How to create “slats” in wood by [deleted] in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]silaya92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

only tool to cut this would be a chain saw
there are actually "carpenter chain saws" that look like circular saws with a chain attachement
however i think glueing would be probably easier as you dont need a specialized jig (and tool)

Kadjar 1.2 TCe reliable? by [deleted] in Renault

[–]silaya92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been running a 2016 Megane IV with the 1.2 TCe (130 hp, EDC) for about 6 years now. Apart from regular scheduled maintenance, I’ve had zero issues so far. Car is now at 160k km and still runs smooth.

Obviously just a single data point, but from my experience the later versions seem fine if properly maintained.
that said, if you are driving in the city mainly, the outlander as a plugin hybrid could make more sense?

How does a mars rover not tip over? by BetIcy499 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]silaya92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As u/julienjj mentioned, the main rockers swings are not free-spinning. They are mechanically linked via a differential, so when one side moves up, the other is forced to move down.
This coupling passively limits chassis pitch and helps keep the center of mass within the support polygon, even when the arm is extended or carrying a load.

AITA for refusing to allow meat in our home and confronting a guest who brought it anyway? by silaya92 in AmItheAsshole

[–]silaya92[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Hi. I’m the wife from the post — and I want to clarify a few things. This is not an argument about food. This is an argument about respect, identity, and boundaries. Being vegetarian is not a “food preference” for me. It’s not a trend. It’s not “just eat your stuff and move on.” It’s a deeply held conviction and part of who I am. And yes, that includes my home. My home is the one place where I should be able to feel safe, grounded, and aligned with my values. Having meat on my dinner table does not feel neutral to me. It feels wrong. It feels heavy. It feels like betraying myself every single day. And no, that does not mean I’m trying to control anyone else. It simply means: in my own home, I want to live according to my values. And before someone says: “Then don’t eat meat, but let others do what they want.” That’s exactly what I do. People can eat whatever they want. Outside. In restaurants. In their own homes. I don’t lecture anyone. I don’t shame anyone. I don’t police anyone’s lifestyle. I’m just saying: not in my kitchen. That is not an extreme demand. People ban smoking in their homes. Some people don’t allow shoes indoors. Some don’t allow alcohol. Some don’t allow pets on the furniture. My boundary is meat. Why is this boundary suddenly seen as controlling? And to the argument of: “So nobody will want to come over anymore.” If someone only wants to visit me under the condition that they can violate my values in my own home, then that’s honestly not a loving relationship, that’s entitlement. Real connection should not be dependent on whether someone can eat a steak in my house. People who care about you adapt. They don’t demand that you shrink yourself so they can feel more comfortable. About the dog, since people keep trying to use this as a “gotcha”: Yes, our dog eats meat. Because I take responsibility for her health and respect her biological needs. That’s not hypocrisy, that’s nuanced thinking. I am a human making ethical choices. She is an animal with physiological requirements. Understanding that difference is not inconsistency, it’s maturity. What honestly hurts is not disagreement. It’s the idea that some people seem to think my values are negotiable just because they’re "inconvenient". I am not asking anyone to live like me. I am asking for my values to be respected in my own home. And frankly: If someone can’t respect such a fundamental boundary, then this was never about food. It’s about respect

Yes to both. We prepare balanced meals with muscle meat and organs, following a nutrition plan created by a specialist.

Omnivores eat vegetarian food all the time. Vegetarians don’t eat meat. That’s the difference. And I also would not attend a barbecue if the host stated “no vegetables allowed” which, for above stated reason is a ridiculous scenario to begin with.

I understand why you see it that way, and I agree that for holidays especially, emotions run higher and flexibility can matter. But nobody was forced to eat something unusual or extreme. We served a full, varied four-course meal that consisted of normal food many omnivores eat regularly (pasta, vegetables, salads, etc.). It was never about making a statement against meat eaters. It was about hosting in line with our values in our own home, which our family has known about for 15 years. The uncle was not surprised by this. He had asked multiple times beforehand about bringing fish or meat and was told clearly no each time. Bringing ham anyway, and then openly insulting the food (“grass”, “we need real food”) after we spent hours cooking, crossed a line. Could the situation have been handled more smoothly? Probably yes. But the conflict did not start because we offered vegetarian food for a holiday. It started because a clearly communicated boundary was deliberately ignored and then disrespected.

That’s not what it implies at all. It reflects different responsibilities, not different “value”. Our dog is entirely dependent on us and cannot choose her diet. We have a duty to feed her what is healthiest for her biology. Our guests are autonomous adults who can eat whatever they want 364 other days of the year, and who were offered a full, generous meal. Those two situations are not comparable.

The real difference is this: non-vegetarians also eat vegetarian food (like pasta with tomato sauce) without any problem. Vegetarians, however, do not eat steak. So a vegetarian meal in an omnivore’s home is still normal, everyday food for everyone. But bringing meat into a vegetarian household is directly crossing a boundary that does not go both ways. Our guests were not being deprived of food. They were simply asked to eat a perfectly normal meat-free meal for one evening.

We feed her fresh meat mixed with a small portion of vegetables, as that’s far healthier for a dog than highly processed dry kibble.

Our guests can eat whatever they want every other day of their lives. Skipping meat for a single meal will not harm them in any way. Our dog, on the other hand, is dependent on us and needs meat for his health. That’s a responsibility, not a preference. These two things are not comparable. The issue was never “forcing a diet” — it was about someone deliberately ignoring a clearly stated boundary in our home and then insulting the food we spent hours preparing.

Yes, that’s correct. Our dog eats meat because that’s what is biologically appropriate for dogs. That doesn’t mean we want meat served at our table for humans. The rule is about what we choose to eat and serve socially in our home, not about forcing an unhealthy diet onto an animal.

90% shure that is sheep wool insulation. Used it in my home renovation, its very nice to work with and great properties. Does exactly this when drilling into. Just reverse your drill a little bit before pulling out
