We are the "loud neighbors"

Our combined weight is less than 260lbs. Not sure about walking heavy... I've never thought about that. I am flat footed, though, so maybe.

We are the "loud neighbors"

No doorman, it's a small and cheap apartment. I wouldn't be surprised if our building is poorly constructed...we hear all of our neighbors too but being just out of college, we ignore it. I'm almost tempted just to go on living life and when they come up again, tell them to deal with it. I mean...

We are the "loud neighbors"

I live in a studio apartment in Manhattan with my girlfriend. Small place, like 350sqft, but we are comfortable. Problem is, the couple who lives below us can't handle how "loud" we are. Which is strange, because we are some of the quietest people I know. We don't have people over, we don't...

Atot goggles

http://goggles.sneakygcr.net/ Place the button in your bookmarks. On any web page, you can click the link in your bookmarks and draw. Everyone who is using goggles on that site can draw and see what everyone is drawing. I started with the dinosaur motorbike on ATOT. Have fun.

The Shrew: Most disgusting rodent (not actually a rodent) in existence

I've always been a fan of sticky traps. I know they're brutal but sometimes it's the only thing that works. Then we got a cat.

Mechanical engineers... I need some help

Load should be pretty constant. I said "up to 50lbs" because I'm not sure exactly how heavy it will be yet. Pulleys + counterweight seems like a good idea, I just figured those pneumatic door things are simpler and more compact as the mechanism is packaged into a relatively small tube.

One last note. Some examples I was looking at are things like car trunk doors, manual garage doors, balanced arm articulating lamps, etc. That's the type of motion I'm looking for. Thanks!

Power screw would be too slow, and I prefer not to have any electronics involved. I want the motion to be possible through just lifting the weight with arms/hands.

Sorry, more details. The motion is just vertical. Distance travel should be about 3 ft or so. Speed should be pretty rapid, be able to cover the 3 ft within a few seconds.

Mechanical engineers... I need some help

Hey all, For a project I'm working on for school I basically need to come up with a mechanism that can move a somewhat heavy load (up to 50lbs) up and down on a rail rather effortlessly, and stay in place at any point along the rail, without breaking the bank. I looked briefly into balanced...

Box wine in new york...

Well considering that I've never had Franzia before... I may be in for a surprise :D I'll take the pain for the sake of festivities. I mean, I'm in college, I'm pretty sure I can take it at this point in my life. Thanks for the warning though.

Haha, I'm in the financial district, there's a Gristedes half a block away, and I've never been inside. 24-hour Jubilee is just too convenient.
