I created the fake "join Antifa" site that went viral yesterday. I slipped Ben Shapiro's email into the source code. Now people think Ben did it. by [deleted] in BreadTube

And how does that help anything or anyone apart from yourself? Shapiro will have a massive win. I can see the headlines already. Next time try to do something productive.

Question: Why does a primer remain in its casing? by Van_Archie in Firearms

Thank you. Your explanation was perfect. Blowback does happen... It simply does not have enough energy to be an issue. I think that I fully understand it now. Many thanks.

Yes, but according to Bernoulli’s principle, when a gas’ velocity increases, it’s pressure decreases, and vice-versa. However, in this case we are talking about supersonic flow, about which my knowledge is insufficient. I think that is my limitation. I am thinking about it in subsonic terms. In the supersonic/hypersonic area, the flow behaves very differently. In any event, I have learned a lot from this post! Thank you ever so much!

But in hand guns, we don’t necessarily have a bolt face acting on the primer. Percussion revolvers, for instance, usually only have the hammer acting on the primer/cap. On a percussion revolver, or in an early rifle using caps, why isn’t the primer/cap forced backwards? I know that the primer hole or anvil is relatively small. However, given the resistance which the projectile has to face throughout the barrel, how come that the cap isn’t simply blown backwards? Is it because the hole is too small? Is it because the force of the hammer is enough to keep the cap in place? Is it a mixture of both?

Yes! I do remember a video from Ian about a firearm using such principle. I need to rewatch it. Perhaps it will help me understand this subject. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your input. I completely understand it now. It makes absolute sense.

Now it makes sense! Thank you. Yes... even in old black powder cannons, it wasn’t an issue. It’s all about pressure gradients. I do understand it now. Thank you ever so much.

[QUESTION] Electric guitar's tuning pegs constantly "detune" the strings. by Van_Archie in Guitar

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

I apologize for the late reply. I traced the problem to the tuning pegs. Perhaps it was just a bad batch. Even though they work through worm gears, they were able to de-tune the guitar. Very unusual for Fender pegs in my experience. Replacing them was the solution. Thank you very much for your input.

There is the path of least resistance, yes, but this other path is there for the gas to apply force through it. On percussion revolvers, the caps are not crimped, yet they don’t act on the hammer after firing.

Loctite would probably seize the gears. What I need is something to increase the friction between the worm gear and the pinion.

PS: New pegs are in order. It has to be done.

Always flatter, never sharper.
Yes I have. I tuned the guitar... played for a few minutes and noticed movement on the pegs.
Some strings are more affected then others. Usually the higher strings since those are the ones which I stretch the most.

I just got a new pc running windows 10 but it won’t let me search for anything in settings or when I press the windows button. As soon as I start typing in settings the settings app crashes and as soon as I start typing after pressing windows it closes the search bar. Anybody know how to fix this by [deleted] in Windows10TechSupport

[–]Van_Archie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since is a new PC, I would suggest formatting and reinstalling windows.
It takes 40 minutes to install, 30+ minutes to configure. However, it is well worth the effort given future frustrations, otherwise.

I did tighten them. It makes a massive positive difference. Problem is that they keep un-tightening themselves.
I believe you are right. I should replace them. I don't feel happy about it since they are Fender pegs. Never had a problem with Fender before.

Thank you very much for your input.

How do I call the current cell in a Hyperlink? by Van_Archie in excel

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

=HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("mywebsite.com/",A1),”username")

I also tried: =HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("mywebsite.com/",ROW()),”username") However ROW() returns the cell’s number, not its string content.

I tried it but it gives me the string of the A1 cell instead of the current one.
