People who work for steel manufacturers are probably ecstatic, because they get to increase their prices by 25%. In theory this will spur more competition in domestic steel manufacturing, but I'm doubtful companies will be willing to invest in adding significant capacity when the tarrifs could disappear in the blink of an eye.

I broke my jaw as a kid and had my teeth wired shut for a couple of weeks. Half-and-half was the best way I found to get calories. Mix it with chocolate syrup to change things up. Protein shakes are also good.

 

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.

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.

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.
