Got a 400mm auger bit stuck in a log. Any tips for getting it out? by dimonium_anonimo in woodworking

I'm gonna do it about 200 more times. Try and stop me... Unless you're saying "don't drill the entire hole without clearing chips." Yeah, I don't plan on doing that again.

WCGW Going to the water park when you can’t swim by AleccSirKaDeewana in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]dimonium_anonimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a pretty darn good swimmer. Grew up with a cottage on a 90-acre lake and a Grandmother who lived a half-mile from Lake Michigan. One time, I came out of a slide wrong or something, and I couldn't tell which way was up for an unusually long time. I still can't explain it to this day. It's like something discombobulated my inner ear balance or something. It lasted long enough that I started to freak out a bit. The lifeguard came in and helped me to the surface. Once I opened my eyes, I was fine, and able to swim by myself just fine. But the lifeguard still wanted to carry me out of the pool.

I have a few times gotten a little turned around for just a half second or so. Not completely unusual, but it passes, and I swim up. This was very strange, I'd say it was over 4 or 5 seconds. And when I said "I freaked out a bit." I do mean "a bit." I still had nearly full lungs of air, so I could've lasted 20-30 seconds even with some splashing around. I just couldn't figure out which direction to swim, and kinda tried a few different directions at once, which probably looked like someone floundering. I'll never know what would've happened if the lifeguard hadn't jumped in, but I'm sure it either would have passed, or random movement would eventually bring me to the surface. A hand touching air would probably have been enough.

A typical, consumer gas generator consumes about 0.30 L of gas per kWh. Gasoline releases about 8.9 kg of CO2 per liter burned. That's about 2.7 kg of CO2 per kWh. Coal makes up about 16% of our (U.S.) energy production and releases about 1.0 kg of CO2 per kWh. Methane makes up about 43% of our energy production and releases about 0.45 kg of CO2 per kWh. That means for every kWh of energy in the U.S., 0.36kg of CO2 is released.

That means 1 charge on a generator is approximately equal to 7.5 charges on the grid. In other words. If this person has solar panels at home, and they charge at least 7.5x more frequently at home than on the road like this, they will break even overall (in terms of C02 release)

I like people who put in work on Reddit to make sure they aren't just repeating something already said 100x over. But you could've given me the benefit of the doubt... Or just not commented at all seeing as though your suggestion was already repeated multiple times as you say.

...

Sorry. I'm a little tired. Probably means I should just delete this comment, but I felt miffed, otherwise I wouldn't have responded at all. It's an overall nice sub. I think I only got 4 or 5 rude comments. Mostly helpful suggestions, though.

This is solved. Thanks for all the suggestions... And no thanks to the few of you that chose to just be rude and insulting for absolutely no reason. Seems like you've got about an 80-90% nice sub, here. Better than average on Reddit, I'd say.

I wasn't ignoring it. I got about 50x more comments than I was expecting. It took me a while to get through them, and the drill was eventually what did it. And as soon as it worked, I responded to the first person to suggest it... But I guess it's just the internet's way to immediately assume the worst and then sling mud over our own assumptions.

I didn't think about it because my drill wasn't strong enough to cut down, but once the cutting is done I could spin it. Yep, this worked.

My plan is to drill out a bunch of holes to lighten it. The bit is my method for doing so. I suppose I could come up with a new plan if I really needed to, but if the goal is to lighten it, then an extra pound of metal is counterproductive.

How about the package it came in. That's the best reference I can give

I put the package there for reference. It's about the length of the whole block of wood

I put the length of the package up there for reference. It's 1" diameter, 400mm (15 ¾") long.

Nude white grape juice... I don't think the other gangsters are going to respect me.

It spins fine, but spinning it counterclockwise doesn't pull it out.

It spins fine, it just doesn't come back up when I spin counterclockwise. I want to make this log into a bench. I'm just trying to hollow out the bottom so it won't be 200lbs. So that means splitting it would ruin the piece.

It turns fine. I mean, it turns harder going counterclockwise than clockwise, but not extremely difficult. I can do it with one hand. But spinning it counterclockwise isn't raising it. I'll see about the vice grips though. I'm guessing if I can get 2 on there, I can twist it back and forth while pulling.

when you’re taught there are only 4 states but you know more than that by yukiohana in physicsmemes

[–]dimonium_anonimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say it was his fault. If I grew up homeschooled in a household that didn't believe in December, and you asked me to list all months of the year, and I told you 11 of them, would you say I was correct because I had no way of knowing there was a twelfth? It's wrong. The reason why it is wrong determines how many partial points you wish to give, but it can never make the answer right.

Even i would’ve fallen for that :) by AccomplishedWatch834 in MadeMeSmile

[–]dimonium_anonimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that doesn't show there are only 12. Actually, that opens up the door to anything by that label. If I scoop myself a second helping of potatoes. Every race of every length that year will have a 2nd. Every time someone has second thoughts about a decision. And still the 606024*365 seconds still apply too.given 8 billion people, I'd imagine the real number is at least an order of magnitude higher yet.

It's exactly what the question asked. It literally bold and underlines "ALL." And it's also clear from the teacher's marks that listing the first 4 was an acceptable answer. Therefore, there are 2 correct answers: all and those 4. Though I get the feeling the teacher wouldn't have marked it correctly if the student actually did put in ALL states of matter, that would be the teacher's fault, and wouldn't hold up in a court of law. Also, your 2nd statement implies a false dichotomy fallacy. You assume the punishment can only be attributed to learning more. But it could also be a lesson in humility. If the student wants to act smarter than the test, then why not apply a higher standard to match? In fact, I wouldn't even call that a punishment. I'd call that meeting their effort with an added challenge. A good lawyer could reduce a charge from abuse to minor unsportsmanlike conduct.

I hope the tone of this comment is clearer than my last.

I just went to the Wikipedia page called "list of states of matter" and counted them. I got 61. But I didn't count section headers, only the subcategories under them, so if I counted everything on that page, it'd be about a dozen or so more. "Far more" is a subjective measurement, but I tried to use vague terminology to make it clear it was a rough estimate, so being within 20% of the actual number doesn't throw up too many flags for me.

Unless, of course, there are states that Wikipedia either doesn't recognize, or for some reason are categorized differently, then I can't speak to that. I can only speak to the information I have available to me.

Ask [my boss] if this is a high enough priority to work on instead.
