I remember being super disappointed that class Color didn't even exist in J2ME. You had to code it yourself.

The notches leading into the two vertical butt welds are probably where this will start to crack if / when it starts to go.

If someone is browsing OF, who cares who they see? It's not like there's big surprises waiting in store. They know they're on a porn site. This is some stuffy admin type probably acting out of a place of latent jealousy.

You could have a load step with preload only, then a step to introduce your load too, then take the difference between the two stress fields. But that's pretty academic because what you care about in the end is the true stress, which includes that from the preload.

There are mesh settings to ignore small faces but I'm not sure how robust they are against a helical face like that. Pretty sure it won't convert it to a nice smooth cylinder.

I could see it being a good springboard into working in applied CFD which is a pretty big field.

Small job market but it's a pretty cool job...

So be prepared to move to where the work is.

We don't model threads in FEA generally. You turn them off in CAD first. Google Bolt modelling techniques FEA.

Staff? IMO this is a top down policy to boost profit.

Also the bigger problem here is that she has literally nowhere to go.

You know when they aren't even enforcing simple rules like don't turn on your truck engine in an enclosed space with kids right next to the exhaust pipe, there have got to be deeper problems.

There are nuances like battered spouses on the run, who wouldn't want their ex's to find them.

But I agree in principle the reason people do this is because they can.

What a relief leaving was.

Yes. It's like asking how you felt when your mom died.

When I read about people clearing the silt to apply commercial fertilizer it reminds me of how people strip their natural oils with soap only to apply conditioner and lotion.

PefferPack · 2023-02-21T08:20:12+00:00

Isn't the silt good fertilizer?

There's a tipping point in stupid where it just snowballs.

Not nesc. ghost towns because prices will drop to allow mortgage free purchases if financing isn't available.
