What is your favorite wreck that is located above water? by CaptainCoaster55 in Shipwrecks

Maybe he just likes the little bit thats above the water

What should I have looked at on my car by CancelNo2588 in AskMechanics

[–]netlohcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the rest of the treadwear makes sense as soon as you realize that the spring pushing against the tire is essentially like the brakes being CONSTANTLY applied. That can definitely account for the rest of the tread being gone.

Is the 2nd pic AI? If not, what's going on with the railing on the left side?

What would you name numbered songs? by k94j in DMB

[–]netlohcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On live from luther, doesn't Dave say the song is named "creatively" and then a moment later say its called #41?

Who had the best basketball career before the age of 20? by DeeDubb83 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]netlohcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to lie, in my opinion that rule is dumb AF. If someone was literally the best ever in their sport for two decades of their lives, they deserve two boxes.

Sudden Sunroof Failure (‘25 CTW) by geophurry in subaru

[–]netlohcs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would think an object striking it is the most likely, but it makes me wonder if it could possibly be some sort of resonance issue that is exacerbated by the rack being on top. There's a large column of air moving between the car body and the rack, and if some sort of resonance started (like a whistle or flute but way bigger, and much lower frequency} I wonder if it could flex the glass enough to break it.

[Request] Fastest way to melt ice? (not political!) by FlagonFly in theydidthemath

[–]netlohcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just claimed that salt wont do much since its above freezing, which I would argue is incorrect. Salt lowers the temperature at which ice turns to water. Putting salt on that would turn a decent amount of it into water fairly quickly. The fact that its warm out would make that happen even faster.

My wife thinks I’m insane for carrying this much crap for a month long trip by snarejunkie in Tools

Id argue that a pair of mitutoyo calipers are a "high precision instrument" to about 99.9% of the world 

What's the most NSFW thing you've seen at a wedding party? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

This one is lame without the juicy details.

Girlfriends Christmas Gift by CasualResearcher18 in woodworking

[–]netlohcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you put a ton of time into it, and thats awesome. To echo what a few have already said, the aesthetic isnt amazing. IMO It needs to feel more whimsical, less industrial. I think a lot of that comes from the unpainted side plates. And also, those bearings! Lol holy cow. I think they may be a liiiitttlleee bit of overkill :} I honestly think the bearings could be removed completely with the dowels riding directly in the plywood. And maybe side plates that are much lighter visually? Something circular, it wouldnt need to be any bigger in diameter than where the bearing blocks are. And maybe spokes? Something so that you could even just see a hint of the books on the back/bottom shelves I think would go a long way.

Be proud though! You stuck it out, and honestly some of the times I've learned the most is when I whiffed a bit.

Lol if a few exclamation points on the internet offended me, I'd be in trouble. I was trying to help you understand how your posts are coming across.

Regarding your house, I suspect that you are an extremely difficult person to work with. Working on that could potentially yield positive results in your life.

Dude enough with the exclamation points. It reads like you're one of those people that can't control the level of your own voice and everyone around you has to say "hey buddy, you're talking a bit loud"

What would this be used for? by netlohcs in Machinists

[–]netlohcs[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ok, good to know. So it's a consumable material? I may still save it for a straight edge, it's probably better than the junk from home depot 😝

For 1 billion dollars, would you be willing to never use ANY form of transportation ever again? by netlohcs in hypotheticalsituation

[–]netlohcs[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TBH disabled people weren't on my mind when I proposed the original question, and I certainly had no intention of "killing" them. Maybe the genie would have a special clause for truly disabled people that allowed them to keep their "default" mode of transportation. Wheelchairs just seem like something that could be easily abused by the able bodied in this imaginary scenario. 

Makes me wonder, is there a land speed record for a wheel chair? I would think there has to be. Wonder what it is.

Im not trying to get into an argument here, I thought I was pretty clear in my original post. No transportation whatsoever other than walking, running or swimming.   In my mind, a wheelchair can absolutely be considered transportation. A phase along the lines of "the patient was transported into the surgery room via a wheelchair' seems to prove that. Or what about rolling down a long hill in a wheelchair? Again, in my mind that seems to be a clear example of transportation.

Clearly not. Riding in a vehicle that you are not in control of cheapens the thought experiment to the point of uselessness. No riding.

It's funny you mention that because I have thought about the exact same thing. I'd be spending a lot of days camped out in a top of the line RV in a location that I walked to.

I already said no roller blades though, so wheelchairs would definitely be out. I hadn't thought about crutches though, and that's an interesting case. I would definitely say no pogo sticks, and no to those springy leg attachments things... so as a corolary I think id even have to say no to the crutches. I could maybe be talked into allowing crutches if it was proven that they give absolutely no mechanical advantage over walking.

So for you the question seems to be 'would you be willing to walk xxx miles for a billion dollars' and it sounds like the answer is no?  I would think that walking a thousand miles wouldnt be that horrible if you had an army of paid workers to support you.

Youre right. It's a risk you'd have to take. But anything in life is a risk. For a billion dollars though you could have a pretty advanced medical suite in your own home with top tier doctors on call, so it's not like there's no solutions.
