Arcs don't need to be high current. But this will absolutely fail at some point, how soon is a question.

Just another day in the life of a ladybug rancher 😎

Yeah, fridge for about 60 minutes. Didn't seem to help

No, some 1200cc motorcycles use them.

I discovered this the fuckin hard way, bought a container of ladybugs and distributed them along my various plants getting sapped by aphids. Next morning, only the goddamn aphids remained..

I'm a long distance road biker, I'd say upgrading the saddle and getting some reasonably comfy padded tights is well worth the money. You don't have to be in spandex.

Saddle currently: Selle TRK (pick a width based on how wide your sitz bones are) Bibs: you gotta decide here. I might recommend Patagonia's MTB stuff if you want something fairly multipurpose that works with camping (if you've got the money)

5000mAh? I'm guessing you mean physical dimensions of the phone.

Yep. I'm on a bike older than me, she's light and dependable even in the Seattle rain. Street bike, but I still camp with it 👍

To anyone else in Washington state that wants texts on your ballot status (received, confirmed, problem etc), text the word VOTE to 868392.

Don't blindly take my, or any other person's word for it when it comes to this election, https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/how-to-track-your-ballot-in-wa/

Anyone have input here?

I'm trying to decide which I like, yammie noob had a cool vid comparing the two with the xsr seemingly on top, but spec-wise, the z900 should be wild. I'm aware there are tune and exhaust kits to wake the undertuned z900 up.

I like spirited riding, but mostly on straights as I roar off to a campsite in the mountains. What do you folks think?

Google Pay alternative?

Hey there, I'm looking for an alternative to Google pay that'll allow me to use NFC payments etc. Thoughts?

I don't have a Google account, nor am I interested in opening one.

E: Just to clarify, the payment part would be convenient, more annoying is how I don't get to use a single place for my subway/gym/ticketmaster passes.

 

What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode.

NBD, but what the fuck?

 

So, after watching "Plagues and pleasures on the Salton sea" (available on YouTube for free), I decided to look into what was happening to it.

Looks like we actually may help with restoration. But what does that mean, where are we getting the water for it? Will that money actually get to us?

 

Love this guy.

Some interesting ideas on reducing the time to decrypt certain ciphered info, in spite of axolotl's large key-size.

How's the weather up there for riding? Not afraid of water, just careful with it.

Hey everyone.

I built an mk3s+ from its kit form successfully, tested a few PLA prints with the stock 0.4 nozzle.

I've set prusaslicer to use a 0.6 nozzle now that I've upgraded, and am using PETG. Prints look pretty bad, in spite of calibrating z-offset etc.

If you were doing something like this for the first time, what would your setup steps be like?

To be specific, using a diamondback 0.6 nozzle, matterhackers PETG at 235c.

Issues I'm seeing are a really bad loss of detail, lots of stringing, etc.

eta: added a photo of a moderately post-processed part. Notice how rough the top surface looks, there's a disconnect between perimeter loops, etc.
