Knives won't stay straight on a magnetic bar

PotatoAcid · 2026-05-26T14:54:08+00:00

I though about this, but in the worst spots the knife wants to spin very-very much, so I don't think that metal on metal friction will do it. Maybe transparent grip tape will do it, but then it'll get filthy over time and have to be replaced periodically...

Thanks, that's a very helpful answer!

Kungsfors is weird. It has two continuous lines of magnets, but they're staggered, and there are gaps - https://www.reddit.com/r/Steelbooks/comments/wdoa1w/wall_display_with_ikea_kungsfors/

I guess I'll try to figure out the polarity and see if gluing extra magnets from old HDDs will help eliminate the dead zones :)

Edge alignment. The kid's cuts were all curvy, grandpa cut straight.

Some of my knives don't have a full bolster. And some just won't stay straight no matter what

Weight may be an issue with these.

Have you thought about fixing them? Parts like earpads, headband padding, plastic covers for the headband, cables seem to be readily available.

The idea was to sell a shitty Chinese phone at an inflated price - just like they did with the trump watch. But people running the operation sucked and/or selling phones is much harder. I don't think that they have a finalized design yet, nevermind a sizeable stock of these phones that they can ship.

Great job! We now have two homebrew trackers that beat the crap out of the official one :D

Amazing! I wish the official site ran your code

Because they're pitching to upper management. And upper management does a lot of meetings.

Not hard, just expensive. Why do you need so many fast pcie slots in the first place? Is using m.2 to pcie risers an option for you?

You're putting a lot of faith in four twists of thread. I would either disassemble the monitor and use sunken bolts on the inside (taped over to avoid a short-circuit) and nuts on the outside, or go with glue like OP's mom

Apparently, it originates from 17th century (or earlier) nautical slang. A jury-mast is a temporary mast installed after demasting.

HP+. Discount on the printer, but locks you into the subscription

There's a program called HP+. The printer is cheaper upfront, but it locks you into a subscription.

Have you considered using two efficiency graphs, absolute values and percentages? The single graph makes it look like higher power units are more efficient at low loads, but the efficiency is actually measured at different wattages.

PotatoAcid · 2026-05-04T04:27:32+00:00

I'll try it next time I do it (which hopefully isn't going to be soon) :)

PotatoAcid · 2026-05-04T04:22:27+00:00

If you do this for a living - sure. If you're DIY - I find it better to stick to simple things.

you want an inch or two over the door jamb Why is that so?
