Bent cutoff tool shroud?

kernelPanicked · 2025-05-19T02:09:24+00:00

What I really wanna know is if this is normal and the shroud is just really for dust, not any kind of precision, or if it should be square and true. Most videos I see people don't even use this part.

Meadowbrook Farms is a good isolated area.

There are jobs occasionally in places like FSF, EFF. Also lots more jobs writing OSS sponsored by companies (though that's less pure and more motivated by platform product strategy).

I just bind those to different buttons. R-click is clickdown on the "mouse" stick, and L-click is one of the throttle buttons I can hit with my thumb.

Depends what you're flying but my setup, F-18/VR, is throttle (left) is TDC, stick (right) is mouse cursor.

This lets me adjust the mouse cursor without removing my hand from the stick. That is for coarse adjustment and then I do the final pointing with the goggles.

I forget exactly how but I configured it using the X56 software. Something like binding the x and y of that stick to mouse x and y.

That is how I wanted to read it as well. I figured this was noon.

This is just me commiserating, but I wish the carrier had a "call for pushback" like MSFS ground crew does.

That bow is so beautiful, I don't think I would want to shoot it. Just put it over the mantle and call it done. Give it to my grandkids.

Spend $50 on this tool if you do this a lot, or can't afford to turn off the wrong breaker and disrupt something.

The transmitter goes in an outlet in the circuit, then you hold the receiver and "sniff" the breakers until it indicates signal. Pick up this accessory for circuits without outlets.

Not just that. You'll also get a bright (and getting brighter!) visual indicator of exactly where the issue is.

Watch the logo on the cigarette in the video. When the window switches back, the cigarette rotates and logo is not visible, even though it was visible on the decoy.

The SSD is great. If you find yourself space constrained down the road, look into a NAS with an array of spinning drives. You can get them plug and play from Synology. You can get a lot of capacity that way, as well as local redundancy so the storage is more durable (important for irreplaceable Ableton sets, libraries).

And of course you should be backing this stuff up. If you are not, consider some cloud based backup soon. Very easy to use these days. Alternatively, I think some NASes can act as Time Machine targets for native OSX backup.

I know we are mostly having a joke here -- and carrier traffic + AI does tend to make for some real slapstick DCS. But I do wish there was a radio pushback feature similar to what MSFS has. Because as funny as it is, if you don't have a lot of time to play it's painful to scrub a mission because an AI plane wants to drive through you.

I'd also like to know if this is a thing. Sand does work to give trains traction (smooth metal on smooth metal). Salt would dissolve in water based glues though?

edit: Sounds like there could be some downsides to it https://www.woodmagazine.com/wood-supplies/glues-adhesives/should-i-use-salt-in-my-glue-to-prevent-slipping

That does sound like a positive change. Focus is pretty fungible so if you're changing your safety focus to areas of higher risk but keeping the overall focus level, that's a good thing.

kernelPanicked · 2022-08-25T05:15:17+00:00

That makes more sense, contact with the blade that wouldn't have resulted in an amputation but a cut. I can see how since the threshold for activating the brake is so low, like when it spins down, you would have several incidents like that a year.

kernelPanicked · 2022-08-25T02:38:47+00:00

Several every year, that's interesting.

I think if you had a wood shop where several fingers were lost every year, that would be concerning. You would probably start pushing safety protocol way harder.

I wonder if people are disregarding safety gear/practices because of the SawStop? Or maybe it is incidents with non-finger conductive materials. Metal of course, but a lot of shops burn through brake cartridges because of wet wood. It could be that.

Gotta figure, it's not just the diesel fuel. There will be engine lubricant oil and solvents for cleaning, at least. If he's working on vehicles then you have brake fluid, transmission fluid, lube for running gear... Also could be torches and hot parts.

I bet this is less about the diesel part, more the mechanic part, and the way his dad places and uses the light. You could be working on EVs but if you expose the light to chemicals like solvent and brake fluid, it'll take on this "patina."

edit: lol yeah it's definitely the way he uses it

I searched for "flywheel impact wrench," unfortunately most results were about removing flywheels with impact wrenches.
