  • As long as the wiring is good for 20A it's fine. Also if you break open a 15A recepticle a lot of them have the 20A contacts in there as well since it's the same unit just with a different face.

  • I'd start with washing and letting it sit in the sun a couple of days. If that doesn't work I'd go nuclear with an ozone generator just be easy with it or it will turn the food smell into an off-gasing plastic smell, and don't use it in an occupied space. Idealy stick it in a tote outside or something like that.

  • Save

    Jump
  • Agreed but given the symbol for an SSD would be a rectangle or a rectangle with a plug at the bottom, I think HDD would be the most recent tech that would convey "save" when used as a symbol.

    Hard to beat the good ol' floppy though

  • Save

    Jump
  • Probably the closest one is an open HDD but still. Good UI should not require explanation and everyone recognises a floppy disk as "Save".

    Same as if I want to send domething and see a paper airplane.

  • I love operating heavy machinery as long as I don't have to get out/off the heavy machinery.

    If I have to get off to fix it when it breaks then I'm unhappy.

    Using an airconditioned tractor for literally anything, fun. Unjamming the fucking hay bailer when it's over 100F and 95% humidity and there's dust everywhere, not fun.

  • In the US there is the 'Ghost Flower' or 'Indian Pipe' which is parasitic to fungus which is parasitic to the host tree. It is totally white with no chlorophyll.

    It's parasites all the way down.

  • Ah. So yeah like the other person said those static blades are stators. I havent found a good name for the cone aside from "aft cone" but that's more for turbines. The stators should help it make pressure (that's what they do in turbines) but the only reason I see for the aft cone is reduction of turbulence and since this is for cooling the hot end turbulence is actually a positive thing because it reduces the skin of hot air that sits against the heatsink fins.

    If you're pusing enough air you may benefit from a nose cone but it should probably be more hemispherical. Also an intake cone that's like a trumpet bell might be beneficial.

    For noise, most is probably in the blades but you may see some reduction by adding a sweep to your stators and/or adding a jaged pattern in some places like all the new jet engines do. Like this: https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/qtd2sunrise3024x20160.jpg

    Granted, on the scale we're talking here all of this will be splitting hairs.

  • Yep. The title should get at least a very rough idea of what you're looking for.

    It's asklemmy so we already know you're asking a question. So you can typically get away with just doing like an email subject level of description.

    "US to Canada buy and reship services?"

    "Options for Canadians to get items sold in US?"

    "How can a Canadian get something from the US that isn't sold online?"

    All of these would work and attract people who might know or have dealt with similar issues, as well as those who dealt with totally different issues that may share the solution, getting you better answers to your question instead of the shotgun approach and hoping the right people are curious enough to click on your post.

  • The cone shaped hub in the middle? Same reason you'd see a pointed nose or tail on a plane, to reduce drag and turbulence and possibly noise. With some fans it doesn't really matter but at high enough flows it'll become worth it to spend the extra money on that part to make it cone shaped.

    Look at airplane propellers. On them that part is called a spinner. On an old, slow, biplane with tons of cables and other draggy parts, it likely wont have one because it'll make no difference anyway. But on anything that's the slightest bit sleek you'll have one because it will significantly reduce drag.

  • Some countries use the barrel as the S/N part instead of the receiver but I'd rather a wear item not be the s/n item. Plus, with AR15 you can buy one receiver and then gets finished uppers in 5.56mm, 9mm, .50 Beowulf, .300 Blackout etc.

  • Airsoft for self-defense?

    That is the worst idea I have ever heard.

    Literally all you're going to do is piss them off. Unless you have a rediculously high powered one and put it right through somebodys eye you ARE NOT incapacitating someone with airsoft.

  • It would be Mellenials and Gen-X making the training but, nevertheless, at least there's merit for the younger generation blaming the older generation.

    Any problem an older generation can claim exists with a younger generation can generally be traced right back to the older one.
