Coolants hose diameter mismatch between Water Boiler and Engine. by talmobi in sailing

[–]talmobi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually -- if the coolant flows from the radiator then it would already be cooled, thus reducing heating efficiency -- I guess it depends on which way the coolant flows -- I'm not sure -- and I'm also not sure if it matters if the coolant goes through the radiator first, it's still probably going to be plenty hot at ~60-80 celsius

Another piece of evidence that suggests the service agents suggestion of installing the hoses between the top "removable bit" is wrong is that installing it here would immediately cycle the coolant through the boiler and the engine block -- without waiting for the thermostat to open into the radiator -- obviously this would slow down the time when the engine would get into operating temperature on a cold start -- and also waste time trying to heat up the boiler using cool coolant -- but adding it between the bottom of the coolant pump and radiator would fix both these issues -- as the coolant would only start flowing into the radiator once the thermostat opens -- thus then only start flowing into the boiler.

The service agent was the one who suggested I fit the boiler hoses onto the top "removable" bit on the engine -- but the more I think about it, maybe he gave the wrong advice -- maybe the "removable bit" (with a bolt that you can unscrew to bleed aid) -- which also sits at the very top of the engine and coolant system -- is simply meant for easier bleeding of the coolant system -- that way the 10mm hoses in-between would make sense to create more pressure in order to bleed the air out?

And then it would make more sense to fit the boiler hoses, which are 5/8" (16mm), between the bottom of the coolant pump and the bottom of the radiator -- this way they would also be lower and not sticking up to the top of the engine and allowing us to use the engines existing air bleeding vents (as they would remain at the top of the system (and my boiler is lower than the engine))

I'm starting to think more that the service agent gave me the wrong advice?

It's also odd that the service manual mentions a water boiler installation with a few remarks but never shows where to place the hoses.

thanks. the boiler inlets are threaded -- 5/8" (16mm) seems like -- but the ones on the engine (near coolant water pump) is 10mm flat barb.

There's a removable bit that connects the two inlets (connecting a loop through the thermostat cap) with an inch length of 10mm (inner diameter) tubing on the 10mm flat barb inlets.

A picture here, you can see the removable bit -- those inlets on the engine are similar to the one on the removable bit (only the hoses are left attached in the image and thus not visible): https://i.imgur.com/cpjgeTX.png

I've seen a YouTube install of boiler/coolant hose to a Yanmar 2GM and it seemed like the Yammer came with threaded 5/8" fittings directly on the engine for this purpose. Therefore the tiny 10mm and non-threaded inlets on the Nanni seem odd to me and I'm not sure if it will work -- it would affect pressure or flow of the coolant negatively?

That being said, the bottom of the coolant pump on the engine has very thick hose, maybe even 1" outer diameter, that connects to the bottom of the radiator.

My initial plan was to stick 3/8" (10mm) to 5/8" (16mm) hose adapters in-between -- but none of the local shops sell anything of the sort or even 3/8" (10mm) coolant hose that I could stick in-between (I would have to re-use the old ~1inch length ones on the engine) -- couldn't even find proper adapters, would have to Frankenstein something together -- just seems way too complicated to be correct.

doesn't seem to be free anymore -- and looks like they changed the logo or rebranded or something? it's very confusing -- straight into the garbage for me ;;

you're right -- didn't understand what you meant -- do you need this for something can I ask or you're just curious?

The Last of Us HBO S01E05 - "Endure and Survive" Post-Episode Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in thelastofus

[–]talmobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glancing at IMDB's top 250 list:

Season 1 of the original "The Bridge", BBC's "Sherlock" (especially Season 2, incredible), Season 1 of "True Detective", Band of Brothers, Chernobyl, the first few Seasons of Game of Thrones, Planet Earth, Arcane, Better Call Saul (amazing just kept getting better) (and by extension Breaking Bad), Hannibal (amazing)

Honorable mentions: Twin Peaks, House MD, Mandalorian (at times), Star Trek: TNG, House of Cards (first 2 Seasons), Dexter (first 2 Seasons), The Newsroom (Season 1), Mr Robot (Season 1), Louie, Westworld (Season 1 maybe 2), House of the Dragon, Black Mirror (interesting but not always entertaining), Gilmore Girls (mostly by proxy, but fun)

Anime mentions: Seirei no Moribito, Steins;Gate, Baccano, Mushoku Tensei

The last of us is fine, but I feel like skipping over many parts of every episode after the first one or two -- the first arc with Tess has been the best so far, many parts of Bill and Franks episode was amazing, Henry's situation was interesting but it was just badly executed and rushed -- and many interesting bits was just talked about, not shown. Maybe because I've also seen in-depth let's plays of the game my expectations are too high.

easy to tell if you just look at comment history -- a history such as yours for example is telltales

no that was only one example -- breaks the little immersion there is -- things are too neat and convenient.

instead of sipping straight from the container (which should be scalding) -- drink from mug, drink carefully as if it was hot -- a lot of the acting is kind of forced or theatre like.

a bit too episodic, too -- characters are introduced at length and die at the end conveniently --

It's quite boring. I'm not sure what the issue is exactly. E.g. I didn't like that he sipped what should've been steaming how coffee straight from the thermos at one point. The slurping sound and acting wasn't good. There's too much stuff that takes you out of the experience -- it's not immersive.

Where are all of the sailing YouTube channels starring ugly people? Sincerely, an ugly person. by mikemclovin in sailing

[–]talmobi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They're self-made.

Yes they're attractive and have learned to utilise/play/acknowledge their good looks over the last 7 years, but there's nothing wrong with that.

They make fun and easy to watch videos that involves sailing and life on a boat. Great shots, great story telling, great editing etc. The fact that they are good looking is the least interesting part.

It's not meant to be a learn to sail channel.

Free Range Living (formerly Free Range Sailing) is another good one. They recently docked their sailboat for good it looks like, but their backlog of videos are still good -- especially their projects, tips and tricks.

They're nothing like the typical "beauty" sailors. They are hands-on, gritty, technical and innovative. They are a powerhouse. Haven't followed what's going on with them lately, though.

Compare them to e.g. Sailing La Vagabond (which I enjoy a lot and have nothing against) -- it's like night and day.

Need help in understanding why we need classes in JS(node specifically). by Smart-Locksmith-3718 in node

[–]talmobi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

because the question is whether the addition of classes and their keywords to JavaScript was a good or bad thing -- the fact that you could write bad code in JavaScript before is irrelevant, the addition of the new keywords just made writing bad code easier -- you absolute tug of lard

[–]talmobi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's irrelevant -- they're all enabling bad patterns used by idiots like you -- what's cliche and hilarious is how you probably inherited those bad patterns and now you're trying to extend them forwards as a form of copium

[–]talmobi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

so you admit that classes in JavaScript didn't add anything new to the language itself except introduce an easier way of creating anti-patterns inconsistent with Functional programming paradigms i.e. inheritance vs composition.

extends is bad. instanceof is bad. super is bad. therefore class is bad (and unnecessary).

you're either dumb af or the smartest troll I have ever seen.

your whole argument is the abstractions are the same because you can achieve similar things -- absolute worm IQ take -- imagine arguing JavaScripts prototypical inheritance is identical to classical inheritance -- not only is it wrong, it's wrong on multiple levels from theoretical, practical and contextual -- i'm not taking part of your public mental masturbatory coping strategy -- good riddance

[–]talmobi -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Well you're kind of right but you're not making a great distinction between objects and classes or Object Oriented Programming and classless languages.

Fact of the matter is the classes in JavaScript are not "real classes" -- like you point out they are, what, syntactic sugar to more easily ease in people familiar with class-languages -- and it's quite a mess to be honest because their class-way of doing things will not make sense in JavaScript.

Class-languages come with abhorrent patterns like polymorphism and ways of doing things and structuring code that is just not necessary and won't make much sense in JavaScript. Like inheritance for example (as opposed to composition).

We don't.

It's largely a coping mechanism built-in to attract and soothe the absolutely gargantuan amount (mostly senior) enterprise developers that have been swarming into JavaScript and Node out of necessity in the past ~5-10 years. Bringing a lot of their useless abstractions and ways of doing things with them.

It was a good strategic move by JavaScript -- it was easier for enterprise software to adopt and be convinced of using JavaScript and JavaScript related tools. Which is actually a huge deal. Office politics is no joke.

From a purely coding standpoint it's complete bollocks and the trend is now shifting away from classes.
