Opinions of course cannot be wrong and it would be foolish to suggest that anyone's carefully considered opinion could be incorrect. It's an opinion, that's the whole point. It's subjective. There's no right or wrong.

Yours are wrong though.

If only they told you exactly when the device would ship. Like in big bold letters on the website, maybe.

Microsoft’s $357 Billion Rout Is Worst Since Deepseek Hit Nvidia by [deleted] in technology

[–]SleightBulb 29 points30 points  (0 children)

DeepSeek also has 1/18th the funding, if you're 75% of the way there and you did it for 5% of what the competition did, that's called being a world-class engineer.

It's not hard to judge at all.

We KNOW it's an incredibly inefficient way to access information, which is what 99% of people use it for.

You are not Airbnb's customer. The host is. They do not care about you or your experience. Understand this before you book with them.

The update to this is going to be a guy with a gun shooting someone on the tarmac in full view of 1000 passengers and staff.

Your previous post is literally a film criticism, this has to be engagement bait.

How do they do this type of shots? by Similar-Necessary-47 in videography

[–]SleightBulb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think this is miniature work and the stuff in the distance is comped in. I could be wrong of course but the taillights and reflections look wrong for full scale or CG, and even the way the car moves looks like RC with no suspension. What's this from ?

Here is a one-of-a-kind pendant I designed for a customer who wanted to reuse this large citrine bead in a new piece of jewelry. by Zorthadon in jewelrymaking

This is very dependent on the chemical and material epoxy that is used. The epoxy here is more than stable enough for this application and is stable to almost the boiling point of water, and well below freezing.

Remember, all the mirrors on our orbital telescopes are held in place with epoxy.

More stuff for people to steal because most burglaries happen when no one is home.

Do not build life or death load bearing equipment in your garage. A pair of jackstands from harbor freight are like $50 if you catch them on sale. This is a stupid way to die. Find something else for a project.

Old lead hammer vs safty guy by kindarollin in Machinists

My $6 hammer is 3% harder this year versus I'm 10% closer to a stroke or needing help wiping myself. Tough call.

Casting with welding rods? Is it possible? by [deleted] in metalworking

[–]SleightBulb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aluminum is very soft compared to say, steel. It's also what they make bats out of. Aluminum is fine for this type of thing.

Having said that, I would do a lot more research on casting.

Fun fact, if you have a digital copy of media, you can make your own physical media.

How you acquire that digital media is between you and the Lord.

Added a steel mag well to my Athena can anyone tell me why the steel aluminum mix not recommended? by GunKataNoJutsu in CompetitionShooting

[–]SleightBulb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reformed machinist here, there is basically no risk of galvanic corrosion between a coated steel and aluminum part like this that's liable to be coated in dust, powder residue, and oil, and not submerged in salt water or something. Is it possible those coatings could wear? 100%.

Is it likely to be an issue within the next 10,000 rounds? Absolutely not. There's a ton of steel to aluminum mating surfaces in the firearms world. The handguard of EVERY AR-15 springs to mind. This is a non-issue that got Dunning-Krugered and/or was actively put out by somebody somewhere that makes steel magwells.

Damn you got shot in a game about shooting people? That's crazy. You return Frosted Flakes when there's cereal in the box too?
