Every time I see people talk about 2hu gacha I remember I played LostWord and Spell Bubble at the same time and the circumstances of both games Yukari fights were a cute contrast.
Lost Word Yukari: "The other worlds are going to be more dangerous than this one was so I will put you through one last test."
Spell Bubble Reimu: [talking to the others about Yukari] "Oh, I recognize THAT tone of voice. Don't let her give you trouble. She is just sour that we solved the incident and she did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help."

I think about how 80% of people have just...erased the pandemic, and the obvious, proven consequences of catching COVID over and over again, from their minds - and it reminds me of how many have absorbed and discarded the facts of Israel's genocide and concentration camps in the same way.
The West has relied on a kind of psychic and ideological opium for so long to keep consuming and ravening the world that it can't cope with reality now that we can't bully or bribe our way out of this mess.

github.com/kachurovskiy/modula…
Lathes typically have a shitload of cast iron, not because they need to be that strong, but because they can't tolerate even a thousandth of an inch of flex. But concrete is very good at resisting flex and you can cast it in your garage.
A big challenge is the center line of the spindle needs to be aligned with the ways, very well. But I think it should be possible to lay them on epoxy and then align them before it hardens...

in reply to Caleb James DeLisle • • •I'm starting to think concrete is a completely under-appreciated material.
I was thinking about building a vacuum/pressure chamber for drying and pressure-treating wood. I thought I'd need to get a large high strength steel tank, but in reality I could probably just pour it from concrete and only use metal hinges and gaskets at the door...

in reply to Wolf480pl • • •Hmm, I think that for vacuum operation, you need to make sure you vibrate out any possible air bubbles, very well, because bubbles might compromise the concrete when subjected to vacuum.
Also a long curing time is pretty much mandatory for something subjected to such harsh conditions.
Any off-gassing from the concrete shouldn't really matter because you're actively pumping air out of the container all of the time while the wood is boiling off moisture.
I think my main concern is porosity, and it might not be possible to do pressure and vacuum in the same chamber. Under vacuum, you can coat the outside with epoxy and it will suck in to the concrete and create a strong structure. Under pressure, you could try to do the same on the inside, but concrete tensile strength is not awesome, and any epoxy painted on the outside is going to want to delaminate if the concrete is porous and being pressurized from inside...
But more globally speaking, I think concrete should be regarded as a resin with especially good compressive strength.

I've had this idea for working with 3D prints, but it could also work well with concrete in that you line the exterior with aluminum foil or the interior, and that is very gas impermeable.
You could also, by putting bars around the edge and then wrapping wire and tightening it, reinforce the structure and create a compression on the exterior structure for a pressure tank. Like a grain silo.
Caleb James DeLisle
in reply to Soul Dessin • • •Think about one of these things making the rebar for small intricate concrete castings made in 3d printed molds...
There's no die, it's just CNC programming, and the cost for a company with one of those machines to make you a custom object out of wire is whatever it takes them to validate your CNC program and put it into their machine.
Soul Dessin
in reply to Caleb James DeLisle • • •You could make it through the print that you wrapped with wire and then put together and then sink into the casting.
Caleb James DeLisle
in reply to Soul Dessin • • •I'm thinking you form the wire and print a multi-part mold, then you assemble the mold with the wire in it (part of the mold needs to hold the wire, that part the wire will not be covered by concrete, you just plan for it).
Then you caulk the gaps in the mold sections and apply vacuum to the top of the mold and open the bottom of the mold to a vat of concrete to suck it in.
Release vacuum, collapsing any bubbles inside of the mold, then wait for it to cure, disassemble the mold, and saw off the parts where concrete flowed in at the bottom and out at the top...
