Until you have more than 100 lab techs

You could always seed

DBZer0, aka Divide By Zer0. He runs an instance with the same name. He's one of the old mods on r/piracy and helped lead an exodus over to Lemmy

Does that change anything regarding the discussion?

Yes, because the term "fatigue limit" makes lay people think the exact opposite of what is intended.

Head's up, referring to it as a "limit" like your article did is incorrect. In engineering you have what's called an S-N diagram, which plots out the average time to failure based on average cyclic stress. Basically, a lower avaerage stress results in a higher average life. Also, this plot uses a logarithmic scale for both axis, because then all of the plots are straight lines.

For steel, the S-N diagram has what's called the "knee", which is where you have two distinct lines in the S-N curve: one horizontal and one at an angle, with the two intersecting at 1 million cycles. Referring to the knee as a limit (like in the article) is wrong because it's not a limit; it's the threshold where if you design a part to last beyond that (aka less cyclic stress than would get 1 million cycles) then it practically lasts forever.

In reality, the part won't actually last forever, since the S-N curve beyond 1 million cycles isn't perfectly horizontal. It's just that reducing your cyclic stress quickly increases your predicted life into billions or even trillions of cycles. This is known as ultra-high cycle fatigue, and it's generally impractical to do all the testing required to model because each sample would take months to test on the low end. Plus, there's little demand for such models in the industry, though there are a handful of PhD students and post-docs working on it

Personally, I have a subscription to Shonen Jump's app and love it, while kmanga insists on trying to get you to buy individual chapters, which I refuse to do.

Piracy is a service problem

They do it to get you to buy points because they seem incapable of understanding any monetization strategy besides paying-per-chapter

Also, ffs how do you design a car without crumple zones in this day and age?

While I agree, I do have to clarify that there is a fatigue limit, it's mainly that the limit for steel increases so fast that few people are willing to put in the testing for billions of cycles to model ultra-high cycle fatigue

As opposed to "Platinium"

Weirdo types that decided they were in charge of naming things

You can say "British" here
