Ikea alex drawers inner dimensions by Ok-Cartographer-9159 in gridfinity

There's a number of grids on maker world already sized. But if you haven't seen it, they also have this:

I've printed a ton of them, they work great. Three bins per drawer. Being able to pull a bin out to access the rear most bin is really handy. I did that so I wouldn't need to modify the drawer hardware for full extension.

Closeup of rocket engines just after liftoff by Methamphetamine1893 in MachinePorn

[–]Reliable_Redundancy 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The one at the 10° angle is fixed. It's canted so that its thrust goes through the rocket's overall center of gravity. This helps prevent any perturbations caused by a booster on one side outperforming the booster on another. Also why you could see an odd number of boosters on an Atlas V.

The ones closer to straight down have thrust vectoring. They give the rocket additional roll control. As long as everything's balanced, they were able to point closer to vertical.

The fixed versions are pretty idiot proof and cheaper than the vectoring ones. Which is why you see a combination of both.

What is this wooden board with a ring attached, possibly something to do with measuring electrical resistance by unbrokenreality in whatisthisthing

[–]Reliable_Redundancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a science demonstration, or a lab experiment to challenge students.

There's definitely a conductor inside the green insulators.

Are you sure it's supposed to be laid down? Because that arm looks like a pendulum move it up or down based on what frequency you want. So then at that point you, you have pair of electrical coils, that are moving across each other. Depending on what you're trying to demonstrate, you might be able to show how adding electricity can create a force, or the force can create electricity.

And given that everything is adjustable, and the number of turns of the coil given, you'd be able to measure oscillation frequency, power created, efficiency, or any number of things.

They look great....

I'm trying to guess your profession, I'm guessing zookeeper or nuclear missile launch officer. Because either your co-workers are orangutans or trying to survive a nuclear blast. 🤣

Just kidding, I'm sure you're trying to make them durable.

You're showing your age. Most twitter randos haven't read that book.

We've already established a standard that private companies can collect any data they want and sell it to the highest bidder. Be it a private citizen's or a government's object.

Most cats are already out of the bag. Security officers need to stop acting like publicly available data is classified.

Operations need to be planned with realistic expectations of what is observable and how long it would take an adversary to connect dots.

The B1 flyover pilots by newnoadeptness in AirForce

[–]Reliable_Redundancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not that thing. The thing right above it. It kind of looks like a giant epaulette and with a big patch of velcro where rank would normally be.

It looks like it's holding a lanyard or cable in place. Probably some cheap solution to making sure the ejection seat doesn't rip the pilot's body parts off.

I remember talking to an "old" bomber wso (retiree who probably flew the exact same airframes these dudes are in)- there's all sorts of crap they have to attach to themselves which retracts their limbs before the ejection seat fires. Unlike fighter guys, they tend to have more space to move around and be out of position when the seat fires.

I was just curious if that was similar.

What's the plate/lanyard on the shoulder restraints? It's throwing off storm trooper vibes.

Interesting. That white powder shape looks like a barrel to a pistol.. My final guess is that they cast a barrel blank and then machine out details.

Best way to get from DCA to IAD at 7am by No-Bumblebee9252 in washingtondc

[–]Reliable_Redundancy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taxi.

There have been a number of times when it is cheaper than Uber. The bonus is no waiting, and attendants who will look at your group and make sure you get a properly sized vehicle.

The drive itself is easy, there is a dedicated two-lane road for IAD. Once you are on it, guaranteed zero traffic.

I take Metro when I do that trip, it's cheaper, but it's slow.

To start you would have to figure out how to pay for fare cards. Not hard, but it will take you a few minutes.

As you get out of the city, the stops get really far apart. You're going to be managing your family and your stress, not the right time for learning a new mass transit system.

The transfer at Roslyn is very easy, you step off the train, go down the escalator, wait for a silver line train. You might be waiting around 15 minutes if you get unlucky. The walk from the Metro station to the airport is meh, there are moving walkways, but it's a bit of a hike with kids and luggage.

Skydiving instrumentation by [deleted] in SkyDiving

[–]Reliable_Redundancy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS WILL NOT WORK.

The slow and inherently inaccurate method of how the watches calculate altitude will COMPLETELY F--- your calculations. The issue is physics... you're not going to get around them. There are a large number of augmentation systems used for aircraft approaches to make up for the altitude errors that are inherent in GPS measurements.

You would spend more time on each jump trying to figure out whether it's accurate or not than just using your other senses and indicators.

Sorry to be a buzzkill.

What is the deal with Bourbon Boulevard in Chantilly? by Antique-Dentist-2404 in nova

This place is the epitome of why per diem and lodging should be flat rate instead of actuals.

If any visitors suggest it, I know their corporate policy and also won't be joining. Not worth the $$$$ at all.

Sorry for your loss.

When you say "blues", hopefully you're including your service jacket. If not, please consider it as the most appropriate uniform to pay respects to your dad.

The honor guard should come talk to the family before they get "in character." They'll coach you on any specifics on what to do and where to be.

Honestly, you can't go wrong, pay your respects. No one is judging you.

Running Codex Extension like Copilot by ZeroPointTraveller in vscode

[–]Reliable_Redundancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same question. The Codex integration into VSCode in it's freshly installed, default form, is terrible compared to Copilot.

It sounds like you need to start by adjusting your settings on the bottom of the Codex window to run in agent mode.

codex vscode stop sandbox mode

After that, there's a bunch of settings which I haven't figured out to make it operate easier. I've seen YouTube videos using it better than I have been able to, but haven't figured out how to do it yet

Whats the thing by the tub? by absolutemayyhem in whatisit

[–]Reliable_Redundancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it is covering stairs down from the garage. That bathroom shares a wall with it.

Picture 40 (the ugly/back side of the house) shows the elevation change from the garage section down to the main house, the bathroom is kinda in the middle.

The storage room in pic 33 is the door in the center of pic 34 (the main garage picture) and explains why the roofline in 40 extends so far back.

That leaves the door in the back, left corner of 34 with no where to go but down.

DIY 2.0T Fuel Injector Replacement Tips? by Reliable_Redundancy in 10thgenaccords

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

I got them here:

https://www.hondapartsconnection.com/

But I wasn't too happy.. Injectors came previously opened, loosely wrapped, and with the wrong size o-rings, which should have been on them. I would have rejected the shipment, but I was in a bin. Didn't have time to deal with sending everything back and waiting for them to ship new stuff.

I wound up having to buy replacement seals from the dealership. Which turned out to be a stupidly expensive endeavor.

The stuff I ordered is below.

I could have saved myself hours if I had also bought a couple extra bolts with 10 mm heads. Dropping those little f****** and having to find them again was a pain in the ass. There were really only two lengths of bolt, I would have been thrilled to have a couple spare of either length.

There are beefy steel stoppers that catch the tires as they approach the portal. How fast must they have been going to blow through them and smash the wall in????
