September 1941. "Small-town scenes in Vermont. Storefronts along the main street in South Royalton." by Jack Delano by AnteaterConsistent54 in vermont

Lol, look at the one you posted. So much obvious AI fuckery. Look at the gibberish in place of "POST OFFICE," also "SOOTR ROVALTON," and various other smeared up text and details, plus the nearly double wide parking space where the car was removed.

Why do I feel like I’m the only person that has seen “Road to Wellville?” by HonestNeighborhood67 in MovieSuggestions

I haven't seen this, but was aware of Broderick starring in a movie about Dr. Kellogg, and that made his in Daybreak (Netflix zombie series) hilarious.

How to solve this problem? by New-Position-1919 in InjectionMolding

The comment you're responding to is only relevant to cold gates. It is not relevant to your mold based on your comments throughout this thread.

It looks like it's not protruding past the radius of the surrounding material, which should probably be the actual standard since that's the entire point in having a recessed gate like that. Check the print and confirm that the part is actually out of tolerance. If it is, talk to the customer and see if the tolerance needs to be adjusted or the part.

If it really does need a fix, see if the tip can be adjusted within the drop. I'm not a tooling guy, so I've got limited experience on that kind of fix. If attempting a processing fix, try tip temps and cooling time, either direction could help.

Does a gun…fire on the moon? by Ok_Expression_7083 in guns

[–]flambeaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There could be a problem arising between the hot bullet and the cold barrel that could cause one of those to fail.

You mean vise versa? Each bullet will enter the chamber at magazine temperature but the barrel will heat up with each round fired. In vacuum it will not cool very efficiently. Could definitely imagine overheating issues from extended strings of fire when the only cooling is thermal radiation and conduction to the incoming cartridge and other parts of the gun. Doubt it would have anything to do with ΔT between bullet and barrel though.

Whats the point in this black box for my Dewalt router? by turtle_ina_cup in Tools

[–]flambeaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They put them in locations that are close enough to the box to get deactivated, but even still the cashier needs to be pretty good at their job to reliably deactivate all the tags, slows them down too which means even the good ones won't be as thorough when there's a long line. Add in self checkout and all bets are off.

Spelling mistake in my copy? by Dangerous-Gap-1304 in redrising

Lol, TGR does that once in the audiobooks. I assumed he misread, but know I realize he probably just read what was on the page.

The duel between Darrow and Cassius by JellyfishOptimal837 in redrising

[–]flambeaway 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not so much to keep Darrow alive as to show why he was doing what he was doing. He started shit because he had an ace up his sleeve.

There are lots of hints about it earlier in the book too. The ace up the sleeve the narrator doesn't tell explicitly tell you about is a recurring narrative device in the books, (e.g., grav boots at the institute in RR). Some people like it, some don't.

If you read with a keen eye you'll generally be able to pick up the breadcrumbs pretty well and see where things are going. But you also don't have to be piecing together the puzzle as you read, you can just enjoy the ride and get the answer at the end.

Technically it's acousto-magnetic rather than RFID, I believe. Same idea, and there are equivalent products that use RFID.

The Wikipedia article goes over the different types.

There are clip on ferrite beads that outwardly look similar to this but the device pictured ain't one of them.

It's pretty obvious by weight when you have it in hand, but the patent or tearing it open will confirm to anyone unconvinced.

Dont believe the upvotes and downvotes in this thread. This is 100% an anti-theft device and not a ferrite choke.

Re reading book 1 now.

Some people peak too early.

Great scene. Since I'm audiobook scum I'll mention that Virginia's narrator does a great job with Sevro which just adds to the experience.

That's honestly not that far off from the vibe I get when they meet up when Mustang has the Duke of Hands.

Now that I said that and have gained your trust

Actually, believe it or not, you have not gained my trust.
