Any reliable reporting coming out on all these boats and crews that are being blown up?
(The 'Drug War' has been blatantly evil for decades. We know there's a good chance the official narrative is bullshit, and there certainly is no nuance.)
Are they fishing, smuggling, or both?
Huh. I'm not sure how far back furries go.
If not, it's certainly proto furry porn. Pretty sure it predates the formulation of Rule 34.
This is great info! I use the plain jane P100 instead of dust masks all the time.
General respirator info for all my peeps:
3M 6000 half face and 7000 full face series reapirators are where it's at. They're worth the money even if you only ever use it for home repair.
I use one of them with the P100 disks all the time for dust, mold, grinding, drilling into possible asbestos, etc. Also effective against droplet born disease such as coronavirus. The organic vapor cartridge above also does particulate as a P100 (the organic vapor portion has a limited lifespan once opened, IIRC, but the filtration is indefinite). P100 particulate filtering lasts a long time, however, before they clog. Years with normal homeowner use.
Read up on sizing. Most average cis male sized heads will be a large. Average cis female sized head is medium.
If using a half face in an infectious or chemical environment, swim googles will protect your eyes.
Illinois nazis? I hate Illinois nazis.
I really like your analysis.
I really fucking hope you're right.
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like a digital version of that book has ever been released. (Other than reference text, I almost exclusively read ebooks). I did grab the documentary, sounds interesting.
Any chance you can recommend a book that covers German cryptography and the OSS effort within Germany to spy on it before and during the war?
From what I understand from diagrams and descriptions, it was a surprisingly simple device. Especially before the plugboard. I haven't tried to run the numbers or played with it, but I would think just an 8bit microcontroller could break enigma encoding in seconds or less.
When it comes to mechanical math devices, should I ever get to retire or be rich: I want to reproduce a Curta Calculator. Super neat devices.
Another similar device that I've used is the dividing or indexing head. They are used to precisely locate angled machining operations such as hobbing gears, cutting bolt heads, accurate bolt hole circles, etc.
I never really figured out you had to drive as fast as possible and that the fuel level was actually a countdown timer. I was crazy about the cartoon and remember being so disappointed with the game.
Recently read The Code Book by Singh and it covered the Poles and Turing. It's a layman's history about cryptography and is pretty good. I found it a little simplistic, but I figure I have a better than average understanding of the field due to my interest in computers. It was published in '99, but the current day cryptography it covers is still pretty relavant.
Rock and Roll!
What cheap woods are the most impact resistant for splintering and splitting?
What is the best way to cure wood to prevent splitting without a kiln? Slap a heavy coat of latex paint on a log/burl/root and let it sit 6mo/year?
What are the most machinable hardwoods? (In particular as regards tearout, warping, and tolerance of thin sections)
In your opinion, what is an available underappreciated or interesting wood to work?
Are you actually a wood scientist, and, if so; can I pick your brain?
Nice saw, BTW!
Porque no los dos?
I've found that subs really dig it when you've machined your own spanky tools...
Also, HAAS are some jank ass machines. Tiny ways, newer controls are glitter covered shit, they fucked up the remote handwheel...
