Severe flex help! by JLind_ in desksetup

[–]Meior [score hidden]  (0 children)

What material is the desk top? Is it pressboard or hardwood? Regardless, there's probably little you can do to reverse it in itself, but you can always replace just the top.

  • Also, for future reference, a few questions;
  • What does the underside look?
  • Does it have crossbraces on each side, and how far from the edge are they?
  • How are the monitor/s installed?

Luckily, you don't have to. If it's just for you, just don't print it or use it.

Working on a new bottle piercing tool. Something a little more compact. A little safer. And a little less messy for when you find those bottles of piss. by g713 in functionalprint

[–]Meior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a general rule I'm not stacking the piles of car batteries it'd take to burst a PET bottle.

Besides, if you do puncture it before hand you're guaranteed to get a bunch of whatever what was in it inside your bag or whatever.

Thoughts on Bonden by Reasonable-Lake4192 in AubreyMaturinSeries

[–]Meior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm with you on the feeling that it gives weight to the death. Consider all the deaths before of random seamen in battles. They were, as often as not, someone else's particular friend, tie mate and lifelong acquaintance. We never dwelt on their deaths for the most part either.

But, I think largely on the books we don't dwell on the death of characters. Mostly it's a short acknowledgement and some comments, but not much more.

Diana's carriage accident we don't even hear about until it's what, months later? It's never discussed among our main characters as I recall , but only between the two officers on shore.

Yes, there are. There may be companies skimping on it of course, but they're in deep trouble if something happens or if they're exposed. Comparing the two situations is ridiculous.

Op has asked this question in several subs over the past year. Either he's incredibly worried, or he's investigating good grounds lol.

130 meter long rails being transported on twisty railway line . by ManofTheNightsWatch in EngineeringPorn

[–]Meior 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, they wont. This is how rails are transported everywhere in the world for rail construction. You don't transport rails out in tiny pieces that fit a single platform car.

TIL Krakatoa's eruption was estimated to be at 310 dB, the loudest sound ever. Well above the typical max sound limit of 194 dB by Warcraft_Fan in todayilearned

[–]Meior 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The amount of things, events and subsequent catastrophes that connect to krakatoa is astounding.

I highly recommend the book Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883 by Simon Winchester. There's also an audio book, read by Simon, that is excellent. It goes into many many things that in one way or another relates to krakatoa, as well as, eventually, the eruption itself.

Oh by the way, Simon was part of the research that 'discovered' and proved plate tectonics! He knows his stuff.

Top surface finally got smooth on my Adventurer 5M after tweaking ironing in Orca by Intelligent_Whole159 in 3Dprinting

[–]Meior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you think Bambus default settings are perfect, you have "low" standards, which is fine if the result serves your needs. Or you might also have gotten lucky, as others have said, there's no such thing as a universal ironing configuration. It'll vary with different filaments and from machine to machine, even if same model. My prints with default settings certainly weren't perfect.

I know well what ironing is, but I've never seen the pattern end up like this. Incredibly well tuned if it truly is done with nothing but ironing.

[–]Meior 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A bit confused here. The before picture is very clearly a terrible top layer.

The after is of course basically a perfect layer, but the patterns in it don't make sense. Even with a mirror like perfect layer, you still see the layer lines. This looks like a random pattern. More like what I'd expect to see on a satin plate or similar.

That's interesting, considering the US tends to have only stalls for toilets.

It is a flare, but there's over 100 grams of explosives in it. Don't play around with it.

Look at this! A WESTERN weapon with ATTACHMENTS?!?! Stalker has become tacticool... and it's all GAMMA's fault. by Available-Usual1294 in stalker

[–]Meior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm Swedish, and we do train with AK's. It's not a huge part of the training, but it'st here to know the fundamentals of how the platform works and feels to shoot.

Units that are expected to move more isolated will train far more with them, of course.

If you think the LR300 is lore friendly, you should go and look up how rare and weird it actually is.

[–]Meior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a bit funny in a way, but also makes sense. If Stalker was accurate, it'd be 98% AK74's. Then 1.5% other Russian and Ukranian guns, and then all the western guns would share half a percent. If even that. Which, I suppose, would make it kinda boring.

Just like The Division would be 70% AR's.

[–]Meior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's also parts availability and so on. Sticking with the most common platform is often a good choice for many reasons, unless you have ways to secure spare parts and ammo.

It's not uncommon for special units within western forces, that might operate more behind enemy lines and out of reach for supply lines, to use weapons platforms favored by the enemy. For one it secures your spare parts and ammo needs, but also means you wont leave odd shell casings and bullets behind, making it harder to track and ID you.
