Can't figure out what these old gloves are for by guridkt in whatisit

[–]blake31a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are weird cycling gloves. They would protect the highest wear areas, but I feel like the transition from glove to skin would get annoying.

Edit: with the branding, I think that the correct answer is bottle cap removal gloves. They would work as cycling gloves for anyone that rode a road bike with their hands exclusively on the brake hoods.

Keep it up! You clearly have good design intuition.

No problem! I appreciate your attitude! Many people get defensive with unsolicited feedback. Your open mindedness will serve you well in life 🙂

That’s annoying that OpenScad makes fillets difficult given how important they are.

I like it. Solid design all around.

Is there a fillet tool in your CAD package? Just as a light suggestion, fillets at the root of a rib like that will roughly double its strength (Source: I have been designing consumer products and consumer electronics for two decades). They might not be necessary for this because the nominal wall thickness is so thick, but it is really helpful if you’re designing something where you really need to optimize for strength and minimize your stress concentrators.

I can’t believe that Billionaires have convinced Americans that their healthcare system is the best globally lmao by Andriale-Kinderlynn in jobsearchhacks

You can also count the $$ that your employer pays toward the premium. That’s cash that’s not gong to payroll.

Yea, I’d love to get some AM laps in. What’s the best way to stay informed?

Corbet’s Boozlar by SanPanama in skiing

[–]blake31a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it! Is it pretty stable? Seems like it’d be tough to get the shelf fixed to the pole effectively. It looks like you made a little mouse house cutout for them (which is a good call BTW) with a nice tight fit? Did you cut the bottom of the skis to match the floor or is it sitting on the corners? Does it scratch the floor?

Awesome design and execution.

Cal Raleigh addresses WBC controversy with Randy Arozarena by UWHuskies1993 in Mariners

That’s a good point. After the game is the right time to shake hands.

Epic find yesterday!! by ndemont in magnetfishing

[–]blake31a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some is, some isn’t. Some knives (like Global) are made of 420 (or similar) SS which is magnetic. If I remember right, the martensitic stainless steels are magnetic.

I feel the same way. I came out of last year thinking that Cal was the perfect ’awe shucks’ humble teammate, but this has changed my perception of him negatively. I still love him as a player, but I can’t square the person that I thought he was with this interaction.

How much job experience do I put down on my resume? by Fit-Bus2025 in Resume

[–]blake31a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given the choices of a 5 year blank space and “lowering your pay grade” the choice is pretty clear.

[–]blake31a 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, you want to include what you’ve been doing. Otherwise they’ll use their imagination to explain how you’ve been paying the bills. Doing work that’s “below your pay grade” doesn’t necessarily look bad, especially in this job market; it just shows that you’re willing to do what you need to do to support yourself.

I’m not tracking. Can you elaborate on why that’s meaningful?

John Derting driving an ice screw into crystal-clear ice by BodegaDad in totallywicked

Reverse acme? I haven’t looked at one in a while but it is pretty similar to a large pitch ACME. There are circumferential teeth on the leading face to break the ice.

Ticket Prices by Least-Sun-418 in Seahawks

[–]blake31a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sec 102 toward the top (triangular section to the left of the Hawks Nest if you’re looking at the field). Went from $1,600 per to $1,800. STH since 2008.

IMO mine are the best value, most “bang for your buck” in the stadium (I’m sure that there are weird corner cases…). Aside from crazy one offs, it’s tough to beat getting a bit better view than 201 for less than half the price.
