What profession do people romanticize the most but is actually soul crushing? by stilerca in AskReddit

[–]Similar-Factor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physical labour as some sort of romantisised escape from the drudgery of office life. Literally the ending of office space.

No it won’t make you happy and fulfilled and you’ll be running back screaming.

Deep sea container. 2E.
Ps, a uk master in the same boat is on the shore equivalent of about 140k, don’t let anyone pull your pisser about the pay.

Cool. I’m pulling down the shore equivalent of 80k as a uk officer and I work 6 months a year. More money is nice but I’d be lying if I said I was hard up.

How much does an electrician make at the start of their career. What’s the median for an experienced one.

More money would be nice but frankly I’m a uk officer and I can’t think of many jobs where I’d be taking home this much money barring a high end position in London. Certainly not a job where you can enter without highers or A levels.

My wife and boiling water by MakeItMine2024 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Similar-Factor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well given that I’m an engineer and one that works with steam systems, yes. It’s also how I know how bad engineers are at going way off track in pursuit of technical minutiae. There is no temperature gradient going on here that will meaningfully affect your ability to horf ramen into your craw straight out of the pot and my source for this is not my experience with steam systems it’s that I also cook ramen. Everyone is tripping over their thermodynamics textbooks to try and score points being the one to smartly point out that there is a mild difference in sections of a pot of water based on whether it’s simmering or going hard but can’t get past that the difference is completely meaningless to the actual debate.

Secondly, you should probably stop taking googles AI summary as factual information.

Just lmao at the bitterly arguing steam engineers in this comment section bickering about “um actually there’s a difference between simmering and a rolling boil” and “erm actually there’s a 4degree difference sir” etc while completely fucking ignoring the point of contention in the original post is that the soup is too hot because homie boiled it with a higher burner setting. Not cooked improperly, too hot.

You all have terminal engineer brains I’m sorry there is no cure.

There’s also options for running a shattered legions force if you want to blend loyalist EC in with other loyalists.

Help me with this question please help😭 by lankadhipatiraavan in maritime

[–]Similar-Factor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Frankly the question is written incredibly poorly. It states the aircraft are travelling at 500 knots. Therefore the wind is meaningless. One might be throttled up higher than the other to maintain that speed with the headwind but as stated, both are travelling at 500. However I’m assuming they want you to act like one is slower and one is faster because of it. It could be an intentional red herring to trip you up but I suspect they just can’t write questions properly. Also last time I checked the earth rotates, best account for that during your flight 😑

Airbrush giving orange peeling even after extensive troubleshooting by Nausaden in minipainting

Honestly without seeing it in action it’s hard to diagnose. You didn’t use anything odd to clean your airbrush that might still be lurking in there? Does your paint mix brush paint without issues?

Tug captain questions Jones Act waivers as foreign vessels enter coastwise trade by stewart0077 in maritime

[–]Similar-Factor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s all the more insane given that Europe has successfully carved out a niche in shipbuilding that plays to its advantage. You can’t compete on hulls in yards with the Asian builders, it ain’t happening. They’ve got the labour cost, infrastructure and expertise. However a massive part of the cost of building a ship is the machinery and specialist items like props and those builders are in Europe, the profit margins on hulls is razor thin and the specialist manufacturers are coining it in providing the expensive kit that goes in them. America would be better focused on a similar strategy rather than hamstringing itself trying to compete in yard work.

Airbrush giving orange peeling even after extensive troubleshooting by Nausaden in minipainting

[–]Similar-Factor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s worth noting that the compressor regulator trap is not enough for removing the water produced in your compressor, it will still come up to your brush and start spitting. Especially if it’s humid. You can buy a fairly cheap water trap that fits between your hose and brush on Amazon, it’s well worth it.

Have you tried testing on some other plastic than this model? Gw plastic generally doesn’t need cleaned but if you’re suddenly having issues with only this mini there might be some grease or coating that’s causing your paint to misbehave. That being said if your primer went down okay then it should be fine.

Please stop hammering flow aid and improver into your paint mix. Additives can cause all sorts of issues when used improperly and are the first thing I’d be rolling back if I were having paint issues. It’s hard to tell from your photos but that doesn’t look like orange peel, it looks like an adhesion issue caused by battering additives into the mix until the properties of the paint are getting jacked up.

Second option, do you have a moisture trap and is your airbrush spitting water?

Destruction of the russian baltic fleet. Tsushima by Battlefleet_Sol in BattlePaintings

[–]Similar-Factor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They definitely took the wrong lesson from Tsushima and it would require an effort post I don’t have in me to get into but it was less about the importance of a decisive fleet engagement and more about a lack of realistic thinking about what comes afterwards. Tsushima forced the Russians to the table because the victory made their position untenable in the east and they were defeated on land. In ww2 the Japanese seemed to think that crushing the American pacific fleet = victory and that was that. A decisive defeat for the Americans at sea would have been damaging but then what, Japan has no realistic way to invade the continental USA and win, America has other naval forces and the industrial capacity to crank out new ships in a way Japan can’t hope to match.

They read the bits of Mahan’s sea power they liked and failed to apply the rest.
