@alphafox I’m confused, when did a giant fat ass become the perfect body shape? Kardashian? I’m glad I’m old-school. Porky butt & thighs never looked good to me. Bunch of diabetic hoes…
@VladTheInflator TF? I'm not a boomer but I identify more with the old man. Sick of punkasses driving like dicks. Also, calling for generational violence is some low IQ, weak shit.
@bscholl usually it's HCF affecting some component in the compressor (rot stall cell or excitations during load cycling). designing for perfect material is another issue. fretting, galling, corrosion pitting all lower Se (fatigue endurance limit).
@SteveBuildsUSA@bscholl I don’t think that there are any proven alternatives to gamma prime strengthened, nickel base super alloys. At least not the blades on the rotor… Maybe the stator vanes. Or are you just talking about coatings?
@SlipperyJohn76@MatthewDR@robotaxi The first video is a Robotaxi - you can see the script/graphics just behind the front fender. The second video doesn’t look like it, but it’s difficult to tell given the angles.
@RogerBreuer@elonmusk@chamath Lol, I’ve been playing in this sandbox for over two decades. There are three year lead times for the components needed to build gas turbines, such as large pancake forgings for discs, and the investment cast superalloys for the blades. Shout out to @bscholl for getting it done.
