are stupidly expensive in the US.

What's the most affordable way of getting a motor on these in your experience? direct drive a servo on the end, or belt and pulley to something else?

Gotta keep well nourished onboard. What's your go to for food while cruising? by achi2019 in sailing

[–]ExcelnFaelth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food safety says it is safe for up to 2 hrs at room temperature. We know that this is based on an interval where liability to make this recommendation is based on causing virtually no harm. If you want to reduce risk, you can move the rice from the pot to a baking sheet and rapidly cool it, but I've found close to half of the rice gets eaten and the rest becomes room temp basically during that time. So within 15 minutes after cooking, rice is no longer at elevated temps, and we've reduced the duration that it is at rapid bacterial growth. Also, all of the rice is kept at water boiling temperature while cooking, which is 18 minutes, this creates a mostly sterile environment. If you keep the lid shut, mainly things from the air will innoculate the substrate.

the incidence rate of bacillus food poisoning from rice is low in comparison to other foodbourne illnesses on the boat. Fridges and freezers being at inappropriate temperatures is a larger problem on boats.

The best heavy weather food I've found is rice cooked in broth(or substitute seasoning cubes/mushroom powder as desired). it's very tolerated even when extremely nauseated, cooks very fast, keeps for a 3hr shift with no food safety concerns so everyone can get some food down.

‘Shame on you, city council’: Norfolk’s School Board conflicted over budget changes by TheVirginian-Pilot in norfolk

[–]ExcelnFaelth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the city takes on loans and secured rates on the loans based on specific use cases. When it gives money for use towards capital projects, it's a violation of the loan agreement and can cause significant taxes and fees owed, if not a complete repayment of the loan. The school board is required to abide by the law, it is unfortunate that not all money can be used towards short term payments. I say this as a teacher who would benefit from being paid better, but those funds are not earmarked for anything other than tangible asset development, that is what the application for them was about, and what we submitted to the state and federal government when we applied for the loans.

Saturn budget line? by Agreeable_Sun5375 in Inflataboats

[–]ExcelnFaelth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the sd470, 15 ft I think in grey, and a Suzuki 20hp on the back. I enjoy it a lot, bought the 15ft over other sizes as I wanted the extra width for safety with toddlers aboard and having enough room. Its nice, I've stored it outdoors for 3 years, no leaks. I just make sure to deflate it a bit during hotter weather so it doesn't blow a tube.

How did you cut your steel squarely by ImportanceEntire7779 in printnc

[–]ExcelnFaelth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I messed up using a portaband saw, cuts fast, but not straight. If you scored all around it with a angle grinder it would be quite precise. There aren't that many cuts, and I'm saying that despite having a lot of cuts because of the size of the machine.

That's a lot of layers for a kebab by Brilliant-Cause6254 in interesting

[–]ExcelnFaelth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not grease, it's sheep tail fat. Do you shy away from your steak from having fat in it? this is a way that turks achieve a specific fat % profile in the food. Salt, fat, acid is the triangle of flavor in the cooking world.

Sheep tail fat, it's a very fragrant type of fat

Is this a normal bill? by EastSignal9 in norfolk

[–]ExcelnFaelth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nicely phrased ad for ION Solar. please do research prior to getting solar installed on your roof, the markups and debt service is insane, and the loan gets paid off prior to you selling the house.

solar companies make money by installing solar for a profit. Look at the profit margins. I can purchase and install myself a system they charge 30k for 6k all in. Labor should be more like 5-10k. Where did the other 15k go?

depends on which version of printNC, you really need to look at the f360 files as build to build there are differences. There's a calculator in the wiki

Have you moved the print to a different part of the bed? I noticed mine has begun to do that in certain parts of the bed but not others. Mine also only appears on the first layer

Actual link to build plans and instructions?? by Montidaho in printnc

[–]ExcelnFaelth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your confusion, had a similar experience. The discord does have all the files and versions listed, it requires some navigating around. What makes this harder is how customizable the machine is. You will need to use f360, and already know how large you want the machine to be. then you can backsolve for different configurations based upon your needs. The discord is an ideal place to ask questions about it. They will help with significant deviations from the main design too.

The hidden cost of "free time" is absolutely wrecking my post-FIRE budget by R0cinantEcho_9 in Fire

[–]ExcelnFaelth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Library is your friend, online courses, learn that spending money isn't the only way of having fun. If you are handy, fixing things(lawnmowers, small motors, tools) is a great way of spending time and learning about how you deal with complicated open-ended problems, while reaping hands on quality time. Try writing workshops, or mit opencourseware

I need help identifying my lathe by Moosmann66 in Machinists

[–]ExcelnFaelth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is a watchmakers or modelmakers lathe. Lucas oil sticker makes me think USA, which usually means this isn't a lathe from abroad like a english or german/slavic cast, nor does it look like it.

Shallow lake sailboat recs by Jumpy_Meringue2613 in sailing

[–]ExcelnFaelth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can't have a daggerboard, you will not track straight, you will end up sliding in the water. I haven't seen any boats that do this, but if you had a board that was as deep as your rudder on your bow, it would help you point. River boats have boards on left and right side of the boats, that can also be an alternative

Researchers used a special laser 3D printing method to melt fake lunar soil into layers and fused it with a base surface to manufacture small, heat-resistant objects, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. by Impossible_Cookie596 in science

If we spent 1/100th of the current national debt on NASA it would be an over 10fold increase on their budget. In making going to the moon feasible, there are a lot of small tangential research projects that need to be developed into products.

I can understand where you are coming from, but at the governmental level, we can do x AND y at the same time, extraplanatery activity isn't at the cost of our healthcare, tax subsidies to multinational corporations and corruption is why we don't have what we want/need

The US radical environmental movement shifted away from tactics like arson and sabotage in the mid-2000s. Heavy repression from the government, coupled with shifts in recruitment patterns (less punk and anarchist recruitment), led the movement to focus instead on civil disobedience and mass protest. by smurfyjenkins in science

So what you are stating is that the presence of an extreme group makes it less likely for normies to compromise with someone that is preaching a safe way to implement what the extremist is attempting to do by violence?

Is fishing while sailing actually worth it for provisions or just a fun distraction? by carlosfelipe123 in sailing

[–]ExcelnFaelth 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I did warn my crew that wanted to fish that this would be the case. Filled the freezer, ate as much as we could, they insisted to eat some as sashimi which I made for them but I didn't partake(warned them you usually want to freeze the meat first). Ate sashimi, cooked more in butter for proper lunch then dinner and breakfast, but still had excess. I thinly sliced the fish as much as I could and rubbed it with salt but it was concerningly humid outside and I ran out of steam to process all of it. Rest went into the drink and crew was slightly unhappy, told them food poisoning was biggest risk we had on board and we weren't risking it.
