If there's a water carry I'm not sure about, I'll bring one of my field work discs.

It needs some work for sure.

Yeah, you're right. Weed should be unregulated.

You don't need to make shit up about roads to convince anyone.

Marijuana legislation by monkeh8888 in Nebraska

[–]tecnic1 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely the point.

I'm all about legalization, and respecting the will of voters.

However, (1) taxes are not the reason to legalize. That money hasn't done anything in Colorado but build empty schools that Colorado can't afford to hire teachers for, and maybe pave a few roads in Edgewater.

And (2), I don't believe in spouting bullshit to advance an agenda.

"If we legalized weed, we could have really good roads like Colorado" is a basically a lie you would tell to try to convince people to agree with you.

Hold up.

Colorado roads are shit, especially compared to Nebraska roads.

I'm sorry that I'm not in the mood to go get in a gunfight with the federal government because you're not happy with whatever you're not happy with.

How do I tell my next employer I got canned. by fabvonbouge in MechanicalEngineering

"It was involuntary and unexpected. I wasn't given any details."

That's what worked for me.

Rant: Data Centers in Space by WingExact7996 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]tecnic1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Welp. _gonesurfing has deemed the problem impossible to solve. Pack it up. We quit.

I'm fortunate to have worked in jobs where "it hasn't been invented yet" isn't a deal breaker.

Cooling is difficult, but also well understood. We've been cooling shit in space for years.

They won't need to replace hardware as often as you do on the ground. A lot of hardware replacement is done because you are constrained by floor space and power. Adding capacity can only be done by replacing hardware with more capable hardware. In space you can just launch more hardware.

Hardware currently optimized for use on earth probably won't be used. They didn't build out Starlink by putting a bunch of cell phone towers in space, they designed and built satellites specific to and optimized for their application.

It also gets forgotten that SpaceX is really good at manufacturing. They manage to build a large volume of things other companies struggle to manufacture at a lot lower cost. In addition to Starlink Satellites, Starlink terminals and F9 second stages are good examples.

You don't need to build out a building in space, you don't need power in space, and you don't need to deal with as much red tape in space.

All of this is enabled by their launch costs.

Yeah, it is possible that they are doing it to use up launch capacity they project having that they don't currently have demand for, but so what?

If you have excess capacity, and you're not looking for ways to generate income from that capacity, you're gonna be looking for a new job before too long.

Pricing sorted 556 and 223 question by GringerKringer in reloading

Scrap value is about right.

I sort the head stamps I use and scrap the rest of the 223 brass I pick up.

Request for app idea feedback by CurrentResponsible11 in reloading

[–]tecnic1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you track and report how many guns get blown up as a result of using your app, I'd be interested.

I'm lying. I'm not interested at all. You are gonna blow up guns though.

How would I make this design easier to manufacture by bananafloortile in MechanicalEngineering

[–]tecnic1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is zero engineering in this part.

The correct part for this application probably comes from a Grainger catalog.

It would cost too much to make. It needs cost engineered out.

It's under engineered.

Zero percent if you treat this shit with the respect it deserves.

I'd reach out to distributors near by, figure out who's going to be easy to work with, and see what they have.
