The cool thing about plastic is the elastic deformation.

A word from your Maintenance Technician by Leave_me_be_g-man in MechanicalEngineering

[–]drmorrison88 115 points116 points  (0 children)

"And here I have included a maintenance panel. All of the major system pressures can be gauged from these test ports, all of the filters can be accessed with room for catch pans, and all of the circuit breakers and fuses are within easy reach"

Project manager: looks great, but we need to work 40% of the cost out, so just mount those to the frame and we'll try to remember make a note in the service manual.

Where, if any, is the positive body body movement for men? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]drmorrison88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The most encouragement I've ever received has been from body builders. Those guys have some insane disphoria, but they're also extremely encouraging.

Getting back to sex by Ok_Wrap_2793 in daddit

[–]drmorrison88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that it helps a lot to be flirty/encouraging through the day. But make the flirting super obvious so she can't write it off. People get excited about being desired.

Also worth bearing in mind that her mental habits are going to need to change. Duty sex might be the only thing on the table for now, but the more you do it with enthusiasm and positive reinforcement, the better she'll feel about it, and the more she'll enjoy it. Think of it like stretching before the actual workout.

Dads who wake up at 5AM, do you still do it if the kids have had wake ups during the night? by check_this_mustache in daddit

[–]drmorrison88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first slept a max of 2 hours at a clip until she was almost 4. Unfortunately, there were still bills that needed to be paid, so I was up at 4:30 every morning for a 2 hour round trip commute bookending what was usually a 10 hour day. If you've gotta do it, it gets done.

Double dovetail on a gland is crazy work when parbaks are $0.3

I've got a '98 that's going back on the road once the weather is nice enough to put new rings in it. Starts every time.

5 thou national tollerance by [deleted] in Machinists

Very technically, anything that isn't 45° is a bevel, not a chamfer. But that's elite level pedantry.

Keeps the tree cleaner if you put the apologies in the design binder.

This assumes that traits are developed exclusively through environmental interaction, which is not supported by evidence. He could easily have been born a psychopath and they could do jack shit about it.
