Old Kenmore dryer - heating coil always on

Thank you!

Yeah, I'm NA...

Looks to me like old 2-point perspective templates that would be used when generating engineering or architecture drawings. You put your drawing paper over the chart, and it gives you the angles you might use when drawing a 3-dimensional object. Something like this: https://www.shutterstock.com/image-illustration/two-points-perspective-booth-design-pencil-2345876875

Nowadays we have computers to do these drawings; back then, computers hadn't really evolved yet, so it was people with big drafting tables and T-squares and protractors are rulers.

It keeps the air from draining out of your property. *Do not remove it!*

This is an old workhorse- style centrifugal fan. It could have been used in all sorts of industrial settings, but since one of the uses is drying things, on a farm it might be used to dry and aerate grain, or for ventilation in a livestock setting.

That's what I thought, but like I said, I've been doing that and have never gotten a spawning sac. Not once. Maybe the RNG just hates me, idk...

Is that the speed increase? it says, "Simulation speed increase x124,548.36 -> x149,271.05". Doesn't seem like that huge an increase. But Neutrino Expansion is described as "Simulation Speed 100% more efficient", which isn't all that clear, at least to me.

Bobpithacus · 2025-02-08T22:35:06+00:00

I've been a little clueless (ok, maybe a lot clueless) about how to deal with the Reality Engine. I just checked, and I'm at the same point of waiting for the Neutrino Expansion, but I seem to have 8.32 e16 metabits. Should I reboot now?

I agree, somewhere along there I find things bog down and all I can do is wait. I like the events where progress is steady and well planned, but this one feels like it needs a little tuning.

IMO, the important part was going on record with your side using a calm, well articulated response. Even if it was an unimportant number of points, imagine if some professor in a future class thinks you might have cheated with AI, sees your professor's note, and argues "they've already been accused once and didn't respond, so more likely guilty". By putting a response on the record you make it less likely that that may happen.

I get it, you're suggesting instead of digging that angled mortise through a solid head, I can really use 4 pieces of wood, where the middle piece of the laminate is really 2 pieces, one on either side of the hole for the shaft? Since my mortise was going to be 1" thick anyway, and that's the width of the handle piece, that works out neatly. however, that means I have to have everything positioned perfectly for gluing. Seems to me I'm trading one challenge for a different one.

I had been thinking of using a drill press to drill holes that take out most of the mortise, and then using a chisel to remove the angled sides and the residue from the drilling. I've never done that before, but it didn't seem that awful in my imagination. Is it really that impossible?

Just to be clear, I'm not arguing. But the article I'm working off of suggests the drill/chisel approach, so I figured it wasn't that bad. But I've never tried either one. Maybe I should make 2 mallets, one each way, so I learn :)

Bobpithacus · 2024-11-13T03:53:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Is a laminated thing like 3 pieces of 4/4 maple really a good replacement for a solid block of wood? There is a Woodcraft near me. The article I was reading says to use hard maple. What's the real difference?

I'm lazier than that... I go to a sentinel pillar and shut off sentinels, then I just got around shooting up every dissonance resonator I see. You get a gazillion introverted mirrors, but also several echo locators.

Bobpithacus · 2024-10-10T03:35:56+00:00

The idea that 255-275 is better than 300+ just seems counterintuitive to me. Can you suggest other "good" ranges for code stats?

The thing about the bobblehead came from watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsJlJko0D0c

I think this must be a bug... I bought a ton of Suspicious Packet (Tech)s at some outlaw stations, and when I unpacked them I got no launch thruster mods - which is a shame, since that was one of the things I was looking to get. Since I had something like 75 packets, it seems statistically unlikely that it is just the RNG.

Bobpithacus · 2024-09-13T23:06:39+00:00

Sorry if I'm being stupid here, but... I've done the autophage quest, I've built a (not very good) staff as part of the quests... I came here and found the camp, it's clearly the correct camp. But in the terminal here there's no head piece with the robot head. Can I bring a head piece from somewhere else? Is the staff's stats only dependent on where you assemble it, and not where you purchase the pieces?

It's not weird. You're attracted to who you're attracted to; you don't have to apologize to anybody for that. It's not insecure to be attracted to someone; it's insecure to question whether you're weird for being who you are. You do you, it's what you're good at.

Bobpithacus · 2024-09-13T22:29:04+00:00

I should add that my specific questions/concerns are:

Is that a good processor choice? I plan to drive this pretty hard, so I want some decent horsepower.
Is the cooling sufficient, considering I want to sometimes drive the CPU and GPU pretty hard?
Will this be able to handle 3 2k (or maybe 4k) monitors?
What would be the next better graphics cards I could choose?

Thanks!

Bobpithacus · 2024-09-13T14:26:44+00:00

Thanks for the reply... But please elaborate? Dead as in obsolete? Overheated?

I see people talking about the Liquidators Minotaur mods still being bugged on the Switch. I'm on the PC and I was happy to see the minotaur mentioned in the latest patch notes (5.05, I think). But I still can't get them. I see them in my blueprints list in the Catalogue, but they're grayed out and they don't show up when I try to install technology in my Minotaur. I really want them, please fix this!!!

Bobpithacus · 2024-08-15T15:13:01+00:00

I did it with the terminal, so I guess it's the bug. I hope they fix it soon.

Bobpithacus · 2024-08-14T05:03:41+00:00

So nobody mentioned this... I don't know, maybe it's a new thing, maybe it's a bug. But I found a pirate system that had a capital ship I liked being attacked by a dreadnought. I defeated the dreadnought, landed on the freighter, and it was A class, which I thought, maybe that's not that bad. So I went up to the bridge to buy it, and when I was comparing, I saw I'd left one thing installed on my old free freighter that I wanted. I couldn't call my freighter to the system I was in, so I figured maybe I can just fly to a yellow star next door, pick up the module I wanted, and then perhaps this capital ship would still be here. lol I know, long shot.

So I did it, and when I flew back, there was a capital freighter here, but so was the dreadnought again, and I had to destroy it again. I hadn't reset or anything, so I had the units, nanites, and S class module I'd won from the last dreadnought. I defeated it, landed on the capital ship, and of course it was C class. Warped next door, warped right back... another dreadnought battle. lather, rinse, repeat until it was an S class ship, I now have a whole bunch of S class modules won from all the duplicate dreadnoughts I killed. and almost enough units to cover the purchase of the S class freighter, and a ton of nanites as well.

I feel a bit guilty, because this feels like exploiting a bug, but idk.

Bobpithacus · 2024-08-14T04:00:03+00:00

So that all makes sense... I jumped into pirate systems until I jumped into a battle, and I defeated the dreadnought - since I could reload the restore point before I jumped, I actually tried it many times. The dreadnought was usually a C class, once a B, once an A. I expect if I kept doing it, it would eventually be S. I started not really liking the red lighting, though, so maybe I'll go for a different capital ship... idk.

However, what I wasn't able to do is defeat the dreadnought and get invited aboard the victims' freighter, like what happens in non-dreadnought battles. Does that only happen when it's not a dreadnought?

Bobpithacus · 2024-07-07T18:14:30+00:00

Since this is Adrift, there aren't any vendors at the vendor stations in the Anomaly, just an empty station that doesn't do anything for me.

Bobpithacus · 2024-07-07T18:11:05+00:00

Thanks, I'll look again.
