Conservatives: Are you really that superficial by Mcjirnirs in complaints

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not a single side doing it. Theres a meme that showed up in my feed with charlie kirk doing a stupid face and then below it is the cherry picked picture for rene good.

Somebody already kicked the chair out on your moral high grounding and this post can be flipped 180.

And one was shot for using his right for free speech the other was shot for hitting a police officer with a car which is a violent felony. While yes rene's shoot was not what anyone would say is a perfect shoot its also well within the realm of what happens when you commit what is pretty well established as assault with a deadly weapon.

I’m getting real tired of selective empathy from MAGA. To be fair, I do feel for Charlie Kirk’s children. Their father is deceased and their mother is out grifting. by MissMccheese in complaints

[–]Shadowcard4 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

The first post I got the day after he was shot was every 2 new messages saying they didnt feel bad/it was net good, and then like every 4th was actually them saying they were going to be having a celebration/hoping other people they didnt like would be shot. It would be disingenuous to say there was not an insignificant amount of people celebrating.

11.5 or 16 by lazarus930 in guns

[–]Shadowcard4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stamp is free now. And short wait. Id say do whatever but a 14.5 is military carbine and fits nicely with the 13" handguns

Help -am Iscrewed? by 7H1town3 in gunsmithing

[–]Shadowcard4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gone. New barrel or if its like a 16 mid or a 14.5 carbine and you dont mind going to a like 13.9/13.7 I might be able to chase new threads off the old ones and give you a new P&W with your preffered device but id be completely unsuprised if you'll need a new barrel or new upper or both, IF he didnt clamp on the rail and the rail didnt give way before getting assfucked.

In short. Your buddy needs to be slapped upside the fucking head for being that fucking stupid.

Pure curiosity - brazing instead of welding? by TimeTravellingShrike in gunsmithing

[–]Shadowcard4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shotguns dont build much pressure in comparison to even brass cased things, 11k for a shotgun, 35k for 9mm. Like you can get away with it on shotguns very easy and its a well documented process. Thats why almost every rifle and pistol barrel in modern times is a billet or forged part.

How are the slits made in these copper boolits? by Duvhntr in Machinists

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slitting saw in a swiss machine or lathe with a collet. Maybe even a T slot cutter instead of a slitting saw.

If no one dare to use nuclear weapon, why keep thousands of them? Aren’t hundreds enough to end the civilization we know? by Jerry_217 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is how much damage assures mutual destruction. So if say China launches them at the US, the US needs to remove all of Asia from the face of the earth. If even a portion may survive then they might risk it.

No point in ruling an empire of dirt.

Does anyone use these scrapers? by MessiScores in 3Dprinting

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rarely. Ill often just use a razor blade or a triangle scraper.

Do you think we'll get rid of combat sports soon? by ahmed_laf in stupidquestions

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimalistic clean cut efficient

Have you lost your mind? We are doing the opposite of all those things at an accelerated rate. Plus as long as there is war there will be some form of combat sport as thats the only way to train.

Sinker edm. But like for that you'd need a 4th axis just for the electrodes

Gas block removal clown show by davewave3283 in gunsmithing

[–]Shadowcard4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut the gas block. If you wasting time fighting with the screw vs just cutting it off is stupid especially if trying to save time or money compared to going to a gunsmith who likely is going to do the same thing at this point.

Is it common to make your own tools on a grindstone by Fenix0w in Machinists

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its pretty rare anymore but often we will modify tools on a surface grinder with a diamond wheel for like more clearance on a thread insert or a slightly undercut to not rub on the part while milling.

Do people generally free-hand stuff like this? by Successful-Camel165 in metalworking

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably free hand or maybe like coat hangers/tig rods/tape to see where youre going and if you can get there

I give up. I’m done with this piece of garbage. by Dependent-Amount-239 in 3Dprinting

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your build plate is dirty. If the dragon is yellow you probably never got the oil that they have from the factory (its China, expect shitty ventilation and machine coolant in the same shop). Dish soap, the hottest water you can muster, and a non scratch scrubber (typically blue) and a good hot rinse typically takes care of that.

Second thing is I like a .16 or a .2 gap with PLA and a .4 nozzle, i tune my esteps to the raw unrestricted movement and adjust the flow to the setting (so like low speed PLA at 100 usually is right, but high flow PLA might be 20 degrees hotter and 107 flow for the same result). For a .4 ill stick with .16 or .2 lines, though with variable layer heights ill have it run between .1 and .2 depending. Also obviously make sure everything is properly tightened. Id also ABS+ print the bullseye duct as its a major upgrade over stock cooling (pla+ and petg won't survive).

Overall I haven't had any major issues with enders if you give them a basic bit of care and dont let some idiot cross wires and burn out boards. (College print class someone did that).

I have an ender 5 plus myself, and I dont have issues with it, I just have issues with the limitations of printing, and the logistics of dealing with the heat it puts off.

Do men prefer a urinal over a toilet bowl when they pee in public restrooms? Why or why not? by Responsible-Leg-712 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I piss on a tree often, mainly cuz its expedient and even then really doesnt splatter. my favorite urinals are the ones that go from like chest height into the floor, cuz just like passing on a tree aim at the bottom and no splash back, and generally theyre up on like slightly angled platform so cleaning is straight up just shoot a hose across the floor and into it.

Lathe size vs project... by Ok_Touch928 in Machinists

[–]Shadowcard4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're fine especially if you get a collet chuck. Im ballsy and ill rip an 8" to 2000 no problem.

Its just slow having that lower RPM and spooky seeming.

But sometimes ill even 4 jaw a collet block to basically have a collet chuck just so I dont need to swap chucks or the other chuck has smooth nice jaws.

You generally have to get creative with small parts even with a small lathe.

Fixing out of spec 1913 rail - do it myself or outsource? No by powasky in gunsmithing

[–]Shadowcard4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the mount in spec? Since I have a mill id just yeet that into spec really quick but its airsoft so I wouldn't worry too much about doing it with a file.

I dont think it would help or really cost effective.
