It's that perfect spot I call the Groan Zone

Be the change... Hacking is less brute force and more phishing. Not that hard and ICE is full of brain dead morons.

I work in consumer goods. Not all do it in house but many will. Even if they outsource it the supplier will still make them on demand. It's just too many parts to keep organized, much easier to get what you need made and deliver it with the other parts during assembly. My company manufacturers around 1mil products a year, individual parts adds up to 10s of millions. We are just a small-mid size producer too

Your confusing an external rib for the internal wall. I can see at least a .5mm gap

It wouldn't much, the spring wouldn't be the exact diameter of the chamber. I could see a Japanese or German pen company over-engineering the spring this way because the cad stress analyzer shows a weakness there

Kanye West doesn't care about black people.

Why not call it Racist Hillbilly month instead?

My guess too. A longer spring would have more deflection in the middle. This design could reduce that and increase the spring force.

You would think that but almost nothing is sourced that way. Easier and cheaper just to have them made to your engineering specs. For my business we make all the hardware in house so we get better part quality than to use off the shelf screws/bolts.

I can't believe this is the 17th one this month!

If only Logan's Run rules were established, this never would have happened.

 

And it's amazing!

 

Last year I planted 6 so I knew what I was doing this year. My soil is quite clay so I first removed 3 yards of soil, tons of roots and other buried things. I had my garden soil already and mixed in some loam and soil acidifier.

First I started with 6 inches of leaves on the bottom of the trench. Then I piled the soil mix in the spot the bushes would be buried and stuck the plant on top. Filled in the area around the pile with organic mulch, this keeps the plant from getting water logged and retains moisture during dry periods. 8 different types of blueberries are planted now. Along with cherries, raspberries, strawberries and soon an apple tree and some elderberry bushes. All for my son and the local wildlife to enjoy. Took me about 4 hours to do.

 

I just got spun, it's great.

 

I have an enterprise account and they added this button today. Guess what used to be there? The profile image where you could so conveniently swipe up or down to switch between gmail accounts. This is the kind of UI garbage that makes you want to move your entire company to another service just because you can.

 

Save 100s of dollars and hours picking them out one by one from lucky charms boxes and just buy it in bulk dumny.

 
 

Merry Christmas you filthy animals!

 
 
 
 

My 19yr old immortal kitty Orion was just found, nearly a week after he wandered off. He's old and his vision/hearing isn't the best. While I kept looking and giving all the neighbors flyers I was prepared for the worst. Nothing has ever loved me so unconditionally and I am so grateful for his return.
