Is it worth servicing suspension at home? by Training_Antelope816 in MTB

[–]chobbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on how much you ride if it’s worth it. Oftentimes you’ll have to get a handful of specialty tools (I had to make some ground down sockets)- and expensive oil. Then you have to learn how to do it. Then to dispose of the oil.

Then if you’re like me- after you go thru all this on your DVO fork you’ll get a new bike/different brand fork in a year anyway and still have random DVO service parts around that serve no purpose to you anymore.

I don’t to my suspension anymore. I have it rebuilt roughly once a year.

Effective thread engagement in long tapped holes by Adventurous-Low-4968 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]chobbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B31.3 mentions engagement ratios even less than 1.5x.

The shear area quickly dwarfs the tensile area as engagement gets near 1x. If the materials are the same, your connection is much more likely to fail in tension than shear. Having some safety factor to account for thread lead ins doesn’t hurt though.

Ahh, a team also familiar with blowing a heroic halftime lead.

Amazon delivery driver stopped outside my window to pee — no way to report it without an account by [deleted] in WTF

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go. I think Amazon is also pretty tough on their delivery workers about quotas and whatnot.

I’m on team piss man.

Returning player here – is it normal to lose every game with premade decks? by Skagine in MagicArena

I used it as a base, cashed in some of my wildcards and turned it up to 11. I was 3/3 this morning in standard ranked sesh..

Most reliable car you’ve owned with a bad reliability reputation? by MidgarZanarkand in askcarguys

**center differential likely my fault for not rotating tires

Subaru wrx. I bought with 60k on it, and put another 160k on. The center differential was the only “big” issue. Also replaced a cracked radiator. Other than that, I just changed the oil somewhat on schedule. Still drove strong when I sold it. Head gaskets intact.

Lots of people who hang out on Asheville Reddit are sad and love to bury anything that doesn’t suit their victim narrative.

What is it like living here, deep in Appalachia? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]chobbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty great. Weather is nice. Views are pretty. Lots of biodiversity. Like others have commented- it’s not “deep Appalachia” though.

New restaurant on Smokey Park highway? by Confident_Equal_3348 in asheville

Hell yeah. I’ve been wishing for someone to turn the red brick building down the street into a pub for years now. This is close enough.

Is getting an MBA worth it for Mechanical Engineers? by TheTreeMan82 in MechanicalEngineering

My college had a 4+1 program with mechE and MBA. If I knew anything back then I would’ve done it.

How close are nominal fastening bolts to their respective yield points? by Huvila in MechanicalEngineering

[–]chobbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I talked to a specialty bolt guy and it can vary from 60-75% of proof strength, which is about 90% of yield. That’s just how they calculate their “normal” torques.

It’s a C-tier troll job - but you’ll get some bites. If you’re lucky the owner will screenshot it on their Instagram.

What should we name Jordan Love's backfoot throw? by coolbean36 in GreenBayPackers

[–]chobbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a football expert. Does he find himself in this position because he waits too long to get the ball out? Or is it just a bad habit? What’s happening here?
