This is a really good 3 part series on measuring the error motion of a precision spindle that I found really interesting and wanted to share.

11.5mm seems like a really oddball length. 12mm is the closest common length, and 0.5mm (.020") isn't much. Have you already confirmed that a 12mm long screw won't work? If so, grinding the tip down slightly with a rotary tool or bench grinder may be your best bet. If you can, thread a nut onto the screw before you grind it down. That way any threads that are messed up by the grinding will be restored when you take the nut off.

I know this is a shitpost, but in case anyone is curious this link has a video of what can happen if a plane has unsecured weight onboard that is allowed to move around.

Not a geologist. Clearly the best best lasagna can be found at depths below 2m.

But seriously, what are we looking at? I assume the solid white line at 0m is the slab itself. What's the wavy white line just below 0m?

Hey, who spilled this noncredibledefense in my science_memes?

Huh, I didn't realize my friends were on Lemmy...

The generic term is bullet connector. That's the male side, so you'll need a matching female connector. Did the head unit come with a bag of hardware or anything?

I suppose I'm shilling here, but check out rockauto.com for car parts. They carry an insane number of car parts for basically wholesale prices. A lot of times you can still buy the individual parts instead of entire assemblies.

Nah bro, these 7 data points are trending downwards, therefore we can totally project with 95% confidence that humans will be running a sub-6 second 100m on all fours by the year 2100.

Wow. Slandering Mr Rogers just seemed like such a ridiculous statement that I assumed the poster above was exaggerating. What a bunch of scumbags.

I suppose I could have googled that myself, but thank you for sharing the link.

You see something similar on metalworking videos: "I just used this scrap piece of steel/brass/copper/aluminum I had laying around". Conveniently leaving out the fact that it's hundreds of dollars of raw material.

I asked "is it famous?" ๐Ÿ‘

I asked "is it in North America?" ๐Ÿ‘Ž

It was an oven lol.
