I just watched a Geology Hub upload on the Cerberean Caldera super eruption in what is now Australia. It happened over 300 million years ago, but in terms of the total age of the planet, even 300 million years is a relatively tiny blip. So have there been any significant epics to truly say events like x, y, or z will never happen again – in any statistically significant way? Will there be another Deccan or Siberian Traps or Columbia River Flood Basalts – one geologic timescale day in the future and countless more in the eons to follow?

I have heard the term news aggregator too. What do these definitions mean to you? How would you define the category?

This has been through many days of iterations and designs. Most involved over center mechanisms or wheel levers before this design dawned on me. The bottom right is how it prints. The "spring" is a double forked 10mm bridge in the last few millimeters inside the enclosed print. The visible "clamp" is connected to the spring by forking into two paths that branch beside the tube that the spade terminal is inserted through. The clamping force is not great but it is sufficient for a reliable basic electrical connection for bench testing. The pictured driver is a very small tweeter and is barely held in place with both wires inserted between the print and spade terminal.

I wanted something that would fit on the faceplate of the little hacked audio amp enclosure I have been designing. I think 6 of these will barely fit across the front and under the actual circuit board assembly.

This one might be worth the hassle of setting up an account and sharing on printables if it does not require the goggle server connection like it did in the past when I tried.

The thing is, I dial in my prints to 0.3mm clearances and this absolutely requires that clearance. I do not care to print other people's designs because most are really terrible for things like supports, designing for 3d printing, clearances, and general slop. I'll occasionally toss someone else's STEP or STL in FreeCAD and rebuild the thing but I usually just use some conceptual idea of anything I see elsewhere. I think with this one, I could share it as a negative Boolean STEP file to be most useful. Then it would only require others to import and do a boolean cut operation to use the design. Maybe I will do so if it works out well in my enclosure with 6 of these all resolving well and functional. What do you think, would you ever care to find and print something like this in one of your designs? Do you think anyone would even understand the value of printing such fundamental componentry instead of buying hardware and gluing it together with a 3d printed design? Like, this could easily be configured to use a loop of solid core copper wire as the connector terminal for a low voltage bench power supply that requires no other hardware.

Also, I had a rather irritating encounter with Dessalines (the Lemmy Dev) on ML a few days ago. I want to move off of Lemmy but I kinda like the rest of you, so maybe piefed is an option. I haven't looked into it deeply as I thought rust was worth supporting more, however empowering these guys as authoritarians is not on my list. I'm in a position to move this community if people want but like I always say, I'm just the janitor here. I do not matter. I would just as soon give this place to someone else if that is best for the community. I only want what is best for all, which is probably stability first and foremost, but if you feel otherwise, maybe mention it, maybe we'll make it happen.

Intending to reach anyone here with some product or industrial design chops but anyone with an input is welcome. I spent the day looking at all of the components I want to fit into an audio amplifier. It is somewhere around the size of a typical router. My ideas thus far are ehh at best. I just abstracted the realization that this is an issue common to most electronics products, so who does it best or what ideas do you like most for shapes and design?

0.25mm nozzle, clear PETG, Prusa, 6mm standard headphone jack, upcycled broken bluetooth headphones, three times larger battery, snap fit with no hardware, FreeCAD, 2nd print iteration, listening to it now, no tricks - it holds together firmly and is usable and actually sounds better than the original by a long shot from better headphone drivers I guess or proper soldering, oh and power button built into the flex of the design, OC only posted on Lemmy

Stupidity Epidemic? Are critical thinking, intelligence and civility on the decline?

Dude is not getting the views his content deserves for the quality and questions he asks and researches.

The info wore off the grip and I do not recall what it was. I think it was a German brand. These have been one of my favorite tools for a decade. The jaws are much more narrow than what is typical for side cutters and these handle like a surgeon's scalpel. Best of all, they can be sharpened many many times. Unfortunately, these are getting close to end of life from all of my sharpening and pivot pin wear. I want to get another set, but I have never been able to figure out the brand to find them again. They were given to me by a tech for a computerized Guru bicycle fit machine we had installed in one of our bike shops in 2012.

CAD modeling and hacking some old junk audio stuff with help

Bonus internet points for cheapskates

Just looking for basic glassware, bunsen, distillation, and stir plate for working with simple stuff related to circuit board etching, tinning, through hole plating, and some reverse engineering stuff like dissolving epoxy chip packaging for die shots. I'd like to be able to shape some glass. Above all, I'm looking for cheap stuff that is barely adequate in the few hundred dollars class total. Like I have no issues hacking a thrift store hotplate with a rare earth magnet on a small motor. Are there any cheap options to stay safe and functional?
