I think I could have modeled the problem using the program.

It's a bad experiment because it doesn't take into account
whether or not the hole was properly drilled and the
Rivnut properly installed. You also have to do it with the
same aluminum tubing used on a bicycle frame, but even
then it isn't accurate because there's no way to factor in
metal fatigue which isn't an issue as much in steel as it
is in aluminum.

Remember, just because you can often get away with doing a
really stupid thing, it doesn't mean that you should still
do it.


Remember, just because one person declares a practice to be
stupid, it doesn't mean the practice really is stupid.

In fact, if the practice (like the use of Rivnuts) is
generally very successful, the stupidity probably lies
elsewhere.


Goes both ways.Â* Sometimes, the crowd looks to The Left while
visionaries look Right:

Or maybe some people only look right, even when it's the wrong direction...

Yes as I noted, goes both ways.

Crowd logic makes little difference when it comes to calculating material strength -- it's not like Trek puts its frames in a crowd and asks for opinions on the number of fatigue cycles it will withstand. It tends to use test fixtures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT4yS5wTkY0 A qualified engineer could opine on whether rivnuts are good or bad for a particular application. It's not like the prophet SMS versus the blind rivnut believers!

And the effects of the French Revolution were pretty easy to evaluate for Louis XVI. No mystery there, and living in a Blue State, the effect of Trump policy choices are immediately apparent, e.g. capped deduction for state taxes, pardoning dopes who burn public land, etc., etc. I don't need to wait 200 years to figure this one out. I'm being punished because my state voted "wrong."

Two proud parents waited for the middle school marching band to pass by
during the town parade. Soon they saw all the children concentrating
hard, blaring on their clarinets and trumpets, and marching left, right,
left, right...

Except for their own little boy, who was marching right, left, right, left.

"Look, dear!" said the proud mother. "Everyone's out of step except our
little Donnie!"

Is it more thick at the bottom of the bottom
bracket shell and at the bottom-mid section of
the down tube where I have seen this numerous
times, and also the chainguard stays to the
chainguard intersection?

And little Galileo Galilei grew up in his own special way.

Being not of the crowd goes both ways. It's not an argument
for Tesla nor for Lysenko.

One always wonders whether there will be a secondary effect of some of
these actions.

The U.S. is the largest exporter of arms in the world with $10 billion
of exports last year. How much of the $10 B is procured by Nato?

One might also not want to ignore the fact that NATO IS a neuclar
power with 200 odd neuclar bombs stored in various places in Europe.

One might argue that we make good hardware, software,
armament and kit. One might also argue that arms sales are
more political than economic so quality, price or
performance may not even be factors when compared to
arm-bending 'deals one cannot refuse' as it were.

How political can arms sales possibly be?

Being Canadian, they wouldn't want their surplus tanks used
to hurt people or anything like that:

the list of potential buyers was rather short due to
Canada's policy not to sell weapons to "problematic countries."

At least in the two wheeler world I really don't care about
your personal morals once your charge card runs and your
bike leaves my premises.
