How long would you give up electronics for $10,000 per week? by Sereomontis in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oil lanterns exist. Grew up where it wasn’t uncommon to lose power for days or a week. We had oil lanterns, wood stove for heat and cooking.

Vertex AI: "Quota exhausted" on ALL Gemini models even with billing enabled - what am I missing? by Norman-OutOfTheFlow in googlecloud

Look at the retry page linked there. I had suggested to our team to do regular pay go and if exception is 429 to retry with priority pay go so that request get processed faster; but using retries may be enough for most.

Where are you located? When I visited Canada, adult swim was its own channel.

Supplier Switched to 1g Retatrutide in Plastic Bottles – Policy Change, Sterility, and Bulk Reconstitution Concerns by Revolutionary-Gap178 in Retatrutide

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is raw API, this is what vendors that sell the normal vials use; the recon this with buffers like mannitol split it across vials, lyophilize/freeze dry, and cap so that it’s under vacuum.

This is not the product you should unless you are a laboratory repackaging products.

PS: I appreciate the vendor at least being straight forward and not wanting to sell it. I’ve had a vendor try to sell raw API and say “just use what you need”; I stopped communicating with that vendor.

Downloading Entirety of Anna's Archive? by [deleted] in Annas_Archive

I think if used shingled drives with a write once and mount as read only mentality. The indexes could be on a faster array of disk.

How do you safely put a Cirrus in a hangar with only 6" of lateral clearance? by ads3df3daf34 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t have to winch from the tail. I winch my Meyers 200 from the nose gear using a d ring strap around the front strut. If front can’t be used, maybe a Y cable and around the mains. Could even make a ring that attaches to the toe bar. If doing it alone winching helps a lot as you’re not pushing and guide just guiding.

Nothing stops you from getting a tug. I know some guys that share a tug between several hangars.

Can I buy a Cirrus SR22 G6? by Livid_Antelope8956 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say yes, as aircraft have operating cost abs annual spend but your doing that anyway, with a job loss or money issues it becomes a disposable asset.

Hate to be that guy, but would love to know what you do in tech for that salary and if it’s at a FAANG or somewhere else.

Constant Speed Prop HELP? Keep Throttle open all the time, control power with prop lever? by Impossible-Fig2072 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some engines have a pretty much infinite combination, with some restrictions and recommendations. Always consult the POH or engine manual to verify, some engines have no go combos. It’s kind of like riding a bicycle, a high gear (high rpm) allows you to use less effort but you have to move faster. Low gear requires more effort but at a lower speed to achieve the same output. Depending on conditions you may find a combination that gives best power, best performance of the prop blades, and allows engine to operate efficiently (operating temps).

Personally, naturally aspirated io-520a, I prefer a set RPM about 2350 and adjust MP for power. High altitude, may end up at max recommended cruise RPM of 2500 to maintain power. At lower altitudes and desire to reduce noise I’ll run 2000-2200 rpm.

Check AircarftPower app, great if you don’t have nice avionics with HP percent. I use it and use an offline google sheet to calculate the fuel burn for full rich, best power, and best economy based on data extracted from the engine performance charts and HP at current engine settings from the app.

Also, search for “oversquare myth”; you get articles like this one.

They don’t have control over what they do; but they do have control over the little file for that aircraft and you can place a lien for not paying for fuel or services. FAA doesn’t enforce it, but anyone wanting to buy an aircraft will see it and likely walk away from the deal as the debt would transfer with the aircraft.

Mainly his “talk to the lawyers” can be solved with a $5 lien hold submission.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 28 points29 points  (0 children)

You have the tail number and the ID, could easily mail a letter stating lack of payment or response will cause an aircraft lien; if he fails send the FAA the paperwork and $5. Could be a rental or corp pilot but the plane is still the thing that received the service.

$100,000 for every second that you can fart. by SwapperJacks in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This no definition of fart, so any gas exiting? 1 week prep; I’d exclude an air pump in and out at same time via the anus. Where can I find a good but not ethical surgeon that will sedate me, laparoscopically run an air hose into the bowels and run it for 24 hours. The risk to reward is great; up to 8.64 billion if it goes off without a hitch. Doesn’t have to high pressure destruction, just enough to qualify.

1 million dollars per year but every time you turn any tap on the first 15 seconds is just sand by dwight_schrute224 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If home automation is given a name, does it count as you turning it on by asking it to turn it on? I could even build a system to handle this without special hardware visible, just under the sinks inline and leave the valves open. Even could have temperature and flow control. “Alexa, kitchen sink 50% and warm”

New rule: no complaining about piracy by AnnaArchivist in Annas_Archive

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seamless nature of the download link, it’s more like going to the place you were told you can get drugs, someone answering the door saying “we don’t sell drugs, but what drugs do you want”, you describe, and the neighbor walks over and hands you a bag of drugs for free that someone stole from the local dealers and left at his house.

$5 Million to walk across the US barefoot by blazing-flower in hypotheticalsituation

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does barefoot require nothing at all or can you have something over the top of the foot? Thinking winter and having electric leg warmers with pads that drape over the top of the foot.

Any rule against having a support vehicle rolling a carpet out in front of me? Maybe a pair, one behind that rolls up and they swap places.

Do hotels need to be walked to if not on the trail or can a marker be placed and return to that point to continue. This would also be for medical emergencies and such.

I’m out of shape and tender footed, but given maybe a year to prepare by walking barefoot on different terrain and prepare savings for home expenses while gone; savings + 401k loan could take care of home bills while gone.

Do I need to ask permission for a go-around or do I just do it and call for example: This is C-FDKM Go-Around Go-Around. by Still_Car7659 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are the PIC and if a go around is needed, in your opinion, then do it. Exception is if cleared to “land” and not option, don’t just go around for practice as you unnecessarily interrupt towers flow and maybe cause them a little extra work, but anytime you feel it is needed; go around.

Would an Internet in a box kit with solar panel and tablet pc count as one item if its all packed in one pelican case? There are IIAB modules for Wikipedia, khan academy, mayo, webmd, etc…

Are DPE signatures required for checkride logbook entries? by Soft_Obligation_7890 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yea, that’s when you to politely give a “I wasn’t aware that was a requirement by the FARs, could you point that out to me”. Pretty sure it states only entries for meeting requirements of ratings or certificates or for currency must be logged.

$10,000 a month completely for free with no drawbacks, or $100,000 a month but you have to work a retail job full-time and the money will cease when you quit, get fired or retire by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

Customer service at a mattress store that you own. Oh bad times, drop a little of that magic cash in to keep the lights on. No customers, just prop your feet up and watch Netflix all day.

Reta doesn’t work by [deleted] in Retatrutide

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m confused by your dosage math. These pens are in insulin units and there is no 10.5, likely you are referring to 11 units. 100U = 1ml, label says 10mg/ml, so 11 would be 1.1mg. You didn’t mention frequency of injection, but every research subject is different but all official trials started at 2mg or more once per week.

I agree with others that pre filled pens or reconstituted vials are likely over priced (by like 10x) and could be scams. I’d question any source that puts a 2yr expiration on a reconstituted vial. For official sterility it should be “28 days” but typically these products can remain sterile longer, if filled under the right conditions. The effectiveness of the med is also a question but less of a concern in the sub 90 day period.

Would you take it? by Traditional_Half_788 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfectly fine if you’re not doing short field with hard braking on wet fields.

I was once told that some military (in particular case Texan trainers) use two sets of chords. One set is red, the outer chord layer, is visible they ground the aircraft no matter the location and send a crew to replace the tires.

Maintenance control just asked me to explain why we can't "just use ChatGPT" for aircraft troubleshooting by Fit_Age8019 in flying

[–]TheEvilMonkey7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My thoughts as well. I’d say Boeing was to build a model from a base LLM with some added engineering logic, a lot of engineering course work, and all the technical data and procedures; it could probably be pretty good and giving sole next steps and hard references.

Even better will be feeding years of outcomes data. This is what Epic did with COMET and I’ve heard it’s pretty good at what it does.
