[06:05:47] fifel/rizon hot is above 38ºC while humid

[06:07:10] fifel/rizon they’re linear but intersect, no?

[06:07:22] fifel/rizon Mikoolo: So hot that you can’t sweat due to the humid sucks

[06:07:37] fifel/rizon How can you fuck up linearity like that?

[06:07:51] fifel/rizon WV is brutal

[06:10:08] fifel/rizon US Imperial is specified with reference3 to metric measures

[06:10:14] fifel/rizon You’re just using stupid metric

[06:10:58] fifel/rizon I can use a metric tool on a metric bolt and round off the bolt or strip the thread via torque

[06:11:27] fifel/rizon Mikoolo: You want to explain torque?

[06:12:38] fifel/rizon So standard lengths of arms on metric wrenches are designed for standard torques on standard bolts. If you put a “thing longerer” or steel pipe over the wrench, you can make a super long wrench and fuck anything up

[06:13:16] fifel/rizon With “special bolts” and shit, either they supply a special wrench designed so that a human can’t apply too much force, or they tell you to use a torque wrench with a cut-off

[06:13:32] fifel/rizon Mikoolo: I’ve stripped plenty of shit, because bicycles are often made out of alu

[06:13:56] fifel/rizon that’s *undoing* the bolt. Now watch 1st year apprentice fuckstick use one to put a bolt in.

[06:14:14] fifel/rizon it is never the fault of the tools

[06:14:19] fifel/rizon nothing is an accident

[06:14:21] fifel/rizon thanks zen.

[06:14:43] fifel/rizon >or buy a torque wrench

[06:14:56] fifel/rizon Or sit down and calculate where to hold the steel tube to achieve correct torque.

[06:15:18] fifel/rizon I see a lot of those on bicycles.

[06:15:30] fifel/rizon locktite isn’t the answer to everything.

[06:15:34] fifel/rizon nor is nylock

[06:15:39] fifel/rizon spring washers

[06:19:07] fifel/rizon I’ve watched loads of things fall off bicycles due to a failure to correctly apply locking tensions to counter vibration actions.

[06:19:21] fifel/rizon and locktite generally isn’t the answer and nylock is worse.

[06:19:35] fifel/rizon head spring flat surface flat spring nut nut is generally the answer.

[06:20:01] fifel/rizon With the inner nut and outer nut tightened, then the inner nut forced back against the outer.

[06:20:17] fifel/rizon Neo_Nemesis: I am so glad I only own two wheeled things, and only ride two and three wheeled things for my employer.

[06:21:08] fifel/rizon I want to ride fat bottom girls who are coming my way

[06:22:01] fifel/rizon enjoy

[06:22:49] fifel/rizon depends on how many tonnes you need to haul.

[06:23:12] fifel/rizon for instance I can only haul 1/3rd of a day’s delivery, so a van supplies top ups in lock boxes.

[06:23:17] fifel/rizon hauling humans yeah

[06:24:14] fifel/rizon yeah, I liked the look of some of the four wheel semi-electrics being used by major logistics company in urban southern sweden.

[06:24:25] fifel/rizon but it only tops out at a full day’s load on a good day

[06:24:57] fifel/rizon I’m not in Sweden, I’m in Australia, these were quadricycles with electric assist / drive for final mile

[06:25:05] fifel/rizon But the quadricycles were in Sweden.

[06:25:16] fifel/rizon 30 cm esque wheels.

[06:25:22] fifel/rizon What a Honda CT-125?

[06:25:42] fifel/rizon Sadly the ute is being outcompeted by penis enhancements.

[06:26:25] fifel/rizon What about the Subaru micro ute?

[06:27:06] fifel/rizon I’m trained to ride a 3 wheel roll-over framed final mile delivery vehicle. I prefer it to the delivery bicycle supplied or the delivery motorcycle/scooter due to the 3 wheeler hauling a day’s load.

[06:27:15] fifel/rizon Neo_Nemesis: Just say “catering to lesbians”

[06:27:19] fifel/rizon Subaru does.

[06:29:01] fifel/rizon Yeah, look, I had to buy a motorcycle to learn to ride a licenced engined vehicle for work. I bought a boring honda that matched other needs.

[06:29:19] fifel/rizon Because I’m a 45 year old boring

[06:29:30] fifel/rizon car culture here uses psi for cultural reasons, but scientists use Kpa

[06:29:55] fifel/rizon Maintainability and reliability and low service requirements was the aim.

[06:30:30] fifel/rizon The safety, road suitable braking / power relationship, and flat power curve were bonuses.

[06:31:03] fifel/rizon and then selling thousands of units to mom and pop

[06:31:40] fifel/rizon Honda Civics are awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQauncy81DI

[06:33:14] fifel/rizon Ziginox: I’m sure a movie buff could find a slower one.

[08:46:17] fifel/rizon Neo_Nemesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk4xV4CY42o

[08:48:04] fifel/rizon They don’t like the horizontal tilt angles no sir mister mainwairing.

[08:53:35] fifel/rizon Neo_Nemesis: I imagine someone would load mail in the front and parcels in the rear.

[08:54:13] fifel/rizon Gentoo: You never hear about a company insourcing and making what they need themselves.

[09:02:56] fifel/rizon There are some Burqa Shahs in Sydney

[09:03:19] fifel/rizon no its a hamburger sales place

[10:22:34] fifel/rizon Neo_Nemesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xx0NTuehlw

[10:23:35] fifel/rizon I eat lunch around 8-9am. After a 4.30 start

[18:05:23] fifel/rizon irish666: Nope

[18:09:36] fifel/rizon irish666: https://i.4cdn.org/lit/1697208680909341.jpg

[18:11:52] fifel/rizon That poor pit bull was just trying to play he never bit anybody
