Yup. I guess the medical term is “Vasovagal syncope” but the vagus nerve does a lot of stuff..

Hey that’s me!
Vagus nerve overstimulation or something, whenever I get needle poked or blood drawn I tend to pass out to varying degrees of badness.

Numbers like that should have been why you kept going in mech E.
Once you get past the educational stage, every one of those calculations becomes “OK now round to the closest whole number that gives you the larger factor of safety and move on”
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 4 weeks ago:
Honestly that’s a complaint I have about nearly every pencil, not just the zebra. They’re almost always hard and smudgy because the pencil has been sitting out either in a warehouse or on an office supply shelf for like 5 years.
I’d rather bring my own hi-poly brick eraser, or even better, a hi-poly retractable eraser that is a lot easier to control and keep a fresh, smudge-free surface on. - Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 4 weeks ago:
#8 all the way.
If I had to do sketch design drafting with a pen or wooden pencil in college and not a 0.5 mechanical, I would have probably become a school shooter.

- Comment on Sony launches new version of the best cheap 4K Blu-ray player that drops the streaming tech – but the price looks odd 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I haven’t seen any of that either, probably because OLED burn in and limited brightness lifespan would make them basically unserviceable as static or even slideshow displays.
- Comment on Sony launches new version of the best cheap 4K Blu-ray player that drops the streaming tech – but the price looks odd 5 weeks ago:
They already exist. You just have to look for “signage displays” or “commercial TV’s”, they come with all the smart crap stripped out.
- Comment on Sony launches new version of the best cheap 4K Blu-ray player that drops the streaming tech – but the price looks odd 5 weeks ago:
I hope we’re not paying more for a player that does less…
You are and will be, as the cost of hardware in “smart” devices (and the reason that non-smart TV’s no longer exist) are subsidized with on-device advertising and massive data collection/reselling.

- Comment on Do you think aluminum bronze would be a good razor material? 2 months ago:
Ahhh. Important distinction.
In that case it is likely just a cost and practicality thing. Copper alloys are significantly more expensive than stainless steels or plastics. They’re a little harder to form and shape as well due to their cold work hardening properties (the more you bend it, the harder it gets, until it breaks; stainless is more ductile in this regard).
It would be pretty, but I guess manufacturers have likely not determined an economic benefit to making a higher end, more expensive, harder to manufacture razor body out of these metals.

- Comment on Do you think aluminum bronze would be a good razor material? 2 months ago:
Not hard enough and thus not sharp enough.
Aluminum bronze can be strong but it cannot get very hard (my Google says around 27 Rockwell C hardness). A typical razor blade is at least 60 HRC.
The hardness of a material generally dictates how sharp of an edge can be put on it. Harder materials do not deflect away from your grinding wheel and can thus keep a narrower, sharper edge. Also harder materials keep an edge longer and better.That aluminum bronze would make a good corrosion resistant blade, but you wouldn’t be able to get (or keep) it sharp enough to make for a comfortable shave.

Your first mistake here is assuming he can read.
- Comment on If you can find the oil filter, I'll give you a quarter. If you can get it out after the lube tech tightened it to 325 lbft, I'll give you sixty bucks. 2 months ago:
I detect Honda B-series engine. Damn, if only I hadn’t spent the last 5 years of my life exclusively working on my own Honda of identical build.
Your oil filter is accessed from underneath the car, you will need a set of ramps or a floor jack and jackstands.
It is on the rear side of the engine block, horizontally screwed onto the side of the block. Basically trace your exhaust pipe straight back as it goes under the oil pan, then go up. It’s not terribly hard to reach.
Get yourself a locking chain wrench like this to try and get it off. I’ve been able to get off even the most fucked oil filters with one
- Comment on Anon has a business idea 2 months ago:
That seems totally fine. If he is upfront with clients that images are AI generated/uptouched and that is what they are paying for, that’s just called running a business that innovated a saturated market. He found a way to produce a product and do it cheaper than everyone else.
