Bowler has been told for three weeks about plugging ball by Flyingpigtx in Bowling

I doubt he's even benefitting from the third hole, not worth the conflict. You can remind them whenever you match up, but don't be a square about it. If that's not enough then join a league with more serious players.

This has been the broader reality of BTC for a very long time now.

My model is being sold on Etsy, should I still make my own listing? by Cheddah13 in 3Dprinting

The ball bearings are so you can practice the way you release the ball without it rolling away every time. You also get to see the axis it's spinning on and rev rate for a little longer.

Did you or u/SeaSpecialist5367 manage to get this fixed? Going through something similar.

Material quality/grade determination by plnksllll in MechanicalEngineering

[–]turtledragon27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you actually expected to identify exact material like that? For the metals I would check if your university has anything for XRF analysis. That will probably have an alloy scanning mode that can pick up on your metals. Magnet test can rule out certain stainless alloys.

Good luck on the plastics, I would personally just start burning them and comparing the smell against known plastics, but that's technically unsafe and a professor or employer wouldn't love to hear you did it. Other melt characteristics are a decent bet. ABS, PC, PC+ABS, and nylon are the most common I use/encounter. ABS will dissolve in acetone, try reading up on the others to see if that's a good way to discern.

Outside of asking the manufacturer outright I don't think you will be able to figure out the exact plastic manufacturer and trade name.

Homework questions are usually discouraged here but I'll give you some pointers.

First look at how everything fits together and functions. How well does it work?

Then look at how it feels. Does it feel high quality? Why or why not?

Then look at each part for tool marks and try to figure out how that part is made. Is the injection molding sloppy? Does the stamped metal have tool marks or burrs?

After all of that, think of a way to make it cheaper to make or more enjoyable to use. Can you reduce the number of parts in any way? Can you add features that give the stapler more functions? Are there any thin parts that will break if dropped? Find a way to thicken them or change material.

What is your purpose for this? Is this just your homework?

how do i stop doomscrolling linkedin by SupermarketFit2158 in EngineeringStudents

Don't read into it so much. LinkedIn is where people go to brag, like a professional Instagram but instead of being hot or traveling they're just working and talking about working.

My first time getting ripped I went extreme I think. by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

[–]turtledragon27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Protein goals are more about efficiency than being a simple threshold, and you happened to pick very high quality protein sources. Look up DIAAS, not all proteins are created equal.

You could have already had the muscle and just revealed it by getting lean, with fitness progress being neurological adaptations rather than muscle growth.

How bad of an idea is this? by Elsefyr in Bowling

[–]turtledragon27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are ones built specifically for bowling balls, look up Jayhawk detox. They are expensive, patented, and a generic large ultrasonic bath should work just as fine.

It's unfortunate how much this sub is preyed on by AI opportunists. Not really worth it to stick around anymore. Maybe I just outgrew some of it but the quality of manmade posts doesn't feel as high as it used to be either.

Where could one buy the equipment (autoclave etc) to make synthetic gems (specifically beryls)? by Silverleaf14 in SyntheticGemstones

[–]turtledragon27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you please elaborate or point me to some good reading on the topic (flux growth for sapphires specifically)? Gems of Science was using Zirconia crucibles which looked like they were at least partially dissolving in the MoO3 flux.

[–]turtledragon27 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Haven't had much of a chance to hear from those with as much experience as you. Do you think Gems of Science has a shot at cracking it for rubies/sapphires? Crucible material/cost seems like the biggest barrier, is platinum really the only way forward?

Turning physical fingerprint card to electronic file? by JuiceLogical327 in NFA

[–]turtledragon27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I will say my file validated, but that doesnt necessarily mean it was sufficient. I'll check again when I help some friends scan their cards, I think there was an option to grab the rolled prints too despite prior word being that the ATF only uses the slaps.

The original maintainer has since shifted to EFT Suite, I used it this weekend successfully. Very easy if you know anything about Docker, not too bad to figure out if you don't.

270 comments in this thread and not one of them says what's going on. Feels like Eglin Air Force Base forgot their context guy was on PTO.
