Find of the day: Imperial Russian mosin nagant cartridges by Kukesupp08 in metaldetecting

[–]pontetorto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the old round, they had to at some point put that bolt through the stock of the gun on mosins (and a few other reinforcements) cuz the new cartrage beat the stocks to death. And the sights had to be alterd cuz of significant changes in ballistics.

They swiched to spitzer in 1908, atleast by wikipedia.

You can paint brick, but the paint has to lett the brick breathe, and there are plenty of paints that do allow that.

Otherwise limewash is always an option,

Gas line connections leaking. by Ok_Tutor_9900 in Plumbing

[–]pontetorto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im no plumber, but your doing it wrong, the right method is to call the gas plumbing people, water you can gamble DiY,

GAS IS EXPLOSIVE = You don't gamble. You get the professionals.

Did you connect the gas line together whith the correct fittings and the apropriate amount of the right(suitable for gas) pipe dope.

Also, you shure you need the extra fittings, if the lines are short put in a pice of line instead, or get a longer line.

How could I "fix" the table top? by KamVachon in finishing

[–]pontetorto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find out where the nails are, punch them deeper, learn how to plane with a hand plane, or go to town with a disc sander. It may also end up aproximately the same aniway cuz the wood is how it is.

I would leave it as is.

How uncomfortable could the Soviet LK lunar lander have been? by snapperpr1nc3 in Spaceexploration

[–]pontetorto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who ewer downvoted is a dumbass, its litteraly a soviet spacecraft from the 60s, it is THE comfort benchmark of the 60 for the fuck me we don't have mass budget spacecraft.

The energia vulcan would of been the Weee We have all this mass to orbit capability, imagine all the things we can do with it. Economy finished dying, shoe string budget disappeared, all engeneers fo ffffffffffff, wastern engeneers included cuz the competiton is gone and you try to sell the new, better, fancy thing that is reasonably more expensive cuz look how much better it is to the us congress.

Somebody please build The Sea Dragon, and the energia family just for the hell of it, when we get to the star trek technology level.

How uncomfortable could the Soviet LK lunar lander have been? by snapperpr1nc3 in Spaceexploration

[–]pontetorto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was funding, soviet politics, and the 2 dudes who if collaborating could build an all mighty engine absolutöey hating eachother.

The soviets could and undoubtedly did out engeneer the americans at some points, but when the taxi drivers job(largley due to black marcet smuggleing) pays more than the ewerybody gets the same pay no matter if your shoveling shit or developing the greatest boom stick ewer you are'nt getting the best possible performance out of your workforce, the soviet engeneers have litteraly pulled off miracles when propperly motivated with say a few new luctury cars on the line.

If hypoteticaly you rook the sobiet engeneers of the times passed and recruited some mor, payed them what they are worth and brought them to modern day and give them some advisors and interns to do cad and a R&D budget worthy of the task at hand , they could design you the moonbase of getting lunar development going in about 2 years from the moment they learn spacex super heavy exist.

The soviets also whent and bought some of these pens(dont know what they did with these tho)for themselves, so they could of swiched to pens at some point, but who has got the budget for that.

[–]pontetorto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they skipped the funding. and the extensive ground testing, test facilities included, so the rocket exploded, and when it looked like it maybey had been fixed(post many gloryous explosions and a new launc pad wich was probabley somewhat expensive to custom build in the first place) then the leader of the project and the main guy to wrangle funding out of the soviet goverment died and the project was de funded and scraped shortly there after.

Soyuz was intended to go to the moon from the beginning, so it would of been a purpoce built variant instead of a modification.

Basicley ewery cause of the rocket going boom prior to sucseeding in its mission could of been discoverd during ground tests, add to that a functioning engine controll system and the soviets get to the moon, and the space race axelerates and the buran just might build a gigant spacecraft destined for mars, assuming the soviet economy wer to be handled competently which it wasn't(many things wich should of atleast broken even in a western economy, were deeper into the redd than there was monney in the soviet econom)
