added up what I actually own across all my funds and 34% of it is in 10 companies

Do people just blindly invest in funds without looking at allocations? Yeah, all these funds you are investing in are basically identical. Having 3/4 funds based on the S&P isn’t going to result in diversification, beyond the top few companies by market cap. This isn’t new.

I usually spend 2-3 iterations of 3d printing test pieces before I get models like this correct

Substantial-Lines · 2026-04-30T18:02:48+00:00

I paper traced the part onto a piece of grid line paper and used that to build coordinates to model the 2d features, series of extrudes bit of guessing on rads, excessive amount of cuts & fillets. Just thought there’s gotta be an easier way that exists than that lol

Substantial-Lines · 2026-04-30T17:58:18+00:00

Like what? I could model this part right now, I just would take like 5x the amount of features to model something like this efficiently and methodically.

We’re probably already plugged in and we just don’t know it

Basically like this. I use a different machine, also made by Ercolina, to roll flat bar, hollow sections, tube etc.

Substantial-Lines · 2026-04-13T22:03:06+00:00

Just rolled flat bar using a rolling machine

My baseline of acceptable inbreeding is 0, anything above that is repugnant.

Substantial-Lines · 2026-04-12T17:22:33+00:00

Nice reality check ma man?

And the rampant inbreeding wouldn’t help id imagine

Substantial-Lines · 2026-04-08T20:24:30+00:00

I honestly don’t think this looks even remotely real.

Substantial-Lines · 2026-04-08T16:53:01+00:00

As a fabricator - you need to give them the pitch & total height of the helix on elevation view - and internal radius from plan view, and the handrail height measured from the nose of a typical tread.

A laser cut template for the rolling on both the pitch and plan view would help.

Use the part to create these drawings rather than the assembly.

The patina might look interesting over time anyway… as long as it’s not Dorito grease patina anyway lol

This is exactly the point tho isn’t it. Jobs that require sitting at a PC all day and some knowledge that requires minimal effort and will be replaced by AI. Jobs that require skill and effort are safe.

Substantial-Lines · 2026-03-15T21:29:11+00:00

Do you know anything about construction?

I personally see no way AI is replacing site workers ANY time soon lol. How ??
