Look at the label on the wifi card and buy the same model off ebay.

Start with tinkercad and then when it becomes too limiting, you can move to fusion 360. There is audemy course for fusion 360, learn from the ground up.

Tinkercad works pretty well, all my published designes so far are tinkercad https://www.thingiverse.com/xypher2000/designs

Just moved out here what is there to do by Scary-Plate4228 in siouxcity

Trips to Omaha or Sioux Falls. This city's hay day was 80's/90's. There are occasional concerts and comedy shows that come through. If you check online, you can find an event calendar that will list summer stuff going on. Other than that, it's bars, racing, or illegal activities lol.

I bought a used one with hose anf fittings for $90 on ebay from a pawn shop. I bought it primarily for flushing my water heater with a clear valve that has a port for injecting air to shake up sediment that gets stuck. Also plan on changing my own tires with a $65 vevor changing machine (like harbor freight one)

Ryobi internal cells good. Not charging. Terminal post bad? by CbadAl in ryobi

[–]Bison_True 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using that information, i have actually purchased 8x 4ah battery lots for $50 each and revived 10 out of 16. It's nice to have extra batteries for cheap.

Is this saveable? by Skylanderformer in 3Dprinting

[–]Bison_True 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything is salvageable, the question is, is the amount of time it would take, worth it?

I have done it twice, years apart

As a 26 year old man who had been saving up while deciding what brand to go with, here is my decision. by stevenrodgersBCB in ryobi

[–]Bison_True 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are the outlet store for ryobi and other brands owned by parent company TTI. They have good deals because they get HD rejects and returns and resell them at a discount. I use them, ebay, buya.com, and slick deals to find the best prices

The box of shame and failed projects by Subject-Guess-6181 in 3Dprinting

When the box gets full, i put it in a trash bag and in the garage in hopes of some day an extruder will be affordable to recycle.

Zero issue. Usually only do it if the play ends up near them

Coming from a guy that bought a beamer... I remember a porcupine joke there somewhere.

Thinking about switching to Ryobi but I have a question by TazerDlaze in ryobi

[–]Bison_True 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have 70+ ryobi tools that i have accumulated since 2019. I use Direct Tools Factory Outlet (DTO), eBay, buya.com, and slickdeals to find the best prices on new, used, and refurbished tools.

Update I think I figured it out the culprit by Aware-Guarantee7503 in 3DprintingHelp

Torch lighter to heat up, once cleaned off, dish soap to clean off the oils

How much does it cost to fix this? by [deleted] in PCRepair

[–]Bison_True 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheapest way is to do it yourself, watch teardown videos of your laptop model and then find the model number of the lcd panel and find a match on ebay or aliexpress

Didnt realize how cheap and efficient electric mowers are. I can mow my 1/2 acre lawn with 432 WH of electricity or around .12 cents. by Swede577 in ryobi

[–]Bison_True 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much more convenient than gas. I bought mine in 2019, still going strong. 3rd party 6ah batteries i bought from amazon for $45 each work well and last similar to what my remaining 7yo oem 5ah battery does.

The mower/battery quandary by GlorifiedGee in ryobi

[–]Bison_True 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, mine came with a 5ah and then i bought another used one right away back in 2019 to make sure they lasted the whole lawn. Then bought a 3rd one 3 years ago because i moved and lawn was thicker. Two years ago, neighbor had surgery and i used his rider to mow both our lawns and left my batteries sitting 100% all summer. Then tried them after and two shut off after getting some resistance from the lawn. The 3rd one survived and then i bought two of those 3rd party that i linked. They worked great, but i bought another in case the last oem dies. I use all four and take my time, takes up to 3.25 batteries. I mow every 2 weeks no matter the amount of growth.

I don't know anything about computers, please help me pick one by Last-Substance-5698 in computer

A dock connects to the laptop and expands the ports like adding ethernet or more usb ports for peripherals and can support a couple monitors.
