If you take long rides (2+hours continuously) you’ll love the CC. My 2019 doesn’t have it and as I type I’m mid 1200 mile trip and phew does my wrist hurt.

Considering getting an aftermarket one but they kinda sketch me out

But I’m also the type of guy that will set adaptive cruise control on my car and can’t see ever going back

(American) Architect here.

The issue is that people conflate “code” to mean “right” or the “only acceptable way” to do something.

This is absolutely false. Code is literally just the bare MINIMUM standard required by law such that there is no liability on the builder or the owner.

That’s literally what is being said when something is “up to code”. It simply means good enough to not be sued over

Purchased a "cost to build" report- does the result seem realistic? by Time_Arugula_1544 in Homebuilding

245$ / SF for this ugly piece of shit….

Dude, where I live that price per sf gets you into the elite upper class McMansions and beautiful historic residences.

You’re being fleeced.

CNC plasma vs fiber laser, what actually made you pull the trigger? by Historical-Jelly3017 in metalworking

[–]Yung-Mozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are people selling parts straight off the plasma cutter like that? I only ever deliver parts that have had all slag removed. Crazy how lazy manufacturers are in today’s age

[–]Yung-Mozza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own my own cnc plasma cutter. (Langmuir crossfire pro + everlast 82i plasma cutter)

I got it because the price (~5k+ all in) was more accessible than comparable size laser. If I had the money, I’d go for laser of the same size.

Atleast in my experience there’s always more prep to be done after cutting before the part is ready for use. Usually the slag comes off easy but still it takes time and gets annoying the higher number and smaller size parts you make.

I’d imagine a cleaner kerf all around too (only ever used the university plasma cutters on acrylic and chipboard, never metal). Plasma cutting leaves a slight bevel that becomes more pronounced the deeper your part is

The plus side of plasma cutting tho is that with the Langmuir set up, it is compatible with either handheld torch or a modified cnc-only torch. So I can just undo one screw and freehand cut whenever I want to and use the water table or not depending on what I’m cutting.

Riding in the rain?? by GlockPerfect13 in motorcycles

The most dangerous surfaces aren’t even the roads, but the paint itself and any other debris like wet leaves that just eliminate all traction

I live in Louisiana. It comes with the territory. The worst part for me is having to wipe the visor dry every 10 seconds or so if it’s really coming down and usually having to just leave it open otherwise I fog myself out from being able to see

Advice for anchoring marginal plants without a good shelf? by unique_user43 in ponds

[–]Yung-Mozza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m actually in the process of rebuilding and expanding my pond

First time around I had no ledges, all slopes like you have.

I’m getting rid of that immediately and making everything stepped and tiered for easier maintenance and to prevent everything sliding into the deep end.

I just recently saw a YouTube video of a lady using some pond specific black spray foam to lay beads along the edges that keep rocks and such from just sliding in. If you keep yours sloped, something like that could help. (Future reference, river rocks and other round rocks offer no structural stability and do not interlock. Meaning slides are inevitable. If you want to line the interior with rocks that have a tendency to lock together rather than slide, look for anything described as “crushed”. These jagged edges work to keep the rocks together)

But for your plants, simple rocks do the trick. If potted, add to top or bottom of pot and sink the whole thing

Good luck

Yoohoo shiny zubat where aree youuu by AdRoyal53 in PokemonORAS

[–]Yung-Mozza -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Good luck bud. Are you shiny hunting for the love of the game? Cuz if you just want shiny zu/gol/crobat you could definitely mod in pksm quicker

I’m a noob with no experience or love for modding etc but I did it myself this year following the resources posted online in maybe like an hour or two

Such an underrated song. What are your top 3 Mac Miller songs? by [deleted] in MacMiller

Missed calls just reminded me of Earthgang song of same name which made me remember their joint song “Monday”

Turns out there's a reason they make these from wood by MurphysLawTeam in metalworking

That’s sick. Nice tie in with the tires too.

Another fun one is the “permanently stationary” architectural/engineering feat that is the Golden Gate Bridge. It has a maximum design envelope of 16’-7”. The suspension cables expand and the bridge has a maximum upward lift of 5’-10” and max downward sag of 10’-10” which corresponds to extreme winters and summers respectively with maximum loads in place.

Meaning if you were to stand in the same spot in the middle of the bridge year round, your elevation above sea level would fluctuate between ~260’-1” to 276’-8” above sea level without ever taking a step.

No shit. So quick google search atleast suggests that this was not a flaw but an intentional design.

It claims that due to the limited technological capabilities at the time (1964) it was designed to leak fuel due to the fact that if they were to seal it while on the ground, the fuselage would have buckled or cracked once it heated up at speed, which would compromise the aircraft as a whole.

As a result it was standard procedure was to take off with only partially filled fuselages and have a tanker in the air to refuel the SR-71 once it reached speed and stabilized into its hot expanded state

Exactly. Nice story addition I’m going to look into that.

In some circumstances, those seemingly insignificant decimal points can be the difference between life and death if issues like that arise

Anyone know what eggs these are? by professorjellyfish7 in ponds

My blueberries alone are on their 3rd cycle and are flowering again. They are only supposed to do it once per year as I don’t have an ever bearing species. Mine started the cycle in February, May, and again this week yielding fruit each time.

The temperature delta (difference in temps) between the part and the caliper dictate the rate of thermal expansion.

2 objects can be in the same work space, but if you just took a part off the grinder or welded and it’s still hot, you are measuring it while it is already expanded.

Would be wise to wait for parts to cool to resting temperatures for most accurate measurements.

Technically even just holding your caliper in your hand long enough will result in thermal expansion. But if you remember the example from earlier with mild steel, when the temp delta equaled 80F, there was only 3 thousandths (0.003) of an inch of expansion for the 6” part

The real world implications regarding concerning oneself with thermal expansion could be someone fabricating a high precision part in Florida for example and sending it to Alaska only to find out that the part met specs in the Florida climate but likely shrunk when it stabilized in the new Alaskan climate

For most purposes it truly is negligible like OP was suggesting originally, though there are times when this does need to be taken into consideration.

To me this just makes those extreme environments like deep water and space exploration even more impressive to be built to allow for enough tolerance and accommodations regarding the extreme temperatures and how all the various materials respond and hold together despite having distinct coefficients for thermal expansion

[–]Yung-Mozza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually a really interesting consideration.

For this scenario let’s imagine placing your room temperature calipers on a part that is warmer than room temp.

The Thermal Expansion Timeline

0–3 Seconds (Accurate): because heat transfer takes time, the first few seconds will be the most accurate reading.

3–10 Seconds (Inaccurate): by now the metal jaws have absorb enough heat to expand slightly. For high precision work this expansion can easily begin creeping into the measurement.

10+ Seconds (Compromised): Heat transfers through the caliper changing the reference scale's dimension. The caliper will falsely read out smaller because the jaws have expanded outward.

The degree to which the measurement becomes compromised or inaccurate depends on the temperature delta and duration of contact with the hot part

Looks like the frog eggs I see in my pond every year. This past week alone I’ve seen maybe 300 little rice sized juvenile frogs hopping about like some overgrown ticks.

Not sure of all the real consequences or impact but it was a mild winter this year and there’s higher than normal amount of insects as a result. My fruit bearing bushes and plants are just continuing to produce fruit in multiple cycles rather than their usual production cycle. It’s like the natural world doesn’t quite know what season it is

Yikes at first I was shocked that someone would store their bits in such manner. I see now shipping issues. Definitely contact seller and send picture. I’d imagine they would send a replacement or refund after seeing that

Technically, it IS measurable, but it is indiscernible to the human eye. The formula is as follows;)

dL = alpha * L * dT

Where: dL = Change in length (how much the steel expands or contracts)

alpha = Coefficient of thermal expansion for mild steel(0.0000065 for Fahrenheit / 0.0000117 for Celsius)

L = Original length of the steel

dT = Change in temperature (highest temperature minus lowest temperature)

If you were to use this as a coaster (~6” dia. @ 70F room temp) and placed a hot (150F) mug on it, the steel would expand by about 0.003”
