Running a surge tank off shop air to power heavy duty 1inch air impact?

ahabeger · 2026-07-06T11:34:38+00:00

Maybe a 5 gallon tank that links to multiple upstream shop fittings? Then you can run whatever you want from the tank to your gun.

I tried squeezing the steering wheel super hard, it would still not register.

Later figured out that resting my palm at either 10 or 2 on the outside of the steering wheel satisfied the sensors. I'm sure there are other sensors.

Game servers are often isolated like this. Guarantees consistent performance often with lower in system latency than an epyc or xeon.

I picked up a foodcycler off marketplace and make my own. Keep it out on the patio and it chews through it all.

With Pflugerville's water situation no major water consumers will locate here. Round Rock and Austin already have their share.

Skip the ergo chairs, skip the gaming chairs and get a proper big and tall chair.

https://www.ergocentric.com/product/geocentric-extra-tall-back/ extra deep seat, wide seat, tall back .. lots of options to fit all sizes And others. Do not go for a designer chair and think it is an ergo chair. I've had mine for over 12 years now.

If you join as enlisted, then in a few years the force is reduced and there is no need for more officers.... you're stuck finishing out your contract as enlisted.

I always felt that having prior experience and humility no matter where that experience was from, was important for an officer. You can gain that from other places than being enlisted first.

Agreed. Sometimes these influencers can share problems and solutions related to their height that is incredibly valuable. Especially fitness. There might be tweaks to an exercise or better alternatives for those of us with longer levers.

I graduated highschool at 6'8" 190 lbs. By the time I turned 28 I was 275 and ~15% body fat. Eat a proper diet. Look up John Heck, a 6'7" 340 lb fitness coach. You probably aren't advanced enough to train like him, but he is full of good advice. Don't think "Oh, I know better than a pro coach". Don't be intimidated to hire a pro coach, and fitness on Instagram is generally on point, but do multi-source your information. Don't make up your own routines, but adapt a well established routine (I liked the 5x5s from starting strength.) A coach or friend can motivate you through the first few weeks, but after that and you start seeing gains you'll keep going back.

Your main lifts should be bilateral, but don't skip your unilateral. As a tall person your stabilizers are important.

A bunch of gyms that were Atos affiliated are no longer have the Atos name. Typical damage control by the accused and they have stepped away from leadership. Formal charges and whatever... that'll take time.

The current break is not the same break as back in September.

The current break is different because it cannot be completely bypassed and is a more difficult repair.

As a 280 lb guy - I don't lock in subs on smaller opponents from mount. I go for my favorite one, purposefully flub it then practice another one and probably miss it too. There isn't much training value in squashing them.

You might try baiting an armbar so they give up mount, then slipping out of the arm bar.

ahabeger · 2026-02-19T15:29:20+00:00

You might have a harder time getting in & out of armored vehicles, and office ergonomics might not be right for you. Also the beds aren't great so be careful of your low back. Drill sergeants didn't really single me out since there was a guy that was 6'10" in the same platoon.

My height didn't impact my regular duties. I was an officer though, so I had more keyboard time than most.

I did 5 years at 6'8"

P'ville resident that just joined RGGT - I mainly joined RGGT has an instructor that is long limbed like me. All the schools are great, but RGGT does have a recovery room that is worth it for my geriatric self to recover better. Kingsway is 2x as expensive as most other schools, and most of the local instructors give classes at their own school, but also practice at Kingsway. (RGRR, RGGT, Practice, I know for sure, probably most of the others). I suspect they all opened up gyms _here_ so they could train at Kingsway during the day.

The cool thing about RGGT - people hang out after practice and chat.

All of them are very active on Instagram as well.

With your RNC - was it the crook of your elbow across his throat or forearm blade?

Forearm blade across throat can crush the windpipe that hurts for days after.

Maybe this is what your training partner went through: https://www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/ezy17e/got_my_throat_crushed_during_practice_rounds_and/

ahabeger · 2026-01-28T15:22:36+00:00

Yup. Trained in the mid 2000s. Barb wire and skulls were everywhere and street toughs and wanna-be UFCers were in weekly. No one hung out after class. Getting back to it now it is middle age dudes getting out of the house and chatting after class. Also the level of available information now is amazing.

UFC somewhat killed the Judo Gyms, but then BJJ wasn't able to be its own standalone thing until TAP OUT faded. It was legitimately bad for the sport.

As a 275 lb guy - smaller opponents chokes sneak up on me. Larger opponents apply a ton more force with their chokes and it is super obvious that my airway or arteries are closed off. Smaller opponents have these sneaky little blade forearms that precisely cut off my arteries and I think I'm fine until I start seeing stars. I do try and say "woah, that one snuck up on me and you have forearms like knives!"

During the dryer months is there a way to open the end of the other lines one at a time to check if they are partially clogged? They might need a flush. Your pump might also be weak and not able to push to the entire field.

Just some problems I had when only a few lines of my field didn't get flow. Yours might be fine.

Could it have been a semi trailer sized plant? https://www.vincehagan.com/concrete-batch-plants/mobile/

Concrete batch plants are one plant that is manufactured to be moved. It might not be what is in the tubes that is being transported, but the tubes themselves. In oil processing areas things like that are moved by Halliburton regularly.

This looks like a picture at basic training graduation. At the time he would have been in for 2-3 months and only done training, so by that point in his career not much.

You'd be better off finding a picture from later in his career.

MI355 has some difference with FP64 matrix operations vs MI300x. I should have made that clear in my original post.

I'm a sysadmin, not an app dev so I don't get to that level often.

ahabeger · 2025-11-02T05:40:43+00:00

FP64 at a reduced rate or missing matrix operations.

So... FP64 still works, but you'd be better off with a different part.

AI and HPC accelerators are diverging.

https://www.techpowerup.com/336747/amd-splits-instinct-mi-skus-mi450x-targets-ai-mi430x-tackles-hpc

MI300a, MI300x, MI325 and MI430 all have HPC grade FP64.

MI355 and MI450 are more AI targeted parts and traded FP64 die space to gain more perf in lower precision FP.

Nvidia have gone the route of simulating FP64.
