    With social media, you follow people, not topics and people for some batshit insane reason are willing to use their real name and face. With a forum, or in this case link aggregation platform, you follow topics. There is no real incentive or reason to follow an individual on a forum.

    In industry, there would be a valve tag there indicating what kind of fluid was being piped through, which are color coded. The color of the handle doesn’t mean anything normally, but some companies will use red to denote it is a FC (fail close) valve etc.






  • The thing about concrete in a situation like that, though, is it is relatively easy to make new material for construction. That lathe was designed specifically for people to make when they’ve got nothing else and get some actual decent accuracy.

    Also, flip it on its end and you have a drill press to put that scrap together with.
