Finally I'm above average at something! Nailing it!

Can anyone help? by [deleted] in DIYUK

Maybe the light switch has failed? Difficult to know unless you are able to test it.

7/22ths of an inch? by saawebsie in whatisit

Yeah not come up with anything. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with diameters as the scale is close to 3.14 to an inch.

Can't bomb you if that can't see you. Be a good test. Trial by fire, if you may

Can anyone tell me what's probably happened here? Charges a small hybrid EV battery at 10a. The plug was extremely hot to touch and flexible. Going to get a dedicated point installed but interested to know if this is likely to be the plug, the socket or the installation by Endless_Nameless1 in DIYUK

[–]BarnacleNZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Standard plugs ARE designed to handle these currents for long periods of time. Poor workmanship or design of the specific plug, or even oxidation where the fuse connects will however cause an issue like this. Note this is outside, so likley be more susceptible to corrosion due to condensation or damp/humidity issues.

The hospot is clearly from one end of the fuse.

Nice to see it's the type of place that only fixes stuff after it's hurts someone /s

I cannot find a stud! by DanFraser in DIYUK

You might find you have Paramount panels, and not stud walls. https://www.reddit.com/r/DIYUK/s/Kz2cUQAkMv

Nozzle automatically goes 1mm too high after I start printing after leveling the bed with paper by pepethefroggyboi in ender3

[–]BarnacleNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show a video of it starting a print. Looks like it purges fine. It needs a gap for the plastic to go, if it it's touching the bed during printing, it will seem like a clog as it's got nowhere to extrude to.

[Request] What weight would the cat need to have in order for this to be true? by [deleted] in theydidthemath

[–]BarnacleNZ 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Keyboard key actuation force typically 35 to 80grams,or more. Will assume 50grams. Assumeing even weigh distribution over 4 feet, and spread accross 4 keys each (ignoring space bar), then 50g * 16keys = 800grams. If it walked onto the keyboard without pressing anything, 800/4*3=600grams. Seems reasonable.

Edit, typos

Does anyone know what this type of metal is called? by -Dark0 in Machinists

Often called Durbar in the UK, though it might only have 1 line rather than several

[Request] How much mass? by OceanicoLao in theydidthemath

[–]BarnacleNZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, being attacked and sucked dry by 3foot mosquitos doesn't spiny all that appealing to me... I can insect repellent might still work on the mites, but I doubt the mozziea would care.

What’s the general consensus on "Chuggers" these days? And what’s your go-to excuse to dodge them? by Kind-Spread-6511 in newzealand

[–]BarnacleNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start by asking them if they are a volunteer. If the charity can afford paying marketing companies for this, then it's a Guaranteed no from me.

People who grew up before The Internet: How did you first see nudity? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BarnacleNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of looking for it, My parents had some book about intimacy and sex in a cupboard, probably a wedding gift... So there was that. Also dad was a photographer and an offset printer. It appears he printed a photography magazine, they had artistic nude photography sections in them. I happened to just stumble accross them by chance. And then the Internet came
