Your confusing an external rib for the internal wall. I can see at least a .5mm gap

It wouldn’t much, the spring wouldn’t be the exact diameter of the chamber. I could see a Japanese or German pen company over-engineering the spring this way because the cad stress analyzer shows a weakness there

Kanye West doesn’t care about black people.

Why not call it Racist Hillbilly month instead?

My guess too. A longer spring would have more deflection in the middle. This design could reduce that and increase the spring force.

You would think that but almost nothing is sourced that way. Easier and cheaper just to have them made to your engineering specs. For my business we make all the hardware in house so we get better part quality than to use off the shelf screws/bolts.

I can’t believe this is the 17th one this month!

If only Logan’s Run rules were established, this never would have happened.

Does your area have any craft fairs or farmers markets? I bought mine from a local maker. Not as cheap as China but quality material and cheaper than a US corporation made version. I see them occasionally and they always say hi

I don’t know how anyone can be optimistic about this economy. This isn’t death by a million little cuts. we are headed for an unprecedented economic depression.

American culture is practically a turd in a box with a $99 price tag on it.

Joe Biden strikes again!

It’s the only time I can get any worms

What time loops? How can you tell how many times it’s happened?

I’m getting so old I can’t remember these scenes happening but it obviously did.

I let the weeds and grasses grow between the concrete slabs. It’s like dad repellent.

Society used to get up in the middle of the night and make a snack, read a book, have conversations. Maybe at the time it affects you get up for a bit and do something? Just long enough to reset your thoughts.

Who could possibly know more about health than some person who never went to med school
