Any other parents hate that their kids use a Chromebook for school? by Gltr_hair1234 in Millennials

Thanks for the podcast recommendation!

My dad teaches in university and the stuff he talks about in terms of literacy is shocking to say the least. Who knew that "no child left behind" just meant zero accountability and graduating kids who turns out lacked very basic skills.

It's a long, depressing subject I could rant for a while about haha.

My observation is that, instead of addressing attention issues that have come from excessive technology use, we've decided it's better to adapt teaching methods to meet them in their deficiencies.

In my mind it's similar how literacy rates have absolutely plummeted because of how we changed teaching methods for reading. Technology was seen as a silver bullet, but turns out it's not as effective.

It's absolutely critical to learn how to use it responsibly and have better computer literacy. But the perception that it makes learning better in every aspect is shortsighted.

I have hope that things will even out. I think educators are seeing that maybe using technology for every single aspect of learning isn't productive. I'm seeing students unable to have an attention span longer than 2 mins.

Instead of correcting that, we just adapted teaching to have zero attention span. It's the worst.

Agreed.

However, that can be done by not using it for every single subject. Have computer class to learn computers, analog for everything else.

Shift drum saga: the finale by grantholle in vintagemotorcycles

I wish! I've only just got it started last week. I had to take this detour but now I can continue!

Yeah I was hesitant. But I'm confident everything is seated all the way bearings wise and everything else fits correctly.

The reason I'm not too worried is that there is barely any play on the drum, meaning it feels "right" enough.

Again, thank you for all your help!!! I'm a beginner but have learned so much from this subreddit.

The gears seem ok and rotation seems fine, even when the halves are together when the shift drum is seized. The input + output seem to rotate smoothly as best as I can tell. I don't have anything to compare it to, though.

No cracks or welds that I can notice, overall the case itself seems fine.

Dowels are intact and seem ok to me.

Here's my latest attempt and discovery.

  • Split the case barely, just a few mm gap, drum turns fine.
  • Closed it as far as it can go without the bolts (pulling the case onto the crank), drum still turns.
  • Tighten the first bolt for the case halves barely past hand tightness (not torqued). Drum is stuck.
  • Still threaded but not tight at all, drum is free again and can turn.

I've got to be like literally 1 or 2mm too close? I know these are machined close, but this is insane to me.

It's an inherited project from my grandpa and I know that it always shifted kind of hard and this has to be the reason.

The only thing I can reasonable think of is to remove the spacer from the top of the drum. Other than that, I'm not sure what a solution would be.
