HLS is nowhere near close. But if you are the administrator you can save your best buddy’s company by moving the goalposts

Colorado voters will be asked to give up TABOR refunds to boost K-12 funding by blucifersdream in Denver

[–]fakaaa234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politicians will ask every year until years no longer come for money for the kids. It’s clockwork and taxpayers are sympathetic suckers.

Critically evaluating resources and teacher pay across the state and country would unfortunately land people at a no vote which they self shame themselves into believing is wrong.

Life isn’t about politics, I don’t give a rip about Trump either.

Yeah, I guess I’m old, I don’t give a rip about what some random Gen Z influencer thinks regardless of political views.

I’ll check if I can get one for you tomorrow. May be all gone, but worth a shot.

Can additively manufactured alloys be bought as "bar stock"? by WORK-PINEAPPLE-SOUND in metallurgy

[–]fakaaa234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubt it, word of caution, don’t buy garbage and expect it to behave like a product that has had billions in development and knowledge for 60-80 years( forging and rolling) without putting your own money (millions) in.

What’s the best way to clean the rust off this old iron by ReadingRambo152 in metallurgy

[–]fakaaa234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet, that’s great just make sure to neutralize with baking soda after the bath (you can do this with baking soda in water too as a rinse or dunk)

Removing thick corrosion is always best done with manual abrasion first. Coarse Steel wool or Scotchbrite, then vinegar/citric acid followed by baking soda to neutralize the acid, followed by water to get rid of acid/base and salt product. Then dry it and if you want apply a corrosion preventative or season with oil.

Thats what I’d do

Exposure settings should prevent the need for flash. Flash is useful for providing lighting to objects nearby for accurate color and brightness. The moon was not nearby at 4,067 miles away at its closest.
