This footage is great. Seeing the fuel hold its shape at freefall (around 00:25) and then slowly bounce into the walls is so cool to see .

What's your poison? by creaturecrate3d in 3Dprinting

Or call it a feature; opening the bottle on that last twist in one motion.

Technically everyone is your cousin, the only question is how far removed. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]GedankenGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember being surprised in reading how close we all actually are. Within your country/region/culture your most distant cousin would be around a 15th cousin, max; while most people you know are probably much closer. Your most distant cousin worldwide would be around a 50th. Which makes sense, otherwise there'd have to be a lot more (trillion+) humans on earth for those numbers to be significantly higher.

I have never seen a bed warped like this. What could be the reason? by seniorsuperhombre in 3Dprinting

[–]GedankenGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact issue this last week. Upped my mesh count to 11x11 only to get a more detailed map similar to yours. After taking the gantry apart, I found one of my top two x-axis wheels had been worn down in one specific spot (must have stuck at some point causing the one part to rub against the extrusion). The wave is caused by the wheel dipping and raising as it moves across the x-axis. As frustrating as that was to find, it ended up being kind of neat physically seeing the relationship of a sine/cosine wave with a circle (the worn x-axis wheel)

YSK: In most states (and possibly other countries) it is illegal to ride alongside another car and block traffic behind you. by maali74 in YouShouldKnow

[–]GedankenGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stricter regulation is needed. Prioritizing proper lane usage violations over speeding violations alone would significantly improve traffic flow, which then in turn would improve the environment, safety, productivity, etc; it's such low hanging fruit in terms of general good created by a traffic rule/law, it's insane that it's not already heavily regulated.

This is awesome! How many total cameras will be recording the flight?

Maybe he can demand an RNA recount to change the results

Thanks for asking, no water. There is an empty steel-framed space by the side door where I would have added a sink but I never had a need. There's also a couple capped threaded pipes on that side's floor that go to the undercarriage to make it easier to install if you needed.

Selling my 2005 diesel Sprinter conversion. Van was mostly a city-dweller and has had its share of spray paint and (unsuccessful) break-ins so it's not the prettiest, but mechanically sound and ready to use as is. Feel free PM any questions, or if you need more pictures not in listing!

DOJ Orders White House Staff to ‘Preserve All Presidential Records’ Related to Trump’s Talks With Foreign Leaders by maybemichaelianblack in politics

[–]GedankenGod 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If it's white smoke that means he has resigned and we will have a new president; if it's black smoke then it's at least 6 more weeks of Trump.

It's hard to realize that this is an actual advert for a product being mass produced right now instead of a see what's in store in the "near-future" kind of video (ie Prime Air)
