  • Carbide is acceptable and will get the job done, but youre going to burn up a lot of inserts getting it dialed in.

    Ceramic, on the other hand, is purpose designed for cutting hardened materials.

    I was tearing my hair out trying to turn a hardened 4140 piece in my lathe even running carbide. Then I picked up some ceramic inserts and it was like night and day. Immediate and dramatic improvement in surface finish and tool life.

    We have a face mill that takes the same style carbide (although smaller size) that my lathe tool does and I’m very interested to see how that runs with ceramic.


  • Holy shit I almost took you seriosly. Then I read the part about how “them” created AIDS lmfaoooo

    And I thought I was a good shitposter. Whew. I am thoroughly outclassed.

    People villify nuclear weapons to ludicrous proportions, and that was kind of my whole point. Would you, as a thinking and feeling person, if given the choice, choose to be instantly annihilated by a nuclear bomb or live to be poisoned over decades? I’d choose to meet the sun, personally, but I’m always astounded how many people think the poison is somehow the lesser of these evils.






  • I waited a LONG time to pick up Gran Turismo 7, and boy do I feel like that was a waste. I had fond memories of playing a previous GT title on ps3 with my dad before he passed away, but GT7 is just awful. I HATE how the chat bubble heads “explain” the gameplay. I HATE pretty much every menu outside of the standard gameplay pause menu. I HATE new car showroom/marketplace/museum whatever the fuck it is.

    Idk if I missed more than a few entries in the series but this shit is the most infantile, disrespectful talk down I’ve ever recieved from a video game.










  • Safe spaces are EXACTLY what people in the far right want. Not for anything they dont like, like Trans acceptance or long term ecological rehabilitation.

    But absolutely 100% “hey I’m tired of seeing the hellscape of my own creation so if we could limit any troublesome ‘politics’ or ‘social agenda’ discussion that would be great.”

    So no, creating a ‘safe space’ is exactly the same thing as ignoring the problem. Out of sight, out of mind, right?
