  • What’s the deviation tolerances of the actual hole sizes? I’m American so I’ve only machined using inches or converting metric to inches. So are we talking +/-.005 or +/-.0005? Decided to make gages for hydraulic tube sizes for real time quality assurance from our picking and packing department to use. Ended up going with counter sinking pins for carpentry but never found a female gauge option for the male tube connections. Wasn’t important enough to spend any more time or money on. That’s also why I said fuck the machining gage pins, they’re expensive as fuck. What you made tho is exactly what i was looking for.







  • Cheers to a casual as fuck conversation 🍻

    Edit: fuck itd be so cool if there was a way to only allow voting to reference how casual you thought a comment thread was and keeping a ranking of the chillest of the chillest casual conversations lol if not voting then maybe a button similar to reddit’s gold used to be where you awarded the casual-est conversations and have the ranking based on the amount of casuawards you were given🤔


  • Theyre government ran programs. People expect them to operate with the efficiency of any normal business. The problem is businesses operating to the rules of a “free” market are driven by entirely different rules than the ones driving a government ran program.

    In the government, program funding is dictated by the people in office and their political alignments. First looking at a scenario where the people in office are in support of a program the following outcomes usually happen: 1. Program is successful resulting in stagnant budget growth when times are good and budget cuts when times are bad. 2. Program is unsuccessful resulting in the people in office responsible for the program being unable to call the failing program a failure so they advocate for increasing the budget. Every raise and tier of compensation to the employees is decided in DC and eliminates all shreds of performance or tenure based raises. Employees working for government programs have absolutely no reason to want to excel at their job.

    The concept is completely futile. Inprovments only come when enough people get so sick and tired of a program’s incompetencies that people protest or the media catches wind to make it a talking point important enough to affect elections.

    It’s the foundation to Marge Simpson’s sisters on the Simpson’s and how they are shown working at the DMV. Incase you needed supporting citation for my opinion.

    I’m also not commenting as any advocate for either political side nor am I implying “there’s no difference between the right and left.” I’m simply saying the foundation that government programs must adhere to will never produce an efficient operating environment for any program to succeed under.







  • To add to that, we also the only generation who lived thru the only housing bubble giving a hesitation to the concept that realestate has always been the safest investment. They’re buying high but are able to control most of not all extrinsic variables that could keep them from selling higher than they purchased. There aren’t many ways to invest money that you 100% either control the out come of or can insure what you cant control. The exceptions like community wide property value loss are still specific to the properties location that you decide before purchase. I know there are cases where your research before buying can fuck you but it’s still more control than investing in the market where everything about the value of your asset is out of your hands. All you can control is how it’s value is managed.





  • I mean, noone used reddit 10 years ago. To a 37 year old like myself, that seems like the reddit shit blew up out of nowhere. Youtube is just a matter of time and outcome of future google break up cases before a legitimate competition comes for its industry share. FB will die with the boomers. The only one I see as a really unmovable object is Twitter because of the universal use by all major sports media/reporting/journalists. It’s the only one with end users applying the platform in any comercial sense outside of marketing. I think the question OP is asking will on the reliance of one of the other platforms falling.

    Just my opinion tho so take it with a grain of salt.
