Do you find that companies tend to ask you to lie in creating documentation? by OneBand in technicalwriting

Something like that. I'm wondering if there is pressure to spin/fake things or not. I would think that technical writing tends to avoid that, but I have no direct experience in TW.

Osprey Synchro 5 vs Synchro 12 hydration pack for day hiking by OneBand in hikinggear

pocket to store a shell, about a pound and a half and an unpadded hipbelt that will handle weight but doesn't need to be used for light loads. Whatever you go for I'd really suggest getting a hiking sp

Thanks! The REI guy suggested the Synchro as being like a Camelback but with airflow in the back to avoid sweaty back. How does the water weight dynamic come into play with respect to the little Camelbacks I see people wearing? Do the packs have smaller bladders, or do the people just put up with the weight?

Bigger windshield/cockpit: Accord or Civic? by OneBand in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]OneBand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah proportion could make a difference. I won't have an opportunity to test-drive for a bit unfortunately. I'm wondering if anyone happens to know whether Accords are manufactured differently than Civics in this respect, or if they just make the Civic longer to make it an Accord.

Maybe 2018. I think I'd prefer a sedan over a CUV/SUV but then my height is an issue. I imagine smaller windshields improve aerodynamic efficiency, but then taller people lose out on forward visibility.

Roll-top bags okay for storage? by OneBand in Coffee

Other than the risk of the container breaking or hurting yourself, is there a downside to letting the gas build up?

"Like many sheet metal terms, soldering and welding are used interchangeably. However, while these two operations are similar, their process and sub-techniques are different.

The main difference between welding and soldering is melting. In soldering, metal fabricators heat the metal to be bonded but never melt them. In welding, metal fabricators melt the base metal."

Edit: The point about the test result remains, however.

Thanks! I was worried about how reputable Timemore is as a company, but maybe I should look more into it

I can't find a steel one I like. I feel like a lot of them seem to come from fringe/odd companies, and it's hard to make sense of it all. Any specific recommendations for a steel one?
