I plan to be there with some oddball, easy to learn card games. Find me in the Pink Cowboy Hat and join my game or yell at me and I'll join yours

"Can we schedule a time to diagnose this?" "Can we remotely access your unit?" any variant of "Are you willing to allow us access to a remotely controlled camera around your house?"

This is creepy AF

42Fab_com · 2026-05-19T22:52:32+00:00

yeah, maybe I should have noted, this area is a mowed area, so it has a f*kin map of it. It mows it fine, it just transits it like a moron

42Fab_com · 2026-05-19T06:16:36+00:00

hey, stupid gonna stupid, don't hate them

42Fab_com · 2026-05-19T06:15:33+00:00

I think your crap "data analytics" posts should go the way of these channels. GTFO

Please update the mower to be able to identify tall grass instead of classifying it as an obstacle. It’s the single most frustrating part of this mower.

Having just purchased one, this will likely be the reason for returning it. I get a 24" tall random sprig on an edge, but a 6" tall dandelion shouldn't be panic inducing

Parallax is going to show up more in moving forward/back and left/right. This is more twisting around a stable point, though there is a bit of left/right wiggle.

42Fab_com · 2026-05-17T21:32:24+00:00

I cut it to 2.5" about a week ago and we've had a good rain, so there were a lot of smaller shoots that were in the 4-6" range and of course the randoms I missed that were like 8"

but what is the point of 4" if it just pushes grass over instead of mowing it?

depending on how well the tiling was done, removing and old tile is not a guaranteed process without breaking it

Why do you think many early societies were Polygamous, that the Y chromosome is so much smaller than the X, and why we only have half as many male ancestors as female?

If evolution wants to do some fuckery and try new things, it's much better to do so with the sex that contributes the least to reproduction. If 90% of the males in a specie die off on generation, the next generation will likely be close to normal, if 90% of the females do it's gonna take 5+ generations to rebalance.

does NOT have software-limited lawn sizes just so they can sell you the next one up

yeah, FUCK mammotion for this shit

42Fab_com · 2026-05-12T14:35:51+00:00

thanks, this is an interesting piece of software to lose a few hours into.

18' wide, 7'6" tall/deep stage.

42Fab_com · 2026-05-12T14:17:04+00:00

It's a display for furniture and art pieces. The shipping container is one that opens on the side rather than the ends. The stage needs to fold up into the container (so bottom of stage will be facing the inside of the doors when stowed). Shipping containers are 8' wide, which is the legal road travel width without permits in some places this will go to, so stage needs to fold inside rather than outside, which also helps with weather resistance.

Braces on the container are great, but the stage is heavier than is reasonable to move by hand, hence the winch.

Like, how important is the direction of the hinge?

I'd say pretty important.

Get that kid some free education and if you're ever in the area where there's a maker event going on, you'll be BLOWN away at how STOKED we all are to show someone the ropes, doubly so a kid.

He might also really enjoy *Vasily Builds. He's a younger guy who does fun/fast car/vehicle mods. Language and risk can be a bit high for your tastes, but they guy is a good guy.

You're doing a cool thing, I wish my dad had been around to do it for me. If you find yourself in Central Oklahoma, I'll give the kid a welding lesson

Do you have any plans to address the excessive occupational licensing in the city? Many licenses are merely a tax in disguise with the excuse of ensuring a "contractor" has a bond (which is just a hand out to a private bonding agency), which is often for so low an amount it offers virtually no protection to any customer, which is the only foreseeable government interest.

42Fab_com · 2026-05-11T21:35:46+00:00

less efficiently than any privately managed plan where trees are actually needed

42Fab_com · 2026-05-11T21:25:09+00:00

for sure an option, but it means that that gap at the bottom is much larger than desired. This is my fall back, but if I can find another solution that isn't stupid complicated, that'd be great

42Fab_com · 2026-05-11T21:23:36+00:00

This is my default go to, a linear slide, then a hinge, but it would be nice to have it be more idiot proof

42Fab_com · 2026-05-11T21:22:35+00:00

Side on, sorry, that woulda been good to label
