This is a really good 3 part series on measuring the error motion of a precision spindle that I found really interesting and wanted to share.

11.5mm seems like a really oddball length. 12mm is the closest common length, and 0.5mm (.020") isn't much. Have you already confirmed that a 12mm long screw won't work? If so, grinding the tip down slightly with a rotary tool or bench grinder may be your best bet. If you can, thread a nut onto the screw before you grind it down. That way any threads that are messed up by the grinding will be restored when you take the nut off.

Hmm maybe a wire shelving unit with caster wheels?

What are you trying to store or organize? If it's tools, the 5-drawer tool cart from Harbor Freight is pretty nice.

I know this is a shitpost, but in case anyone is curious this link has a video of what can happen if a plane has unsecured weight onboard that is allowed to move around.

Very cool, thanks for the explanation. What's the purpose of the inspection? Is it to verify the correct slab and/or subgrade thickness? Or the presence of rebar?

Not a geologist. Clearly the best best lasagna can be found at depths below 2m.

But seriously, what are we looking at? I assume the solid white line at 0m is the slab itself. What's the wavy white line just below 0m?

Localized entirely within your kitchen?

Hey, who spilled this noncredibledefense in my science_memes?

Finally, someone asking the important questions.

Huh, I didn't realize my friends were on Lemmy...

The generic term is bullet connector. That's the male side, so you'll need a matching female connector. Did the head unit come with a bag of hardware or anything?

I suppose I'm shilling here, but check out rockauto.com for car parts. They carry an insane number of car parts for basically wholesale prices. A lot of times you can still buy the individual parts instead of entire assemblies.
