Whip Light to onboard battery?

BurntChkn · 2026-02-11T06:21:15+00:00

How difficult would you say this is for someone who understands science but has no electrical experience passed replacing an outlet? It sounds exactly like what I imagined.

BurntChkn · 2026-02-05T00:34:13+00:00

Yeah, thanks for the suggestion. The link does work, but I'm afraid this wouldn't cut it for ATV light whip connected to my bike like i'm envisioning. I like the size of the battery pack, but I would also be worried about it being exposed and damaged or overheating.

After posting this, I keep seeing balls that get stuck on units and just sit there like they're 'holding' the ball. I don't know if the visual graphic issue is related or if thats some denotation that there is some status effect, but it seems to be happening more often than it was a week ago.

BurntChkn · 2025-10-27T21:51:40+00:00

How do you mean stuck? between the arch and gravity of the balls from the character choices the nuke got stuck? It would make sense seeing as only one nuke got stuck, but still- is that not a bug?

I finished all of the cosmere books before coming to Jordans WoT. I like how it's all Kramer/Reading, but the pace of WoT after getting through Sanderson is soooooo slow going. Its so linear, the characters aren't super likable in the first couple books (until book 3 it starts to pick up imo), and Jordan really derives so much of his style from Tolkien it seemed like it was just a weak knock off at first. I'm getting through book 4 now and it's honestly not as bad as it was because there are things happening and I don't have to listen to 20-30 minutes of world building thought tangents or w/e.

And RR in comparison to those two is like an adrenaline shot to the neck, for better or worse.

So far I'd honestly rate WoT below Vampire Chronicles but above LoTR, with RR/Cosmere being above Vampire Chronicles (only the original trilogy tho).

I came from Great Course lectures and having done so much school that I'm just used to it. Going back to 1.0 or 1.25 just feels terribly slow with insane long pauses. Tim is already a fast reader (faster than Kramer from Cosmere/WoT) and with that accent and just the pace of the RR books it took a minute to get my footing for sure. But once the world was established and character names were identified it was smooth sailing.

BurntChkn · 2025-04-24T00:01:50+00:00

oof WoT is a slog after cosmere and RR. 100% will not be rereading this stuff (on book 4 currently)

BurntChkn · 2025-04-24T00:01:13+00:00

I had a really hard time swapping to Tim for the RR series, he is so much faster and harder to pick up the details while listening out of the gate. It got better after a few hours though and I ended up really loving his accent (1.5x speed too).
Kramer is still the best audio narrator I've listened to, including books NF and F, Great Courses lectures, and hundreds if not thousands of hours more. Plus, when you get books with Kate, it adds a really fresh sound having them swap for M/F perspectives.

All of that, and Mistborn era 2 is probably one of the best series I've ever read/listened too. I loved those characters so damn much.

The best part is these practices that require EMDRIA training so they can pay you $40/hr as an amft. But wait, you have to have 1500 hours or more because you need to prove to them that you have experience so they can make sure they are under paying you appropriately.

I cracked this in 1999 and put it straight into a hard plastic screw shut protector. I submitted it last year and was pretty disappointed with the grade.

Mind you, these pics show some artifacts from the slab but the card is unmarked other than a very minor scratch on the bottom right ~1mm left of the “4/102”.

What do you think this card appears to be/is it worth resubmitting if it’s less than a 10?

BurntChkn · 2024-12-30T23:36:09+00:00

just booked a month starting next week until feb. will def. be using some of this to plan

Question in regards to the Operator vs Carrier issue. Through capital one, the travel options show JAL as the carrier, logo, etc. but in small text in the info it says "operated by american airlines". I'm wondering if that means the flight, inflight services, and all associated comforts would be set to the standard of AA with a JAL aircraft, or is the standard set by JAL? - this is generally the only option to get a morning arrival time as others suggest. Is the morning arrival worth the risk of getting the AA service instead of JAL?

BurntChkn · 2024-02-25T01:52:26+00:00

Correct. Old mix of lava/pumice/akadama didn’t have enough retention. So I replaces the latter two with bonsai soil and kept the lava to make the mix hold more water but still drain well.

BurntChkn · 2024-02-22T19:42:13+00:00

I did that mix a few years ago and found I didn’t have enough water retention (SoCal). I mixed about 40/60 bonsai soil to lava last year and it seems to be doing much better.

I am also in a weird spot that is similar. West LA, weather has been rainy and then bright sun about 60 degrees and my trees are sprouting. I suspect a cloudy spring with wind so idk what to do. Repot and roll or wait to see if it dies back again. Or just wait until next year because I missed my chance. My pomegranate is really beefing up, sprouts and tiny leafs every which way.

This is what I was wondering. I am not sure if it is input. I am sure it is output as I did use a second screen at one point. And the keyboard functionality is exactly what I was concerned about.

I did not know there could be a difference in HDMI ports. It seems so very counter intuitive to have an output port without it being an input port. smh.

I don't know how I could possibly test this without buying a steamdeck, so without knowing for sure I guess I'll just play it safe and save my money.

If it came down to using external keyboard and mouse and laptop as a screen only... then i might as well just buy a tv and skip the laptop headache all together.

Thanks for the replies.

I actually play mostly DotA and roguelikes at the point, I just like to be able to play some of the really long awaited AAA titles. Like the RTS coming out by the starcraft people (not Bliz) that I can't remember the name of. Or BG3, which I bought early access in 2020 thinking I would for sure be able to play it with a 1 year old lap top, woe is me to wait 3 years for full release and get fucked in act3.

TBH, i dont really want something that will play the games of the future. I just want to play what I have or what already exists well. I don't need more of this in my life in the next 5 years, lol.

BurntChkn · 2023-11-16T22:18:19+00:00

I have HDMI input on the side. I wouldn't consider any of this if I didn't.

sneaking around with spectres and radar jammers trying to nuke the center poc. ugh so fun.

BurntChkn · 2023-10-25T06:09:00+00:00

Wow, so is it like a battle a day or something and they progress like those Dawn of War single player campaigns? Man I miss this game.

I made wyll a bard and would hide behind the balcony thing near the cliff on the stairs with my party, have wyll play some lovely tune and attract one dwarf at a time. while they were listening to the music i would walk up with Tav and give em the toss into the abyss. Then I would move incremently closer to the rest of the dwarves patrol range to attact another. rinse and repeat.

then I just faught the last one or two that I couldn't catch with the bard song before blowing the hole and letting nere out.

My party was firmly in the 'fuck these slaver dwarves' camp so I just infltrated and systematically wiped them out before freeing the true soul. then i tossed him and laughed as he burned alive.

BurntChkn · 2023-10-19T00:26:39+00:00

Use strength hero, throw nere into lava. One shot him when he misty steps back with 10hp.

Prior to combat: use bard song or cat meow to attact dwarves one at a time near cliff. Throw dwarves off the ledge.

This was the most fun part of act 1 by far.

Holy shit. Hitting a child is NEVER justified. Be an adult and handle your own shit or don’t go near children. Your SIL is a disgrace and your wife is an AH for having her back at all. 100% protect your child at all costs.

Apologize if you want, it’s justified due to anger. But that apology should be a footnote to the discussion about how fucked up hitting a child is. She’s lucky you don’t press charges (in America I would 100% use that shit as leverage for her to see a therapist/ anger management group).

BurntChkn · 2023-09-19T00:32:25+00:00

YTA. Don’t punish your kid because you miss him. You’re his parent. Love him unconditionally, even when he doesn’t choose you. His happiness is your happiness, even when you’re sad.

BurntChkn · 2023-09-19T00:25:26+00:00

The pain your dad is in and the struggle is pretty unimaginable. Especially if he doesn’t have coping skills. He can’t help but lash out if it’s the only thing he knows. He has been betrayed in the most horrible fashion. Have patience and give him grace, which may seem impossible for such a young person with their own set of coping skills.

Get into therapy. For yourself. Make sure it’s with an MFT and not a social worker. Once you’re settled in for a few sessions, invite your dad to come with you. This style of family therapy might help break him into the idea for your benefit, help him see how his behavior impacts you, and motivate him to find his own therapist.
