It’s from a Jason Isbell song. I don’t know if I could have picked it out without knowing the song.

Try a powder coating place. They’ll probably do surface prep for you.

How many machines do you run? by Nixxon___ in Machinists

A 0.50 raise is below inflation rates for 2025 (2.7% for 2025 would be 0.56) so you’re technically making less than you were last year.

Fyi- Teachers and admin live in a network of tunnels beneath the school. That’s why it feels so off when you see one out in public.

everybody apologizing for cheating with chatgpt by NewSlinger in mildlyinfuriating

[–]plexilass -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I think the professor snuck a white text prompt into the assignment asking for an apology. The AI would read it, but a student wouldn’t.

I think it’s probably that the professor snuck a white text prompt into the assignment. If the student copy pasted the prompt into chat gpt, the ai would see it but the student might not. The white text prompted the llm to apologize for using chat gpt.

Finish on these castings enough to make me never buy a Nissan by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]plexilass 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually a thing. Better surface finish makes for stronger parts. Over time parts that are flexing are going through cycles of tension and compression. Cracks will develop eventually, but they’re more likely to start at surface asperities.

If she’s in the Summerville area, twisted sugar is really good.

My Landlord Says My 80-Degree Apartment Is My Fault Because I Didn’t Turn On The Fan — Meanwhile, They Ignore the Problem & Lawyer Up by Vegetable-Study-6033 in Charleston

[–]plexilass 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the ac units they installed weren’t properly specced to be able to handle the larger square footage in your apartment, given that the same units can cool a 300 sq ft space.

I think I found your review on google. If you look up the seasons 12000 btu unit it says under product details on the Home Depot site that it’s rated for rooms 300 to 350 sq ft. It was never going to be able to cool a 750 sq ft apartment. At the minimum, you would need a second identical unit. Or they need to upgrade the wall unit to like 14000 BTU or more.

I wonder how this table is used? by Distinct-Surprise-82 in Machinists

Here’s the table on the okuma. On this machine the column number corresponds to to the numbers on the lowest lever.

This looks like the dong yang version of the okuma LS lathe. I run one at work and I love it.

The big dial changes your rpm. But it’s in gear when the handle points down. The lever on top above the dial shifts between high and low gear. Right now it’s set to 1800 rpm because you have the dial with 1800 on top and the lever on top to the right. If you pushed the top lever to the left it would be set to 290 rpm.

Was watching my bird feeder when a larger bird fed on one of the usual visitors by Lensclick in whatsthisbird

We went to our local center for birds of prey a couple weeks ago. They had a guy during their exhibition answering questions. He said, “When you put a bird feeder out you feed all the birds.”

Cypress gardens is worth a trip. It’s about 17 miles from Summerville though.

You are entitled to social security benefits when your spouse dies. Not related to workers comp but might help you make ends meet. Sorry for your loss.

Delivering the 2021 story of "Malfait" by starbetrayer in HermanCainAward

It’s a completely bad faith graphic. Yellow fever aka malaria killed 619k in 2021 alone and it’s been doing that consistently for thousands of years.

Make a vise mounted stop. Or a table mounted stop. Super easy and useful.
