-The cheapest option was to just force the motor to stop spinning by hand Ah, yes that's why I recall thinking doing the trick caused the disc drives to fail.

I recall having 'burnt out' two optical drives on hand-me-downed PS1's. Instead of needing a mod chip, you could jam the internal open/close switch mechanism closed. Allowing you to open the disc tray while it was still

I mean, rubber is certainly important when compared modern compounds to stuff from the 60's & 70's. But the advent of ABS and Disc Brakes is also a big factor in stopping power & distance.

Welding seems to be this fruit that people reach for when they think of Trades. There's lots of welding schools churning out 'graduates' throughout the year. Welders are almost always the first guys laid off in shops. The &#x

Reading some blog spam and learning about 'Box Breathing' really helped me. Apparently it's used by Navy Seals, but it really helps me get to sleep if I can't. Or in stressful or sudden situations, it really helps clear

Sure it might be 'worse' equipment. However experts were operating it. And then you further get into an analog vs digital discussion. And that they were recording on 'the best' analog equipment of the time.

Not really digging it. Really liked Lynch's, even though it's a bit off in a few aspects(weirding way changes, trying to 1:1 a book:movie, etc). But just the amount of passion and effort that went into it(costumes, practical effec

Issue is with controllers is that you can't manually defrost anymore. They rely on boards like you said, or thermistors that only close when cold to turn on the defrost coil. Look up if your fridge has an actual manual defrost method(r

While you can weld with a torch and they are portable(no electricity), don't really call them 'welders'.

And I suspect there's just lots of 'normal' people footage left on the cutting room floor. Combined with the fact that he doesn't spend long with them either once he realizes they're not 'content'.

There's been a real dip in strap quality. I remember the only thing that would kill one was complete destruction(crushing) or simply losing it. Ones I've purchased in past 5~ years all have had straps fail. They've clearly sw

I know people love games, but a lot of the suggestions have writing on par with if not worse than Mass Effect. Give Disco Elysium a go. The writing's good, but how it uses Gameplay to explore that writing is what makes it great. Simila

10% is massive in a piece of metal rotating so quickly. Tiny pistons is how some motorcycles got incredible power out of small displacement(and ridiculous gearboxes). 20,000 RPM engines, 150mph/240kmh out of 250cc(4-stroke as well). An

There are 'quick dry' inks. Combined with a fine nib(lays down less ink). A TWSBI Eco with a bottle of Noodler's Bernanke would do.

Interesting that 'modern' gadgets with few moving parts and for the most part no maintenance. And how long they'll last sitting tucked away in drawers if nothing fouls. Though maybe one day it'll be hard to actually find

You see this in factories as well. Not pure 'automation' but rather 1 person overseeing several lightly automated processes. So while 25 years ago you had 4 Operators doing 4 tasks together, you now have 1 Operator doing the 4 tas

My "argument" was in response to the parent comment saying 3D Manufacturing can 'scale'. Which it certainly can, just not as simply or efficiently as traditional methods. Especially in this case with such a simple part.

Sure. But for an equal amount of effort, raws and manpower you could get much more out of traditional manufacturing, much quicker. The product is a very simple stamp, with very simple dies with little wasted material. Perfect for traditiona

So shutting down the schools to stop the spread, so children don't spread it to their older family members will hurt youth the worst? A lot of issues with shutting down schools is in regards to childcare and food(meal programs) in the
