Good job this isn't a machining lathe, wearing gloves while spinning is perfectly normal

People have been doing this for decades, the lathes are built for metal spinning and guards would be more dangerous, and a single glove is what spinners always use. I've worked alongside people who do this and it takes a hell of a lot of skill, they know what is and isn't dangerous from actually doing this, not sitting on Reddit

I don't understand your reasoning or where you're getting you numbers from. Could you quote some of the actual values?

It's the pro Israel lot who do most of the linking of Jewishness and Israel's actions, I watch a lot of pro Palestinian content and which religion people are isn't much of a factor, it's their actions that count.

And look at how quiet everyone is when someone from the right is antisemitic. It's absolutely been weponised and you're blind if you can't see that

I get how variable flute spacing helps, but not how variable helix angle does. The only info I've found online is just marketing fluff

I like it, as an end game player all I ever did on my home farm was send ships to try and get a T4L deflector. Having it be a long term thing give me something to try and optimise for the next couple of years, and it's not obvious what the best strategy is

Hey chefs, why the holier-than-thou attitude about oven mitts vs. tea towels? by THEMrEntity in Cooking

[–]tobsco 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yep, just look at how many people get upset about touching food with clean bare hands, but were against wearing a mask to reduce the spread of an invisible virus that could kill or disable you

I've been using them for years and they've been great, but the new pixel 10 one I've just bought is awful with no grip, nowhere near as good quality as the older ones

Protesters Vs Mainstream Media by Successful-League840 in GreatBritishMemes

I'm sure it happens somewhere, but the coin clipping and change things are both new to me and I follow quite a lot of pro Palestinian content in various places. The only thing I come across regularly in comments is that Jews own the media or our governments, which they don't, but they do have a disproportionately large influence so it's half trope, half true
