    Drill bits are coated in tungsten carbide. Sometimes. There are a variety of coatings.

    The drill bits you’re buying at the big box store are high speed still with some kind of coating to help them last a little longer. The specialty drill bits you’re buying for working on metal are also HSS with a different coating and probably different tip geometry.

    End mills are milling/lathe inserts can be HSS or carbide, also with some tungsten coating. Importantly, these are sintered, and made out of dust.

    Tungsten carbide is waaaay too brittle to work as a drill bit.




  • Kinda depends how you like your potatoes. I generally like them a little lumpy, but I think the twelve or so of us in the lumpy crew nationwide lose that fight every Thanksgiving.

    But! The ineffective ass potato masher does a real good job of breaking up ground meat in to super tiny bits in the pan for stuff like Taco meat.








  • I’m just now noticing how sloppy his robot arm sleeve is.

    Likely a production issue where the prosthetic just wouldn’t fit in the sleeve so they said fuck it and cut it, which is what civilians would do.

    But that man is a citizen, and active duty. A) since so many of the military members are missing limbs it stands to reason there would be a standard protocol, even a special shirt issued for members who’s limbs no longer fit. And B, presumably, regardless of limb status, torn sleeves have got to be a few lashings.
