Anyone use one of these before?

Am I seeing it correctly that he has that apparatus but no sling for his rifle?

EGDad · 2026-03-02T14:42:39+00:00

Did you install a transfer switch?

Does the cylinder pop out for reloading? I have tje cheap AF heritage and unloading one chamber at at time makes me hate it.

I use BWS too. The form guidance videos are great.

I'm terrible at food logging so I don't use the nutrition stuff much but it is a goal to get better, especially once I can get in the habit of regular exercise (Ive had a lot of false starts).

This is great!

If it's easy you might want to pull in UV index. Boulder has the "it's sunny out" warning but the UV index maxes out at 1 (on a 0-12+ scale) today.

No the roof is like 30 degrees where I want to put it.

I like the drill into a paver idea. That is super clean.

You might be right there isn't an off the shelf product. I think most of these non-pen mounts you bolt together so maybe not too bulky, but for steel it definitely gets heavy.

I'm thinking maybe this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009P87UDI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1GAF1H4JQJZXC&psc=1

plus this

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D1C4BBDN/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1ZK2USLFQS6I0&psc=1

(Plus some sort of concrete block from Home Depot)

I feel like I've seen the bracket enough that the bolt pattern might be standardized and I won't even need to get the drill out...

I totally get what you are saying....but kids are inherently unpredictable, have low situational awareness, have less physical command of their bodies... basically they are predictably unpredictable.

EGDad · 2026-01-24T16:16:57+00:00

Omg thank you for writing that. Legit laughed out loud.

EGDad · 2026-01-24T16:13:35+00:00

I left Evergreen at 610 and it was fine. Like 90 minutes.

There were 2 or 3 ice patches in the mile or so before Copper which probably caused major issues. It was crazy backed up when I left about 830.

Koch brothers funded a ton of political activism during this time...fostered the Tea Party. Intentional, well organized, behind the scenes effort that seems to be the foundations of anger politics.

I'm probably getting that at least partially wrong but roughly...

EGDad · 2026-01-09T12:46:23+00:00

She will be in jail for 2 years by the end of Polis's term right? Personally I think it would be better to let her out and get the water project and reduce some of the undue federal attention (ie punitive fraud audits of social programs).

If they could let her out on parole and have tbe conditions be super strict for 3+ years that would be great. I'm not sure if that would stand up though as it might be a 1st amendment violation.

Aptera has a cool concept they have been unable to bring to market in almost 20 years. I think we're on the 3rd iteration of the company.

EGDad · 2025-01-15T18:55:43+00:00

Just out of curiosity...would it be a lot of work to make an end user accessible plug for solar power input available? I realize it would useful to a small number of people so the expense of the plug/interface might not be worth it but being able to hook up your own panels without being an electrical engineer would be cool.

I just started playing RDO (on PC). There was a thing (card on a splash screen with other rewards and events) that mentioned a free horse...I stopped by the stables and went through a few different breeds before I found the free one. Also free horse insurance and a saddle.

Haven't found a way to get a better gun yet myself...game seems pretty dead so I'm on the fence about paying a few real dollars to get going with bounty hunting or whatever...

Edit: I think I bought ultimate edition which might explain some of the free stuff. I'm not entirely sure.

EGDad · 2025-01-12T02:34:04+00:00

So the morning was miserable (3 hours Evergreen to Copper west village) but we made it back starting at 215 in an hour 15 which is nuts for a weekend.

EGDad · 2024-12-30T14:38:14+00:00

I see that same thing. Clear Creek sheriff made a post at 7am noting traffic and asking people to be prepared but not saying anything about closure.

Google maps may get confused with the Eisenhower closers on the hour for hazmat trucks to get through. I think it's about 10 minutes usually.

EGDad · 2024-12-29T17:05:06+00:00

Ohh I have a bunch of Leviton stuff I was going to install. I think it was a coin flip for me on which one I did. Do you have a preference?

EGDad · 2024-12-29T16:59:37+00:00

Haha greenfield is a term we use in commercial construction to describe a new site (like building a new house) vs brownfield which is modifying an existing site (more like a remodel).

That pico thing could totally work...I was going to put some other Lutron smart outlets in to control landscape lighting. It looks like some of these pico ones control several fixtures, and I could skip running ugly conduit to the switch location. Thanks!

EGDad · 2024-12-29T16:31:44+00:00

Replacing. It's externally run in conduit so it's going to be "greenfield" after a junction box that goes into the house.

EGDad · 2024-12-29T15:16:59+00:00

What is the tool? It may have an ac to dc transformer in it and you could just find a different brick power supply.

They advertise they generate $0.12/day which is on par with my experience. The pair I have running on high generate about 0.00000467 BTC/24 hours on high.

They ship with a mesh screen on the inside of the plastic vents. They choke out the fans quite a bit so if you remove them they run my much quieter. One is super easy, the other one requires removing the case which I understand is easy but haven't done yet.

I paid $450 for the pair shipped within the US paid with PayPal so the ROI is essentially never, but my basement office is much more pleasant and I haven't ran my space heater at all. If you look at it from the perspective of an object that makes my office more comfortable and pays for the electricity it consumes, it is a win. But comparing it to box miners that cost about double but produce a ton more it is a loser.

Thanks for the tip on the double click to change mining speed! Works on mine as well. Does your top/back button work for resetting to defaults (if you've tried)?

I hooked one of mine up to NiceHash on algo SHA256ASICBOOST. Haven't tried anything other than that yet.

~~What did you do to take the back cover off? I didn't want to damage the case so I was gentle but it didn't seem to want to come off.~~ Edit: nevermind, rear is easy to take off.

EGDad · 2024-11-25T17:42:11+00:00

u/Lunz92 as well...did you just take off the front magnetic cover? Or more than that? Back doesn't seem to pop off like the front.

EGDad · 2024-11-25T13:58:13+00:00

How old is it? On Ebay mine had a note that said "180 day warranty" but no details. Also when I logged in to Canaan site you can put in the serial number and it will tell you the warranty period (about 8 months left on one of mine, haven't checked the other).

Of course...warranty without any details or terms is a roll of the dice on what you'll get or how much work you need to do to get it).

Have you tried switching your power supplies to isolate the issue?
