Woah, this could be really cool for certain kinds of machine motion if it is computationally easy/fast/cheap.
Sitting on the inside here. I'm perpetually astounded as well. Very little of this suprises me anymore but plenty of things shock me.
He's a stereotypical conman; so shallow, so obvious. And yet, my family and former friends continue to slurp up his bullshit. It's so fucking stupid. He's so stupid. On paper, many of these people are smarter than the orange used car salesman.
It's difficult to describe how astounded I really am. Black magic or aliens would make more sense. I would find a novel or show with this unrealistic.
I wonder if I'll ever understand?
It's disturbing that I can't automatically tell if the title is satire.
I actually dated a girl who had a chambered pussy. She was born with mild spina bifida, and there was a scar on her tailbone.
Anyhow, she loved doggy style. I'd get going good and then pop the head of my dick into the alcove, she'd cum her brains out.
Fun times.
I've known several men that were proud that they didn't read books. (Not that they read manga or anything, either.)
One of them, in particuular, was a grown up version of a stereotypical highschool bully. Willfully ignorant doesn't begin to describe him. I ever meet him in a dark alley, I'd fucking gut him.
Anyhow, this behaviour (pride in ignorance) among women is rare enough that I've never seen it. When I was doing online dating, I had great success asking what they're reading and using decent grammar and vocabulary.
Anti-intellectualism and willfull ignorance have a lot to do with the situation here in the US. I think it's mostly a male problem as well.
I like the "No Kings!" messaging, simple and pointed. We need a slogan that is short and sweet for the soldiers to use. Something that shows them they have agency in this.
Man, this shit just keeps being funny. The longer it stays funny, the better it affects all involved.

Grounding an Ethernet surge protector.
(lemmy.world)
I have added a wifi repeater to the outside of my home so that my wife can watch her critter cams. It is a POE device that runs all the way back to my router.
Would like to install this surge protector but I'm getting conflicting information on grounding it. My installation is to the side of my house, not a metal pole.
Lowest effort options first, I can:
A. Place the protector inside near where the CAT5 enters the basement. Ground to a junction box that I installed that is grounded to the house panel and rod.
B. Ground internally to a water pipe or externally to the outdoor spigot.
C. Drive a ground rod where the cable exits the house and ground to it.
D. Repeat C and also bond to to the pre-existing home ground rod. (Least preferable option, rods would be on opposite corners of house.)
Thank you for bringing this up. Anytime this fuckwit is allowed back in the public eye, this should be right at the top to help invalidate the shit he spews.

Just looking up some DIY medical procedures and then the unwanted AI goes off the rails.

Large ceramic or stoneware piece.
(lemmy.world)
Found this broken piece in the creek bank. Southwest Pennsylvania. Farmhouse was built in 1922. Coalmining country.
Would have been about 18" in diameter. There is a rough coating in the glaze on the inside and outside of the bowl section. Abrasive enough that I figure it served a mechanical purpose. There are three grooves on the rim that aren't symmetrical to each other.
There might be a makers mark in the center of the glaze inside but I can't make it out. There is also a light blue/green stain on the bottom that might be a mark.
Any ideas?

Rewinding an electromagnetic clutch.
(lemmy.world)
The electric PTO clutch on my 1969 mini tractor is dead and discontinued.
Original winding is aluminum 18 gauge. Manufacturer specs were 2.88ohms, 237 turns. The manufacturer specs didn't quite physically match what I found when I took apart the old clutch. If I understand this correctly, the 2.88ohms is the most important part and will pull 4.17 amps.
I just attempted a coil with 18 gauge copper magnet wire. I made it to the max dimensions I can get in the housing with a scramble wind. I'm getting 1.2 ohms, which would pull 10 amps or so. Not good.
Was able to get 187 feet given the resistance.
If I go with 20 gauge copper, assuming I can get 235 feet (1.26 * 187) and I should get 2.319 ohms. Probably get a little more than 235 feet and get the resistance up a little more.
What does this do to the strength of the magnetic field?
Would I be better off putting a power resistor in series with my 18 gauge coil?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
For a large chunk of my career, I worked in aerospace and 'defense' machining. Made all kinds parts for all kinds of weapons, it was really cool! Murica! As I got older, I lost my religion, I lost the far right brainwashing I was raised with.
My hands were making weapons that the US government was often selling to other countries. My hands were making weapons to kill various groups of brown people all over the world. It really began to bother me.
I no longer make things to kill people.
Yes, you are culpable for the effects of what you produce in your profession. A thinking person should consider the effects of their work.
I actually respect vegans that are vegan to prevent the suffering of animals.
I get it. Grew up farming. Chicken houses are an industrial horror machine.
We've recently bought a play farm and hope to raise or hunt all our meat. Only the slaughter and butchering of steers will be outsourced. Takes some serious equipment to handle an animal that large.
I'm an omnivore by evolution and enjoy meat and hunting. I'm always a little sad when I kill something, however. I figure that sadness means I'm human and is a good thing. When I eat meat from something I killed, it means more. There is a lot of respect involved in it as well something like religion.
If more people had to kill their meat, we would probably live in a very different world and there would be a lot more vegans.
Y'all are motherfucking gangsters. Appreciate the work you're putting in. I don't do your kind of code or I'd pitch in. Much love. ♥️
