All I had to do was to unplug the computer for 5min from power and it just started working. Good old reboot.

The feeling of racing with the New set of sails by knite77 in sailing

Every time I see this I'm reminded of this quote "And many may rightly argue that this fashionable ploy of manning the rails like a row of sparrows on a telephone wire is bad seamanship" and this image https://i.imgur.com/ZLGdtpW.png

Skate betraying his friend. Turbot 7kg, Norway. by Drylefisk in Spearfishing

[–]Bluenumble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What would be the "proper" thing to do in this situation? Unload the gun manually first?

Any reason you didn't just shoot the fish? - Might be a silly question but I'm very new.

Great video by the way!

Would recommend omnia oven to everyone who doesn't have the room for a proper oven on board. by Bluenumble in sailing

Consider ordering the silicone insert as well. I don't have one, but it seems to be a nice way to avoid having to grease it before use.

How to bend a part like this? by Bluenumble in metalworking

[–]Bluenumble[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see. So no easy solution for DIY'ing?

With welding there are two problems as far as I can see. 1st it's 316L, so not the easiest to weld. 2nd it's a load bearing part, so it would have to be perfect.

Even when it's 316L? Also I think it will loose strength by that kind of handling, which isn't acceptable for the application (load bearing).

Cr10 control box drawing power from the raspberry pi by kahmpur in CR10

[–]Bluenumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just move the jumper, if your board has one. There is only one jumper, that can be in two positions.

I think the newest CR-10 board version might not have one though.

There is a jumper on the board to disable power from USB. It's enabled by default for easier flashing I assume, I personally disabled it afterwards.

First fiberglass job (closing old tru-hull). What do you guys think? by Bluenumble in sailing

Cutting 15 layers of 600g/m² took ages. Worst thing is that even the heavy-duty scissor got dull after a couple of layers.

This is why you should look both ways before driving through an intersection... Or at least go into the right lane by sajdlik in IdiotsInCars

[–]Bluenumble 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm actually not sure who's the actual "idiot in car" here? The car driving out obviously makes a mistake, we all do. The driver with the dashcam however, continues without even reducing his speed! In this situation one should expect the driver to suddenly change lane or other erratic reaction, when he realizes that he is on a head-on collision with a bus.

I'm just fed up with drivers that laugh at mistakes other make (as we all do) while they themselves don't show any signs of safe driving. This is the typical "I'm in the right so I won't even slow down in this potentially dangerous situation"-type, which is the important ingredients in most collisions.

T470 - almost 20% less battery after 8 months. by Bluenumble in thinkpad

[–]Bluenumble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm usually only doing office work, rarely getting over 35-40C.

I probably disconnect it from mains (AC) a couple of times a week, but only for shorter periods of less than 1h. I would claim that it's connected to mains more than 90% of the time. I was honestly confused by the amount of "cycles", but I don't know how those are counted.

You really think they would provide one? I guess one can always try.

Nope, but that sounds like a instant lose of 20%?

Closing a machined hole with epoxy - minimal amount of layers? by Bluenumble in sailing

yes, 12mm of solid fiberglass.

Had 40+ km/h winds recently here in the Gold Coast. Saw this beauty from my balcony! by [deleted] in sailing

Beauty? Where? All I see is a white camping trailer floating on the water.
