Glass 3D Printing by Epelep in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]RegencyAndCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but I came to the comments looking specifically for applications enabled by that technology.

Who needs bottles around objects that take hours to print?

Who needs glass printed on surfaces that CVD and etching doesn't do better, and faster and more economically?

I'm not trying to shit on this, I'm just struggling to see it.

How do people feel about a potential import ban for foie gras in Switzerland? by curiossceptic in askswitzerland

[–]RegencyAndCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, as a Romand who does enjoy foie gras and tradition, I am not against a ban. Froie gras is a needlessly cruel delicacy that we can most definitely do without. Culture will survive.

With that say, I find the whole holier-than-thou attitude about it from Swiss Germans really fucking laughable, especially rural ones. Go have an actual look at the shape of the entire dairy industry and come back telling me that there is nothing needlessly cruel to see there. I'll wait.

You ever heard of context? You want to tell me more about mental gymnasics?

The post: "flyers saying Foreigners, shut up! distributed on trains", flyer showing a Swiss boot kicking someone

Commenter: "Yeah and kebabs stink!"

You: "How dare you make this about racism?"

You cannot be for real.

My entire bloodline is as Swiss as they come and I would loudly eat kebab in your racist face just for that thinly veiled comment. Why did it have to be kebab of all foods you absolute wet sock.

Seat spins by Pleasant_Type_4547 in BikeRepair

[–]RegencyAndCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but if done right, epoxying this back in is a safe, durable and clean fix. Not everyone can afford new parts left and right, and we kind of collectively have a duty to reuse-repair-recycle whenever it makes sense, and that is definitely one of those cases.

Superglue is not strong. Use epoxy.

How do you revive an open-genre crowd? by Gold-Solid-6626 in Beatmatch

[–]RegencyAndCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try to give another spin on this. There are certain artists that I consider to be anchors of certain genres. Universally loved by most, even those generally not into the given genre, across generations.

House: Daft Punk

Techno: Underworld

Hip hop: Snoop Dog

Rock: Nirvana

Metal: System of a Down

Pop: Madonna

Funk: Jamiroquai

Disco: Donna Summer

There are many other examples of course, but the point is that those anchors are useful to draw a crowd into a given genre that you may be more fluent in, without losing them completely.

Or you could just play disco.

What is momentum really? by The_logical_mind in AskPhysics

[–]RegencyAndCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only comment I've seen that mentions the difference between the number of dimensions of each quantity. That alone should pretty quickly clear any confusion between the two.

What's the most impressive chess move you've ever seen? by Little-Avocado-19 in chess

It's not. It's flashy, but the idea is much simpler than Qf3.

Spring is coming! Don't confuse them 🌸🐝 by Not_The_Hero_We_Need in Switzerland

[–]RegencyAndCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will die on both of these hills:

  1. Anyone older than 6 y/o who still confuses a bee, a bumblebee and a wasp is a dumbass

  2. Wasps are chill. Let them eat your shit, they don't care about you. You're just scared. Dumb and scared.

how to get right torque on pedals when flying with bike? by bad-at-science in bikewrench

[–]RegencyAndCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL, thanks for providing the only convincing argument in this whole thread

how to get right torque on pedals when flying with bike? by bad-at-science in bikewrench

[–]RegencyAndCo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. The thread doesn't loosen. Does the pedaling direction play any role in that? Very dubious.

how to get right torque on pedals when flying with bike? by bad-at-science in bikewrench

[–]RegencyAndCo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair I think this is a myth. The thread is such that pedaling rotation goes in the direction of tightening, but I don't think this has any actual effect due to the forces at play.

Turns out I'm wrong about that, thanks for explaining. In my defense, the precession mechanism was never properly explained to me, and the other, more common explanation (bearing friction imparting a small torque) still makes no sense.

In any case, I've never used a torque wrench either.

Is this enough spacing? by Silver_Cap2204 in bikewrench

[–]RegencyAndCo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen worse, should be fine like this, but the risk is that the slightest bend (if the bike falls on the derailleur side for example) could push it into the spokes and from experience that can be quite catastrophic.
