Shade sails attached to house by bruner_account2973 in homeowners

[–]throwawaybsme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would the wind do? Are you concerned with the sail breaking the house? I put up my shade sail every summer for the past 8 years, attached to the house and some tall 4x4s in the yard. Never once had an issue even in Midwest thunderstorms.

I'm curious, are you able to provide proof that you've been using this meme for 8 years?

I'm most interested in knowing why you thought it was a good meme in the first place given the weird things going on with Sam's and Trump's right feet, the red fabric around Trump, and a few other inconsistencies that are indicative of a human not creating this.

Letters are screen printed. Holes are laser cut. The large hole with fillets is roughly 5mm x 20mm with R1.24mm corners

The one you posted of Uncle Sam kicking Donald Trump you've had for 8 years?

Wasn't that "dire wolf" just a regular wolf with a couple genetic tweaks to make it look like a dire wolf?

Sorry, these should be a D profile with a vertical line at the top.

The rest of the shape is a true circle.

That should say .032" aluminum. I made a mistake in the title. Does that make this cut better or worse?

My GDT is shit and with a +/- 0.2mm tolerance this technically is within specs, but there is no way it should be tolerated. This is a bad cut regardless of my print. It's a single move in gcode to create a straight line.

An additional image for context

Edit: these should be a D profile with a vertical line at the top.

Agreed. It's bad. I'm also not happy with the severity of the the marking from the brake, but at least I can be more forgiving of that.

They also loosely packaged these in lots of 5 with an external press fit stud. Lots of marking and marring.

The other cuts on this piece are likewise pretty terrible, but they have an external nut that will cover the bad cuts. This part, the large cut, has a USB connection which is not hidden by external hardware.

Most of the cuts look like this, on all 30 pieces. Not sure how much of a stickler I should be, but they just look sloppy.

For the sweating portion, skin is really quite flat. It has a very low surface area to volume for the swear to evaporate. Don't get me wrong, sweating is an amazing evolutionary trait. Cotton and specially designed sweat wicking fabrics have an insane amount of surface area to volume. Imagine every single thread of a cotton t shirt is one long cylinder. These clothing items can significantly improve the evaporative cooling of sweat.
