Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi...

The airline industry will be ravaged for years to come and the effects will be felt across the entire economy, a new Moody's report says dslotnick@businessinsider.com (David Slotnick)   The airline industry will be ravaged for years to come and the effects will be felt across the entire economy, a new Moody's report says   Commercial aviation will be ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic for years to come, according to a new report from Moody's.

The best music to listen to for optimal productivity, according to science Rachel Gillett   Flickr/William Brawley Music doesn't have to add to your list of distractions. Oftentimes we have innumerable distractions at work competing for our attention. Luckily, music can help put us back on a more productive track.

Qual é a diferença entre ser esperto e ser inteligente?

By

Tiago Arantes de Nascimento · 30 de março Antigo Técnico industrial Qual é a diferença entre ser esperto e ser inteligente? O esperto é um produto do meio, uma pessoa que não teve condições de ter uma boa educação mas que é muito vivida e extremamente perspicaz e criativo encontra soluções para seus problemas mesmo com pouco recurso. Como geralmente passam por muitas dificuldades desde a infância então possui uma intuição mais aguçada que lhe permite não ser enganado facilmente assim como se utiliza dessa habilidade para perceber as fraquezas das pessoas e as manipula para benefício próprio. Sabe qual o maior esperto que já conheci ? Ele mesmo, João Grilo, do meu filme preferido, o Auto da Compadecida. O amarelo mais sabido que já vi, retrato do matuto sertanejo que dribla as adversidades da vida usando a esperteza. Apesar de na maioria das vezes agir sem ética não dá pra negar que ele é esperto demais. Ganhou dinheiro de sacerdotes, matou lampião, riu da cara do diabo, se livrou d...
