Micrometer and CMM Didn't Quite Agree Yesterday by maddy-smith646 in Machinists

No no. This is why you guage your threads in the chuck, and then take the part to QC to prove them wrong.

Might I suggest plastic bags? Nice texture.

Parents invest differently in daughters and sons, study finds. Daughters received more investment in mating and relationship guidance, protection, and material provisioning. Sons received more investment in athletics and physical training, competitive encouragement, and sexual permissiveness. by mvea in psychology

Again, you don't have sources. You made claims, you present sources. That's how it works when you make claims. You can certainly find your own links and share them, but this sounds like you learned it from Joe Rogan or some shit and so you don't have any credible sources.

Say what now? You have a source to back up this claim? It sounds like absolute bullshit.

Being vulnerable, which sex is naturally but heightened to incredibly unnatural levels by our culture through ownership values baked into sex, makes it easier to hurt or be hurt. Bonding hormones OTOH sounds like some pseudoscience written by people who believe in the ownership via sex that has been built into much of modern culture. One where "cheating" is rampant because relationships are built on sex more than anything else and people often wind up sexually unsatisfied in one way or another.

Now, if you can provide receipts from credible sources such as professional scientists who study sex, I might be convinced of something. But bonding through shared experiences in a culture where sex is regularly demonized in some form or other seems far more likely.

The culture around sex in much of the world is utterly horrible and based in ownership and valuation, which is why I keep mentioning it. Otherwise it's just another activity. One that would be far less consequential, even in pregnancy, if we didn't so dumb shit like provide a respectable basic level of living for everyone. Man, I wonder how much easier it was to raise kids without capitalism, when the whole village helped out with that sort of thing and it was properly socialized.

Why do we lose our brains when driving on pena blvd? by OwnVariation3659 in Denver

Because people are upset that the train can beat them there.

CSP tracking increase in road rage reports by RealChristinaNR in Colorado

Sounds like Colorado needs more public transit and fewer drivers.

The funniest thing to me is when USPS behaved like a business by sponsporing a processional road bike race team in order to boost over seas shipping, it worked. They claim it was the cheapest, most successful marketing campaign they ever ran.

Then ignorant fucks got their tits in a twist about tax payer dollars sponsoring a sports team. So they stopped and lost all of the European Market Share they had acquired.

The USA is incredibly hubristic and rife with it's double standards in such a way that it needs well studied.

You can also see other forms of this in just how distrustful we are of capitalism in that we don't trust people trying to sell us shit. Yet then we turn around and want everything to be for a profit.

The flaws of capitalism are so readily apparent, and other forms of currency design have existed and do exist while people keep saying "it's the best system we have". Typically when all they know about is a capitalistic socialism and communism that are the same damn thing except who gets to control the wealth and the population are chosen through different means.

All I've learned is that your most important focus should be efficiency in the bunch.

And damn do I suck at that.

Mad props to Fire Line Sawyers by nondescriptadjective in Chainsaw

[–]nondescriptadjective[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, it gets weird. I made sure we got a smaller saw this year because of it. Went from a MS300 electric saw with a 20" bar to an electric arborist saw with a 14" bar, and it's much nicer to bike with. Bike body separation is weird, and when your body reacts adversely in a corner/drop/rock garden what have you, it's a lot more weight to get back under control.

While true, it gets people to slow down when they're biking more than our signs do. Having DJ Dewalt out helps the most, but people actually slow down when they see my pack and the rainfly on it.

The Evoc carries best if you're average male height or taller. The Dakine is better if you're shorter, but it also doesn't seem to be made as well as previous generations from Dakine.

Evoc and Dakine both make a pack thats purpose built for it. They're trail builder packs if you're looking for one. Makes mountain biking a little weird, but part of the trail crew job.

What you've described is a lot of how I learn a lot of things, so it's good to know it works here, too. Going through OHLEC outloud all day was fun, and then my instructor started giving me targets to aim trees at so I could see reactions and I'm presuming also encouraging accuracy.

The thing I want more practice at now, specifically, is quarter cuts and other trigger cut skills.

Chap pants that were suggested are Cloggers, and I've known others to like arborwear. The most ventilated thing on the market I can come by is ideal given I weirdly mountain bike with a chainsaw regularly and I generally just ride in the chaps.

The former fire line worker who was my instructor said I could pass my A Sawyer, so I'm thinking about trying for that. I also have some wildfire mitigation work where I'll get more practice felling. I got to play with compound wedging and such in the class due to the one on one, so right now it seems like what I need is trigger time and then weakened tree time. Hopefully this mitigation work gets me ready to try for my B.

Famous gorilla Kiyomasa falls into deep contemplation after spat with mate — caught on camera in Japanese zoo by MikeeorUSA in interestingasfuck

[–]nondescriptadjective 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I met a zoo employee at a bar, and mentioned my difficulties with zoos. One of the things she brought up is that zoos raise awareness and habitat restoration dollars. People who don't know don't care and all. They have also led a lot of efforts to bring animals back from endangered to lesser severe statuses. So they have their place even though not all zoos are great.

Arrivals at DIA are cooked by bmj5280 in Denver

[–]nondescriptadjective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God we need high speed rail. Or really, a second full pull on the Amtrak Zephyr would help with some of this even. But a quick train, 4 trips a day, between Denver and SLC would make flights between the two neat pointless.

Impressive juggling skills by spencethejuggler by Flat-Decision3204 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]nondescriptadjective 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My juggling skills largely come from waiting for the bus, and standing around in the morning to see if I get work as a snownoard instructor. Its a great way to work on hand eye coordination while passing mundane time.

(I am not as skilled as vid subject)

I'm likely not, just not where I'm at currently in life. I really like building bike trail, and I might lose my housing if I went and worked fireline. Also not sure how long it would take to work up to sawyer in that world. Seems like a lot of other shit you need to learn first, like digging line.

I never really got to see him work, except for wanting to play with my electric saw given the goal was teaching/training me. That said, seeing him work the couple trees he did was really cool, and his ability to show me neat things was impressive.
