So whats your theory on this? Or how bout this question... What do you think would be left of our civilization in 10K years if some catastrophic event happened that destroyed our civ?

The thing you have to understand is that everything in our lives, tech and machine and knowlege wise is all compartmentalized. So lets say that tthere was a mass extinction event, say the Yellowstone volcano went off. OR asteroid hits us...etc...And 50%+ of he worlds people died off, which is...

So whats the BS meter then?

Late Development . Wheeled vehicles appear relatively late in Egypt—surprisingly enough, there is no evidence that any sort of wheeled transport was available to the builders of the great Dynasty 4 pyramids at Giza, for example. Instead, wheels are pictured for the first time in the late Old...

They did find the tools of the Egyptians. Bronze era tools like drills and saws, etc. Modern archeologists say that these statues, the obelisks weighing 100+ tons and the pyramids themselves with some of the stones that were mined 500miles away were all made with bronze tools and sand. :D...

Most of the shit all around us would be gone in a flash.Books? Would be all gone. Shit our society is pretty much all digital now stored on plastic and metal discs which would all rust away. Maybe some silicon chips would survive? We dont build any stone monuments anymore. Maybe some statues...

Fucking flat earthers. Hurrr

That was a hydrogen bomb, nukes are 100x more devastating. Also the camera thing is stupid for one it could be a camera mounted on a fucking telescope for all you know. You cannot tell where the fuck the camera is and its dumb to assume the thing is just there on a fucking tripod. Durr...

So I fucked up....Flat sanded the clear to 800 grit and unfortunately like 3 spots I sanded through to the primer. So I sprayed 2 more light coats of color in just those areas, let this cure for a few days then sprayed more clear on top. But the new paint over the clear just winked up like an...

Chuck its not 4 places its 3 to get to thousandth of inch. 4 places is referred to "tenth of a thousandth"

I agree, who the hell knows? But modern Archeology tells us that this is BS and these things were made by bronze age people less than 5K years ago. they are handwaving this shit away and still claiming no civ before this ever existed and all these things were made by bronze tools and sand...

And still 2000 yrs is nothing compared to how long we have been here. Look, whose to say that my theory is right? who the fuck knows? But I do know for a fact being an engineer that you can not make shit precise like that with sandpaper on a lathe, lol. 1/16th of an inch? 1/32nd if youre a...

LOl you guys still dont understand what .001" tolerance really means. Or .002" perfect thickness of a stone vase. Go try and spin a piece of granite on your lathe and get back to us when you can achieve those perfect tolerances. How hard is it to believe there was some advanced people before...

I have no fucking idea, but they got made somehow. Im betting on a lost ancient civilization that was prob as advanced as us but in a different way, erased from this earth by a cataclysmic event. Thats my bet. I mean how else do you explain that? Aliens? there is just no fucking way bronze age...

You dont get it, go watch the video. You can hone your craft for 3 lifetimes and you will not come up with a perfect vase with .001" run out and .001" perfect perpendicularity. Sorry not possible.

I honestly dont even know if they could do it these days at those tolerances, and if they could it would cost a fucking fortune to do so, even with computers and the finest lathes available. But even so you have to imagine that these things were supposedly made by bronze age civilization...

Like I mentioned in the general gaming thread my industry goes through this shit every 3-5 yrs. Last time was 5% because our office is small now, but the time before was like 10%, huge ass purge. People were being escorted to the door by security and HR and their shit mailed to them in a box...

Ill still play it, shit ive been playing this game for 2000 hours and that does not even include the hundreds of hours on PS4 when D2 came out and years of D1 so you bet your ass I will be seeing it through the end. I still cannot see WTF management was thinking in sinking this companys future...

Smaller work force but most of us work in offices and see wtf is going on, every place I worked is pretty much 80% of the work being done by 20% of the people. And the bigger the office is the more apparent this is, more places for the weak to hide. You would not believe what I have witnessed in...

Yeah I saw some dudes talk about this on some podcast. They did some fancy light or laser scan or whatever and it came out to be nearly perfect like down to the thousandth of an inch. And mind you these pots are not cast, or molded from clay, they are fucking carved out of hard ass granite. Not...

D2 for me had its ups and downs for sure. I was def not into the fixed rolls at launch, plus shaking up the load outs with 2 primary and all secondary being heavy. Crucible also sucked because of this plus it was only 4v4 at start. It took them a long time to change this back to where it was in...

No, I just edited my above post to mention that fact. Entire DLCs, their respective planets and the literal OPENING STORY campaign if D2 just removed.

And yet they are still stubborn as hell and shrug off the communities pleas to change the game to be better. Instead they do the same shit over and over again and expect a different result. And add more crap to the store to be monetized. Cant sell shit at the store if you have no one playing the...

Yeah even in engineering, the product development stuff, they are outsourcing more and more to India these days too. White collar is not even safe anymore. They basically have one guy that "communicates" with the india team, basically a go between.

Its funny to see all these outrage youtube vods in the destiny community come out as if this 8% labor purge is some end of days BS, like how could they!!??!!. Shit, in the automotive business this is like a once every 3-5 yr thing that happens, and yes, mostly right around the holidays.Im sure...

Trusted sources say that this had nothing to do with Sony. Now of course no one, only flies on the wall will ever know. But lets be real here folks. They have been trying to monetize the shit out of this game in the past year. At first it was only the store, then they raised prices on seasons...

I dont think their bread and butter is doing well recently. Or maybe its sony going in and cleaning house.

I thought Sony was there to float cash to Bungie? WTF? Layoffs? They must have lost a ton of cash. OR Sony is going in there and doing some clean up work, lol. This is good for all of us consumers though. Bungie def need to eat a slice of humble pie. They have been consistently shitting on their...

Honestly for such a small kitchen with so few cabinets, why not build them yourself? All it takes is a few tools and a pocket hole jig and you will save thousands. YOU can get 2 cabinets or thereabouts out of 1 sheet of 3/4 ply thats $90. You can buy doors and drawers online, so you dont even...

Well when you run out of browns and others to get into wars with, whats next? Aliens! Im betting that in the next 10-20 yrs we will be in a war with "aliens". The military industrial complex needs to live on. They are already setting us all up...

Heroes was ok for first few seasons but after it got weak.

You make a yeast starter. All you need is a swab. Put that shit into some sugar water and it will multiply. Do it again and again and now you have lbs of the shit. https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/how-to-brew/make-yeast-starter/ That shit is fucking gross though.

This shit got me down a rabbit hole in the past few weeks of watching him and others in his circle in a wide array of podcasts talk about this shit. I find this very interesting. I also like the physics people talk about theo physics, I find this highly interesting but its hard to follow and...

This is the younger one, 18. And hes just doing installs and service.

Typically for legs like that I would set up a angle jig on the table saw to produce those, even for production later. And yeah you do need aprons to add strength and keep the legs rigid. I would say the most important tools to start woodworking with would be a good table saw first. On that...

IF you have a CNC you can get into sign business. Making signs for people out of plastic sheets. People and businesses always need signs. Or building jigs for people that dont want to make them just buy them. Also why would you need a drill press if you have a CnC which is like a drill press on...

I also think it goes much deeper than some societal programming why we like shit we like. Why women are drawn to big men which can protect them.

This goes back to the whole nature vs nurture debate. I think some of both play a huge role in shaping all of us. But do you honestly think that girls in US are treated differently than in any other western country? Sure there is counties that treat their women different, namely the Islamic...

I saw this thing at Costco just yesterday. They also have a smaller one too, like regular grill size. Prob can get like 6-8 burgers on there, maybe 10? Anyway yeah it was cool looking and I think smaller one was like $160 or some shit? Me and the kid were eyeing it but didnt get it. One thing I...
