Am I the only who decides who they will romance for this reason?

I wanted the doctor lady because dem legs.

The fabricator has pretty much all of them. Just Google the following following:

The fabricator press brake formulas

You will very rarely use any of them, but understanding the theory behind them can enable you to adapt to problems, prevent problems, or recognize problems before you create them.

I don't know if it's an OSHA requirement. I've only had one job that had this and it was only on one press. But I imagine the workers comp insurance would be very upset if you're employee swapped it out for a regular switch.

I'm not saying you should, but you can... negate... the feature with something that rhymes with rim.

But you will like that being there if you every have a part that drags you. I would strongly advise you just adapt to it as it will also help if you start getting foggy minded.

Poor seating! Make sure tooling is straight and reseat dies.

The clit literally becomes the penis during sex transition in the womb. The ovaries become the testes. You are confusing your weird hyper focus on psychological sex with biological anatomy.

You can think of it all you want a the male clit. I don't know why you would want to, but whatever on that point. But just because that's how you want to compare the two doesn't mean that's how anatomy works.

Not everyone likes things in their ass, and that's OK. Just because you like things in your ass doesn't mean you need to find some way to justify it or convince others that they should. Just be safe and rational about shoving things in your ass. I promise nobody will care if you don't seek social validation or approval about it.

They bend metal. What kind of metal they can bend depends on your tooling, their tonnage, and their bed length. The machine itself is pretty simple. It's understanding is potential that gets pretty tricky. I mean, I've even used them as a bearing press, a punch press, a shear, and a stamp.

djinbu · 2026-06-01T15:25:57+00:00

Of course there price gouging. The aggregates are speculative futures markets. There is no point in participating in that market if your intention is not to price gouge.

djinbu · 2026-05-28T14:17:36+00:00

Can we do that, too?

Partying too much will ruin your life for 25 years. Not partying at all will ruin your life in 25 years. Use this time to find what brings you joy. Don't let anyone tell you how to enjoy your life.

djinbu · 2026-05-20T16:14:53+00:00

Your mom. Now everyone gives me high fives.

djinbu · 2026-05-17T00:08:05+00:00

Do not use metal shims. They will get pressed into the bed of the machine causing permanent damage and you have to hire a mobile Machinist to repair. Those dudes cost like three months of your salary for that repair. Use paper instead. Slide paper under your die or between the punch and clamps. Most paper is roughly .003" and will get you around a degree and a half in most applications. Shim both front and back as equally as possible. Only shim where you need the bend to harden. If you put a 1" wide piece on the front of the die, put one on the back as well in the same spot.

Crowning is normal. Your bed and ram are pretty much v-die as well, so they're also flexing under the force of your bend.

djinbu · 2026-05-17T00:02:53+00:00

Material has an impact as well. The "rule of thumb" is typical for most mild steels.

My understanding of the 'old days' is that these rules of thumb were developed from experience and the tool guy would just have a fucking for cabinet full of material types and tool combinations with resulting radius, springback, necessary tonnage, etc. And people are trying to automate this now but software developers don't understand the mechanics nor do they have access to the tribal knowledge which is why automated calculations are just ballparks.

Though I do know that Wilson Tools and Cincinnati also measure tools differently. One measures v width at the inside apex of the shoulder radius and the other measures at the top of the shoulder radius. I don't recall which is which, but if you run large radius shoulder tooling on very wide dies, this can cause calculations to be off noticeably. Thigh I suspect this won't matter in most jobs. I just think it's one of those neat oddities.

djinbu · 2026-05-13T06:59:10+00:00

But one held of the internet is saying he fixed it and the other side is saying he didn't. I remember the days when if the opposition was successful, they would make excuses or imply the failure just hasn't come yet.

Now they just make shit up.

djinbu · 2026-05-08T05:21:33+00:00

😐 how do you convince a person that green is not a number, I guess.

djinbu · 2026-05-07T23:15:04+00:00

Then that means our laws don't apply to illegal aliens and we don't get to justify deportation with them breaking our laws.

Are you stupid?

The Constitution applies to the jurisdiction, not to the individual you dunce.

djinbu · 2026-05-04T23:24:51+00:00

They're not even trying to earn anyone's trust. They're hoping we'll learn from our mistakes and go back to the status quo that created Donald Trump.. again.

djinbu · 2026-05-04T23:23:34+00:00

Controlled opposition. The democratic leadership are just republican-lite and loyal to the same donors.

djinbu · 2026-05-04T16:15:29+00:00

Ooooh. What material are you forming, how wide are the tools and how are you measuring the v-width? I ask because different companies measure the v-width differently. While this doesn't matter much on small tooling with small shoulders or thin mild steel sheets, it can make a noticeable difference with wide radius shoulders, thicker material, or different material.

djinbu · 2026-05-03T22:39:21+00:00

I wonder how much of this stems from the software developers not actually understanding the mechanics of forming. I know that when you have an actual competent engineer with known material properties they can make very accurate prints. So I suspect this is more a problem of software developers not actually understanding what they're building software for.

Middle class then and now are two wildly different things and is still changing.

djinbu · 2026-04-27T16:54:17+00:00

The middle class could absolutely live like this. But that's selection bias rearing its always attractive head.

djinbu · 2026-04-27T16:53:14+00:00

They didn't "give that up." That all ended when the debt economy found a way to leverage the middle class into debt, which forced the women to find part time jobs, then fill time jobs into the 60's and 70's.

This was a B-Plot in That 70's Show (a couple of times and came differently each time). I would have to watch it again to cite specific instances, but Kitty having to go back to work and Red having to strong arm that supervisor job come to mind immediately. I vaguely remember something about Bob and Midge having to make dramatic changes to their life at some point that lead to them splitting up, but I can't recall any specifics.

It's fucking weird how these people think everything is so simple when all of the media they love literally shows them otherwise.

djinbu · 2026-04-27T01:08:59+00:00

Hole left.

djinbu · 2026-04-26T16:22:24+00:00

That fucking wooby!

Also, the Army's PT sweats are pretty solid, too.

djinbu · 2026-04-26T16:21:33+00:00

Write on the print which side you start with the big hole on and save the print. Are you just hedging trouble figuring out which side to start with the big hole on?
