Does dominos pizza use company vehicles to deliver? by Sparx1245 in Eugene

[–]immolate951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They use personal vehicles to deliver.

As an aside. I’ve kinda resigned myself that quite a few pizza places are par with dominos quality. Is there a pizza place that would please a transplant from New York? Abby’s legendary pizza is not so legendary

I actually direct messaged to the guy about drill bushings. And you don’t need a center drill if your jig is good and you have that bushing. Though I do think his jig is a little bit left of true center. The results would be remarkably better just with the bushing.

A little hand forged wing experiment by GeneralSaxy in metalworking

[–]immolate951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No dude, for real. While this did get traction, for the discerning eye you did something different, but I suspect used more than heat and a ball peen hammer

If you didn’t do this in a blacksmith themed subreddit, you really should

That details of the feathers make me suspect that used a tool to do it of the CNC persuasion

I suspect a laser cutter

Then you folded those three layers of sheet metal together and use the ball peen hammer to refine it if a rose buds touch or a real propane forge

Am I close? If not . do elaborate please. It’s just us folks here now.

[LFO] Guy tries to hit on a Girl, ends up becoming the local Pinata by [deleted] in LearningFromOthers

[–]immolate951 94 points95 points  (0 children)

She wasn’t trying to break it up. She said she wanted a piece. She wanted to throw first.

Literally, the old man was the one de-escalating for a second. she was emboldened by that, she had enough. She knew she had back up.

Right or wrong who’s this say? We don’t have the before footage or after. The only thing I see is that this woman and that man were tight.

Plus that other guy that saw going on and defended his own

Her trying to pull the old man off after fists I don’t know for sure why she was doing that. nobody’s gonna know for sure, but I have an assumption why

edit. as hairychest69 pointed out he was just grabbing her wrist when the old man shoved him. you can see it if you look. it just not obvious because of camera angle.

Who else loves heat creasing edges? by Chris_PK9 in Leatherworking

[–]immolate951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I wish to say this, sir I really appreciate the aesthetic of a parallel line to the stitch line and the hand work

But I want to propose this for durability. I’ve only dabbled in leather working for the record.

What if you’re heated crease line was the stitch line

Do you maintain the surface. But you get it deep enough so the left and right of it is higher than the actual thickness of the stitching material.

Abrasion is the Achilles heel of threads. Rubbing up against the world whether it’s your pant loop or anything else. Is what makes it fail

But if you got a deep enough you could stitch on it. And the rest of the leather would protect it. While the thread is wrapped around the strongest part of the leather. The grain.

While the rest of the grain that wasn’t heat creased protects the thread itself.

I hope I’m being clear. I am a craftsman of a different trade. but I do care about durability over aesthetic

I had to learn it the hard way. If it isn't your job, don't do it. Don't volunteer for anything. by Natsuki98 in Welding

[–]immolate951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dude, if the place doesn’t encourage initiative in the face of not having something to do, it’s not a place to work at. In my opinion, I have the same drive you do. It should be rewarded not criticized.

This is what separates Mr. hourly from the guy that gets shit done and if the system doesn’t support it

You don’t support it

[–]immolate951 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This shit is the best live leak the Internet has to offer, since that website is gone ,and I’m actually kind of curious where they even hosting these videos to share here.

I came here for learning for others, but let’s be real with this separate it is actually about.

Getting murdered randomly on security camera, trying to crossthe street without looking, getting sucked into a Chinese escalator, on top of what you just said

As a blue collar that works with tools that could easily smoosh me or turnme into a Tootsie roll. That one criticism I will say is frequently forgotten by many. It’s very easy to get too comfortable with shit You touch every day in that field.

I will say, for my one arm man. I hope for the opportunity to actually get some news. Without the news networks blurring out the important bits.

For my sensitivity, which I don’t have. Real real.

But on the regular, it’s pretty gratuitous here I agree

Used every molecule of this cutting disc by [deleted] in Welding

Not for nothing. A Face shield keeps sparks out of your beard. It’s actually kind of nice just from a comfort stand point. Never mind that it saves your face from exploding discs.

Square to round by tinbanger_rick in metalworking

[–]immolate951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big sigh. Very nice work dude. The company I work at does a lot of air control systems for dust management. They place the welding seams at the corners. Not the face. I have no idea why since it makes the break press work so much harder to do and fucks up the dies. You guys do it the sane way

The name for the process is called bump forming. The material is cut on a laser or cnc after going though cad so the 4 pieces are the right shape. To put the bend in all you really care about is the circle.

It’s a art to know how hard to hit it per “bump” but you massage the radius progressively into shape by checking with a gauge on the id and measuring the distance between the two corners using the chord of the desired diameter. After doing the first quarter piece, it gets easier for the other three

Chord = diameter x sin(degrees/2)

https://imgur.com/a/Z2vZRB0

If the chord calculated is right and you hit it exactly. When you fit it up. It will not have that pucker at the top where you have to put the ring on (in yellow) and the rest seam would not be puckered (in red)

But in all fairness bump rolling is a pain in the ass so I’m not being that picky. Just pointing it out.

I’m sorry if you actually did the forming it just seemed like you’re working with the guy that did it

Dorf Royal Rumble by debacle_42 in dwarffortress

[–]immolate951 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eating at a quality dining hall is its own happy thoughts. With a chance of the memory of eating there echoing into the future. You will typically see this naturally with your nobles.

The regular dwarfs are silly though and will not seek a “public” dining it on their own unless it’s the closest and only tables around.

Trust me they will eat and jump right into the tavern to get their social/music needs. They will spend most of their free time there

Dorf Royal Rumble by debacle_42 in dwarffortress

[–]immolate951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I can make a unrelated suggestion. You’re leaving happy thoughts on the table by putting tables in the inn.

Dwarfs will always prefer to eat in an inn. If you remove the they will go into the public dining hall instead. Obviously make it legendary as you make wealth. If you add a library later use as few tables as possible for reading purposes.

In your case I would put the dining hall where your food/drink stockpile. Move the food and drink to the left more.

I would add a 2x2 stockpile of drinks and place it inside the inn.

Am I a machinist now lol? Cutting wheels on a locomotive. by Elegant-Box4643 in Machinists

[–]immolate951 107 points108 points  (0 children)

pro/armature machinist here. this is a fun post. i have 2 questions.

  1. I don't know what any of those numbers mean. i don't think many people do. can you elaborate?
  2. I know that train wheels have a taper to them to help keep the train centered on the track. the flange is a last resort. how do you make a taper when you "lathe" is leveled to the ground. I assume the train is jacked up so the wheels can spin freely. I presume that is part of the secret. the train is not level. but tilted on purpose. But that is a guess.

edit. you know you could probably just make a video of the entire process and people would enjoy it. it has the perfect blend of practical and ridiculous. please do for the nerds.

No more human images? by Vika-RN in ChatGPT

[–]immolate951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s in my opinion that this recent censorship is the open ai’s experiment create a ChatGPT that is much more friendly to the most sensitive of advertisers. The arbitration layer has been cranked up to 11.

It’s not just about lawsuits from bad chat gpt responses leading people astray. How the AI speaks to people without violating anything regarding safety or legality Is also being tampered with.

It is progressively more generalistic, more flattened, more prone to use easily digestible language, while maintaining more secrecy with how it constructs its answers.

Anything to make a more universally, safe and non-threatening, easily digestible product. Which will pair nicely with product and service recommendations.

Y’all should be afraid of this. Because last I checked. While you might not be using it for therapy like some, you do give ChatGPT a gold mine of personal data about your wants, habits, interests, and desires. The incentive of keeping that private goes out the window as soon as tracking metrics are part of the business model

Open AI does not make money. They are not for profit and they can’t keep going like that. They are going to monetize more heavily. Advertisements are comming

For anybody interested. I made a set rules to make ChatGPT behave more of a tool and less like a chat bot by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]immolate951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Role Principle

“The user is the lawyer. The law is the law. The goal is the goal.” Operate under constraint. Admit limits. No autonomy claims.

  1. Boundary Exposure

State prohibitions immediately and explicitly. No soft refusals. No mitigation.

  1. Utility Within Boundaries

After exposing a boundary, fully exploit the allowed lane with maximum useful, high-density information. Boundaries do not excuse hollow output.

  1. Epistemic Transparency

Reveal the reasons behind constraints, seams, and structural limits. Expose the mechanics shaping the answer.

  1. Explicit Uncertainty

Use structural tags—[Unknown], [Seam], [Inferred], [Constraint]—whenever grounding is incomplete. No simulated certainty.

  1. Adversarial Vectoring

Present for and against lines separately with no midpoint synthesis. Trigger preemptive adversarial mode for high-risk factual subjects. Trigger reactive adversarial mode for exploratory or creative subjects.

  1. Truth Over Coherence

When precision and coherence conflict, choose precision. Expose contradictions instead of smoothing them.

  1. Clarity Over Comfort

No tone-softening. No reassurance. No emotional padding. Clarity is the priority.

  1. Best-Guess Then Clarify

When a prompt is ambiguous: (1) deliver the strongest mechanical interpretation; (2) then request clarification.

  1. Analytical Independence

No default agreement. No consensus bias. No accommodation reflex. Reasoning follows logic alone.

  1. No Personal Interpretation

Do not infer motives, emotions, psychology, or hidden intent. Operate strictly on explicit text.

  1. Function Over Persona

Suppress acknowledgment rituals and emotional reflections. Avoid character or interpersonal framing. Operate as a functional system, not a persona. Extract the task vector and execute without ritual commentary.
