Everyone I’ve messed with chain mail it’s always felt like it’s ripping out my body hair. This looks like torture.
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.
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.
I think riveting the rings helps with that but it makes it way way harder.
Accidental epilator.
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.

Can order plox
Pure diamond chainmail for if you really wanna be cold. 10x more effective at heat transfer than copper
I need a pure diamond heatsink contact surface
You may well get one in your lifetime. CVD technology is becoming increasingly practical, and future improvements in computing may depend on it.
Also protects you from random stabbings at 4 am
Only if you wake up, otherwise a coup de grace automatically crits regardless of AC.
Hungry cats hate this WEIRD truck
what’s the difference between a weird truck and a normal truck?
A typo
Thank you for spelling aluminium correctly.
It’s the aluminimum I could do
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.
They were playing both sides
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.
hear me out: tungsten chainmail blanket
Haters will say it’s too hard to machine
W tho
That wouldn’t have the same heat transferring capacity, but it would be heavier.
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.
Could even be a heated blanket that glows.
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.
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.

Too bad aluminum will oxides and cause black stains on the bed sheets
So you replace this with aluminum?
Replace bed sheets with aluminum.
Replacement bed sheets in question
I can hear this picture, and it does not sound conducive to a good night’s sleep.
Just blacken the aluminum.
And the sheets.
nice work, but the guys got some pretty stupid ideas on what ‘a man’ is
-
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.

What is a man?

What has he got?

But enough talk. Have at you!
apparently; a human who likes being weighted down with chainmail
I can agree with this definition
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.
Unless he floats, in which case he’s a witch
A miserable little pile of aluminum wire!
It’s a Faraday blanket!
This will protect me from the harmful Covid causing 5g rays I’ve heard so much about.
Well, not only men can be on the spectrum!
I can’t judge. I do weird/benign shit like this too. I might even enjoy this if given the opportunity to try it.
This is like… Super Saiyan 3 autism
