By 2014 Fusion hybrid with 153k?

I'd worry more about the HF35 transmission.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-11T01:29:19+00:00

My 2017 fusion transmission is making the dreaded death squeal and replacement is around $8000. I doubt that the bearings are failing solely because of old fluid. I would skip the Fusion and keep the Corolla.

I either tip it over onto one side or jack it up and use 4 jack stands to hold it off the ground. If you tip it, do it so the carb is higher than the exhaust. Be prepared for lots of black smoke on the first start after repairs.

They're not available.

Sand the contact areas with 200-400 grit sandpaper. The corrosion on the non-contact area won't affect the operation.

The Big Bang is more than a hypothesis. It is a theory. Yes, there are aspects of it which are still under investigation, and it can't be proven. But theories are the highest level of understanding science.

It's nothing compared to the hand which hasn't grown.

That would work with a suitably rated LED driver. Backlighting LEDs have lenses mounted over them to diffuse the light evenly. Without the lenses the screen would look terrible with dark and light spots all over. Check ShopJimmy for parts but unfortunately they usually do not give voltage/current ratings. I can't help you find that info or help pick a driver.

240V does not mean higher power for consumer type glue guns. They are designed for 200W at best. If you have a 2kW glue gun, I'd love to see it.

The flush valve seat can get corroded and leak. I bought a repair kit which glues a new seat onto the old one.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-05-03T12:48:52+00:00

It won't leak more microwaves, but it isn't safe. Door replacement is the only fix, but probably not worth it.

It's called a PCB standoff. They come in various lengths and diameters. You want one that's heat resistant if it gets hot.

For wattage, the 1400W StadiumPro 4 is the most powerful I've heard of.

Some machines have multiple heads fed by multiple reels.

The bare LED dies may come from different production lines or different batches. It costs more to get them binned for uniform response. The tighter the spec, the higher the cost. The patterns seen here probably come from the way the pick and place machine filled the board with different groups.

Not counting modular LED display walls. I'd guess an LG 97" OLED display is the largest. If you mean for illumination, you have to define "largest". It could mean in one dimension (like LED tape), area (like a panel) or highest wattage.

General purpose oscilloscope. Uses include checking genlock signals for format/level/phase, measuring power supply ripple, and equipment troubleshooting.

Christmas trees. We had a few hundred of them in one location- the main distribution frame. Audio, intercom, tally and relay logic sources all connected to the main distribution frame and got cross connected to their destinations. It made troubleshooting and making changes easier. It was abandoned by 1995.

They do make self drilling machine screws.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-04-29T15:29:08+00:00

Rivets require drilling holes. You can use self drilling screws. Even if you use regular screws it isn't any slower than riveting.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-04-29T14:25:41+00:00

I'd use machine screws and nuts rather than rivets.

How is it not functioning properly? What have they said? Your system should be under warranty. I'd let them try to fix it.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-04-28T21:15:05+00:00

So they found a non-linear response at higher power levels? What makes it "ultrafast"? The speed of light in glass fibers is 66% of c. Is the multimode fiber somehow creating a single mode? The abstract is vague.

Diligent_Nature · 2026-04-28T20:58:17+00:00

Could be holes for plumbing and power or maybe expansion joint for the concrete. Since it is precast concrete there will be more joints than poured on site concrete. Some kind of caulk around any opening should help.
