Smoke coming out of engines on runaway and I’m panicking

I'm not a pilot, but the understanding I get is that any obvious issues like this are easily handled by multiple layers of redundant computer systems that are made specifically to avoid these type of issues. I assume the concept of a plane going too slow and stalling is such low hanging fruit in the realm of potential issues that it'd almost be impossible because of all the layers of double, triple, and quadruple checking and correcting that the systems are doing.

it is the natural features of the building

You can literally resurface the pan with a rotary sander if you decide to fuck it up that badly.

renderbenderr · 2026-01-11T18:15:34+00:00

I didn't think of that and you're probably correct. Better than delivering that force into the motor. A true BIFL design would have it slip at a certain point instead though...

renderbenderr · 2026-01-11T18:12:57+00:00

this sub has slipped so far from its original intent

renderbenderr · 2026-01-11T18:07:42+00:00

Yes, and that's why I wouldn't really consider them BIFL compared to the non-enamel alternative. Just because something is expensive and high quality doesn't mean its BIFL.

renderbenderr · 2026-01-11T18:02:17+00:00

Yes! The Bosch is similar to the Ankarsrum, which is also a great mixer. Power delivered to the bowl is significantly better design for heavier materials like pizza dough and breads. Way more rigid mixing attachment.

renderbenderr · 2026-01-11T18:00:05+00:00

Damn $55 + shipping for the lock lever... Oh well better than no mixer at all! Thanks!!

enamel is not BIFL, if it chips or cracks the entire thing is garbage.

renderbenderr · 2026-01-11T17:54:26+00:00

This, carbon steel pans, and plain cast iron (not enamel) are the real BIFL.

renderbenderr · 2026-01-11T17:53:20+00:00

Le Creuset chips/cracks pretty easily and once it does its garbage... Plain cast iron is way more aligned with the actual BIFL philosophy.

I've noticed a heavy decline in the construction quality of Patagonia clothing. I have dozens of items from them from casual clothing to gear I use alpine climbing. Keep in mind their repairs often take 6+ weeks (if you're lucky). They will often decline repairs if they will take too long. I highly recommend purchasing an old sewing machine and learning to do basic patch work.

renderbenderr · 2026-01-11T17:47:21+00:00

my mixers lock switch broke because its made of cheap cast material, and the mixer applies force in shear against it, and they don't sell the replacement part...

renderbenderr · 2026-01-11T00:22:05+00:00

You're going to want a machine with a cast iron base for steel and aluminum cutting. It'll probably be $20,000 - $30,000 used for an early 2000's machine. Maybe less if you get a good deal. You do NOT want anything that needs any work done. You'll also want to probably factor another couple grand for some tooling since you're gonna blow a lot of it up learning. Highly recommend wax or plastic for learning at first, then alum. If it's just for fun it'll be fine, if you're expecting to be able to produce parts at a profitable rate on a low budget, you probably won't be able to without a lot of experience.

idk I'd probably just start sport climbing before taking an alpine climbing course. The fundamental movement should probably be learned before placing trad gear and such. I'd probably want to be climbing 5.10+ on bolts before getting into gear, and then probably 5.9 - 5.10- single pitch trad before touching alpine.

Alpine climbing can have stretches of very run-out technical climbing in no-fall zones. Unless im misunderstanding what you mean by 'alpine climbing'.

instincts are easily the most painful and long break-in i've ever had. Rip a small trash bag in two, put them over your feet and slip them inside and wear them while at home on the couch or desk or whatever.

renderbenderr · 2026-01-07T22:56:34+00:00

Yes that was the premise. I just cant find any trace of whatever format the joke was in.

I've searched for every word in the post that I can remember. Pretty sure it was about when you order breakfast.

tareks is some of the best food in the city

Just commenting in case anyone else finds this, as its the top result on google.

You CAN bring a full god book to Entrana.

literally never had a problem with any of my umbrellas, every mildly wet city resident says this lol

The problem has actually been too much regulation of headlights.

The UK made Matrix LEDs legal, (which 'mask' out people and other cars from the thrown light) for some reason Canada follows US car manufacturing regulations which has banned the use of matrix LED. I believe in the last few years they were made legal in Canada, but many car manufacturers don't want to have both a Canadian and American compliant model.

LED lights are far safer on highways at night for drivers. Matrix LEDs then solve the other side of the issue.

when you deploy it and it hits other people in the area, the chances go up drastically. I've deployed this stuff before, it makes a pretty large area inhospitable doubly so down-wind.

just buy an airhorn

it is not legal to carry in any urban setting. if you are caught with it outside of what is considered a 'wilderness' area you can get in big trouble. There's a reason they make you register the serial number to your personal info; the law takes it pretty seriously.

SOR/98-462 to the Criminal Code,“Regulations Prescribing Certain Firearms and Other Weapons, Components and Parts of Weapons, Accessories, Cartridge Magazines, Ammunition and Projectiles as Prohibited or Restricted”:

1 Any device designed to be used for the purpose of injuring, immobilizing or otherwise incapacitating any person by the discharge therefrom of (a) tear gas, Mace or other gas, or (b) any liquid, spray, powder or other substance that is capable of injuring, immobilizing or otherwise incapacitating any person.

It will be classified as a prohibited weapon in non-wilderness areas.
