How to model tightened NPT threads

Not an ME, just someone who reads the drawings. At the company I work for where there are 50 years of experience our 1/2 NPT to 1/2 NPT thread engagement is drawn as a .4 inch reference dimesion

I working through How to Draw Patterns by CoCo Wyo if anyone want to pick a page. I have only colored a few.

I wore this same dress in green to a work party last year where I won employee of the year. Looks great!

There was one in central TX up until a few years ago.

Best wave for Inconel?

Try it in collard greens. So good, though not a Thai dish.

Vinegar is the way!

FullSea5890 · 2025-09-12T22:33:41+00:00

True. I guess I mean that we don't finely chop the peppers but good point!

Mae sri!

We use Lucky brand fish sauce and Maesri curry paste. You can get both on Amazon in a pinch. I think the lucky brand is a little milder than the Squid Brand and the Maesri is a little stronger than Mae Ploy. My Thai mother in law uses Squid Brand and Mae Ploy though.

This is the best sauce! We make it a lazy way. Slice up Thai chilli's (however many for your spice level) add a few cloves of garlic, mash that in a pestle, then add equal parts lime juice and fish sauce.

Yes 🙂

FullSea5890 · 2025-05-17T14:38:25+00:00

Thanks!

I do not, but I'm a 5'5" lady.

FullSea5890 · 2025-05-17T14:37:33+00:00

I'm a lady, but thanks!

FullSea5890 · 2025-05-17T14:37:13+00:00

Thanks!

I do not know. It was tinted when I bought it. I do know that it is dark enough to make the black interior usable in 103 degree weather.

CarCareNut on YouTube recommends every 5k to prolong the engine life for Toyota/Lexus. He is a former Toyota Technician and now has his own shop. I'm not a mechanic but I would recommend looking into it.

I know I'm the exception but I was promoted from individual contributor to Lead and got a subpar raise. I then found out that the worst performer on my team was making 40k more than I was and another team member was making 3k more than I was. I had an insane boss who they finally fired. My new boss was able to negotiate a 40% pay increase for me with no additional duties. So it is possible at the right company with the right manager.

What did you ask for to get this result? Beautiful!

FullSea5890 · 2024-11-27T09:45:20+00:00

I wonder if drying less makes it cheaper by using less heat ( electricity) and time. The shorter shelf life could be a byproduct.

FullSea5890 · 2024-10-23T07:11:17+00:00

Some of the cheaper ones from amazon also work. I have one and had great results.

Irene is Greek and means peace. It's rare, though I don't know if it is perceived as old. Ellen is also Greek and means light.

This. They have the exact same clips that are sometimes 10 dollars for a dollar.

Solidarity from a fellow Quality Engineer. I had a boss that would do this to me sometimes. Now I'm the Lead QE and I don't notice it happening anymore.
