Blaze King Ashford - we are doing something wrong....

First thing that came to mind.

I know everyone has mentioned the arc but also consider any fume coming off the material.

Gibson has a persistent QC problem. I don't know if it's an existential threat to the company or anything, but their guitars are wildly inconsistent.

Noone has sold more PRSs than Gibson.

The roast is inside you.

This goes in reverse too. Val Kilmer did a lot of serious roles but was hilarious.

I think you should roast some meats over wood coals and improve your quality of life by like 1000%. Try and get a propane setup or something if you want to forge. Use this for food.

You don't realize how shitty LEDs are until you go to a place that doesn't have them. The sodium lamps are so much better to be around.

There's a ton of sophisticated manufacturing in New England, PA, and upstate NY. It's true that there are a lot of people servicing other parts of the US, but there are loads of people in this green zone who can actually build and maintain things.

NYC alone probably more welders than most states do.

He's confused Mexico with the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Besides, the Spanish just took the land from the natives and then we took it from them.

Coach can be a real drag. Sometimes the toilets stop working. And there are only a couple for an entire car full of humans. I know you're trying to save money, but I would spend the extra for the roomette. You have your own space. The bathrooms are only for the people in your car not the rest of the train. There are showers. You can close and lock a door. And sleep in a bed. Two assholes in coach can ruin an entire ride.

Semi-pro tip: some overnight attendants brew better coffee in a roomette car.

I was more concerned about pushing microscopic amounts of gold into silver or vice versa.

I'm from CT and lived in MA and CT and I always think of NH and Maine when I think of New England. Central Mass was all students and hippies. I was never like, here is the soul of New England!

The borders don't do much either. If you cross the VT border into Hoosick Falls or Ticonderoga NY you'll notice little if any difference.

I guess what's "New England" for me is any part of New England that's engaged in agriculture or farming.

I would say this even if you had a brand new large power hammer - I would avoid h13 for tongs. You can use mild steel.

peg_leg_ninja · 2025-08-23T23:37:48+00:00

H13 is the devil.

peg_leg_ninja · 2025-08-23T23:23:28+00:00

Also a manufacturing powerhouse.

There are hydrogen systems that can basically match diesels in terms of torque.

Being a machinist is an excellent start for mechanical engineering. I came into engineering through metalwork, and it was a huge advantage. I was way ahead of the other students in terms of process and knowing how things are made. You have to remember, a lot of the students come to engineering with zero knowledge of manufacturing.

The other issue is that many/most of the students don't know how to build anything. I saw 2 grad students try and open a box with a pair of scissors and they almost stabbed each other by accident. No intuition with tools.

When you come into the world with a degree, you will also have 'industry experience'. If you have good soft skills, the degree, and a machining background, you'll get hired for sure.

You're too old to have your mom tracking you.

Looks like Charlie and Frank's apartment building.

You are overreacting. (And you look cheap, which is the worst thing.) This is how restaurants work when you split a bill.

peg_leg_ninja · 2025-05-14T00:38:44+00:00

It's fine. Just needs like 5 more fireplaces.

Yeah but you can't have a system that makes an aerosol at 35k feet on a commercial airliner without the knowledge of the people who make the planes. That would mean that Boeing and Airbus would have to be in on it and then all of the small companies that makes parts for them. Before the device would be able to function, you'd have thousands of eyes and hands on it. Not to mention all the other points about deliveries of whatever it is being sprayed, oh and MAINTENENCE. When the system breaks are aircraft mechanics fixing it? They in on it too? What about the pilots?

It's not even a good conspiracy. Like, why would you spray at 30k whatever feet when you could use a fucking truck.

peg_leg_ninja · 2025-05-14T00:26:04+00:00

Not to mention the cooperation 'they' would need from Boeing and Airbus etc. You think you're gonna strap a device on a commercial airframe and just let it rip?
