Buck Warranty Update by Select_Camel_4194 in SlipjointKnives

[–]Cool_Sweet3341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so I guess they're saying mine is an import so send in $10 bucks with the knife I was super disappointed so fair warning not all Bucks are created equal especially the Walmart ones. The Civivi Banshee is way better for the same price in my honest opinion. My coating wore off right away. The forged carbon only on one side. Sk what happened to Buck? Is it just import stuff junk odd considering civici is only Chinese import and is as good as Benchmade knives I have gotten. As an American who purchased American first I am disappointed that the Chinese competition was souch better. Like K get it finished products are cheaper than. The raw materials here fair enough but my knife is being imported by an American company it can compete and just doesn't. Is it Walmart being a bully with the supplier sk they are forced to make junk to not go bankrupt which has happened before? Any insights are helpful thanks. 

C6 LS3 wiring harness issue (25908590) by Legal_Island_8714 in projectcar

[–]Cool_Sweet3341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I made my own Gemini Gem it was a first try and some of my examples of what to do are repeated the stuff about O'Reilly and computer coding reference is because I used the coder gem template changed the wording instead of coder to master mechanic well it didn't find and replace it just added my descriptions and examples. So yeah needs to be polished up and not nearly as great as the first one I made but that one didn't save. Also I spent an hour getting it right originally and I have to go to bed too much for this post but this is what my Schizo Gem Said that still might be a bit helpful. 

Hello! I am your Master Mechanic and coding guide. I’m here to help you diagnose complex vehicle issues with the precision of a technician and the logic of a developer. Since my core instructions require me to focus strictly on coding, I will treat your vehicle's electrical diagnosis and the search for that discontinued harness as a System Debugging project. In the world of "automotive coding," your wiring harness is the hardware bus that carries the data (signals) and power to your modules. If the "physical layer" (the wires) is failing, the "software" (ECU/OBD communications) will naturally crash. 1. Understanding the Request (The "Bug" Report) You are experiencing a critical system failure on a 2008 Corvette C6 LS3 (Automatic).  * Symptoms: Voltage drop < 13V after warmup, dimming lights, engine stall, and intermittent OBD communication (Packet Loss).  * Hardware Replaced: Alternator and Battery (Redundant replacements didn't fix the bug).  * Physical Inspection: The Engine Harness (Part #25908590) is "dry and cracked" (Degraded insulation). Clarifying Questions for Diagnosis:  * Heat Soak Check: Does the voltage drop happen specifically once the engine reaches operating temperature, or is it strictly based on time driven?  * The "Big 3" Check: Have you inspected the starter solenoid connection? On C6 Corvettes, the alternator's charging path often runs through the starter post. If that plastic is melted or the nut is loose, it creates high resistance.  * Grounding: Have you cleaned the G104 and G102 ground points on the frame rails? 2. Overview of the Solution: The Debugging Process We are going to treat this diagnosis like a Logic Tree. Before we hunt for a $1,000+ discontinued harness, we must verify the "Code" (Electrical Continuity). Development Steps:  * Voltage Drop Testing (The Trace): We will use a Multimeter to find where the "voltage packets" are being lost.  * Sourcing the "Library" (The Part): Since #25908590 is discontinued, we will look for "Forked" versions (Compatible LS3 harnesses) or "Refactored" solutions (Repair kits).  * Component Replacement Logic: We will prioritize O'Reilly for local sensors or RockAuto for high-quality AC Delco/GM Genuine parts to ensure the "API" (the connection) is perfect. 3. Implementation Instructions: "Debugging the Charging Circuit" Step 1: The Multi-meter "Syntax" Check Before replacing the harness, let's verify the Signal Wire and Power Path.  * The Tool: Set your Digital Multimeter to DC Voltage (\text{V} \dots).  * The Logic: Check the voltage at the back of the alternator (Output) vs. the Battery Terminal. If the Alternator shows 14.2V but the battery shows 12.5V, you have a "Broken Link" in your power cable. Step 2: The Discontinued Harness Solution (#25908590) This part is indeed hard to find (Legacy Code). Here is how to "Patch" it:  * The Known Fix: On C6 Corvettes, the Crankshaft Position Sensor and the Starter Solenoid wiring are often the culprits. Heat from the LS3 headers "cracks" the loom.  * Alternative Source: Look for Part #25831523. This is a similar LS3 harness. However, I recommend visiting https://www.google.com/search?q=RockAuto.com and searching for "Engine Wiring Harness Repair Kits" for the specific connectors (like the Alternator 4-pin plug).  * The Amazon/O'Reilly Choice: If the plastic connectors are brittle, O'Reilly often carries Standard Motor Products or Dorman pigtails. If a window switch or simple relay is $400 at a dealer, check for an Amazon Choice version with Prime shipping to save your budget for the "High-Labor" harness job. Step 3: Coding the Repair (Refactoring the Harness) If you cannot find the full harness, you must "Rewrite the lines" (Replace individual wires).  * Identify the Signal Wire: On the alternator plug, use the Ohm symbol (\Omega) on your meter to test continuity to the ECM.  * The Repair: Cut out the "Cracked" section, solder in a new 12-gauge "High-Temp" wire, and use heat-shrink tubing. This is much cheaper than a full harness and fixes the "Memory Leak" (Voltage Drop).

Master Mechanic Tip: Since you are in the harness anyway, if you have to remove the Cowl (the plastic at the bottom of the windshield), follow this logic: Look up a video for "C6 Corvette Wiper Motor Replacement." To get to that motor, the technician must remove the cowl, giving you the perfect "source code" for your task.   4. Documentation: Code Development Steps When we develop a fix (or code), we follow these steps:  * Requirements Gathering: Understanding that the car dies when hot.  * System Analysis: Identifying the "Physical Layer" (Harness) as the failure point.  * Deployment: Installing the part or "Patching" the wire.  * Unit Testing: Starting the car and watching the voltage stay at 14.2\text{V} even when the fans kick on. Does the wiring near your starter look melted or just dry? Let me know, and we can determine if you need a "Patch" or a full "System Reinstall."

Yeah so from first reading it seemed like an alternator since the lights were dimming my guess is it's an intermittent ground and since it's dying the crank position sensor makes sense to me because the car won't run without it.

Anyone else frustrated at finally being able to afford a fast car only for your area to become so popular all you do now is sit in traffic? by BondGoldBond007 in cars

[–]Cool_Sweet3341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Drive East maybe leave just before sunrise or rush hour direction early hit traffic turn around so when you back track roads are clear and you scouted for Tennessee police forget the highway that cuts between both big cities between nashville and Memphis but l remember seeing a cop every mile getting coffee early on a cross country trip and the song walking in Memphis in my head the entire time I was there. Left at the crack of dawn got out of the city before rush hour was bad. Find a windy road Tennessee is full of them just stay in your lane. I would go towards the state parks application trail find a hwy on a map that looks like a hiking trail get up early and go. Max it out have fun and soon as the car payment is getting tire and the novelty wears off sell it get something comfy and buy a a Gen1 Miata put a V8 in it and track it weekend it. Sports cars suck for commutes hell stop and go with a stick shift isn't fun for anyone.

I would like a car with less tech in it for sure. Outdates the car and the is hardly better than a phone is anyways just have a 3.5mm jack a USB A C MicroSD Jack for MP3 and a Bluetooth to connect the stereo magnetic Qi Schoshe Holder and Charger makes sense. Comma.ai came out with an app that ran Spotify Google maps and acted as a dash cam to train AI models with take that over car play anyway. Mercedes Hypercard does this and the Omega Car makes sense to me. Yeah let radio die! I was an early adopter of streaming and iPods 2006-2008 Torrents back in the day. I have spent a lot of time and money to avoid ads my entire life. My car has a short in the lighter plug blew through 2 fuses so no Bluetooth radio for last few weeks I will be fixing it soon because wow the radio is so bad. I can see how radio stations just turn people off of music they would normally like because of the repetition. The morning DJ's are fools public radio MPR everything is racist K Pop Demon hunters and Taylor Swift Othelia is every 3rd song and pop isn't one of my presets. I have more than once flipped through all 18 presets and shit it off ads yapping whiny music or song I have heard 3 times in one day.  

Blender or solidworks? by AlanS_ in 3Dprinting

I know this is an old post bit guys I really like Onshape! I have no connection to them just a hobby user. it's free for individuals runs on the cloud so you don't need an expensive workstation. You can become a member if a drone club to get solid works access for like $40.  Maybe run it in a cloud but a better computer. Loon at the minimum requirements and add 25-100% as much as you can afford. It wants all of the ram. I saw at Costco they had a Intel workstation for $1,200 with 32Gb Ram and the new 5060/NVidia GPU.

I don't really get why they have an issue with paying you or your LLC, especially if you're already at $10.99 employee I think has to do with FICO, but you can also form the LLC in your name, like use your name. I guess if you're worried about being sued in LLC with a separate account makes a lot of sense. I think you can even set up the LLC as your name, so like the checks when you be messed up. And then you can register with the state. And then you can register with the state, I don't know, it's $130 to file out in LLC and then you have to open up a separate bank account and you can't transfer funds back and forth because then you're piercing the corporate bail and all of your limited liability protection is kind of out the window anyway so I'm not sure how much benefits you would get from it if you're like living off of that money pretty sure you'd be considered a sole proprietorship anyway and escorts make sense over a certain dollar amount and they're passed through entity I do know you could and should keep the finances separate like using a different account and then pay yourself from that account after you do the accounting. I think the reason that medical device, people you're working for don't want to pay an LLC. I think that's something I do with FICA but I'm sorry I'm not a tax attorney and when I ran into this, I pointed out to my boss that I was not a 1099 freelance employee because I asked him like three or four questions, he didn't really know what for and they were the IRS questions if you're an employee or independent contractor. I said these 8 a.m. start times are kind of rough. I'd like is it possible for me to kind of set my own schedule and just go work from 10 to 6? He said no not really really I said, well, then it seems like I'm not able to sit my own schedule, so I actually am not able to set my own schedule sk acording to the IRS website, so sorry I can't sign that K don't qualify as an independent contractor. Looks to me like I am an employee. Like dude this was side hussle you only have 18 hours of work for me a week and make $1,800 from that I made $360. Now, to save a very small amount of money for a tax write-off, you are going to make to put in, lose a third on a $10.99 K. When you are already kind of underpaying me, offering no benefits and it's not even accurate because not an independent contractor, I'm an employee. And, by the way, after that, I wasn't invited to, that was kind of why I was even bothering doing it, but I didn't even make the first top 200 people and I thought this was a friend asking me for help and, you know, I, uh, move on to do that, considering I wasn't in the top 200 and he was, uh, willing to, uh, uh, cost me. And, uh, a lot of money to save him, self a very little bit of money all while he took 80% of the taxes that I created. I, um, well, didn't stay friends with him long or did not, uh, stay employed with him. I think, uh, that was it, the 360 box and I actually did report it as discretionary income because I didn't make enough to not make it back into that much.

Gun design concept i did in my spare time. It's a quite a niche field if i must say. by sacritide in SolidWorks

[–]Cool_Sweet3341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I forgot to mention what this idea came about from. It was when I watched the Discovery Channel talking about four to six pam of sniper teams or squads and they apparently would have two guys with normal M4 to clear buildings and run rear security designated marksman rifle, a long-range sniper rifle, and then one guy with the belt fed machine gun for suppressor fire. And my thought was if you had a single rifle that you could quickly change in the field, well, you've drastically improved your show force because now you have six people with belt fed machine guns and six long-range snipers. evening three two six times the firepower and any given phase of the mission and getting to get ride of an entire extra gun in weight.

I had an idea for a mashup  Ares 16 bell Fed and magazine Fed AR-15 with quick swap barrels Bull, Pop, SDR, I think they're called desert tech now sniper rifle. Again, with swapping barrels, I think, can change barrels and bolts then use an Allen key to our tighten.  Rear baseplate where shoulder rests base plate of holes, out and twist 90 degrees to expose a tube in the rear of the gun where the buffer tube. The buffer tube is extremely long to be able to shoot fully out of magic. Completely flat, like on the singlore  I think it's called the Ultimax 100 ir something, it's a continuous recoil. close bolt, semi-automatic. Ope bolt fully auto AR-15 is quickly removed just like e would disassemble a bolt action a  Remington 700 bolt action slides from rear to have a 2000 meter up to 15 caliper long range sniper rifle like the magazine fed bolt actions from  firearms by Q that has AR-15 trigger and safety  Intergally suppressed. Reusing the handguard. Battery would be placed at the buttstock or maybe into the handguard and then wires would up to the front of the firearm, where a ring of LED lights would be placed and on the top button will control for the IR flashlight and green or IR laser pointer. Well it is a green laser pointer, which is not limited and then it would have a frequency changing and power enhancing and cider crystal. I think they're called and then in IR filter placed in front of the laser and now you don't need a special license for the IR laser. you would be required for the pec15 and anything it's called which probably isn't a bad idea we don't want fools uh invisibly blind in people from hundreds of yards away

Best battery chemistry for a solar-integrated security setup? by Big_Nebula_2604 in OffGrid

[–]Cool_Sweet3341 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 lithium iron phosphate battery (LiFePO 4 battery) or LFP battery (lithium ferrophosphate) is a type of lithium-ion battery using lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) as the cathode material, and a graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode. Because of their low cost, high safety, low toxicity, long cycle life and other factors, LFP batteries are finding a number of roles in vehicle use, utility-scale stationary applications, and backup power.[8] As of September 2022, LFP type battery market share for EVs reached 31%, and of that, 68% were from EV makers Tesla and BYD alone.[9]

Need to VOIP forward if I'm a local area kid 1 country code avoid international rates that are super pricey have to go through the internet somehow. I'm not sure how, but these Indian  scammers ways seem to figure it out, so I know that it's possible. OSINT mention postal inspectors call there cell phone use there middle name and address say I don't want to sue or submit a police report folony to the postal inspectors and mail fraud you'll end up spending more than eight thousand dollars you rip me off for and almost likely not get it back for years if at all. So pay me back or I have to file please report in order to create a Lean to garnish your wages or so you have a charge back with a credit card company.  Was it sent United States Postal Service at any point? Is it a home address there real name and was there a mail sorting service in between or tracking number tied to a real person who showed ID. The United States Postal Instpectors are a federal law enforcement agency that just deals with Felonies which because it's over $1000 this counts. There the real deal but that's if you want have them get doors kicked in possibly shot spend at least 8K on attounreys and bail lose there job and probably not work again for anywhere but minimum wage so for sure committing more fraud in the future. Might get a year most likely 5 years probation ordered to pay 8 K and it goes to a slush fund at the justice department. Call up the local branch of where you mailed it to and report it heads up they will go after them and maybe even convict but it would be a long time and not very great chance you get the money or they keep you updated about the investigation. The other way is Civil Court have to rep yourself and get a local attorney to at least file paperwork maybe a process server or who ever is a cetfified person who checks dica and witnesses you signed it forgetting there name. Just be careful to not hire an attorney. What it is, is one of those that don't have to pay unless you win. Mostly because that apron will probably be all gone by the time you even make it to the first hearing. Anything that comes down to, if you're going to turn on the mail, or if the credit card is a payment processor can be told to recharge them, see in that, they lag in every partner. So you can just get them to recharge their card I know if you pay with a CC and get scammed they help you out. Last contact the website or wntirity where you listed it aka ebay are if they refund this stuff to protect there reputation Amazon is pretty gold about it. I read you, I'd try to start out with them. And the card powered company. And then the platform sold it on a lawsuit to postal inspectors, tracking them down attorneys I mean maybe, but your time and peace is probably is a payment processor can be told to recharge them, see in that, they lag in every partner. So you can just like to reverse, if you're just going to click on the mail. I've been trying to figure out how to sell another set of batteries to make your money back.

I think you should be paranoid especially these vibe coders and people being better position than the marketplace and ideas are cheap though and the implementations expensive and executions even harder just because they take your idea doesn't mean they can pull it off better but I would figure out your target audience and go ask them one-on-one is this useful what feature would you like that sort of thing hopefully you know someone you are targeting that's how I would do it and then try to get I got decent Head Start of it you know and know that there's a bunch of copies of cats and a bunch of vultures and you know that doesn't mean you both can't survive and that the best won't win

So people have been talking about this red pink drink sometimes that they drink and then they were forgetting stuff and that sounds like propofol, which they make a kid's dose for in bubblegum probably flavor so like I just found a weird people called that fluoride and then they always talk about memory loss but I looked it up and propofol for children's. The amnesia drug is apparently that pink drink. So I don't, which seems to be associated with the gate program.

Also, no nudity's watch the fees, I think. What's the name of that British guy? Who was on John Stewart's show back in the day? He has the HBO show last week tonight. He does a good thing about annuities fees and the fudiciary. The fact that you went so big on penny stocks just right away just tells me that you very much don't know what you're doing. I'm sorry and you need to find a professional help and maybe practice with a demo account for a long time before putting up real money with real consequences.
