  • Boston judge holds ICE agent in contempt after man detained mid-trial

    Jump

  • Actually, they're fucked. If cops start ignoring judges, citizens can start ignoring cops. If there is no law backing the law enforcement, then they're nothing but armed terrorists and should be dealt with accordingly. Id LOVE to see ICE try some shit in LA or Fresno.

  • The bigger problem is that genuine law enforcement efforts are discouraged from actually catching pedophiles because they often end up being constituents of those same cops, either politically or socially. It's either a priest, a super PAC donor, or another cop on the other end of that investigation.

  • One does not "get" thermite. One makes thermite. All you need is powdered rust, aluminum powder, a rough ratio of the two by weight, and a sufficient heat source like a magnesium strip to light it off.

  • Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?

    Jump

  • First, you're just wrong. You know there are 2 amp wireless chargers, right?

    And you're missing a group that gains MASSIVE benefits from wireless charging, which is the disabled. Imagine your hands never stop shaking and you either have to try to fiddle a USB C into an Itty bitty slot, or just plonk the phone down on a puck. Which one would appeal to you?

  • The new video of federal agents ambushing a student and disappearing with her should chill you to your core

  • Badges are cheap and can be easily faked. Without additional confirmation (squad car, uniform, LEO id), its absolutely reasonable to assume these people are impersonating police officers and are therefore criminals.

    In America, we have the right to shoot criminals who resist detention. I have a feeling these pigs would resist. All you need is an excuse.

  • This is a fantastic way to get cops shot and killed in the street. Please, PLEASE try this shit in Oakland or Los Angeles I am begging you.

  • Need a knife?

    Jump

  • My frost mora is the best, cheapest, sharpest big boy knife i ever bought. Paid like $20 maybe 15 years ago and it's been an absolute monster. Rarely needs sharpening, and the sharpening is a breeze thanks to the gorgeous saber grind that came with it. Honestly can't talk up morakniv enough.

  • You'd be surprised how slow machining can be. Cutting speeds are all in sfm (surface feet per minute) and when you have a BIG part, them feets add up quick. Check out videos of big old vertical lathes running big parts. You can get down to a quarter of an rpm but the flange or fitting is so fucking huge that you're still pushing 100-200 sfm at the bit.

  • There are no "typical values" when you're running a mill or lathe. You could look up "speeds and feeds", but that's really just a table that you plug into an equation to figure out how to set the machine. It all depends on what you're doing and what you're doing it with. Drilling a hole with a high speed steel drill bit is going to be a bit different than drilling it with a carbide spade, and all that is going to depend heavily on whether you're trying to run through titanium or tin. You need to fine tune running "x" bit through "y" material for a "z" sized cut.

    Essentially, this is the knowledge that separates skilled labor from manual labor, and machining is (was, RIP cnc button pushers) skilled labor.

    At the end of the day for most metal machining you'll need between 50hp and 100hp to be up to modern standards. If you want to get that through steam or electric motors or whatever that's up to you

  • Torque is the real limiting factor. You can always gear up or down for whatever you're working on, but at the end of the day you need enough torque to get the work done. And a proper milling machine needs A LOT of torque.

    Jump

  • You don't need an electric motor. You just need enough spin. I've seen old mills and lathes that run on steam. An electric motor just happens to be very convenient with our current technology.

  • What's something that's seen as Obsolete, but isn't?

    Jump

  • Sure, but it's not as impressive (imo) when you also need a computer control system, a bunch of circuitry and electronics, and a whole mess of software to make it work in the end. A mill just needs enough spin and it runs exactly as intended.

  • What's something that's seen as Obsolete, but isn't?

    Jump

  • Pretty much anything in a machine shop made in the last 80 years or so. So many people turn up their noses at anything that isn't computer controlled anymore. Yknow what a big old mill can do that a CNC can't? It can make every single part needed to make a new mill. It's a self replicating machine with the right know how. People don't respect that kind of quality anymore.

  • It has the capability, but not the doctrine. Most nato countries have a mutually assured destruction policed enforced by secondary strikes in retaliation for a nuclear attack. France says "fuck that" and has a nuclear warning shot. None of the retaliatory nonsense. Clear aggression will be met with a limited nuclear strike and a dare to do something about it and start the real fireworks.

    All "nuclear doctrine" is just outlining how far each country is willing to hold when playing chicken. America can afford to sit back and wait to retaliate because no one strike can feasibly take down every nuke America has. France doesn't really have that option, so their public stance is to use nukes as soon as their ability to use said nukes could be compromised, hence preemptive nuclear option.
