Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free
Reply in thread
I am in the exact same boat. The removal of "free" rotating streaming video content and limiting it to only Amazon funded shows with "free with prime" videos being hosted by 3rd party apps (fuck off, freevee) was bad enough but to start showing ads was the final straw
I cancelled my prime today. $150/yr. I can wait a few extra days for the things I need to order

Accept those that come and act to integrate them into society. They come seeing a better life and reprieve from persecution, just as the immigrants from Europe through the 1700s, 1800s, and early 1900s did.

Weird drill press at my workplace with multiple heads
Does it actually travel down with the quill or is it stationary? It's obviously powered by the belts. My guess is it's a 2nd op quill and that one is either pops out slugs that have been cut but may leave hanging Chad, or it's simply a smaller deburrer than what's in the main quill.

Tip Culture and No Tax on Tips
"No tax on tips" is not meant to benefit the common American. With the supreme Court ruling that bribery payments made after the action is taken are consisted "tips", the "no tax on tips" push is just another way to avoid paying income taxes and dodge anti-corruption and public accountability policies.

Southbend 9" motor potentially bad? help fixing or buying vfd
The motor will be printed with a frame number. You can match up the hp, frame number, and shaft diameter and it should work. Most old lathes came with reversible motors. Not all electric motors can be reversed.
Chances are if it's stopping and starting then you have a bad capacitor. Here's a link on how these motors work and what to look for to fix it https://woodgears.ca/motors/reversing.html

Just put an additional fuse rated just higher than the circuit breaker inline

What should I know before welding flux core for automotive work?
Unfortunately, many of the problems you had with stick will follow you with flux core. Flux core as a process was intended to be more productive version of stick welding. It requires more heat than gas shielded mig to burn the flux to generate the shielding gases.
If you can swing the extra cost for a solid wire mig welder and shielding gas, you will have a much easier time with any automotive welding. You might be able to struggle through an exhaust will flux core, but it's going to be a struggle for sure.

Regarding your points:
this just requires practice.
the settings require more adjustment for sure. The voltage is set based on the wire diameter and metal temperature. Wire feed speed is set based on metal thickness. There are charts you can look up that give you good starting points for dialing the machine in.
mig should have virtually zero spatter, and what is there should just brush off. If you're getting a lot of spatter there are three likely issues: a) voltage is set too high b) contact tip to work piece is too far c) the material is dirty, such as rust or paint, heavy mill scale, or a coating like zinc or galvanizing like on aluminized exhaust tubing
You'll find that the more you use mig, the more you will prefer it. It's an all around better process for home hobbiests and light fabrication.

Testing an auto darkening welding helmet
The light from welding is orders of magnitude brighter than the sun or any led flash light you can hold to it. If it flashes at all holding it up to light then it will most likely work just fine when welding.
Rest assured that even if you try to weld with it and it DOESN'T darken, the lens still protects from the uv rays. You should not continue to weld with it if it does not darken as it will so be bright and will strain your eyesight, but it won't cause any physical harm to you.

I do something very similar. I make cheese shells for tacos. It tastes amazing and is a great meal when I'm on keto

The letter looks mostly real, but they photoshopped the page to be longer and added the first two paragraphs. The page is creased where their thumb is. But that doesn't match up to the crease point on the other side of the page.

Yeah that's something you'll just have to deal with. It's better if you have a dc welder and not a super cheap ac machine

Your fear is burning your truck down because of the breaker auto-resetting and causing a program, right? Adding a fuse before the breaker will allow the breaker to operate normally. But if it's a serious problem, like an actual short and not a temporary overcurrent, the fuse will blow and not reset.
