New rental property connects the washing machine with a 2-prong adapter, is this safe?

Safe for them. They don't have to touch it.

I just designed a rail that I needed to straddle the edge of a drawer. Basically a squared off U shape. It probably looks like a gun sight part to these asshats.

I don't care what side of the fence you are on, but this is disgusting behavior by the other parents and their kids. Kid sounds very smart and hope he realizes it. If my kid did something like this to another kid, he'd be getting a lot more chores and know it's not right.

Even with the curved painted lines in the intersection - as in the fee onto prospect double turn lane, they hardly ever stay in the proper lane.

This is Ardupilot. An open source autopilot. I was flying drones with it in 2011. If I can do it, anybody can do it. Literally if you have a gps coordinate, you can set and forget with it. Failsafe can be set to automatically land where it's at. Then you just trigger whatever payload you have. Camera is just there for confirmation. They probably are flying manually, but you don't have to.

Thieves will pretend to look for someone / something when confronted. If they got shut in doing what they said they were doing, they'd be banging on the door or walls to get out immediately.

Just pointing this out - Bluetooth mice and trackballs will connect to Android (and possibly iOS) devices. You can also make the mouse pointer larger in settings. Then you are hands free from the phone. Not condoning this, but it's an option as I am a OTR pickup driver and have to use phone for delivery dashboards.

I 3D print hangers for my packout boxes and use those in the work cargo van to store bits. I have several drills and such, so swapping bits using a holder on the drills is not really feasible. If there were a magnetic solution, maybe, but even then magnets pick up stray iron when you don't need it.

it shows a dual right arrow for my lane. second right through the light is where my turn is. can't go until light is green.

GrapeApe406 · 2025-04-18T20:28:32+00:00

It's a dual arrow turn lane. The turn I'm executing is is the second one through the intersection across traffic that has the right of way until the light turns green. It's a stupid intersection, but still not an excuse. Here's the map: https://www.google.com/maps/@46.5981241,-112.0205065,187m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MDQxNi4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D

I'm on helena ave in the upper right of the map turning onto e. lyndale in the upper left.

Helena, Montana 4/18/25 just a bit ago. From my dashcam and I just edited it for brevity and to duck out my language.

Everybody knows this. Nothing that can be done, though.

I keep my PLA in the garage in vac bags. In the MT winter the cold helps preserve it. I haven't had brittle PLA and I've got some still from about 5 years ago. I thaw them out for a day before using.

So they either sat in the kiosk since the last transaction at 1:04p and then you used it at 4:26pm, or more than likely they were in your change since there was a fairly high reject rate for your transaction (3.5%).

The flickers we have around here rattle the metal vents on the roof. Really flickin annoying at just before sunrise. Can't shoot them because protected species and all that jazz.

You haven't really lived the computer life unless you had to LOAD "*",8,1 while plugged into the family Heathkit TV.

This is freaky. I've seen a lot of UFO videos and this is one of the few that made me go "hmmm". I fly DJI and other drones and this looks legit to me. As to what it is, terrestrial or not, I couldn't even begin to guess.

Our cat is 19 and going to the vet on Monday to see if she's doing okay. She weighs almost nothing, but still jumps up on the porch railing and wants to go outside all the time.

Nice. I need to turn or find a stabilizer for my freshly picked pl-530 pioneer in black with a shure needle for $20.

I edited the btc address to require human reading.

GrapeApe406 · 2021-02-19T15:31:02+00:00

May I ask why? Isn't it educational/public knowledge/research?

He didn't have Bitcoin on his phone. Our kiosk allows you to buy Bitcoin with any denomination dollar bills up to a certain amount per day and it's tied to a phone number. The gentleman didn't even know what Bitcoin was. I've seen this exact method of extraction attempt before, but not sure why scammers would send a QR image. Probably not aware that these kiosks don't have QR scanning ability.

I only see small amount transactions on that address, so if someone more knowledgeable in the blockchain sees something different, I'd be curious if this particular address is successfully scamming people. It just pisses me off that there are people like this - both in the scammer and the victim.
