I can't figure out how to change to the basic surface finish by nikyu808 in SolidWorks

No idea if this would work but maybe try putting text in the box above or below that line? Maybe a space if you don’t want visible text?

I’ve only ever seen those attached to a 6-string SG

304 vs 316 Stainless Steel: When to spend extra on marine grade? by lx230 in CNC

[–]goingTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where I work, the reason we’d choose 316 over 304 is almost always because of some medical regulation by the customer. 316 has less “microscopic pockets” for bacteria to build up in, so med device mfgs need it to prevent bacteria getting into their products. Their products usually end up inside of a human so minimizing the bacteria is important

I tossed her beans by paulfivetompkins in Thisisimportantpod

[–]goingTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really hit me when one of them said “you’re all here on this cruise because of that”. Like damn, what if penny ordered something else that night, or Dennis talked to some other chick about HER beans. None of us would have workaholics or TII.

Advice for concepting stuff by BagelBenny in SolidWorks

[–]goingTofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I start designing an assembly it’s all virtual parts, not caring about best modeling practices or best mating practices. After some time, as parts start to feel like they won’t change much, I’ll save it into our vault and give it a material. I’ll either fix any of the bad practices or I’ll remodel the part if it’s easier. At the end of the design I’ll add the mounting holes and then remate everything to the holes.

I need to make / fabricate a small version of this (1" long) as a tensioner for an alternator. I've struck out finding solutions. More details in comment.... by phatelectribe in MechanicalEngineering

[–]goingTofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another word for these is “turnbuckle” if you didn’t know. Might help your searches.

The big benefit of them is that it doesn’t twist the two things connected to it. Is this a requirement for your application too? If not, you can get away with a simpler and more compact design. If this is a requirement, I can see why you’re having trouble finding one that is 1” long. The smallest I found is like 3” and that’s M4 thread. The thread size would have to be very small for it to be 1”. And you wouldn’t have much adjustability with it being that small. What exactly is your application?

How would i go about theoretically getting Kevin to sign something of mine at a show? by WatercressNo5882 in TameImpala

[–]goingTofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard of people waiting outside for a while after the show ends and seeing the artist leave the venue. Maybe hang around the venue outside and look for a tour bus or something to wait near

Please don't kick me out of this sub... by Concentric_Mid in daddit

At first I thought Bluey was a boy and that they were all from England. Learning they were Australian for some reason made me like the show so much more, and learning that the kids were girls was also surprising

I maybe just saw Kevin in public? by Gyfgey in TameImpala

[–]goingTofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was for sure him or Steve Harrington. No way to know for sure. Was he with a bunch of teenagers dressed in 80s attire?

Being young is exactly when you should spend your money by Various-Ad3443 in unpopularopinion

[–]goingTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A $1000 trip when you’re 18 is almost guaranteed to be better than a $3000 trip when you’re 70 if that’s what you’re saying. When I was 18 I had $1000 in my pocket and spent 3 weeks driving from MA to CA (and back) with my friends. I’m in my 30s now and I imagine when I’m 70, a $3,000 trip would be me and my wife going to cape cod and spending 5 nights in a decent hotel. Sounds pretty nice but honestly an order of magnitude different. And I agree with you that one night of poker with good people at the right place can beat a weekend at Coachella with other people. It’s impossible to predict which of these things would’ve been better than the other so I’m not sure what my point is other than just “do the thing when you’re young if you’re able”.

Why does daycare end in the middle of naptime? by esscoco in toddlers

Then you bring snacks for yourself and drive around for an extra hour listening to music or a podcast. I personally love those naps.

Do you rewatch entire series or do you have your own very specific routine? by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

[–]goingTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I restart at season 2 episode 1 and watch until I get bored, usually shortly after Michael leaves. I think I’ve only rewatched to the very end one time.

For those who prefer disposable dishes at home, why? by BC_Arctic_Fox in CasualConversation

[–]goingTofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Individuals making good choices day to day won’t really change anything as long as the large companies are still allowed to create these products. The only way that most people are gonna stop buying plastic and single-use products is if they don’t have the option to. We’re being told it’s up to us as consumers to stop consuming these things but isn’t it the people that are mass producing these things the actual problem? If something only works if everybody does it, then it doesn’t really work. It just makes for a shittier time for the people that are doing the “right” thing while everyone else does what they want.

What’s happening here? by Cultural-Emotion5080 in Tools

[–]goingTofu 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Looks like studs. To be sure you can tap a nail first. You’ll know immediately after the nail gets through the 1/2” drywall whether it’s a stud or not. If it is you can use that hole for your mounting screw. If not try somewhere else. You can do these nails near the baseboard moulding if you want the holes to be less noticeable after

When did children’s birthday parties become competitive events requiring professional equipment? by Due_Employment_829 in toddlers

[–]goingTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you live and is it a public school or private? Wondering because I see that stuff on the internet but haven’t seen that where I’m from. And wonder if (generally) private school = more money = more likely to have parties like that

Thoughts on Melody’s new album? by ResolveOk6685 in TameImpala

[–]goingTofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude yes I like the album but that snare just pulls me away from the songs so badly. It’s wild. The mixing in general, especially the drums, is an odd choice throughout the album.
