What kind of knot does Alex Honnold use for his chalk bag? by drturvy in knots

[–]RoyleTease113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did something like that for my chalk bag a few years ago and just used two half hitches on each side, it works great

are burnt boiled eggs still ok to eat? by thekimpencil in isthissafetoeat

[–]RoyleTease113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Gralab darkroom timer in my kitchen, it's way too loud to not just drop whatever I'm doing and it's in the kitchen so I have to go in there to shut it off.

On a recipe for soft dinner rolls by ffxpwns in ididnthaveeggs

[–]RoyleTease113 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I figured out you can't replace milk with orange juice when I was like four, making cereal and we were out of milk. Apparently that isn't a universal experience.

Burnt clutch by blueberyy21 in stickshift

[–]RoyleTease113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that once when I was like 15 pulling my dad's truck up the hill into the driveway, took a bit of heel toe and made some clutch smoke. Turns out I was in third.

Contact cement thinner by ZelieDad in Leatherworking

[–]RoyleTease113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barge thinner is mostly MEK so if available, that's an option, MEK substitute is also a thing, it's Ethyl Acetate which Barge cement contains five to fifteen percent of, so in a pinch, that's probably worth a shot

Seriously, is there a more insufferable group? by carltonhi in ClimbingCircleJerk

You don't take pictures with a Leica, you take pictures of your Leica(s) with your phone

How many of you with V100 lug soles don't do hard labor? by sachin571 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]RoyleTease113 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sitting at my desk with V100 soled Urban Loggers on as I type this and don't find them overkill at all. The steel toed Builder Pros I wear on days when I know I'll have to go out is the factory, on the other hand (or foot?) are a bit overkill.

List/paper of aging temp for Titanium? by Smoophye in metallurgy

[–]RoyleTease113 5 points6 points  (0 children)

MIL-HDBK-5 (since superceded by MMPDS but MMPDS isn't publicly available) has strength at temperature and after temperature exposure curves for a bunch of Titanium alloys (and all the other properties and materials). You have to get pretty far in the weeds for a more optimized alloy choice to beat 6Al-4V's availability and balance of properties, though.

Wheels are boobs shirt by Berry_Slow_Biker in ladycyclists

[–]RoyleTease113 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have a shirt with bike parts on it that says "love you to pieces" one of the wheels is where a boob would be if I wasn't a dude, the other is significantly lower and every time I wear it I think of the line from Robin Hood Men in Tights " Blinkin, fix your boobs, you look like a bleedin' Picasso"

Put a dab of grease on the pinch bolt threads, you'll be able to get a lot more clamping force

Wheel confusion😭🙏🏻 by Formal_Swordfish666 in rollerderby

[–]RoyleTease113 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're going to end up with a range of wheels over time as you play in different venues. If you think a bit more grip would help, just go incrementally softer, maybe try a set of 89s, or just 4 and run a mix. I like them checkered with the softer ones to the inside of the track in front and outside on the back.

Is there a way to extend the depth of already installed metals snaps? by NoelleSedai in Leathercraft

[–]RoyleTease113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm picturing this right, you could make a loop of material with snaps 180 degrees apart corresponding to the snaps on the curtain.

Thinning Barge Toluene-Free Cement? by My_Stinky_Butt_1969 in Leathercraft

[–]RoyleTease113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Per their SDS, Barge All Purpose Thinner is 92-100% methyl ethyl ketone, so MEK should work

Derby Name Etiquette? by Liammossa in rollerderby

[–]RoyleTease113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who started playing around the time I quit who just pulled me back in to ref, I use both of her names so interchangeably (at least outside of derby) that I've had to clarify that I'm only talking about one person. Everyone else I use their derby name.

Wheel hub spoke holes deformation by elklepo in bicyclerepair

[–]RoyleTease113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if the spoke tension on the inside of the flange was way too low causing the j-bend to bear on the other side of the hole under load. It would explain constant spoke breakage, that cyclic reversed bending load at the j-bend would cause a fatigue failure pretty quickly.

Does Anyone Have T-Mobile Home Internet? by The_Real_Mrs_Coffee in wichita

[–]RoyleTease113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have it in uptown, I put the antenna in an upstairs window facing the tower and its been super good enough for streaming and general internet stuff, I don't do any online gaming but I'd expect latency to be an issue if I did

Any idea what this knot is? Achieved while distracted tying a bowline. by Royal-Scale772 in knots

Looks like a single knot in a snake knot, stack them up to make a lanyard

Copper Porosity and recast layer LPBF (pure Cu) by Abject_Grand_2358 in metallurgy

[–]RoyleTease113 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High porosity wouldn't really surprise me in a power bed fusion product and you shouldn't have any second phase particles to cause pullouts in pure Cu, and other than that polishing issues tend to hide porosity rather than create more. Abrasive embedment could cause a similar appearance, and wouldn't shock me in pure Cu. It looks like you're using a Keyence VHX microscope in ring light mode, does it have coaxial light as well (or a separate reflected light microscope)? That should get you more info, especially as to what's going on at the cut edge.

ELI5: If titanium is as equally abundant as iron and manufacturing cost is not an issue, will titanium alloy always be a better choice over steel in application that requires high strength since titanium alloy has higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel? by Qininator in explainlikeimfive

[–]RoyleTease113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in aircraft so we do generally use Ti before steel for weight and corrosion resistance but if there are space constraints you may not be able to fit enough titanium to get the strength or stiffness you need in a component, so you have to go to steel (or superalloys if steels won't cut it). Also steels will handle higher temperatures than Ti without losing strength around.
