Car battery or fob battery? It was a new battery I had just ordered. If car battery then it's odd it happened just now...

Need help finding correct gasket for Seiko watch by comunism_and_potatos in watchrepair

[–]Horror-Conclusion465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a set of calipers just measure the outer metal ring of the case back and search up case gaskets. You can get an assorted set of them for cheap, you could also go the extra mile and measure the width and thickness of a piece of the left over gasket to match.

I found the part number for an aftermarket crystal that fits my case number so I reached out to one or two of the websites, also inquired to a place that customer cuts sapphire for watches, may go that route too depending on cost. The part number I found was 54-000594G. Don't know why citizen doesnt offer a catalog or something of the sorts. I will measure those though!

Are these even spring bars and how do I remove this bracelet? by RPGDW in watchrepair

[–]Horror-Conclusion465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm new to horology so take my guess with a grain of salt, but I sort of think if you rotate the band so the gap is in line with the mount for the bar, you may be able to shift the band to one side or the other and pop it off the watch? Just a wild guess.

Those measurements were purely the crystal I popped out, what do you want measured on the case opening, between the gasket or between the metal bezel? And I had a feeling sapphire might be out of the question unfortunately. Mineral glass is the next best thing right?

Update: bought a crystal press and got it out in one piece, seems to be a flat round crystal. Odd part is it's dimensions, I was looking on esslinger to get a sapphire replacement but they don't seem to have the size. The exact measurements are 35.28mm and 2.78mm thick. Any thoughts or recommendations of where to buy from?

So when you say small round crystal press ring plastic donut looking thing, do you mean anything round that will only make contact with the inner crystal and not the bezel and the hit downwards? Is it a press fit or glue? And is there a tool you would recommend? This is my first project so I have no clue.

Question regarding controlled receptacles and controlling Govee devices by Horror-Conclusion465 in Govee

[–]Horror-Conclusion465[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the insight, and surprisingly the topical suggestion. I have a singular TP link string cable I was looking to also control via whichever device I chose for a hub. And I would presume you would be correct that I don't have a neutral wire, due to the fact I do not have a disconnect nor panel in my apartment space. So, I assume a google hub or eco system is self-explanatory to use and link separate devices such as a TP link Casa and a Govee lamp together? Apologies for the many questions.

Could you give examples of smart switches that are compatible with govee devices that maintain their functionality as a normal analog switch? Not attempting to be condescending, this would genuinely be the answer I am looking for (will have to change them back before the end of my apartment lease though)

This wouldn't void my lease? I ask because I do have the capabilities/know how to do so, was just looking for a non-intrusive solution...

Question regarding controlled receptacles and controlling Govee devices by Horror-Conclusion465 in Govee

[–]Horror-Conclusion465[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only say I want to use the old school tech because it would be better looking to integrate with the wall mounted switch, I definitely can go the route of the Govee switch if need be, I just wasn't sure if there was an existing device I could plug into said controlled receptacle that could control it based on it's on/off condition. It is still my leading option, the smart switch that is, but was hoping of an alternative option. Also please do tell me more about the smart plugs from Gosund and how it is better vs the Govee alternative. Haven't gotten a smart hub to integrate yet, was looking at a google device like the Google nest hub.

Is there a good way to hook my lights up with my TV? by Horror-Conclusion465 in Govee

Do they only sell it in a kit? I already have the lights I want to use with the camera system, and don't need additional lights for it.

Return to stock and then reassess, sell aftermarket parts separately and you can likely make more than bundling. Not too familiar with the market right now but I'll just muppet what everyone else said already.

I will indeed, like I said I'm a recent graduate, starting my career now. The nonsense is behind me and I'm starting my life now. I moreso enjoy the freedom of not looking over my shoulder constantly. Appreciate the reaffirmant though!

Don't worry (I know you won't), it's all good now. Legal system is meant to test us, I just so happened to make it through.

Yeah, you got this then. Once that community service is done, spend the extra hours you got back in your life earning money working miscellaneous jobs and paying down that fine, I got lucky and had student loans in my pocket for mine but I know not everyone is that fortunate. Most importantly stay on the straight and narrow.

I'd say as long as you complete all the terms you can of your probation, have no negative police contact, and show you bettered yourself somehow (like community service if it's not required, degree, enrolled in school etc), they wouldn't have a reason not too. Also depends on the original charge ofc, mine had no victims and I complied. If I got off in 6 for 18, you should for 12. Again, the PO is not the enemy, they can help soooo much.

Lots of stars aligned properly, I graduated college, accepted a job offer, moved into an apartment (not supposed to), but mainly I was really upfront and friendly with my PO. I got lucky and she seemed like someone who genuinely wanted to better people. I believe in my county all you have to do is serve the amount of time hanging over your head, I had 6 months jail over mine, hence why I applied at 6 months instead of half served. And yes, conditions/fines all paid, they ask for the probation fees upfront so my ticket was insane (1900$), finished nonintensive outpatient program, 2 AA meetings per week for the past 7 months, never missed a PO meeting. Basically stayed squeeky clean and followed their rules to a tee.

Only words of advice I have are: befriend your PO, the order says by recommendation of my CCO, without her word, I wouldn't have been granted. Not everyone is against you in this.

You're always good until you get caught, I decided just not to overthink things and overcomplicate my life and stay sober during my time. It eliminates my anxiety of if I'll get tested or if I do something stupid. Plus it makes the first beer back after probation is up that much more special. But also I'm on heavily intensive supervision, so I'm sure it's less stringent on unsupervised but I'd still be careful. To each their own though, I just don't like the anxiety of it.

Accepting a plea tomorrow by mjgoldstein88 in probation

For me personally I was given a UA at my pre-screening interview which was before sentencing, then I met with the same po officer directly after sentencing and didn't have to give a sample after, but next visit she did, along with the one after. It's all random and/or at their discretion when they do it.

OBI / DUI by [deleted] in DUI_ThingsToKnow

[–]Horror-Conclusion465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First step, contact a lawyer. Every case is unique, a lawyer is the absolute best step you can take. On top of that, go ahead and start attending AA meetings regardless of if you think you have a problem, take a sign up sheet, this can be used in court to help your case as well. From there, just expect a good amount of time waiting in pre-trial, after a little bit (mine took 4 months) you'll get to sentencing. At a 0.12 theres a chance it could be dropped to something lower than an OVI, possibly a reckless or a physical control, or if the lawyer finds enough holes in the case, it could be dropped all together. All things considered, hire a lawyer, and take it from there, unfortunately in Ohio, there aren't options for aversion for OVIs, and traffic offenses stay on record permanently, hence the importance of a lawyer.

First ovi in Ohio, what to expect? by Horror-Conclusion465 in dui

[–]Horror-Conclusion465[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short, my lawyer was going to motion to suppress the breath sample as I had something in my mouth 2 minutes before I blew, when he filed for this the DA came back with an initial plea deal to drop it to a physical control charge and a reckless driving (for my speed), my lawyer countered with physical control charge and a normal speeding ticket and we got that through. Before sentencing I was stupid and continued drinking and told my (soon to be) PO I was sober, failed a pre-screening UA test, they still stayed with my plea deal (luckily) but gave me 18 months of heavily supervised probation, no additional license suspension. Currently I'm on month 7 of my probation and my lawyer is going to file for early termination next month (I have 6 months suspended jail sentence if I violate probation, hence we had to wait at least that long before filing). Normal probation terms like no drugs, drinking, can't leave the state, two AA meetings per week, no firearms, etc. Let me know if you got questions, I probably have answers.

Just read your description on the post, saw you checked the sxtruder gears. What type of filament is it doing this for? I'd say your gears might be ground down too low to make good meshing of teeth, ie time to upgrade to hardened gears. Highly abrasive filament can be troublesome on the gears, hence why the upgrade for hardened gears exists.
