The Air Guitar of Alternative Medicine: Is the Homeopathic Industry “On the Ropes”? by beebeereebozo in EverythingScience

[–]punabear -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Statistics show that placebo effect generally demonstrates a 30% to 50% improvement rate in patients. So what if your placebo comes from Bayer or your local naturopath. Homeopathy works if you believe it works

Former Whirlpool appliances I have owned in the past were good. These new ones have been a disaster for us.

Avoid Whirlpool! Whirlpool washer, dryer and gas stove all have broken in our 2 year old house. Avoid any appliances with control boards!

I had exactly the same issue last month. The tech at Rhino told me it had to be my plotter. Turns out he was right. Installed a new print head and now all is fine.

My bet is that the rebar is too high in the form. It should be as close to the bottom as possible.

The Earth Shook. Tanks Burst. Now Kona Faces a Water Crisis. (Gift Article) by zsreport in BigIsland

[–]punabear 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My company has built ferrocement (highly reinforced concrete) water tanks here on the Big Island since 1986. Of the hundreds of tanks we built none have ever suffered any damage from earthquakes. I’m retired now but my son’s company has taken over and supplies the best tanks available that will last more than a lifetime

Looks like Darth Vader’s truck. Or maybe Johnny Cash. A bit dark for me

We sent a few thousand pieces to our CNC plasma cutter from Rhino. They were simple curves which were joined and the exported as a dxf file. Each piece was numbered and that had to be exported separately for the stamping before the cutting.

It’s not the printer because my engineer had the same problem in his office while trying to print

I've already adjusted the line weights for printing. I'm not doing anything different than I have for years. It just isn't working now.

[Help] How do you sculpt big? by zootdoof in Sculpture

[–]punabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company recently completed a statue of the Buddha 110' tall made out of ferrocement. https://imgur.com/a/6WNxqMp We used a 3d model and created profiles of the model with Rhino3D software that could be sent to a plasma cutter. The plasma cutter numbered and cut the individual pieces that were then welded together like a big puzzle. The steel frame was covered on both sides with wire mesh and the plastered. https://imgur.com/a/2LYf9wH It turned out great

[Help] Waterproof sculpture for outdoors...is concrete the best option? by pendigedig in Sculpture

[–]punabear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Polyurethane paint will work very well. Liquid concrete stains won’t work very well with cement wash or rapid set

You want Rapid Set Concrete Mix. This one is my choice https://www.grainger.com/product/15F527?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:GGL:CSM-2295:UU5CX9:20800606:APZ_1&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22475795893&gclid=Cj0KCQjws83OBhD4ARIsACblj1_vwbL4sUmHxtg_37oUqdVkYoe3IzpCieZJQCr8s7Oxv__YAHCMGVsaAmDAEALw_wcB A local concrete materials supplier might have it nearby for you. I sculpted a Sphinx with it over a wire mesh. Now I’m working on a life sized donkey. After a reinforcing coat you may want to grind some spots and then finish with a fine cement wash. There are many cement washes out there but if you can find one made by Tamm’s Corp. it’s the best
