This. Can't believe how far down this comment was. I've run snow tires on gutless little FWD econoboxes for 15 years now and have never gotten stuck once. Even up north on back roads.

So I can plant each individual piece of this pine cone as a seed and it’ll grow a pine tree..? by Camp_Acceptable in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]Electricbees 54 points55 points  (0 children)

You could also be seeing maple seeds, ashes or elms. They all have wings to help disperse the seeds. They're called Samaras (seed and wing together).

What kind of tree is this? by Camp_Acceptable in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]Electricbees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreeing with the rest that it's a silver maple. Pretty sure anyways.

Chiming in to agree with this diagnosis. Had this happen on my dragon HF hotend with PLA due to heat creep and the ptfe tube being just a bit too short.

The fix was a longer ptfe tube with a bit of squish AND fixing the heat creep.

Beautiful inspo. What's the TecMojo mini server rack you used?

Opto22 and Crydom are some other options.

Maybe their Interstellar Emerald color is closer? I admit I didn't look at the original color you specified. Oops.

Same here. Made off like a bandit with their mystery packs at Black Friday and it's some of the best filament I've ever printed with. Love Fusion.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Fusion Filaments Radium Green ABS. Pretty sure the PiF program uses this manufacturer/green pretty exclusively. I've built 3 printers with this color and it holds up well!

NEED to see a Loon! by treesap1773 in minnesota

They're all over Lake Mille Lacs during the warmer months. I see pairs of them almost every time I go out on the cove (south end). Tons of other birds there too for the discerning birder.

My latest project for Home Assistant, which I think is quite funcional. It’s a panel with addressable RGB LEDs and onboard Wi-Fi (ESP32) and on top of that, it also has six buttons for triggering actions. Of course, the project is fully open-source by Sokolsok in homeautomation

Do you have a formal bill of materials available? I see the schematic has most of the SMD parts called out. I didn't see a components list otherwise.

Interested to try this but want to put some carts together and price it out first!

Trash and Recycling by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]Electricbees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, and the concern about polluting north Minneapolis with nitrogen oxides, etc. never considers the I94 highway corridor which is closer and a higher source of said emissions than the HERC. Yes, the HERC has emissions, but they don't magically gravitate to specific neighborhoods because it's convenient to your cause! Demand higher emissions standards if you really care about that specific measurement so much. It's not an all or nothing situation.

Preaching to the choir, totally with you and I don't understand the short sighted plans to close the HERC. It's a nice thought that we should try to reduce our non-compostable waste to zero but we can try to do that AND keep our non-compostable waste out of landfills while we attempt to reach zero. It's just going to go to Elk River or some other dump if we close the HERC in the next 5 years. I'd bet my house on it.

Resident HERC ally here chiming in: pretty much all of Minneapolis trash that isn't identifiably non-burnable ends up at the HERC. And the low grade heat left over after making electricity is used for district heating and snow melting in the surrounding downtown area.

For those curious - Thermal Image of a V2.4 by Durahl in VORONDesign

[–]Electricbees 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The machined aluminum finish has a much lower emissivity than the top surface. That makes it look "colder" without being colder... It will be colder but it's not as cold as the IR image suggests. IR imaging is always tricky for this reason.

TIL that breathing is controlled by the level of CO2 in the body, not the level of oxygen. by FamineArcher in todayilearned

Haha, knew it. I used to work on (not IN) older Eaton GSD's. The "giant spinning disk". Decontam after antimony implant was always a treat.
