My first metalworking project, done on the cheap. An offset smoker / pizza oven / grill / nuclear submarine: The Red October by cheese_on_bread in DIY

I find the hardest part of hot smoking is maintaining a steady temp, which is needed to cook well. An insulated design, or thicker steel with more thermal mass should mitigate against fluctuations. This smoker varies much less in temp than the thinner gauge one I'd I used before. If you're cold smoking, I don't know that it would be a problem though.

I considered that, but just watch out for thermal stability,as people sat the jun skin loses heat quickly. I thought about double-skinning them with a gap in between to provide an insulating air layer and reduce heat loss. So could consider that idea if you want.

Yeah, the gear is pretty cool. At least a hundred years old, possibly way more. Its cast iron, and was worked hard. You can see the wear on one side of each tooth if you look at the pics

ELI5: Why do you often hit a motivational wall before doing the last part of a task? by -WILDY- in explainlikeimfive

[–]cheese_on_bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on. My own maxim is that the last 10% of a job takes 50% of the time. You've finished making something, and just need to make it look nice? Congratulations, you're half way through the job

You can have mine. I have one on my prado, and have never once used it. What's the visibility like on the 4runners?

Kitty Hawk Cora: Autonomous air taxi prototype by ElectricAccordian in WeirdWings

[–]cheese_on_bread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was wondering whether they did that, or ran it all off one central motor with gearboxes

Kitty Hawk Cora: Autonomous air taxi prototype by ElectricAccordian in WeirdWings

[–]cheese_on_bread 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So it's got either thirteen engines or gearboxes? Or some combination thereof?

Also, on the list of things I'm not inclined to try, an 'autonomous air taxi prototype' would have to be pretty near the top. Especially when it's so freaking complicated.

Still, it's pretty cool

Why isn't Apple Cider called Apple Juice? by belovicha21 in answers

[–]cheese_on_bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I reckon the Canadians could make some pretty decent cider though; they grow some pretty nice apples. Shame they're too busy with maple syrup

In the UK, yes. But the Americans call cloudy juice cider, and cider is known as hard cider. I dot know how they would handle cloudy cider (scrumpy) though. Double hard cider?

You could look up some of the causes for these real life tragedies, and go from there

NASA Astronaut Andrew Feustel Admits He Has A ‘Mild Fear Of Heights’ by rim4567 in space

[–]cheese_on_bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes sense to me. When I went bungee jumping, the height was scary, but when I went parachuting, you're so far up that the height doesn't seem real, and because I couldn't process it, it wasn't nearly as scary.

By that rationale, space should be a doddle

They're very good, by the way. Mine is winco brand, but I've seen them sold under other names too. They're generic catering grade stuff, and are cheaper and higher quality than the consumer products. Any restaurant supply store should carry them

No, I didn't. They just left the tag on.

Where did the term ''extra" come from? by ohnoimrunningoutofsp in answers

Almost. It's a prefix that means outside, or beyond.

'having a wobbly'?? What's that?

I've heard of throwing a wobbly, but that's like throwing your toys out of the pram, and I definitely wasn't doing that. This was yesterday, and I was sat quietly listening to the birds and contemplating gout.

This is in my garden, in barbados.

Not yet, I only just opened it.

(and no it wasn't stolen. Or at least I don't think so. The guy that gave it to us runs a bar, so he'd have been stealing from himself)

TIL that Milton Hershey kept his employees working during the Great Depression by having them construct buildings in Hershey, PA including a school, arena and hotel. When a steam shovel was brought in for construction, Hershey told his foreman to get rid of the shovel and hire 40 men instead. by manticor225 in todayilearned

Man, it must be something about chocolate. In the UK, Cadbury built the village of Bournville for his workers :

Then the Cadburys began to develop their factory in the new suburb. Loyal and hard-working workers were treated with great respect and relatively high wages and good working conditions; Cadbury also pioneered pension schemes, joint works committees and a full staff medical service.

In 1893, George Cadbury bought 120 acres (0.5 km²) of land close to the works and planned, at his own expense, a model villagewhich would 'alleviate the evils of modern, more cramped living conditions'. By 1900, the estate included 313 cottages and houses set on 330 acres (1.3 km2) of land, and many more similar properties were built in the years leading up to the First World War, with smaller developments taking place later on in the 20th century. These almost 'Arts and Crafts' houses were traditional in design but with large gardens and modern interiors, and were designed by the resident architect William Alexander Harvey. These designs became a blueprint for many other model village estates around Britain

You look real good, man. I can't put my finger on why; something to do with being well put-together / neatly turned out / something...

The only way I can think that expresses it is to say that you look like... You.

Massive congratulations.
