  • Lots of manufacturing operations are terrible to work for, but there is a general gap in the manufacturing labor pool in the US. I've worked at a handful of different shops over the years, and most places I've been have offered decent bonuses for recruitment referrals because they struggled to find people. Even the places that paid decent and were aright to work at.

  • I've had a lot of wildlife encounters, including bears, wolves and moose, but seeing a wolverine is the only time I've ever removed the safety from my bear spray, and one of the few times I've started to psych myself up mentally to fight an animal.

    Luckily it was pretty much a non story, I was hiking up a forest service road in western Montana on the Pacific Northwest Trail, and heard a noise behind me. I turned to see what looked like a 4ft tall badger trundle out of the bush about 40 feet back. It kinda stood or sat up on its back legs and we locked eyes for moment as I drew and readied bear spray. The moment passed and it slumped back to all fours and just ambled away down the forest service road away from me.

  • Trades did well for me, and financially nearly all my close friends who went trades are doing better than nearly all my close friends who went to college.

  • Oh that's what's freaking them out?

  • Does this even matter?? The chilling effect of 245% vs 145% or even 45% has gotta be pretty marginal.

  • "Freak"

  • Is it really next to no maintenance, or is that just ad copy?

    Have you noticed much ride feel difference between it and a chain?

    Do you know much about different belt drive systems / if they are really materially different from each other? Seems like its kinda between gates and veer for options?

    As far as Internally geared hubs, I've only ever ridden old sturmy archer, I'm guessing modern ones have come a long way, but how do they perform?

  • Electric skateboards seem cool but terrifying. A friend of mine broke both their legs on an electric skateboard like 3 or 4 years ago and is only just now starting to be able to do real physical activity again. They weren't new to electric skateboards either, it'd been one of their main modes of transit for like a decade at that point.

  • World class conciliator

  • Its pretty reasonable that if you see a thing that is disguising itself as spam, and you don't know that it is only disguising itself as spam. To one, not click the link, but also to downvote or report and move on.

    The person making the joke probably knows that it is probably going to have a high miss rate, which doesn't mean they shouldn't do it.

  • What is the swim shuffle??

  • I already mainly write with #1s

  • Yeah, looking at the wiki page for the cam workbench seems like it could probably handle VMC work, but even basic turning didn't sound super well supported, let alone any kind of mill/turn or multi axis work.

  • Interesting, I hadn't ever seen any discussion of cam side stuff in freecad, I might have to keep tabs on it a bit more. Looking at their wiki pages for the cam workbench it seems pretty far from adequate for my needs though.

  • Does free cad have any cam functionality?

  • Bivvy sacs are just that style of shelter, you can put different sleeping pads and bags in them to get setups that will be comfortable at different temp ranges.

  • Innovative??? It's a fucking bivvy sac

  • I'm not sure it's logistically feasible even if they really wanted to at this point.

    This video is less than 10 mins, and uses pretty rounded off numbers, but it's very illustrative of the magnitude of guns in america. Even going beyond any other problems that enforcement would have like non compliant sheriffs and organized resistance.
