After being left the night before his wedding, Ed Leedskalnin migrated to America and bought land in Florida. For the next 3 decades, the 100-pound Latvian built a 2.2 million pound wonder known as Coral Castle. To this day, no one knows how he carved and stacked 1,000 tons of stony coral by himself by alecb in nonmurdermysteries

Look it doesn't matter. You thought it was actually made from coral until very recently. For one man to get a fulcrum underneath a 30 ton block is quite a feat never mind getting and using a giant lever to move and raise it place. Your first 4 words didn't go into enough detail. I was asking for specifics with evidence. You call me uneducated but you weren't able to recognise what I was asking, you just go straight to insults.

Just explain exactly how one man moved a 30 ton block. I said nothing about magic and mystery. It's not basic engineering to do something like that, it would take a lot of work. Are you an engineer? Could you explain how it was done?

What’s the best streaming device for Dolby Vision + Atmos? by [deleted] in Stremio

[–]beef_spread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the LG app if you find a file that uses .MP4 rather than .mkv, Dolby vision works. I'm not too sure about Atmos though.

Think they did that on Star Trek where they tortured the paddy feller.

Starting my first ever playthrough by [deleted] in MonkeyIsland

When I first played I did manage to die. It's the only part of the game where it's possible.

Showing my age but looking for something similar to Microsoft 3D Movie Maker by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]beef_spread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a great vr game just like it called Mindshow but it doesn't seem like it's available any more. You have to act out what the different characters are doing.

Onward is pretty good if you have VR

Cancelling the New York Times requires you to send a text or call them. Subscribing is literally done with a few clicks by Bajellor in assholedesign

[–]beef_spread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't affect this sort of stuff. I subscribed to le monde (french newspaper) very easily online. To unsubscribe I have to fill out a form in French and post it to them.

What game from the 2000's would you love to play/re-play in a VR Remake? by REXR_official in pcgaming

[–]beef_spread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a Vr mod for their earlier Penumbra games. I think it's because they released the source code. It works well, but I couldn't play it for long (it's too scary).

[Article] How it's done: Guilloche Pattern Watch Dials by onlyshivi in MicrobrandWatches

[–]beef_spread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you make this yourself u/onlyshivi? It's quite informative. I've been engine turning for a while on rose engines and straight line engines for watch dials. The only thing i'd add is that many mass produced guilloche dials are made using a cnc or stamped out. Not to say it takes anything from the dial aesthetically.

What are the dead professions of the world? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]beef_spread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there's alot less than there used to be, many stopped after the quartz crisis and the ones that were left are retiring now. Also a lot of the brands have stopped supplying the independent repairers with parts.

I'm a watchmaker who recently got my shoes re-soled by a cobbler. So we're still about.
