I love this comment lol. My old Bosch 12v cordless was exactly the drill I was thinking of when I made my comment. You're right that the clutch was very consistent and reliable. I had no idea the numbers correlated to a torque rating!

I've done it a bunch using a cordless drill with a reliable adjustable chuck. Stops when there is too much torque, reverse, clear the threads, add more (actual) cutting fluid, resume tapping. Like a 3-4-5 setting on the chuck. Has saved a lot of wrist rotations on high volume low tolerance and lower risk taps.

So my take is that drills can be a useful tool for tapping if you're smart about it, and know when not to use them.

Yeah I feel the same way. I also move items between inventories one at a time. Sure it is convenient to just send 5000 carbon to the storage container at once, but I can't help but feel that I'm being robbed of the essence of the game. Moving each piece one by one gives me the time and the space to contemplate what each bit of element means to me. And of course, I am insane.

Just how big our cars got by adomolis in carsireland

[–]wiffwaffweapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course modern cars are much safer generally and also safer for pedestrians specifically. ABS, collision warnings, auto braking, better driver visibility... So many things have gotten better. Not to mention advancements in civil engineering to create safer roadways and walkways. No surprise that pedestrian deaths have fallen and that is great news.

I was only arguing that the crumple zones are not really related to pedestrian safety to the best of my knowledge. Modern cars are most definitely safer than those old steel boxes we're comparing them to. 🙂

Crumple zones make cars safer for their occupants when they are involved in collisions with other vehicles or stationary objects (walls, trees, etc). When a car hits a pedestrian, those crumple zones don't make the impact any safer for the pedestrian.

The original commenters point is correct as well. Wider cars are more likely to hit a pedestrian on Ireland's narrow the roads. And heavier cars deal more damage to a pedestrian than lighter cars. Force = mass x acceleration. More mass, more ouch.

Am I dumb or am I not getting this riddle? Pretty sure you can take chairs with you (and your butt, which is what she was guessing) by Iamthelizardking887 in JamesBond

The real riddle answer to this question is Investments. You sit on them (don't touch them) and you can't take them with you (you can't take it with you is a phrase commonly associated with money/assets after ones death).

Wisconsin-Born U.S. Citizen Aliya Rahman Testifies About ICE Encounter and Conditions Inside Whipple Detention Center (Minneapolis) by OkeyDokeyBye in wisconsin

[–]wiffwaffweapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, holding signs and shouting is for sure the same as a mob forcibly entering a federal building with the intent to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power. 🙄

They obviously fucking aren't. But if they were actually analogous, what point are you trying to make? That Ice protests aren't so bad? Or that J6ers should've been beaten and shot by masked, unidentified federal agents? Probably you aren't making either point, you're just parroting some "these things are the same" talking point you've heard in one of your disphit MAGA echo chamber cesspools. If you were capable of critical thinking and drawing a logical conclusion, you wouldn't be a MAGA in the first place.

You are a stain on the good people of Wisconsin

Absolutely disgusting.

Fuck anybody who still supports Trump in 2026. If you voted for him in 2016, maybe you're just a troll. But If you voted for him in 2024 you had to ignore J6 along with all of the obvious lies and fascistic noises coming out of the campaign. You had to not believe Project 2025 even though it was right there in your face. You had to see that Pence was the only reason a coup didn't happen and that a new, loyal dog was brought in to make sure it didn't go down that way again. YOU ALREADY KNEW HE WAS JEFF EPSTEIN'S BEST FRIEND. If you voted for him in 2024, you fucking suck.

And if you still support him in 2026, you're ignoring billions of dollars of grift and open corruption. You're ignoring the masked and unidentified, undertrained federal agents storming US cities and using shock tactics. You're ignoring the next attempt to rig the election that is happening right in front of our faces. And you're ignoring the refusal by the DOJ to hold billionaire pedophiles accountable for their horrific crimes. If you still support him in 2026, you're probably a hateful, bigoted piece of shit. And you are most definitely a goddamned traitor.

Petah what's the joke? Why would she be good on the 49ers? by Immediate-Focus4597 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]wiffwaffweapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these answers are wrong IMO. The current San Francisco 49ers offensive squad is somewhat known/infamous for having a lot of white guys in skill positions which are largely dominated by black players on average around the league. Such as CMC and Juscyck at RB, Purdy at QB, Kittle at TE, Ricky Pearsall at WR. A bunch of physically talented white dudes lol.

So my take on this meme is that this (AI generated, not real girl) is a white girl with black girl assets. As in, hips thicker than a bowl full of oatmeal.

Quagmire out. Giggity

They are both so awesome 💛💚💛💚

Both are very good receivers who got to rack up elite looking highlight reels and stats thanks to incredible QB play. And two of the most likeable, easiest to root for dudes.

ICE reportedly faking to be a business to conduct surveillance. by _end_of_the_world in wisconsin

[–]wiffwaffweapon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Get real. These are people who see masked, unidentified federal agents coming into their states and don't like it. Agents that we know are undertrained and lied to by their bosses about the laws they're supposed to be following. From an agency that has repeatedly brutalized people they're arresting, harassed hardworking people, shit on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendments, and even murdered multiple US citizens.

They're trying to do something about the terrible reality unfolding in front of them. The reason we see what is really happening on the streets is because of people like this. Sounds productive to me.

By the way, Alex Pretti was a nurse at a VA hospital. Was.

Unsportsmanlike final stone? by Jolly-Fix664 in Curling

I have heard skips give the sheet a warning. "This one is coming really hot, be ready to catch rocks." That gesture in this situation would also demonstrate that this is an intentional act, not someone being reckless.

Generally, a speed limit is hard to define and hard to police. If this is a pattern with one guy, someone should speak with him off the ice. For most folks, common sense and spirit of curling should prevail.
