Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

I've used a twist in the strap and that seems to help a lot.

Gotta be careful though, twist in the strap can ruin the strength limit of the strap if it's under load

Edit: others have pointed out it's for cargo straps specifically. I guess I was thinking of more knotting than twists. Either way, just follow the instructions.

Someone tested this and found it to be basically not true. https://youtu.be/ifyJjQXOttE

Interesting. I was under the impression that the vibrations could be a problem if not twisted

apparently it's a hotly debated topic, who knew! https://dccargo.com/blogs/strap-chat/to-twist-or-not-to-twist-cargo-straps

This is how I was trained, yeah. No twists!!

Apparently this is a bit of a myth https://youtu.be/ifyJjQXOttE
