BitBasher posted:While true, if you are going to give that as the reason then don't half rear end it. go buy a Lahti That's a destructive device according to the ATF, the .50's just a rifle. Platystemon posted:Going to a caliber over .50 (and not in a shotgun or muzzle loader) puts you in Destructive Device territory. The "shotgun" bit doesn't matter. A 12-gauge shotgun is a destructive device if the Secretary of the Treasury says so, which is why the Street Sweeper and similar 12-gauge shotguns are DDs. Muzzleloaders are okay though because they're not considered firearms and don't fall under the NFA. Phanatic fucked around with this message at 18:16 on May 11, 2021 |

Blue Footed Booby posted:And those are just T-34s. Modern tanks can be about twice the weight. But larger tread area so the difference in ground pressure isn't that pronounced. A 70-ton M1A2 is about 15psi, roughly the same as a 28.5-ton Tiger.

In Brazil there are a lot of cars that run on natural gas. Some people then modify these cars to also run on propane, which is taxed at a lower rate because people use it to cook with. Propane also runs at lower pressures than NG, so if you illegally modify your car with a propane tank you need to be sure to have a cutoff so that when you pull into the gas station to get your NG tank filled, it does not backflow into the propane side of the system and make your car blow the gently caress up. And you need to remember to use it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ6ItsHpTZc

What the hell is a test car doing with five people on board including a kid? It's not like testing an airliner where you've got seats for the test engineers looking at data in real time.

LifeSunDeath posted:I punched the steering wheel in my 96 sentra one time and the horn got stuck on. It was pretty funny. I was sitting behind a dude at a red light in my 10-year-old '82 Reliant and the light turned green and the guy didn't go anywhere so I blipped the horn at him, as one does. The horn stuck on. When the guy started to move and the horn stayed on he just looked at me in his rearview so I took both my hands off the wheel and waved at him to show him "It's not me, dude." Then I pulled into Blockbuster, popped the hood and disconnected the horn.

This is a dumb question on my part but I never studied fluids. If I've got a pipe containing fluid at 1000 psi, and I put a small hole in that pipe, like .001 square inches, what's the force of the fluid coming out? Naively I'd expect 1 pound, but that doesn't explain the horrificness of hydraulic injection injuries.

Jonny Nox posted:Today I learned that laser anemometers were a thing. When you’re doing airspeed calibrations you need another calibrated source of airspeed data to compare the aircraft’s pitot/static system against. Historically this has been done with an instrumented boom that sticks out into non-turbulent air. Since the stuff I work on is rotary-wing what we use is called a YAPS head, and it also has vanes that turn potentiometers to measure yaw and pitch as well, so we get pitot, static, alpha, and beta. But now we just do all that with a LIDAR system mounted in the cabin with an array of lasers mounted outside. Supposedly it can give us 1/rev as well but we haven’t tried yet.

They do. I'm in flight testing and we use these routinely for connecting shields to ground: https://www.te.com/usa-en/products/wire-protection-and-management/interconnect-devices/soldersleeve-shield-terminators.html?tab=pgp-story I mean, they're not going to work if you just stick a heat gun on them but when you install them properly they're solid. That said, that's the only thing we use them for and if we're making connections we're crimping pins onto wires with the correct tools and using D38999s or Lemos.

Godholio posted:My "best" spin was a 270 to the left, starting at 55 mph on the interstate in less than ideal conditions on tires that should've gotten me a ticket. Well, three of those. One brand new one, which was punctured through the sidewall by a tree root as I skidded to a stop 20 feet off the road, less than 3 feet from having my door slam into a tree trunk. Making a left turn at a T intersection in the winter, turning from the crossbar onto the vertical of the T in my '88 Supra. Back end came loose and whipped around, literally nobody else on the road at the time because snowstorm. Wound up parked facing the red light of the vertical, in the correct lane, just in time for the light to turn green at which point I made a U-turn and proceeded the way I was trying to go in the first place. Probably looked completely intentional. It wasn't.

Saukkis posted:Simple, require inspection to be done at a licensed place and only allow licenses for places that don't do repairs. Are you saying you think I should have to make an appointment and take my car for inspection, and then make a second appointment and take it to an entirely different facility to get what it needs done to it? And then make a third appointment to take it back to the first place so they can verify that what needed to be done was in fact done?

Oh, yeah. Never before a month ago had I gotten into my car to go fuel up my lawnmower gas can, started it, put it in gear, removed the parking brake, and then realized I forgot to grab the gas can and then in my rush to hit the kill switch and get out of the car took my foot off the clutch too early lurching the car forward directly into my garage wall doing ~$8k in damage to the car+garage.

The fun part is that unlike most people who have their hips replaced by titanium, he’ll probably live long enough to need them replaced a second time.
