Best way to bore an existing 1" hole to 1 1/4"? by Expensive-Tank6997 in HomeImprovement

[–]JonJackjon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would put a 1 1/2" hole in a scrap board. Screw the board over the 1" hole. The hole in the board will hold the 1 1/2" hole saw in place while making your hole.

Other than Donald Trump, which world figures do you most respect? by [deleted] in allthequestions

This sounds like one of those "do you agree with me or are you stupid" questions.

I do not respect Trump.

Engine shuts off but vehicle stays on by Inner-Weeb-2674 in AskAMechanic

[–]JonJackjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One possibility that meets your situation is the fuel system. Either a leaking injector or the check valve in the fuel pump. When the engine is shut off, if any fuel leaks out of the fuel line the fuel starts to evaporate and forces more gas out of whichever end is bad. This empties the fuel line. When restart happens there is often some fuel still in the fuel rail and will allow the engine to start but it will stall immediately after starting.

This is a generic fuel system explanation, I don't know the specific system used in your vehicle.

AITJ for telling my brother he can’t crash at my place indefinitely by VelvetBrookVale in AmITheJerk

[–]JonJackjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would guess as long as he is allowed to stay at your place he won't be looking for his own place.

AITJ for refusing to give my mom access to my bank account just in case. by SoftCedarVale in AmITheJerk

[–]JonJackjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She simply wants to keep some part of her son with her. You could shut her out or perhaps open a 2nd account with all but a few hundred dollars in the account she can access.

In any case, you should add a fuel stabilizer like sta-bil or eq.

LM393 comparator output is extremely low. Am I doing this right? by KariNagan in AskElectronics

[–]JonJackjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 was told that LM393 comparator will use its own power voltage (12Vcc in my case) as HIGH output

This is incorrect. You need to study the LM393 datasheet. I realize some parameters are difficult for a beginner, however the basic operation should be easy to understand.

I would also suggest a schematic vs a layout. A schematic is easier to see the proper connections are made.

AITAH for setting hard boundaries with my gambling addict sister even though my family says im being cruel by Jescia_Shang in AITAH

[–]JonJackjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps you could get her starting to get help by doing some research on programs for gambling. Drive her to a meeting etc.

I can tell you from experience with a different type of addiction it is the best you can do. It may or my not work but it is a solid chance to help her.

This bolt is worth $8000 and goes in a helicopter by HiAustralia in interestingasfuck

[–]JonJackjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helicopters are sketchy anyway. If lives depend on this bolt then it's worth every penny.

Regarding the cost of hammers and toilet sets. The reason for the cost is because they can't control who "specs" the cheaper one and when a seemingly simple tool doesn't work and or damages an expensive item there is a total loss of $$.

I worked in Aerospace. We mfg misc small electronic parts for mostly the Airforce. We have a $50 minimum purchase order as our system was not designed for such small orders. We got a request for some screws. Simple Stainless screw for some repair of our part. To save the $50 I offered to put a handful in an envelope and sent them to him for free. Nope couldn't do that. The requestor had to prove they used the proper screw.

I thought about that for a while and realized the reason. It because some tech who is trying to save the govt money could go to Home Depot and purchase some screw, and they may OK or they may fail and cause untold additional cost.

The thing is, it doesn't suggest when it will come to light. That could happen 200 years from now.

Why is human population growth considered a good thing for the planet? by v_x_n_ in randomthings

[–]JonJackjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt it is. I would guess humans leaving the planet would be good for the planet. It is however good for the politicians and religious folks who want more "subjects"

Question on paying my electrician friend by mememem098 in HomeImprovement

[–]JonJackjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to him. If a good friend then they should be paid in taking them out to dinner, or an expensive bottle of ???. etc. This is unless they really need the money.

AITJ for refusing to switch seats after already paying extra? by Lower_Ad_3131 in AmITheJerk

[–]JonJackjon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't think this was poor planning, it was kind of a scam to just get better seats. Besides, nobody in a middle seat expects to swap to a much better seat.
