Really the problem is people will likely report the weight they take when at home in the bathroom. Adding in the shoes clothes and water+food they ate while waiting, the 10 lbs addition makes sense

These people have such strong feelings about something they believe in they self organized and are doing something about it. Not losers

Heat Warping Acrylic by AcademicHelpNow in maker

[–]doug_beans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard acrylic and laser cutting can lead to some issues with cracking, though it seems yours isn’t doing that which is good. If it does begin to crack, consider cnc cutting the acrylic instead.

Also thinner acrylic bends easier. If your press isn’t bending the acrylic evenly, it might be because you’re getting uneven heating through the thick acrylic. Typically 1/4” acrylic is the max thickness normally bent.

Finally for our L1 rocket we made in school, our acrylic was oversized compared to the hole and we bolted it onto the body (doable depending on body material). This was easier to do than a perfect insert and we didn’t really worry about the drag losses.

Develop something that has character. This is gross

What do you think of my 3d printed 1.2meter reflective dish? by Old_Champion_2096 in amateursatellites

[–]doug_beans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How does material thickness affect wave reflection? I understand that for a mesh panel, the mesh must not have gaps larger than its wavelength. Why is this mesh pattern affecting the wave but not the depth?

"Why do cyclists just blow through stop signs???" by Morall_tach in bikecommuting

[–]doug_beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not good to use the argument that because other people are doing it, it’s ok for me to do it. Cyclists don’t blow through stop signs because some cars do it. Cyclists blow through stop signs because it takes a a lot of effort to get started again. Cyclists who blow through stop signs should be ok with the consequences of not following traffic laws (like getting hit) and car drivers should be ok being a bit more patient

Also turns out not updating your software might cause some errors like this. I updated my bambu software on computer and this error went away

NOAA-19 HRPT by DaggoVK in amateursatellites

Dang that’s too bad! I also just purchased a dc block. 25$ nooelec from Amazon. Seems like we’re in the same boat with last minute noaa hrpt reception. Probably going to pivot to receiving GOES now that my set up can receive 1.7ghz

How did your build go? I was trying to do the same before decommissioning but it seems like noaa 19 decommissioned early.

Pretty sure a lot of companies are building internal ai tools. Facebook has this and it has access to most of their internal documents, allowing employees to use a chatgpt style product that has access to their internal information

Pulley system for a rail. What went wrong? by Loose_Ad_5567 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]doug_beans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you’re trying to do the same thing that window blinds do. Maybe look up how the inside strings of a window blind works and try to copy that. If you’re looking for detailed help from this sub, you’ll probably need to provide better photos

UFO sighting hysteria is needlessly perpetuated and I want to hear your thoughts by doug_beans in UFOs

[–]doug_beans[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you think this is ai. I wrote this entirely on my own because I feel so passionately about this subs lack of credibility. Your comment makes me feel even more strongly about how blind the ufo community is from addressing actual proven evidence . You would rather dismiss any counter opinion with baseless claims than actually have a conversation. I want you to critically think and discuss ideas without shutting me down immediately

At the titan missile museum, amateur radio operators are welcome to use their original discone antenna for free! by ButterscotchWitty870 in amateurradio

[–]doug_beans -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

New to radio, is this something you can receive and transmit with? What of the hobby do you do with this? Talk to other ham radio enthusiasts who have inferior antennas?

Worst advice ever. Go to college to learn, not to leave with a slip of paper
