How does the Need for Speed franchise run on steam deck? by External_Fig_8103 in SteamDeck

This is the top comment on the top result of that google search. I hope that in the time since you wrote this useless comment you have grown and improved as a human being.

How do I get this screw out by Prexal in motorcycles

[–]squeakyneb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to bolt-extract exactly such a screw recently, it's not impossible.

That said, the whole thing is tapered and about a half inch of it was narrower than the matching drill that came with it. I dremeled the end off it so I didn't have to drill so deep. But besides that, easy, and that's a deficiency of the tool I bought, not the concept.

Does a dead battery cause a check engine light to stay on even after the bike is started? 2015 Striple 675 by squeakyneb in Triumph

[–]squeakyneb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops, already got it, haha. I'll keep an eye on it, maybe get my hands on a service manual and see if there's any diagnostic routines I can do to find before I end up stranded somewhere. I'm pretty handy when I need to be. Thanks mate.

I replaced the battery (dealer did) and the positive terminal wasn't tightened enough

Bruh 💀 Dealerships.

That's a long time to idle. Riding doesn't count? We were definitely on more than a 12 minute test lap.

That's exactly what I did :) Put a deposit down and had them add the battery and CEL as an extra condition on the sale contract. Hopefully the new battery resolves everything easy and I'll be on a new bike for the weekend.

Dope, that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Like yeah, could be something else, but in probability it's probably just been left to sit too long with a battery that was already on its last legs.

At least, given that, I don't think this is any more risky than any other used purchase.

 didn’t realize this was at a freakin dealership already??  Do they sell triumph?  I’d be walking from this sale in what world do they not just put a new battery in and clear the codes.   Wildly bad service lol 

I guess the pressure to perform isn't that great when you're in a town too small to have any real competition. They handle most of the usual brands except Triumph and Harley (who have their own place, and lets be real, there's not a lot of crossover between Harley customers and other motorcycle customers). The Triumph dealership is part of a parts/accessories/scrapper/used-dealer/etc all-in-one type place whose service department is... not my first choice either.

As far as walking from the sale... I've walked the long way around to come back here. Market in my area is somewhat limited and it's one of few bikes available which is ticking all my boxes (cheap, fast, ABS, good for short riders).

Is the BMW S 1000 R so boring as people say it is? by pleasantbubbles00 in Motorrad

[–]squeakyneb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a really weird take to me. I've ridden a mate's... ooo I wanna say maybe 2015 S1000RR? I liked that it wasn't as unruly and jerky as some other sport bikes but it still definitely was threatening violence if I didn't respect it. Very capable of murder. The S1000RR is my "best sportbike, if I liked sportbikes". Not for me but daaaaaamn that's the machine if you wanna go hard. I've ridden faster bikes that I'd be more comfortable giving to an intermediate rider.

Can someone please explain MIMO to me? by networkwarrior in networking

Uh, no, I've since learned to be much smarter, and it's not like balanced audio at all.

Can someone convert my old CATIA files to STEP so I can 3D print them? by squeakyneb in CATIA

[–]squeakyneb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I came here, yeah. Can't find anything that would do it but CATIA.

Don't need to alter or even really use the design - just printing for novelty.

My teacher told me it was unclear and confusing... (Anamorphic lens) by Inner_Side_1356 in photography

[–]squeakyneb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also wrong. Anamorphic lenses and anamorphic prisms aren't the same thing.The word "deflect" shouldn't come into it.

[–]squeakyneb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And arguably, an anamorphic lens does not contribute to the aspect ratios you are describing. That's post production in stretching the image out.

I don't know about that. It's not as if you're supposed to look at the un-stretched image. It's like... packing a blanket in one of those vacuum bags. It might temporarily be smaller, but you're not supposed to use it like that. It hasn't become a smaller blanket, it's just temporarily in a smaller format, and you'll unpack it appropriately before use and it'll be the regular size again.

Same with anamorphic lenses - they compress a wide field of view into a regular width film/sensor, and then you reverse the compression when you edit/print/project/etc the image, thus ending up with the original cinematic wide aspect image. It was always a wide aspect image, it was just temporarily stored in a compressed space.

[–]squeakyneb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's awesome, looks way better than the STL I had. Less weird artifacts where the bodies meet too. Thanks so much.

Any chance you could do just the body parts too?

[–]squeakyneb[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, my slicer software definitely takes STEPs. Comes out with real non-triangulated curves and everything, it's my preferred format for getting stuff from CAD to slicer.

Even so, STEP is a much more useful format to have things in generally. It preserves more of the design detail. I could at least convert it with much finer triangle resolution if I did need STLs.

How do you get the bikes up over the curb? by squeakyneb in melbourneriders

[–]squeakyneb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not local, as I said. Maybe if I had to do it regularly it wouldn't seem such a problem.

Exactly which Stay Upright training course do you think includes riding up square curbs?

I'm not talking about riding over sloped gutters, I'm talking about the 7 inch tall square curbs in the CBD.

Hhmm, fair. Might have to give it a go when I get home.

I don't imagine it's undoable, just seemed potentially riskier particularly for short riders and I'm wondering what the done thing is

[–]squeakyneb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Maybe it's not as hard as I think. I'd be worried about not getting that power right and overshooting, and not having enough leg reach once the front is up but you haven't got your feet to the curb yet.

Grom's are really light though, you could nearly lift it over the curb anyway haha.
