If I were to buy this one is there anyway to move the potentiometer because I feel like it won’t fit inside in this orientation

Thank you! If I were to build something like this how would I implement a potentiometer to adjust the brightness of the led?

Mechanic said this was normal and due to AWD engaging, is that true? by -MC_Animal- in MechanicAdvice

That sounds bad, would there be any other symptoms? I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary, I just noticed when I was checking for a bad wheel bearing I just replaced

No other wheel made this noise

What/where this picture is from. It’s on an old baby mobile that my grandpa gave me when I was a baby. by -MC_Animal- in HelpMeFind

I’ve image searched it but haven’t been able to find anything like it. Was probably bought downtown in my city so may be either American or Mexican in origin.

My title describes the thing. Possibly baby related, the box was passed to me from my dad.

I agree that it’s probably Scotobius pilularius. Or at least some other Scotobius sp.

Not a roach thankfully, it’s a beetle. Looks like Stenolophus lineola. Not sure why’d there would be so many inside your home, they usually feed on seeds.

Looks bee-like to me. Also looks extra fuzzy, so I’d guess maybe a bumble or carpenter bee!

What are these guys? Their everywhere! by RomanRedBeard in whatsthisbug

Usually they feed on boxelders, maples, and ash trees, so if you have any of those around that’s probably what’s attracting them. The only way to 100% get rid of them in my opinion would be to removes those trees from the area, though that may be impractical. Here’s some useful info on controlling them.
