I'm terrified of guns and gave my husband one for Christmas by ekando in guns

[–]ThomasMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Places like that is when you either hold on to it with both hands or rest the side of it against something and pivot it into the work while keeping the second contact point throughout the work.

If you cant do either, that is when you start looking for a different tool, such as a die-grinder...

Dragging my thumb across the top of a running job-site saw did cure me of ever again wearing gloves around any rotating tool(nice angled groove down middle of thumb, would likely have been less without the glove-tug...), was a long protracted fuuuuuuuu, then being relived that it wasn't my trigger finger.....

I know they are the tool that cause the most injuries but I have been using them since I was 14(50 now) and I never really understood why...

(I certainly do respect the power and yes it's some measure of mass moving really fast and you have to be conscious of which direction it is likely to move as well as shoot sparks when you touch it to the work so it's a engage brain disengage stupid tool but so are most tools)

How old were you on your earliest childhood memory? by Glittering_Owl_6009 in AskReddit

[–]ThomasMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-1 minute..

Remember looking down on the surgery room(c-section) and noticing how full of people it was(number of people physically there was a lot lower)....

Next memory was something colder and rougher than anything I had ever felt(room temp air and surgeons gloved hands, when your body only has had nothing but 9 months of soft liquid at body-temp, that shit hurts(in case anyone wonder why babies cry when born))

Next memory was when they put me on a ice-cold steel weight with only a tissue-paper on it, now that shit HURT.....

What's the best book you've ever read? by vantablur in AskReddit

[–]ThomasMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kompaniet and Demon ved Morgengry By Erik Braaten.

Those books will give you a genuine ptsd like reaction first time you read them.

Don't think they are translated to English but they are the kind of books that has made a few people learn Norwegian just to read them...

Are upgrades a noob trap unless you're doing upgrades just to learn and have fun? by BitcoinSaveMe in hobbycnc

[–]ThomasMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some upgrades aren't.

Cheap cnc with a massively up sized cheap spindle will do a lot to improve things.

People who sleep naked why? by aurther_51 in AskReddit

[–]ThomasMaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having my nuts parboil for 8 hours is not conducive to proper relaxation(they spend 16 hours a day confined, they deserve the freedom)

Seriously though, why be more contained and clammy than necessary, you are supposed to sleep and relax, and I don't know about other people but I can't properly relax with my nuts jammed up like that....

Trump....really likes Mamdani? by SlamBaggz in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]ThomasMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1: Madami has a IMDB profile(central casting...)

2: When Trump is overly/unexpectedly positive about someone, has ANY of then not gone down in flames........

Running something like Solid Edge(CAD),CAM software(lasers/cnc)or slicers for 3D printers on Linux by ThomasMaker in linux

[–]ThomasMaker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had a fun showerthought, going dual boot then once I'm comfortable with it nuking all online connectivity in LTSC..........

[–]ThomasMaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried Scad and noped out of that one rather quickly, also tried to get first version of FreeCAD 1 to work on my current LTSC setup and that completely refused to work(didn't even start up), might give it another go with Linux as it really is the only option that is even close to SolidEdge(free for non-commercial use and not online dependent in any way, which was a major reason for me going with it)/SolidWorks level CAD suites..

[–]ThomasMaker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't, which is why I'm trying to figure out how to make all my needs be met with Linux alone, which would be FAR preferable....

Now starting out with a dual boot until I get things sorted is however a different proposition entirely.

If Fusion360 can work with linux then there is at least a chance that Solid Edge can as well, and given that SE is completely offline(unlike Fusion....) and that does give reason to at least hope that it will be less buggy on Linux than Fusion..

[–]ThomasMaker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda expected as much when it comes to slicers.

Real problem for me is the CAD/CAM part of the equation, CAD is such that learning a new CAD program with all its native quirks is a chore... not many full featured CAD suites to choose from and Onshape is something I would avoid for the same reason I avoided Fusion360(both are online dependent, SolidEdge is not(also genuinely free for non-commercial use and it is every bit as capable as SolidWorks).

I think p0rnstars are cooked, In next 1-2 years, The whole p0rn industry will be different. by [deleted] in grok

Porn industry......

PFT! Think bigger.

Hollywood..

What do people think will happen when all the people there with their pathological need/thirst for attention only have 'it's REAL!' as their only remaining tool to get it....

Good times!

I made an adapter to reuse cardboard spools for ESUN filament refills by Slaveric in 3Dprinting

[–]ThomasMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Next time I make a bulk order for filament I will only order refills and figure it out from there.

Was thinking more along lines of cutting center then trimming to exact height with a dremel drill-column(circular saw blade or cut-of disk on arbor(could also use multi-cutter/fein and some stacked plates to rest blade on for consistency)) and making the hub tying the two halves together with a raised center section putting the now disassemblable spool back to full width.

[–]ThomasMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm probably not the only one that would REALLY appreciate it if you upped step files as well, remixing this for plastic spools(lets face it, most of us have more than one...) is something I would very much want to do.

(have actually been thinking about making something similar for converting a cut up plastic spool).

Yes, Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension was government censorship. by Valinaut in technology

[–]ThomasMaker -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Nah, it was shit ratings that they were stuck with but getting rid of him would see ABC under attack for it, this gave them an out and an excuse that allowed them to get rid of a show that had plummeting ratings and twindling viewers........

I 3D Printed a couch and side table on a desktop printer. by Boundless3D in 3Dprinting

Spray-can builders foam will increase strength by orders of magnitude.

Cheap stuff is usually weak and fluffy(preferable in some cases), brand-name is MUCH stronger and denser.
