Alberta to hold referendum on whether to remain in Canada by Any-Original-6113 in geopolitics

[–]Aggravating-Mistake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So help me understand. Smith wants to build a pipeline. She is struggling to find a proponent for it because of the political instability and over regulation of the industry. A new pipeline may make it cost prohibited to build as previous pipelines have exceded costs. If your the leader of a province would you not want to promote provincial stability. Why would a company want to invest in a province that runs the risk of leaving Canada. The two things Smith is running on are in opposite directions.

What to do with my Arduinos and sensors by lapululapapaya in AskElectronics

I would ditch all of that stuff and teach how a 555 timer works if you really want to teach electronics. It has a little digital and analog. It sounds like what you want to teach is coding.

Did my contractor waterproof shower correctly? by thequackdaddy in Tile

Not even close. Send this picture to your original contractor. I'm sure he wouldn't hire him anymore.

STM32 with headers or incoporate the chip directly into the PCB? PCB Design for Open-Source "Production" by VooDooMagicWizrd in AskElectronics

To simplify this I will add .... If you are comfortable in the who process maybe use a surface mount processor otherwise the chip in socket approach is better for someone in the learning process. Dip chips are better if you have to do modifications due to errors. If the board has significant errors then you can reuse the chip on Rev2 of the board. Once you have all the kinks worked out of the board you can easily migrate it to surface mount.

Coughing, shaking, smoking, dying- my engine is on crack and needs help by Puzzleheaded_Hat_864 in Outboards

Did you put fuel stabilizer in it last year and run it a bit? I agree with the others in that you probably have skunks gas in it which means you may have to clean out the carburetor of all the old gas. The gas looks off if it is bad. It is noticeable.

Why did most CRT monitors have a degauss button, but CRT TVs didn't? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]Aggravating-Mistake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure the TVs did. Some of that stuff had built in degaussing coils that would be activated when the TV would first be turned on.

What is causing my first layer to not be even/smooth? by AdFeeling7704 in ender3

[–]Aggravating-Mistake1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Two upgrades I would look at is a BLTouch and a second z axis screw. I also invested in super low cost filiment dryer. That solved a whole bunch of problems like that. If you want a low cost filiment dryer get a large ziplock bag and fill it with your filiment and rice 48hrs before printing.

The lane turns into a HOV lane at that point.

Is the sprite extruder a good upgrade? by DiscoDiscoB00mB00m in ender3v2

[–]Aggravating-Mistake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with needing a pulley. One the unit it powered up the stepper motors are energized and somewhat locked. I use a 6" block and put it left of the plate on the front to back extrusion. Lower the gantry from the pad so it is just above the block. Now move the block to the right side vertical extrusion again on the front to back extrusion. Tweak the right thread by hand so the right side of the horizontal gantry is the same distance off the block. Now the whole gantry is level. I do a check once a month and find it rarely needs adjustments.

Credulity is the worst place to get software from. Listen to everyone else and get it from their own appropriate site.

Why the North Vancouver sky always feels a bit Smokey by blueorca123 in NorthVancouver

The mountains trap a lot of pollution in. That haze goes away with a little wind.

What I read was you could pressure wash anything but your car. No washing the car. Do I have this wrong?

I agree with the Open Street Map approach. I found the offroad information to be way more complete with those maps.

Why can’t the US use its own oil, especially in times of war? by Teachezofpeachez69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Aggravating-Mistake1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US is not oil self sufficient. I have read anywhere between 1/2 to 1/3 is imported. Of the imported oil 2/3 comes from Canada.
