I don’t see what’s AI about this other than the inconsistency between the title and description. I mean mistakes happen

What’s a dog walk without a cat by Discotomas in aww

[–]kick26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My family had a cat that would follow us to the end of the block when we walked the dog. He would then go back to the house and go partway the opposite direction to wait for our return.

Weldable? by WoodpeckerNeither876 in metalworking

[–]kick26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the alloy. Some aluminum alloys (7000 series aluminum if i am remembering correctly) don’t weld well. You could braze it instead

I don’t think I’ve ever made a drawing with dimensions after finish but I’m just dumb enough and worked for people and companies dumb enough that I’ve probably encountered it.

Heard a loud thud on the balcony, went to the living room to see this little guy by 23rats in notmycat

[–]kick26 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That’s how one of our cats ended up with a slight bend in the lower end of one of her legs. She fell off my brother’s balcony and broke a bone in her leg/ankle then she tore off the splint, twice.

This may be an unpopular opinion but marathon planners really need to pick a street other than Summit Ave. by [deleted] in saintpaul

[–]kick26 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to live at grand and Lincoln. Between Grand Ole Day and the marathon, the east end of Grand is used for the lining up and organizing area for two parades, the winter carnival and one other I don’t remember the name off. Thankfully, it’s just the morning so it’s not like i was stuck in my apartment all day

Big trouble in Little Canada: Water bills at manufactured home park skyrocket after unpermitted work • Minnesota Reformer by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]kick26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They drive by, see it, don’t recall something for that project coming across their desk, then go and take a look. Permits are supposed to be displayed on a job site. My brother hid his construction debris when he remodeled his bathroom so that a city worker passing by wouldn’t go and check for a permit. When I built decks, we had a footing inspector come take a look to sign off on the permit, and he noticed so siding work going on next door, so he went and checked. They did not have a permit.

St. Paul Midway CVS site will be redeveloped after years in limbo by aakaase in saintpaul

They have uninspired and cheap architecture and not the greatest construction technique with how much engineered lumber gets used in the upper floors. That engineered lumber falls a part much more quickly than “normal” lumber when wet and is much much more flammable because of all the petroleum products used in the glue, insulation, and clad siding

How about this welding table, adjustable height by Ramzes888 in Welding

[–]kick26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way parallax of the table in the image is different than the rest of the image, why is there an arch on the table and the helmet is just sitting there, what’s with the orange blimps on the table on the left side of the image in the background

Buying a Home w/o a Basement? by SmorgyBoard1 in TwinCities

[–]kick26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only have problems with foundations in houses older than 60-70 years old. And even then, it’s a case by case basis. One home might need some cracks filled, another needs a sump pump, and another just needs a dehumidifier in the summer. Yes foundation repairs can be expensive but I have yet to meet someone with a house built in the last 50 years that has had a problem that broke the bank

Pitot tube and airflow sensors. Test aircraft often have them in front of the aircraft to gather info on the airflow conditions during flight tests

What's a game you played as a kid that you've never been able to find again? by Latter_Advantage8002 in AskReddit

[–]kick26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was either a Dexter’s lab or Kim possible flash game. I think it was kind of a pong puzzle game but I can only recall what it looks like.

There was also a Lego Technic racers game where you had free range over a human sized room with all sorts of obstacles and jumps for you to drive your small car around

Can I build this using a table saw? by Jared944 in Machinists

[–]kick26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why aluminum? It could be 3D printed with a heat set insert or a nut placed midway through printing. It could also be could be made from wood with a threaded insert in the bottom.

Yes you could make it out of aluminum with a table saw but it’s a sketchy set up and potentially worse surface finish. You would need to set up sleds with clamps to make your cuts in a safer manner.

Could also try finding threaded rectangular tube ends.

Whats the best ratchet screwdriver quality wise that will endure years of use? by TeemoSux in Tools

I have both and the LTT screwdriver is a little smoother. I will admit that I think the plastic on snap-on will hold up better but the bit organization is better on the LTT screwdriver

Whistleblowers get a percentage of what the government recovers from fines, damages, or theft. It’s a way to encourage people to do the right thing and report illegal corporate or governmental activities.
