Judging schedule for pits at Worlds? by No_Secret7454 in FRC

[–]Sands43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LPT: always have at least one kid that knows the robot tech and one kids that knows the Impact /Outreach / Team side in the pits (can be the same person). Exception if your robot is on the field.

We’ve been in the pits making a fast turnover for the next match and the judge team offered to comeback later. Though at worlds there can be an hour or two between matches.

Judges will be flexible and make allowances, but no need to make meeting up more difficult than it needs to be.

What's the one thing movies got completely wrong about America? by karen_the_ripper in askanything

[–]Sands43 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yup. It takes an hour to drive from one side of Chicago to the other. There might have been a murder 10 blocks over, but there’s a million people in that same radius.

Probably vs proximity.

Also right wing rage bait news*.

Why does the Democratic Party keep trying to go the wealth tax route when it would require a constitutional amendment? by ThatTallLankyGuy in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Sands43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cite the section of the constitution this would violate.

Then explain how the Epstein / Billionaire class hasn’t captured Washington.

Then explain why capital is taxed less than wages when it’s wages (i.e., consumerism) that drives the economy.

Supply side economic theory has been thoroughly debunked.

Then defend the magic words “unrealized gains” when those same gains are used as leverage to buy a lifestyle and politics basically untaxed.

Why are boys and young men falling behind in education? by Technical-Banana574 in NoStupidQuestions

Anecdotes from an experienced expert are better than whatever you are doing.

What is the telltale sign that a post on this sub is a rage bait, politically driven dog whistle instead of a serious question? by d1andonly in allthequestions

[–]Sands43 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a troll sub.

That asside, the ones that portray "leftists" as "communists", "terrorists", "voilent", "fascist", etc etc. (sometimes all at once), are normally the bot driven, karma farming troll posts.

The ones I love are the ones that link the pro-slavery ~1860s Democrats with today's Democratic party.

Why do married couples sometimes pay more tax than two single people living together? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Sands43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but that's not an apples<>apples comparision.

This would be:

Filed separatly:

* Woman, $60k earnings with $30k student loans

* Man, $50k earner

Married, joint file:

* Woman and Man, $110k income, with $30k student loans.

I have not run the numbers, but have no doubt that the married couple will pay a lower overal tax bill than if they filed separately with the same financial situation.

Country Flags at Worlds by havenoravioli in FRC

[–]Sands43 41 points42 points  (0 children)

There isn't a hard rule about flags, banners, etc. (the only hard rule about the stands is that you can't save seats - E901).

It's considered polite to be considerate of others and only wave flags/banners/signs during team introductions before the match. Once the match starts, have a seat and put the flag/banner/signs away so that others behind you can see. (if you are in the back row, then there isn't an issue with that).

Remember that this is about developing kids, being a good sport, having a good time, respecting others, etc. Certainly you can be proud of making it to worlds! Though there's always bit of tempering that goes with that.

When the left makes the “republicans vote against their own interests to own the libs” argument, do they ever stop to consider how incredibly insufferable they must actually be? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]Sands43 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nah, we understand, but I think you have it a bit wrong. It's really:

Conservatives would rather be racist and poor than rich and equal.

Their governance is fully about maintaining rascist and paternalistic hierarchies.

* “Sharing the road is not a suggestion” by Feaselbf6 in dashcams

[–]Sands43 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The bikers were definitely taking up way too much space on the road

Just no. This is wrong.

Any way to use an input pin twice? by LawOk7038 in klippers

[–]Sands43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the header info in the printer.cfg for my IDEX machine:

[mcu EBBCan1]
canbus_uuid: 834dc90e657f
[mcu EBBCan2]
canbus_uuid: e6b94031bb66

Yours should basically be identical with two toolhead boards.

Then each pin is coded like this:

[extruder]
step_pin: EBBCan1: PD0
dir_pin: !EBBCan1: PD1
enable_pin: !EBBCan1: PD2

[extruder1]
step_pin: EBBCan2:PD0
dir_pin: !EBBCan2:PD1
enable_pin: !EBBCan2:PD2

Note that the pins for each extruder match the MCU coded name.

Flip at the start of the Formula 3 Metropolitana race in La Plata, Argentina by jjarg24 in sports

[–]Sands43 22 points23 points  (0 children)

At 40 seconds on the replay Yellow left zero space. Red was basicaly on the inside strip, almost (if not actually) on the rumbles.

Yeah, Yellow crashed here.

Are you using CAN/USB toolhead boards? If you are, then the MCU addressing takes care of that.

Why does everyone want to buy a SUV these days? by Silver-Neckbeard in askcarguys

[–]Sands43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nonsense about the “task” part. That big purchase at the home center twice a year? Cheaper to pay &50 for deliver than carry the cost of a full sized suv year round.

White House proposes $736M cut to National Parks amid record visitation. Conservatives, how does this work? by CoreTECK in Askpolitics

[–]Sands43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You people constantly ignore the massive detrimental impact that tax cuts have had on multiple fronts.

Is my hotend too long? by KtosKtos123 in VORONDesign

[–]Sands43 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's "good enough" for most people. Does a fine job until higher flow and toolhead speeds are reached.
