Thank you for spelling aluminium correctly.
It’s the aluminimum I could do
No. The Latin ending -ium designates that something comes from a place. Like, magnesium was originally found in Magnesia. Aluminia is not a place. It’s name is derived from the Latin word ‘alumen’ for aluminum oxide.
This is what happens when you let people read the Bible in English.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element.
They were playing both sides
In America we say almuilum
In the original book it was written as aluminum, the British publisher, got it wrong and the country has been saying it wrong ever since.
the country has been saying it wrong ever since
If by country you mean the USA (and its northern colony). Literally everyone else in every language that matters spells it aluminium.
Also, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element.
It looks so good that it’s not Renaissance fair.
I’ve done something similar with aluminum fence wire. It’s strangely very satisfying to hold.
nice work, but the guys got some pretty stupid ideas on what ‘a man’ is
What is a man?
A miserable little pile of aluminum wire!
apparently; a human who likes being weighted down with chainmail
Unless he floats, in which case he’s a witch
Given the chance to be weighted down with chainmail, do you feel like most men would enjoy or not enjoy it?
Given the chance to be weighted down with chainmail, do you feel like most men would enjoy or not enjoy it?
Circular reasoning. See above. A man is defined by those beings who like being weighted down with chain mail.
Okay, hear me out:
Given the chance to be weighted down by another man…
Instructions unclear.
That horse is a pervert!
i guess i would ask why only men would enjoy it, and, ya know, not all humans. why even bring gender it to it? its silly
like the person who brings a chicken to a knife fight. i guess its technically possible, but why would ya?
I think maybe we’re overthinking it. Maybe BeefyGorilla just really likes chainmail, and it makes him feel masculine, which feels good to him. And that’s okay.
I can agree with this definition
What has he got?
A miserable little pile of secrets, but enough talk.

But enough talk. Have at you!

pursues his own interest, even if it seems weird to others.
-
brings an idea he cares about from germ to product, even though it’s a lot of work
It’s not so bad!
Yes, but are those two points gender specific?
I don’t think so, but our ideas of gender are individual- maybe that makes the perfect man for this guy and the perfect woman is decisive and well informed.
Because of my dad and husband, I have an association between manliness and home cooking, which is probably not super common, but it’s still definitely there in my head.

Well, not only men can be on the spectrum!
Everyone I’ve messed with chain mail it’s always felt like it’s ripping out my body hair. This looks like torture.
This is why chainmail is always used with a liner. I imagine the guy in the posts uses a sheet or a thin blanket beneath
This is what it means to be a man.
A completely hairless man.
That’s because the ends aren’t welded and microgaps can snag everything.
If you can’t braise aluminum (and most people can’t) then you can use little dots of JBweld in the gaps. Time consuming but 100x more comfortable.

Huh, my roommate makes chainmail and I’ve never had this issue. Maybe it’s a crafting quality issue, and he’s just really good at keeping the ends together?
Over time even good annealed coiled chain will separate, and when you have to knit thousands of links sometimes you get sloppy.
Accidental epilator.
I think riveting the rings helps with that but it makes it way way harder.
Well, you’re not supposed to wear it against bare skin. For suits of armor they wore padded jackets underneath the chainmail.
coil cut cosplay ‘chainmail’ is NOTHING like actual combat chainmail.
I can’t judge. I do weird/benign shit like this too. I might even enjoy this if given the opportunity to try it.
It’s* beautiful
How loud will that be?
hear me out: tungsten chainmail blanket
W tho
That wouldn’t have the same heat transferring capacity, but it would be heavier.
Depleted uranium blanket. My sleep paralysis demon is a plutonium sphere.
Even though the radioactivity would be negligible, it would still be toxic as a heavy metal. Tungsten is definitely the way to go here.
Unless it’s thoriated tungsten anyway.
Thorium->Radium->Radon->Polonium->Lead (I think?)
Why would tungsten be thoriated? Is it an impurity which is hard to remove, or is it intentionally added for some specific purpose?
It’s used as electrodes for TIG welding torches. It was originally specified for aerospace and nuclear welding jobs because it’s really durable and handles heat well. And then it became popular everywhere else for the same reasons.
Now it’s supposed to be used less, but a lot of guys still like it for its consistency. If you don’t grind it to sharpen it it’s pretty safe to handle. So you can get pre ground electrodes for high end welding work.
Cool, TIL! How much is generally added? Is it a trace amount or a substantial fraction?
Looks like only 1-2% by weight.
Isn’t tungsten kind of brittle? And radioactive?
The brittlenes apparently depends on the form it takes (polycrystalline or single-crystalline). And while there are some radioactive isotopes of tungsten most of them are synthetic and only made in a lab. The vast majority of the tungsten found on earth is stable.
Haters will say it’s too hard to machine
Magnesium chainmail if you’re sleeping on the surface of the sun or next to my tiny girlfriend
I’ll say this for the thick girls, they’re cool on the outside and don’t bitch about freezing. Meanwhile, my 95lb. wife, permanently frozen and shedding heat like a hummingbird.
First thing in the morning, sweating my ass off, legs glued together…
“Babe! Let me embrace you!”
"Get OFF! pant, pant, pant
Is this a feature of small women? My wife puts off heat like an oil furnace under the covers.
Well, fat is insulant, so it helps to keep the heat energy inside the body. Fat, therefore, also provides some protection against cold. On the other hand, if you live in areas with higher ambient temperature, it is more comfortable to be able to exhaust that heat, instead of storing it.
So, yes, it is a feature?
I meant small women, not fat ones. The original comment was “my tiny girlfriend”.
And I meant, that as fat has insulating properties, the lack of fat, ergo “tiny body” does not have insulating properties. Thus, a tiny body exhausts more heat, and therefore 1) feel cold more easily and 2) heats the surrounding area.
So yes, tiny bodytype tends to exhaust heat under a blanket.
Could even be a heated blanket that glows.
Aren’t weighted blankets most used by autistic people?
I think they are mostly used by people who feel more comfortable using a weighted blanket.
Fucking checkmate
