In some cases wholly innocent customers went to jail. "for some customers, resulted in arrests, felony charges and jail time." https://www.npr.org/2022/12/06/1140998674/hertz-false-accusation-stealing-cars-settlement

I tried tinkercad for a tiny project and gave up on it. No built in fillets. All it was was a 3D printed two prism plug, but I wanted rounded edges. Used Onshape which does brilliant internal and external fillets. It's a 3D modelling program. Free if you let your drawings be public. Expensive...

Sure. I think everything else does too. That's why these Temperature guns work, everything glows the same way.

"acceleration from zero to 60 mph in as little as 3.5 seconds" Luckily it's got wheelie bars.

"EHD (electrohydrodynamic) actuators are electro-fluidic actuators whose motion results from charges being induced and accelerated in a liquid." All kinds of expertise on this forum, I look forward to the replies. I couldn't use the link as my blocker didn't like it.

Thanks, ghastly "viewer" can be bypassed by clicking on "Download pdf" on that page. It opened directly in my browser with no apparent file download/save.

Hmmm. "the affidavit of non-service was devoid of any information to support that Gryder could probably be found where the process server had attempted to serve him. The affidavit of non-service here indicates the opposite of what Rule 106(b)requires. " Doesn't seem like mere...

Noted, thanks. I am allergic to software these days (security, security), but if I need something like it I might give it a go. Snip and Sketch only has freehand drawing which can sometimes be insufficient. I notice that Lightshot is based in Russia :-(

Now that is pretty slick. Two minutes to make and post an effective instructional video:) I use Windows and a browser and most often use "copy and paste" to paste in an image. Most images I post are screenshots and don't exist as a file. Such as the one in this post. Image captured with Windows...

Thank you so much for sharing something of your adventure here. A tremendous achievement.

"a cam struck the case" Is this a thing? I have never worked on any aero engine, I have rebuilt many auto engines. I can't imagine "a cam struck the case" as being a thing. How is the camshaft end-float controlled in these engines?

Rutan Boomerang may have some ideas you like. https://aerocrafted.com/blogs/edc-tools/the-rutan-boomerang

While waiting for @dbahn's device to come on-stream it might be worth noting that wobbly, square based, 4 legged tables can always be stabilized by turning them round about a vertical axis through the centre of the square base. Turn the table while testing the wobble here and there. I don't know...

Just be careful to match up the fiber type and respect distance limitations. Each connection does create a loss so if power is marginal you could bump into that. Less expected might be distance limitations due to data rate. With multi-mode (usually in-premises) distance can be less at higher...

Yes. https://pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/voepass-flight-2283-a-large-passenger-plane-crashes-in-vinhedo-brazil.148290/post-3546452

You need to match up the type of fiber. I have been out of this for a while but hopefully not much has changed. The fiber coming in to your house is likely single mode 8/125. Within premises multimode is often used 50/125 or 62.5/125 but I think this is unlikely for a telco. They seem to now...

May be from a different incident today. South Sudan, no one died. Possibly ran long on take-off and left the wheels behind. "Renegade Air/UN Dash 8-300 crashes on landing at Malakal Airport in South Sudan after the main gear came off on departure from Maban. All 35 passengers and 3 crew members...

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutcone.shtml "Based on forecasts over the previous 5 years, the entire track of the tropical cyclone can be expected to remain within the cone roughly 60-70% of the time." Probably too many people were assuming that the forecast track was more reliable that it really...

Thanks, I had never used the hotkey to access this. It's a Windows facility, certainly in Win 10. It seems to be WindowsKey-Shift-S. This starts the Snip & Sketch application but without the sketch bit available. There is no need to hold anything down after it has launched. After starting with...

Where did they get the square engine? I suppose you could do a square Napier Deltic but I have never heard of such a thing.
