Back in the days of manual machining it was definitely true. CNC, especially modern 5+ axis high speed high rigidity machines are god level cheating.
A lot of the armor plate on the big battleships like New Jersey were welded. Some of those are over a foot thick. It would take a LOT of passes.
Did we mention that the manual was burned, and the guy and the guy who wrote the manual died in the explosion that burned the manual? It was at the end of a massively destructive war of annihilation.
Better hope they done have one set of 50mm bolts which are mild steel, and another set that are hardened high tensive steel that aren't clearly marked and the same length! Or you're going to have quite an adventure when…
Anyone who has worked in a job classified 'unskilled' generally doesn't need a pejorative to feel unloved. It's the nature of the game. Digging ditches generally sucks, same as I imagine being a striker, but most anyone…
HDPE is also what Nalgenes and the like are made of (or used to be anyway), and is very popular for storing chemicals as well. It is very nearly completely inert.
The problem with that attitude is when the body count gets high enough, there is incredible pressure to 'do something' - because enough people are terrible at judging this (or don't have the right friend group, or…
You aren't hungover if you never stop drinking - which is the point. It's really, really prevalent in some industries. I've hired concrete finishers before (multiple times), and I've never NOT had a bunch of empty cans…
Jesse here. I'm the eng manager for GKE and GKE On-Prem Storage lifecycle over at Google. For basic persistent volumes, we have working vSphere (block) support, which allows us to do a lot (including persistent/stateful…
