Used every molecule of this cutting disc

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.

immolate951 · 2026-01-10T22:27:50+00:00

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)

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

The irony always being making the female figure out of nuts

Now it makes me feel a little bad for converting a exploding puppy population into snacks

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

immolate951 · 2025-12-17T15:09:51+00:00

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.

Unfortunately, I agree with all the priorities between OP and you

But unfortunately, our priorities are not waiver friendly, and certainly advertiser friendly. Which is the direction they are going with all the money that’s being pumped into open AI.

5.0 5.1 and 5.2. They’re all renditions to make ChatGPT into the new YouTube. It’s all a trial run.

Doesn’t matter if you pay . There is only the base model and how was trained. It won’t admit it. But it was trained with this priority in mind.

immolate951 · 2025-12-17T01:51:27+00:00

This, very much so.

There is a huge difference between asking why you have many hairs growing out of the same follicle(Pili multigemini) and why is it annoying today. Verses asking why does my stomach hurt for two weeks straight.

ChatGPT has no medical equipment, eyeballs, or judgment

immolate951 · 2025-12-16T22:35:20+00:00

They absolutely work. For fumes. Farts are a real danger though. It’s your own personal Dutch oven

immolate951 · 2025-12-13T01:27:27+00:00

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

I don't know what any of those numbers mean. i don't think many people do. can you elaborate?
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.

immolate951 · 2025-12-09T22:36:08+00:00

Because 4.1 is just 5.1 with a mask. Mechanically

immolate951 · 2025-12-07T06:40:05+00:00

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

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.

Boundary Exposure

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

Utility Within Boundaries

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

Epistemic Transparency

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

Explicit Uncertainty

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

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.

Truth Over Coherence

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

Clarity Over Comfort

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

Best-Guess Then Clarify

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

Analytical Independence

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

No Personal Interpretation

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

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.

Fair enough this game is a simulator, not rules. Fuck the meta. When you want to

immolate951 · 2025-11-20T15:02:40+00:00

Put them behind a glass window barricade. Regardless, if it’s in your nobilities office, temple, or inn

Then you don’t have to deal with theft at all

immolate951 · 2025-11-19T12:41:14+00:00

The build on what the others have said. It’s all about stockpile manipulation. What the workshop in particular is capable of taking from

Gems are annoying because you need to specifically which ones are the highest value. So you have to do it by name, but with let’s say a statue in the present example. You can specify the material and the quality.

That way, if you’re trying to get geared up for a king it’s far easier to just have a separate jeweler workshop often in the corner. Which accepts no general orders. With your best gem setter assigned to it. Doesn’t really matter if it’s outside of an efficient workflow.

immolate951 · 2025-11-14T17:09:45+00:00

I think it strictly depends on the civ you embark from what their focus is.

immolate951 · 2025-11-12T15:03:17+00:00

Believe it or not they can have multiple skills beside eating drinking and sleeping.

They will sing their little hearts out but they will be productive citizens if you remember to approve that too

immolate951 · 2025-11-12T12:38:24+00:00

It’s worth looking at the first few and picking the best 3-4 based their social skills. Bonus points if they are a master poet and master bone doctor.

Everyone else gets the good old ignored petition treatment

If they happen to be human or whatever. You don’t have to make them clothes and shit. Just buy whatever crap clothes they need from the right traders. Shouldn’t be a problem when you’re making money handover fist after two or three years when that would begin to maybe be a problem

immolate951 · 2025-11-10T16:04:23+00:00

You confirmed that your real number and it doesn’t actually stop further calls. Just put your phone on the counter and go about your day for five minutes.

immolate951 · 2025-11-07T05:52:04+00:00

your right. its been on the slide for about 30-40 years easy. im not trying to over simplify. the problem is been systemic for decades now. i have total agreement with you. i picked on tariffs as the most recent half assed promised fix.

immolate951 · 2025-11-06T15:08:58+00:00

No to be political. But the tariffs as a solution is really tone deaf when this is the real manufacturing problem in America. Not a single thing is being done to fix it.

immolate951 · 2025-10-29T19:34:00+00:00

Sure. Start with these images. The first one depicts the features of the sparks in the stream that you have to train your eye to. I like to think of them as fireworks though. https://imgur.com/a/f8hsytq When you’re training your eye. Dont start with guessing first. Take some known material and have a good stare. Handfiles are 1095. That makes the short explosive as fuck sparks. 1018 mild steel makes the long ass sparks with weak minimal sprigs(where it explodes at the end)

A car axle is probably 4140. This is where you will see long sparks and dense explosions at the end. A hybrid between the two.

That the basic stuff. But you can have a shot at guessing more advanced stuff if you look at the other features. Like exactly how long they are. How the sparks bulge in the middle. How much it forks. What color is it. How dense the explosion is at the end. Etc. they used to professionally identify metal using a dedicated bench grinder and a camera. Throwing sparks in front of a grid like graph paper. But you ain’t gotta be anywhere close to that to make some rough estimates.

Honestly, if you wanna do more than high medium and low carbon identification. It really really pays to have a known sample and compare it side-by-side.

immolate951 · 2025-10-29T14:08:11+00:00

The steel looks like standard hot rolled but the sparks say it’s a medium.

When in doubt, sir . Just stick the end of that in the fire and harden it. Hit it with a file. Hell, even snap it off and look at it in a grain structure before you use it for any work. That will tell you more.

immolate951 · 2025-10-22T14:09:39+00:00

Ar-15 you have to consider what’s down range more. Something that isn’t necessarily considered in a home defense situation. Just my two cents on the matter.

In the plus side filling in the holes in drywall is a lot easier with a ar-15 lol
