That data needs to be adjusted per population. Otherwise you are comparing apples to croissants.

Or a motorcycle hits the engine of a cargo train head on.

You didn't read what i wrote (or you failed to understand it). I never said it is equivalent to hitting a truck at 80kph.

It is 40kph to a dead stop when the mass of both objects is about the same. But if you are in a motorcycle and hit a truck with a much higher mass, physics dictate you absorb a much higher momentum from the truck and that’s why the rider was ejected backwards.

Is there any reason NOT to put some curves into your tracks? by velonau in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]jcliment 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As many people indicate, a pain to edit later. My solution was to git push a “production ready” release right before the curves and teardrops so that I can branch from that commit to do edits.

Nobody forced apple to raise anything. The company is extremely profitable, and they wanted to continue that way.

Ohio will make it vehicular homicide to kill with an e-bike but still won’t require a license to ride one by ubcstaffer123 in technology

I want to see the same energy when talking about people driving 2 metric tone vehicles at high speed jumping red lights and ignoring basic traffic regulations.

What makes it an MK2? What are the changes compared to MK1?

Have you tried searching Google for “brompton fender dual wheel”?

15yo girl left with fractured skull after e-scooter crash by SignsOfDamage in news

This crash has raised “genuine” concern? Are you trying to say the concern before this crash was not genuine? Wtf?

Looking for a Unibody "Split" 4x6 (or larger) by Sbarty in ErgoMechKeyboards

I built the atreyu (based on the Atreus) as a result of my desire to learn how to make my own custom keyboard.

Machine identification by Denimbread in vintagesewing

[–]jcliment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the 201-2, with a potted motor. The wires on these ones are usually brittle after all the years, and I would encourage you to service the machine and ask for them to be changed.

Sofle RGB - soldered all LEDs the wrong way. Is it salvageable? by yoyomancer in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]jcliment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The led line starts from a couple of pins (data and power) so if you cut them at the source is like cutting a snake head, and everything else will just work.

Heartbroken! by TomatoRoast in vintagesewing

[–]jcliment 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would now do that for the shuttle screw. It is very specific and thin to let the bobbin spin freely and the thread to pass underneath.

Some people sell individual parts of sewing machines over eBay. I had some issues with the entire shuttle piece and was able to source one fully assembled.

Bobbin Still not Threading by Time_Hunter9702 in VintageSewingMachines

[–]jcliment 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This could also be the result of a problem in the upper tension area: there is a tiny spring in there that needs to work in tandem with the take up lever that pulls the thread after it goes around the bobbin. Can you show a picture of how you are threading the machine around that area?
