re: Decade old on this, but 3D printing is amazing
Posted by duckdude on 11/15/23 at 8:50 am
A company called "Relativity Space" is 3D printing rockets so they can custom fit a rocket to deliver your desired payload to orbit. They have sent at least one to space so far and it held up to the desired pressures :bow:...

re: Paging OT Engineers…Dragline Hits Bridge and Bends Metal Girder
Posted by duckdude on 11/6/23 at 12:18 pm
Are those girders 36ksi and does the before mentioned "heat it and bend back" reduce the strength?
I ask just in general terms, I know there are things that could be done to strengthen after bending but I'm curious if the heat treatment in of itself would weaken the beam from it's original design...

In a rifle case with TSA locks and keep the ammo in original box if possible.
Check in at same place u check in baggage. Some airlines it counts as one of your check baggage's so it's no extra fee.
Of course have weapons unloaded in case:)

Deck Paint

The gelcoat on the interior of my 16' fiberglass Skiff is pretty wore out and I'm looking for suggestions on a good easily applied new finish? What type finish would ya'll suggest or is the durability of gelcoat still the best option?
I mostly use the boat for red-fishing so it's a saltwater env...

Fatality in boating accident here last weekend, make sure everything is in order, I would expect a high presence of patrolling. Accident was in the Jordan River not far north of I-10 but I wouldn’t more safety checks than normal. Good luck, bring some Gnat gear just in case...

re: Job offer - Am I just being stubborn?
Posted by duckdude on 2/1/23 at 2:05 pm
Some really good advice has been given.
If more money interest you I would take plenty of time and look around before making any commitment, you might be surprised what opportunities are out there for you and I agree that their offer seems low for a P.E. in that area of the country.

I thought the targeting call on the goal line was just as bad. The QB was being thrown to the ground and was on the goal line when the second defender led with his shoulder and trying to prevent the ball carrier from the crossing the goal line, in what universe is that targeting?...

I have had good luck with "lock tight" and the "Gorilla Glue".
Make sure you don't get to much or your vanes will stick to the Arizona jig.
Wraps are another good thing to add, easier clean up and removal for the next time you have to fletch the same arrow....

Someone already mentioned it but cleaning is very important! Sand down anything you can and make it shiny as possible. When working on tubing sand it until very clean and use a lot of flux! Also if you put the heat on the inside of the joint you are working on it will draw the solder to the heat and...

re: Streaming TV Packages

Looks like the Sling Orange package (sports&news) is only 35/month. youtube and hulu are +/-65/month.
If all you are looking for is college football is there a reason to not use Sling TV? Or am I missing something?...
