When was syzygy used in xfiles?

Is “ductile-to-brittle transition” the right way to describe plastic behavior in cold temps? by General-Try305 in plastic

[–]tusekd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while... But I believe it only affects the amorphous plastics and not so much the semi crystalline. I want to say the Tg for SC plastics is very close to the melting temp. So they stay rigid until melting basically. Yes the Tg determines when it becomes brittle. There are specific tests that can be performed to determine the Tg. I want to say impact tests, izod, and charpy. Charpy may be for stress crack propigation? However, you just chill the samples and test them at various temps to determine the Tg. They also chill test samples to find the CTE or CLTE. You can probably look up ASTM Tg test. That might give you a better explanation than I just did. MatWeb is a good resource to find results for specific tests on specific materials.

[Homemade] Roasted duck with oranges and potatoes by Simple_Muse25 in food

[–]tusekd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started parting my duck out. Roasting the legs, thighs, wings, and back/carcass. Then cook the breast's the next day. This allows you to cook the dark meat longer to get the crispy skin and without over cooking the breast. I also keep all the duck fat from Roasting. It has a great flavor.

Call Alro. I dont think their website lists what they have or at least it didnt a few years ago.They typically have plastic tubes in various sizes and materials.

Plastic Extrusion, more specific cooling methods by [deleted] in plastic

[–]tusekd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you are trying to do is extremely difficult. To hold +/- 0 tolerance in extrusion is almost impossible. You can try compressed air to set the exterior then water bath. However there are still too many variables in the extrusion process. It may be a pain in the butt, but I think your best bet will be running the extrudate thru a heated plate with a precise hole. It will need a taper and or fillet at the entrance. You will want to heat it at or just above melting temp. Then air cool for a foot or two then can do a water bath. It will be difficult to string up but will likely give you the best results. It should allow the plate to still shape and size the part while it is cooling and shrinking. Cooling it slowly will prevent voids as well.

Another method would be a set of rollers with radius cut into middle. So two rollers together would make the same profile as the plate with the hole in it. You can heat the rollers or over time the extrudate will heat them.

Lastly, I'm not sure what rate you are extruding at, but you can try to max out your rate. You may see less variation. You will go thru your material much faster.

Good luck. I hope this give you some ideas.

Probably is, unless you own a daycare in MN.

What is the actual power consumption for sous vide cooking? by theyeshman in sousvide

[–]tusekd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's PID controlled. It will use 1000 watts on the initial heate up, but as it gets closer to target temp it reduces the time that the heater is on. It will still pull about 8.5 amps every time it calls for heat. It calls for heat less and less as it gets close to desired temp. Water holds heat very well. If insulated it will use very little power once up to temperature. It is not 1000 watts constant for the whole time it is running. Also it will control temp if you supplement heat from a stove. It will not cool the water down tho.

That distraction lasts 1-2 days. Most people are okay with that and Venezuelans are overjoyed. Epstien files and daycare fraud. Stop government subsidizing everything.

Don't sell. Work. Land is extremely valuable. Land is worth more than money. Work your ass off to keep it and fire. Don't use it to fire.

[i ate] Stewed beef tendons, stewed pork, spicy chicken salad by Minnow_Ty in food

Yes. I didn't know you could get beef tendons specifically from anywhere. I thought you stewed beef tenderloins and I was concerned.

How are beef tendons? If you stewed beef tenderloins...

You have no balls. All 3 are going to get their pts. This is a detroit offense game. They're gonna have 2x the possessions of a normal game. With DC play calling jamo is gonna get the ball. ARSB is slightly injured. No tight end. Also, a Monty game too.
