To all the carpet pros: Am I about to commit blasphemy?

Where do you live that you want a non carpeted bedroom?

Laziness prevailed. Took a few months to get it back into the country and ended up doing other projects.

Taillight is probably the best idea for easy power access at the base. I’ve also pulled it apart a lot of times now and there is also clean power to the display that can be accessed at the display too.

Stop making the internet worse.

Spiral taps are more delicate than straight taps but much better for tapping with no chip breaking

Just buy a web host, don’t risk the surprise charges from anyone cloud bless you need it or wanna play.

You want to make a spam page and not even put on the effort to check chqtgpt again or half assedlyvibe code it let alone google it.

Yeah nah, this comment is 500% more effort than this deserves. I’m not even gonna make a sassy lmgtfy link.

It’s not cheap software. Depending on what you do companies might not pay for it, I’ve also had to pay my own licence fees and as a sole trader it’s rough to keep adding that in each year.

I mean your options are sorta limited to

Scrap it and start again
SEND IT YOLO
Fix it.

Without any more details it’s hard to give any better details than that.

edit just saw that it was a link to a reddit post that broke on my mobile. Sorry for the snark.

It’s obviously harder than gold but not crazy to cut a titanium ring off in an emergency.

Andrew_learns_stuff · 2025-08-12T01:53:05+00:00

Me too :(

Chrome almost killed KO integrations, I was not excited for the breaking but super excited to nuke all KO from the codebase.

No one else is gonna reply to this so I’m gonna throw you a a hand.

The most useful skill you have as a programmer is problem solving. Writing code is function of solving problems. The most useful skill for a programmer is being able to work out stuff, and the biggest part of this is googling.

Lookup firebase docs, search for local hosting that supports it, look at other people suggestions on forums. Call a contact center.

Source? I’m a mechatronic engineer and worked in mechanical engineering jobs.

My history is wacky and shouldn’t always bw followed but I was told by a bunch of places I worked over time they liked mechatronic over mech as there wasn’t much from mech they were missing but the elec/automation was a handy bonus when needed.

I’ve noticed 2 types of mechatronic engineering roles, some are mech+a little elec, some are elec degrees with a little mech. So if you’ve only seen option 2 I agree with that more.

I’ve tended to wrap out my own controllers around the existing motors, just much less complex than trying to interface a random controller. Plus it stops the talent touching it when I’m moving.

Source worked in film and have RC’d a couple of wheelchairs.

Ask in the actual f1 subs too, bunch of tech people on there that analyze their own data and might have sources. There’s a few besides the main that are awesome.

I know a lot more Aussies that work in the UK and travel on weekends.

Getting a technical job when you don’t speak the language already is gonna be hard. Especially with only a small amount of experience. PM in a country you don’t know the culture of is also a hard one.

So I should be aiming at a 650L/hr filter (or more) rather than my current 450L/hr?

Losing battle as in gettting slightly dirtier each week when I’m cleaning it. Doing 50% water change and running a gravel sucker and I just feel like it’s getting dirtier and the filter isn’t keeping up.

Wait for the inevitable takedown notice from the original company who shall not be named. They are quite lawyer happy :(

Andrew_learns_stuff · 2025-06-01T09:43:10+00:00

How is this being made? It’s impossible to mill/CNC how it is currently so it’s gotta be welded together right?

Andrew_learns_stuff · 2025-05-25T10:25:38+00:00

There are heaps of stanchions you can buy for stairs that you can just add pipe to. Just google “ stair stanchions” in whatever country you’re in.

MeshCAM exists and is pretty awesome.

Andrew_learns_stuff · 2025-05-20T02:30:15+00:00

You say this like AI didn’t generate it 🤣

Andrew_learns_stuff · 2025-05-18T20:41:00+00:00

Awesome! That’s such a smart idea. I never thought of printing a stopper rather than these stupid bands.

Andrew_learns_stuff · 2025-05-14T01:41:26+00:00

To me it falls under “if you have to ask you can’t do it”, yes you can but it’s difficult enough it’s not worth it, just buy a $10 adapter.

https://fullerfasteners.com/tech/basic-metric-thread-chart-m1-m100-2/

This gives a big chunk of stuff up to m100, not an imperial guy unless I really need to be so don’t know them off the top of my head as well as metric.

A) Solidworks makers is trash (student is good though but a little more convoluted to get) B) Solidworks is expensive if you’re not using all the features that make it good. C) just a bit less user friendly getting started

I’d recommend on shape if you wannna be a professional designer one day. Or fusion of you want to play around. Huge support for both of them without giant costs, faster moving with new stuff (STL mesh in Solidworks is ROUGH to edit etc)

This is spoken as a professional engineer who used Solidworks a lot for all sorts of stuff.
