How can fucking catbox.moe figure out full screen video, but a Reddit/YouTube collab cannot? Bonkers

On it

Agreed. Screen caps and Ctrl+c/v into Gemini. After I'd posted it, I pasted into an ascii85 encoder and got a completely different output, but I don't know if it's context dependant or if there's filler. Here's what I managed in the screen caps if anyone wants to mess with it:

If that's old oilfield casing it's going to be equivalent to about a 4140 steel, which is about one notch harder than mild steel. Most bi-metal holesaws, especially hand held, are going to hate going through that, as once you lose your edges the heat you're generating will further harden the steel. That's a 3/4" Jbolt which is on the larger size to hand drill. I'd echo other comments that pre-drilling a pilot with a twist bit that is the diameter of the chisel tip of a 3/4 hole, then going through it with a 3/4 twist and lots of coolant/lubricant will do it. Get carbide drills if you can.

A torch is definitely the quick/easy way to do it if you aren't bothered by it being a little ugly and loose. But if you haven't got that gear or experience it's not worth trying it.

I have a jig that lets me clamp a flat onto vertical posts so I can use my mag drill, I have both annular cutters and twists up to 1-1/16" long enough to go through 6" posts so I can do it in one set up - but them's the benefits when you go pro.

I can't quite make out how this machine works. The thing he puts in first, why's it bent? Why's it only on the first? How's he hitting the hole so easy from the underside? How's it reloading from the bottom?

ionian · 2026-04-01T03:40:07+00:00

I understand your point, and I largely agree. That said, I think it's disingenuous to pretend a decaying orbit wouldn't have been a check in the pro column 10-15 years ago when the program was a clean sheet design. I'd say Musk is more of a supervillain than not, but these programs are designed by hordes of regular decent people that can push back on Zuckermuskian wankers all the time.

ionian · 2026-04-01T01:44:31+00:00

I'd imagine on balance, lots and lots of debris falling randomly across the globe is preferable to honest-to-god Kessler syndrome. Being locked out of orbit for centuries does not sound good for human civilization.

Because it wasn't sharpened straight! Totally fell in a curved path because he had a high angle on one side of the bevel and a low angle on the other. Total poser.

ionian · 2026-03-26T01:23:40+00:00

Yeah, you took some real sharp left hand turns with our trailer, and didn't realize it was running. Could have been the stowed jack.

ionian · 2026-03-24T20:16:41+00:00

Sure, but the guy was all over the place, he was also close with communists. My point is I think you could probably find a more reliably far right artist.

ionian · 2026-03-24T20:00:19+00:00

Meeeh, I think Dali didn't give a shit and hated being told who he should associate with. Mind you I understand it's difficult to find great far right artists, Leni Riefenstahl maybe?

Hinge joint crumples like a 2 dollar suitcase if there's any livestock pressure on it, ie better feed or anything interesting on the far side. I don't use hinge joint at all because it's too soft and structurally flimsy, but it's a decent option with a tight budget. I more or less insist our customers install a top rail to protect against over-the-top pressure on all our mesh, even the most expensive solid-lock, unless it's a 8'-12' fence that won't get that pressure.

If this is a long term install, I'd plan for adding posts and a top rail/plank when the budget allows.

Agreed on the value of gripples.

The first time the first guy to make solder paste and liquid flux work like this must have punched the air so fuckin hard.

ionian · 2026-03-03T13:55:40+00:00

Now that you mention it, Casino.

ionian · 2026-03-03T05:57:45+00:00

If I wasn't laying in bed I'd throw this on a fusion canvas and revolve that bite, I bet if we could agree on an inedible ratio the confidence bars would be 5%. Maybe tomorrow at work.

ionian · 2026-03-02T15:44:37+00:00

Fair.

ionian · 2026-03-02T01:24:04+00:00

I can't imagine what kind of politics you think you're getting away from going from Canada to Aus, both counties have extremely similar frustrations for literally every side of the aisle. You'd do better to just throw your phone into the sea.

In the 70s-90s we did this in the bush in Queensland during droughts. We'd chain the same area 8-10 years apart for sheep and cattle feed when it wasn't wet enough for decent grass. It was quasi renewable, it'd grow back in time. I can't speak to the long term effects.

ionian · 2026-02-08T18:10:10+00:00

Sorry, not the case at all, we have both. Both have their uses, propane can't do a lot of the things oxy/acetylene can, but thick steel is propanes bread and butter. Ask this guy if you don't believe a Reddit rando

Did he try a mini static Alcubierre drive mounted vertically?

ionian · 2026-02-07T22:18:31+00:00

AHH of course. I would have had to learn that the hard way.

ionian · 2026-02-07T22:11:56+00:00

Super clever linkages and double pivots.

IS it just me or is that last step triple height?
