What did you do today?

[SBJ]

So far today I've had my coffee and almost had an anxiety attack. I can tell it's going to be a good day.

keep it shwifty dude, and **** on the floor... it's all gonna be ok

Yeah it's been a decent enough day it's just not fun to start out your day with that ****.
Thanks for the kind words. I don't quit know what **** on the floor means, and if you mean it literally I'd rather not because I would have to clean it up myself.

it's a rick and morty quote from his "get shwifty" "song"...    I don't think it's meant literally either, unless you really feel the urge to do so

Haha oh right I remember that now.

anxiety attack...  coffee..

Have you tried switching to decaf for a good 2 months ?

It is decaf. :/

well then, in the spirit of TP4 wanting a healthier lifestyle for all of us; switch to tea?

Yeah I did that for a while and was actually quite happy with it. I just need a warm drink in the morning before heading to work.

Hrrrrrrmmm... sounds like you need the 100% Veggie treatment..

Guaranteed to cure heart disease, diabetes, and most-early-stage-cancers..   also headaches.. !!


--- The brain is vascular.. and while there is the blood brain barrier, we still see sneaky cholesterol/fats get through given enough time..  This results in clogged brains.  When they examine the brains of stroke victims, even older fat-adults,   they see fats inside the tiny brain vessels.

---  The process of clogging is inflammation, because that's the body's first method of response..

I got bored.

[rowdy]

I sweated.

Still sweating.

It's bed time and still 34°C (93F) outside and, well, 34°C (93F) inside too.

And fecking humid.

they haz dem 10000btu airconditioning units for $600.

u just drill hole in wall, and the compressor is outside and the coil come inside.

Hrrrmmm.. I've seen windowed 8000 btu units go on sale for ~$200 during winter, or in the fall..  They're a bit louder,  but would you rather be annoyed or Swamp-Butted.

I was awakened at 4:15 AM or so by a weird hissing sound...
I located that it came from the metal lid on an old glass jar filled with apple cider vinegar that I had once been dipping steel objects into to give the a patina. I had kept it around if I would need to patina more stuff.
Apparently, the fumes of the vinegar had softened a 1/2" circular hole in the steel lid and was oozing out from a crack in the lid's paint.
I patched it with a piece of tape and went back to sleep.

I've read in several places that sleeping during teh day can help improve concentration in the afternoon.

As I got about 2 hours sleep last night due to the unpleasant weather, I thought I'd give it a go.

Got woken up 3 minutes early by someone else's phone ringing.

Now my eyes won't focus and I can't stop yawning.

Still tired as.

Afternoon nap is common in many cultures..

It's important that you get the FULL sleep cycle, otherwise you will wake up Tired..

A full cycle is approximately  15minutes (to get to sleep) + ~90mins (of sleep). 

assuming you are tired enough to fall asleep within 5 minutes, then that's 95 minutes.


I'm not sure how that gels into your workplace..

But for example in Asia,  everyone takes a long nap after lunch. -well maybe not everyone,  but many people.. -

1.5 to 2 hours for a nap won't go down well here.  Plus I'd have to get to work an extra hour or two earlier, which would mean less sleep overnight, exacerbating the problem.

Was waiting for an Uber ride outside minding my own business and some random old guy yelled, "YOU ****ING ***GOT!" at me and then handed me a fake $100 bill with Willie Nelson on it. I don't know what to make of this situation.

haven't been around here much lately, been simracing

just simraced for 9 hours today

I have a fun diy project involving simracing coming up soon though, might post about it in these forums; I'm making an h-shifter

Left work early, no one cared or even noticed. Probably not going to even show up tomorrow, no one will notice or care anyway.

I hurd about this thing.. where it's a building, potentially with rooms.

You go there, there is a counter, you can drink alcohol, only 10% of the attractive females will talk to you, and if you're really good at talking, you get xtra service..

Finished swapping box blacks into my leopold 660m

I finalized the design for a critical part in my next trebuchet using SolidWorks for the CAD software including stress analysis for roughly 3 times the intended load.  Don't worry about the visual representation of the deformation, it is magnified about 170 times for easier viewing.


This first image is the deformation scale.  Total deflection is only about 0.0035"


This image is the pressure in the part.  The simulation was tested with a 1000 pound load at the top middle filet with the two lower outside holes as the fixed points as that is where the axle for the track wheels is going to be located.

I wonder why mel is running simulation on that part, maybe there's a size constraint..

If it were me, I would've just eyeballed the general size to fit the mountings, and added a centimeter of metal all around..

Steel is pretty tough stuff, and this isn't a device for repetitious industrial use.

The reason for the simulation on the part is to minimize weight and maintain enough strength given it is a known load. And this isn't being made out of steel, it is 6061 T6 aluminum.  And no it isn't going to be for repeated industrial use, but it is going to be used fairly frequently. 

It isn't really a size constraint, but lighter is more efficient and allows more energy wasted in the carriage instead of going into the projectile.

Not sayin' you shouldn't do it

and You're correct in principle.

Buhh , steel or aluminum, thicc/thin,   even with all the load bearing metal widgets together, it's probably only a small proportion of total weight..

A soft patch of dirt is likely to have greater influence on conversion.

A soft patch of dirt is likely to have greater influence on conversion.

Overall, the plates are probably going to be roughly a third to half of the weight of the entire moving apparatus minus the counterweight which is the engine for this. 

With the way the base of the machine is going to be setup, a soft patch won't make any difference.

This is essentially what I am making.

These plates are the pieces that tie the main axle to the rollers on the track.  This machine is being designed with efficiency as a primary design criteria.  This means, outside of the counterweight, everything is being designed to be as light as feasible while retaining just enough strength.  The throwing arm is going to be carbon fiber with a guy wire made from multiple strands of 65 lb test braided dyneema fishing line, because it doesn't stretch and while carbon fiber is very stiff and light weight, flex is a bad thing outside of its envelope.  It has a very small elastic deformation window before it breaks.  But up until that it is very strong and stiff.
