@_baldtires @JulianFried I have owned my E-class wagon for less than a year and have accumulated a mountain of these from not all that much wrenching.

Name a fastener more loved by engineers and more hated by service techs

@rfkenmore I also really like the Buck Mason Pima tee for a lightweight tee. Made in USA too, unlike the field spec.

WHAT MEN ARE NOT REGRETTING
1. Buck Mason
Heavyweight/Field-Spec T-shirts (100% cotton and sturdy)
2. J.Crew
Broken-in straight chinos (perfect chino fit between loose and slim)
3. Uniqlo
Tees and full-wardrobe basics (value)
Other mentions:

Fellas From which clothing brand did you most recently make a worthwhile purchase? Work, gym, casual — anything

Most of the learning only happens once you have a machine to use. It’s all the physical realities of work holding, setups, probing stock, speeds and feeds, and actually putting features where you want relative to each other. The easy part is making cam that looks like it will make your part in the simulation.

Lifting 4x a week with a calorie deficit LOL
Westside L.A. Guy@WestsideLAGuy
If you're a single man, and you're not operating at a net caloric deficit, not lifting 3-4x a week, not taking care of your skin, you're simply COOKED in the dating market. Being chubby & wearing a backwards cap & Ole Miss shirt does not attract women (post-college). Period.

@WestsideLAGuy Deficits are for losing fat. If you only ever operate in a calorie deficit you will literally die.

@MurrayHillGuy1 That’s a fast bulk, which will shift the balance of the weight gain more in the fat direction. And also that’s enough protein even on the low end for a person who weighs over 200lbs. Perhaps the training is not very good.
English
My friend eats 5–6 protein bars a day, 2–3 scoops of powder, and ground beef for dinner.
Gained 25 lbs in 4 months… barely any muscle.
Are protein bars/powder just the biggest fitness scam?

Prop 13 does screw up a lot of the incentive structure for housing. No denying it. But it’s hard to remove it in a state where taxes are otherwise high, public services are perceived to be poor, boondoggles like high speed rail exist, homeless problem never gets fixed, etc. Homeownwers (perhaps rightly) feel like “Ok here’s the one place I’m finally getting a break”. You might be able to get prop 13 removed if you bundled the removal with other tax and budget cuts.

We have a landed gentry in California, despite America basically being defined by rebellion to that idea
Romy@Romy_Holland
I recently found out California lets people keep the original tax rate on inherited property so long as they use it as their primary residence. my terrible next door neighbor who berates children for ringing her doorbell on halloween pays property tax on a $100k value because she had the good fortune to inherit her $1.7mm house. sometimes I feel like California is the place where they said "what if we just tried every bad housing policy JUST TO SEE."

@emmysteuer They’re wrong, but it’s completely harmless and kind of fun imo that such people exist.

I didn’t realize how many flat earthers there are. I shouldn’t have to live among these people

How long does it actually take a man to get over someone he truly cared for?
Because he usually doesn’t, he just finds a distraction, a shiny object to distract him from feeling what he needs to feel
Eventually the distraction has to figure out whether she’s the next chapter… or just that, a distraction.

@Mike_M_Klotz @ITangoI No but it can go 60-0 in under 3s when the frame snaps in half on a 2 lane road and it slides over the line and slams head on into someone going the opposite direction.

@EricIsInSF @ITangoI A gmt400 can’t go 260mph or 0-60 under 3s

I’m with Bugatti on this one.
Any vehicle capable of those speeds shouldn’t be patched up and resold after being totaled with structural damage
R!cky W.@wayne_m159
So Matt Armstrong successfully reassembled that Bugatti Chiron and got it to run on the first attempt, I wonder how Bugatti's chairman..Mate Rimac will feel about this😂😂😂
English
@Mike_M_Klotz @ITangoI For every one Bugatti Chiron put back together like this (there is only one), there are literally millions of rust belt vehicles being used as daily drivers with completely rotten frames and brakes. I really don’t think this Chiron is that big of a concern.
English
@ITangoI So someone owns a street-legal carbon fiber monocoque chassis with prior structural damage capable of sub-3-s 0-60 and over 250mph…..
Do you know anything about the brittleness of carbon fiber?

i have three freight shipments arriving tomorrow

@Alex_Hoganson “More than a year of my salary” is the biggest understatement on earth. The metrology setup required for a shop to inspect to that level on a variety of features would cost many millions of dollars.
English
five decimal places on a drawing is for precision optics, maybe medical equipment, and the most important clearances on your turbomachinery. the equipment/room it would take to measure this wood handle is more than a year of my salary
EV_Trapper@EV_Trapper
If you are trying to get into engineering or you are an aspiring engineer, here is what an engineer drawing should look like today. There is no standard in terms of how to mark the dimensions outside of "ensure you get them all". Some people like to make a 0 line & start from there, but that's not my style personally. I still make engineer drawings and you should to, but they are becoming less & less useful because everybody just wants to upload a .step file & go from there. In my work flow the 3D model is created first & the engineer drawing after. This is because fusion360 makes it so simple & easy to make what comes to your mind! If you were at a big firm & they wanted paper copies, then you have to go find a print shop with a plotter who can print the actual engineer drawings. It's rare now & days, but it does still happen! Any wood workers out there? What's the fastest way for me to make these? I think I need a steel form & to make them on a lathe, but what do you think? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
English
@Cernovich Nope. Gotta teach good decision-making. I’m prioritizing my retirement. My kids should aim for good grades and merit scholarships and choose schools with the most merit aid. If they truly max out their efforts and work hard, I’ll gladly contribute, but it’s not my top priority.🤷🏼♀️
English
@_baldtires Combination of pallet jack and other hydraulic items, Burke bar, machine skates. But really a used Big Joe hand forklift is really nice to have.
English
how do you guys move 4000 lb machines around ur shops without a big fucking forklift
English
@mirandanover I agree, I’m just saying if you like eggs you can eat a couple for breakfast during a cut and still hit the protein and carbs you want.
English
@EricIsInSF IMO you should save a lot of room for carbs to fuel training and recovery on a cut, which is infeasible if you eat that much fat
English
both steak and eggs have a bad protein to calorie ratio.
the best:
- egg whites
- chicken breast
- white fish, shrimp, tuna
- 93/7 ground beef/turkey
- low fat greek yogurt
@levelsio@levelsio
Essentially you HAVE to eat 2x massive 300g steaks + 6 eggs every single day if you want do it naturally without protein powder
English
@AlpacaAurelius Depends if you need ground clearance. If no, full size wagon. If yes, 4Runner or XJ Cherokee.

what's the best all around adventure and day to day car?
