DO NOT MIX BLEACH AND CHLORINE, unless you want die or seriously injure yourself. When bleach is combined with acetic acid it produces chlorine gas, a literal chemical weapon/warcrime. If you want to corrode stainless steel use regular bleach, it does the job just fine.

It's not right to say that all of his supporters are racists, many of them are for sure. But he also has the demographic of the stupid locked in.

@DemBoSain@midwest.social it masses the same as 555.9 grams of bananas.

Please note this is only a prototype banana. Production models will sport a trendy yellow anodized finish.

I did not consult that site, the ASME Scaling Banana™ measures 214mm. It was made from a composite 3d scan of 4 different bananas bought from 3 different retailers. Your banana may vary.

The Scaling banana contains no Potassium-40, but it does probably have some Aluminum-26 in it. Further testing will be needed to ascertain the actual B.E.D.

I put the pic in the comment, it loaded on my side so idk whats up. But basically, I did it in 2 sides. The back side had its roughing and finishing pass done while clamping the billet. The front got its roughing pass again clamping billet. It was supposed to leave .020" thick tabs to keep it in the billet for the finishing pass but they ended up breaking off. So I used the cad drawing to cut an exact pocket of the banana in a piece of wood. The banana fit pretty snuggly into the pocket so I just used some silicone sealant I had on hand to keep it from lifting out during finishing.

I have not seen one of those before, it would make a good companion tool.

Just a 3 axis and a custom fixture.

 

I propose a new ASME standard, the Scaling Banana™.

@KingJalopy@lemm.ee thanks, I try my best.

@empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com that's the plan. I gotta pay for that M.E. degree somehow.

@KingJalopy@lemm.ee I'm not an actual machinist, just self taught. Also my machine isn't particularly nice/precise. It's an 90s bridgeport with a 3 axis cnc kit. So I try and use whatever tricks I can to make it all work out.

 

For your consideration, I submit my design for a new ASME standard. The Scaling Banana.

 

The architects of projects like Próspera are drafting legislation to create US cities that would be free from federal regulations.

 

President Donald Trump is set to sign three executive orders on Monday involving the U.S. military, including banning transgender service members, eliminating military DEI programs, and reinstating service members discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

Hey all, I hope I'm posting to the right place. My gf and I are both trans women considering immigrating to New Zealand from the US. We both have green list careers so we're not too worried about eligibility but we are wondering if we would be welcome/fit in in NZ.

Everything I've seen or heard in media makes NZ look about 1000 times better than the US. Every country has their problems but from my limited viewpoint NZ looks pretty great. We'd appreciate any advice or perspective you'd care to share. Thanks in advance.
