Things that piss you off!

lol. . .ah ain't the love of siblings grand
mayhaps you could plot something devious for her this time. . . .either that or CLEAN UP

[Commerce]

^ I'm not going to rewire everyting just for her. I like having wires and hardisks all over the place. Its an aquired taste.

[Krudda]

The wap enabled version of these forums SUCKS
I know its lo-fi but fuck, what about convinience.

This is true of ALL websites, usually the lo-fi versions don't work as intended.

lol you can say that again. . .(ye could be shocked in the process). . . I be leaving my possessions as they are, thank you.

Sisters. I just realised that my sis is going to be living here tomorrow while she renovates her apartment.... Well fuck.

~yay. Incest. (This is sooo the cliche setting in h-manga ne~~)

Metallurgy is pretty interesting indeed. I've done some forging of knives myself so I've spent a couple of hundred hours researching steels. Made some damask steel myself too, that shit takes way too long to forge but man is it pretty when you cut and polish it. The upside to taking long to forge is that it doesn't require any specific high-grade tools unlike modern supersteels.

Oh, random fact about japanese katanas, you know how they always promote the "folded so and so many times"? The more you have to fold it, the shittier your iron ore was to begin with. And any folding after the seventh time or so means your katana sucks. The gains after that point degrades the metal and is more for aesthetic purposes.
It's funny though, the japanese didn't even know what steels was before the Europeans brought the concept over. Chinese invented steel back in the BCs which makes it even funnier. The knowledge had to make a full round circle of the earth before reaching the island nation. Of course part of the reason is that the Japanese iron ore is total crap, which is why the katana is as it is, you could not forge it from one piece or it would simply break apart in battle. The backside keeps the hard edge from shattering on impact, or it's supposed to. Even the "final" form of katana can be broken apart rather easily by anyone having decent skill with sai or the japanese baton. You hit the sword straight on to chip away a part of the blade and then simply twist your weapon to break apart the sword, higher quality katanas could require two hits to the same spot first. So yeah, the katana is not the form it is because it is the ultimate form, it's the way it is so that you can make it from japanese iron and it won't break apart at first contact.

Again, it also depends if you are talking about strength by weight or strength by volume.

I always assume people comprehend strenght as by volume. That is how we normally handle stuff in day-to-day life. 2x4, 5inch pipe etc.
Weight is only relevant for more abstract stuff like engineering calculations and stuff.

lol, or when they be standing all to close to you. practically right on your heels!

Mistgun_Zero, it does seem all to familiar does it not.

Me too. Which brings me to something else that pisses me off.  It really pisses me off when my wife calls my cash of pc parts junk and asks me to throw it away.

ouch now that is just TOO cruel. . .me don't care even if it be extra bolts or a piece of soldering wire. . .they mine and thus will remain where they are thank you.

Hell yeah... A large container full of assorted bolts is absolutely invaluable for building or repairing computers.

I hate the fact that several forums now have those 'confirm you're human' thingies for remember passwords, that don't even render and even in their contact us has those which makes things all the more difficult to never get back your password...

Also why this forum has no fast reply, do I have to activate it in my settings or what?

[froody1911]

that don't even render

Never had that problem...

Yup, you do.

lol don't even get me started on that. . .that is truly annoying.

Duck Dodgers, you won't believe how many times I have been saved just by having such an assortment.
so why keep buying new ones when it's an endless cycle. . .Noooo thank you, I'd rather keep my bits and pieces and woe to all that try take it from me

Their katanas are meant used to cut or thrust at people who are lightly armored, not clad in platemail. They already had the lack of iron and the quality of those iron.
They had to make do with what they have to keep up with the killing.

You need to consider material weight if you use it to build structures where it needs to support weight etc.

Strength by weight may not mean that it can support the stuff. Carbon nanotubes have orders of magnitude of tensile strength per kg compared to steel, but you could still pull it apart, cause it's tiny. We still use steel cables now for good reasons.

Having some spare parts around can be useful. Or the tools to handle such materials too if you know how to use it.

I've lost some of my notes for tomorrow's test

We use steel cables because nanotube structures the size of steel cables would be expensive and unfeasible to work with, not because they would be weaker (they wouldn't).

I'm saying they are weaker because they are way tinier.

Like bending steel wires and bending a log.
