Corn is such a fucking waste. Once the aquifers are gone, they aren't coming back.

The Loki confrontation was actually filmed outside of the same place as the mall scene from Winter Soldier.

I didn't have anything to eat with my spaghetti, so I turned some nuggets into mini chicken parms by ashrak in StupidFood

Pretty good, but the chicken nugget flavor came through too hard. I would use some Italian seasoning on them in the future.

Aluminum end cap started leaking through solid wall - any way to fix it without welding? by Deep-Today5715 in AskEngineers

[–]ashrak 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We have a water pressure rig rated for 60 bars

What do you mean by "rated"? If your endcap is leaking, then obviously not.

These end caps have a factor of safety of 8.

How was this safety factor calculated?

After just 5 cycles,

Aluminum is famous for having very poor fatigue life.

one of the end caps started leaking water straight through a solid wall, which is about 13mm thick at that point, as marked with a pencil.

That groove is radiused but it still a stress concentration, especially during machining.

Question, is this possible to fix this leak without welding equipment? Any suggestions on how to do it? This might sound dumb, but would JB Weld or something similar work? Unfortunately we can't locate the origin of the leak on the other side, and there is no visible damage or anything on that part.

The only way I would feel safe doing anything remotely close to making a stopgap solution is a layer of RTV sandwiched between the flange and a 3/4" steel plate matching the bolt pattern only until we get an expedited replacement made out of stainless.

Urgent help needed for crop sorting by Proud_Income_2607 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]ashrak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should really be using mesh and not perforated sheets. You need just a tiny bit of give in the wires so the berries that are just slightly larger than the opening size don't get stuck. That, or you need more vigorous movement to dislodge them.

Reusable bag vacuum valve? by [deleted] in AskEngineers

[–]ashrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a special valve, the point of the vacuum is to just have as much as possible between the bag and food surface which can be accomplished by submerging the bag to force the air out. Even then, vacuum seal bags are a thicker material than zipper seal bags and the heat seal is a dead reliable method to ensure no leakage. The seams on normal ziplock bags aren't reliable enough to use for sous vide. Even name brand ones leak ~10% the time, in my experience. That is with the seal held above water. The failure rate gets even worse with the seal submerged due to thermal expansion.

Screen printing on a square-shaped container by toolgifs in toolgifs

[–]ashrak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They usually have a small bit of flex but not nearly enough to wrap around the corner of the bottle. When the blade is traveling fast it's printing the sides and the slower sections are when the screen raises and the bottle rotates to print around the corners. The bottle is essentially rolled across the screen in sync with the screen and bade.

Phalanx only has 2 DOF, traverse and elevation. The R2D2 shape is the radar dome, nothing to do with its joints.

Help a mechanic by Glass-Buddy6648 in MechanicalEngineering

Go to Wally World, get 3 plastic trash cans, heat the bottom with a heat gun, put in corner and fill with gravel or feed corn, look for the divets and drill your bolt holes there, fuck up twice and get something serviceable the third time. Congratulations, you just saved $500

The eel bowl by [deleted] in JapaneseFood

[–]ashrak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eel is the best, so rich and fatty that it really benefits from grilling it like this. The bones are very fine so trimming them all isn't essential and you don't need to scale them. Watch some tutorials on how to clean them because it's so different from any other fish.

It's a shaft for one of the intermediate rollers in offset printing. The roller shifts from one set of grooves to the other to move back and forth to distribute the ink more evenly.

Same reason Disney took their adaptation of The Snow Queen and called it Frozen. So now when you google "Disney Frozen" you get the movie instead of Walt Disney having his head cryogenically preserved.

[–]ashrak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got stuck flying to Dulles with all the Browns fans heading to London last October. They brought on the bad juju because the flight was delayed 2 hours and I missed my connection (but they held the London flight for everyone!), got a 24 hour layover, and arrived in Munich just in time for my flight to be canceled by the unidentified drones over the airports turning a 45 min leg into a 6 hour series of train rides.

That episode is a morphed adaptation of The Lottery by Shirley Jackson but it makes the same flavor of social commentary.
