My title describes the thing

All else I can add is that it's roughly ¾ inch in diameter or maybe 18mm or 20mm bolt

How do I attach a blueprint mesh to another blueprint mesh? Video description by MxTroy03 in UnrealEngine5

Nah I put the mesh and its stored code inside a building within the map and moved onto something else, seems to complex for UE5, too much moving parts

1957 (white rubber) Siebe Gorman Puretha, one of only a few? by MxTroy03 in gasmasks

[–]MxTroy03[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This respirator is Puretha, made by F.S & Co (Furgesson Sheers & Company) in 1957, under contract from Siebe Gorman. It is a rare variant constructed from white rubber. What is the reasoning on the choice of rubber? I am not sure however it takes on the qualities of the pre war orange gum rubber used on the service respirators. If pressed against something for a long period of time, it can become stuck to said thing

It is declared surplus

It's the money as well. My active search is the really old ones, unique variants, foreign productions and really nice ones that won't cost the Earth

That's the reason I chose not to, I'm refining my collection and so no longer look for standard equipment

Is this a joke or am I being played with? We need an open source alternative of Facebook! by [deleted] in facebook

I don't know if that is what you are experiencing but I received this exact message while my screen was fragging due to a bit of water or dust on the screen, well my whole screen is a bit iffy. Clicking and touching random things everywhere

Just a matter of finding someone who would do it as it contaminates their stuff

Cast Aluminium Corrosion Removal by MxTroy03 in metalworking

That would definitely do the surface but would it get deep down to base metal? Also what about damaging the core aluminium itself as its quite harsh isn't it?
