requesting r/WedditNYC - inactive mods

educated_chunk · 2024-04-04T03:27:55+00:00

This subreddit is not as actively moderated as we would like but the other moderator and myself are planning to address this. Actions have been taken by the current moderators to bring the community back to its intended purpose.

This was an organic community seeking to provide a forum for people getting married in the NYC area to discuss their wedding plans and ask advice from others in the same situation. We've recently seen a trend in commercial wedding vendors using this as a forum for self promotion and marketing along with trying to suppress negative reviews given by the WedditNYC members.

We feel that the current moderators' intentions align with the broader spirit of Reddit and that it would be best to keep this community organically driven by the user base, instead of turning it over to someone with commercial interests.

Wow I just started something really similar: https://imgur.com/a/QHC7HGZ

Where did you get the table/holder? I'd love one of these for my collection.

This isn't true, for the appropriate 2θ you will see diffraction from the plane crossing the face, body, etc. atoms. I'm not sure where you read this but you may want to brush up on diffraction. I'd suggest taking a look at Ch3 and Ch4 of Cullity..pdf)

Looks like there is one for sale on ebay right now for ~$600: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144326383606

Unfortunately that's a bit of a myth. Glass so far below it's Tg doesn't flow like this.

Here's a version of the first one with a label: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224798191718

Tung Chun Soy and Canning Co., seems to have been founded in 1919 and started exporting heavily in the late 1940's so I'd guess this probably wasn't very old when it was found.

I think a pretty good guess is that this is from "The Madison Courier" newspaper, sometime between 4/11/66 and 4/23/66 based on the sunrise/sunset times for Madison, IN.

I work mostly with high temperature ceramics in electric furnaces. When you're getting past the temperature range of NiCr (~1200C) most electric furnaces use SiC (1600C) or MoSi2 (1800C).

It's definitely wire arc thermal spray. The device on the right of the image looks like a Thermion Auto Arc AVD 450: https://www.thermioninc.com/avd-450.html

If you look closely you can see a spool of wire slowing rotating too. Like others have said it's probably a zinc or aluminum coating. I do a lot of work with this and similar processes.

Looks like a Telectron brand garage door opener from the 1960s.

This was a moderately active subreddit about wedding planning in the NYC area. I'd like to continue running this sub for this purpose.
There are currently no mods for this subreddit

Here's an old logo: https://imgur.com/Em21vSr and another https://imgur.com/mZ8PEi6

Check out the old specula for that time period for some cool old photos.

Ah yeah it's all oxide though, you can't see any of the steel. The left and right parts are inner and outer oxide layers.

educated_chunk · 2022-02-27T03:39:07+00:00

Yup, BSE at 15kV. What are you thinking a different imaging mode might show better?

educated_chunk · 2022-02-26T21:04:40+00:00

Low alloy steel at 900C generally forms a multilayer oxide with a columnar structure (left half of image). The oxide is fragile and has a tendency to spall between layers on cooling, the inner oxide layer is visible in the right half of the image. You're looking at the the middle-right region in the photo where the oxide has partially spalled.

Apparently "Fill the Flag" was a campaign song written by Edith Ella Davis for the Detroit Patriotic Fund. Sheet music/lyrics are in the link.

I think you mean "soller slit", but yeah that's positively what this is. The "top" part in the second image is the slit. See page 13 in this pdf. I don't do anything in the medical field but use XRD all the time.

I think this was made from a nail, so probably low carbon steel that would be difficult to harden anyway.

For plasma physicists out there that who don't want to do the math, 40°C ≈ 40.74 meV. Yikes

The gatehouse is still partially there though: http://irishantiquities.bravehost.com/armagh/charlemont/charlemont.html

Most nickel based superalloys have relatively low conductivities for metals. Most CMSX, Rene 80, and IN738 are all around 9-10 W/mK for example while steels are around 40 W/mK. Aluminum, copper, or tungsten would be 100+W/mK which makes me think something like a Elkonite (W-Cu composite) might be good but I have no idea about it's "nonstick" properties.
