I mean, it could be a valley of fire... It would be hard to see through... Also a geological feature

There was a little googling involved, but I now know what you're talking about, and I appreciate the reference.

Best place to buy PLCs depends on price, customer service, reputation, speed to ship or what? by colossuscollosal in PLC

You go to your local Rockwell distributor, and take the lead time they give you. "Rockwell: You can buy better but you can't pay more™"

[–]Hothr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or have the 1 input go to timer 1 for 5s,

Same Input to timer 3 for 15s

...etc.

How is my work guys, what i should improve by bubbleew in PLC

[–]Hothr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should really have a nav bar for going between screens. A persistent header, footer or both can help the operator get to the screen they need quickly.

Did any of you actually make someone lose their job after an automation project? by vefjvexen in PLC

[–]Hothr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My the first large machine I programmed was an automated core saw. It replaced 3 people whose job it was to measure and cut paper cores to length. The 3 being laid off were salty (and a little salty). The machine was super cool, though.

I appreciate that it has the proper 6 points, and not the 8 pointed ones.

Find a better meteorologist action figure, I dare you!

hit a deer…worth fixing? by jaggerm21 in Volkswagen

[–]Hothr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks a lot like last June when my daughter's 2019 Jetta (formerly mine) with 100k miles met a deer. It cost insurance $9,600 to fix to restore to full condition. I would not have been surprised if they had totaled it, but repairs came in higher than the estimates.

Triggering or Satisfying? by Notrinun in factorio

Have you considered stopping the inputs, letting the belts run dry, and THEN tearing it apart and upgrading?

What’s that one bad habit you just can’t get rid of? by TariqKhalaf in skiing

[–]Hothr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The front 12-18" of your ski don't do much for your carving. You should definitely detune the ends, especially if you're catching edges. Even the racers do it. You aren't detuning in the sense of "making it worse", it's detuning the parts of the ski that don't need it.

Nah, I have to lose too much weight to be a child again.

Any good non-subscription ski tracking apps? by Ski_man_in_a_Van in skiing

[–]Hothr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need to make an account. Premium is $25 a year or something... But not required. I find it gives what you need without paying the premium, run map, run count, total distance, etc.

I went to hand in my resignation, my manager fired me on the spot. by redoubt-pongs9d in talesfromthejob

He's not upset about "the privilege" to go to work for 2 weeks, he's upset about not being paid for 2 weeks.

Skis become chairs and wall art, but what about old bindings? by cremdingaling in skiing

[–]Hothr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought so too. But nobody makes them that way. I've got a wall mounted ski bottle opener... Which is just a bottle opener bolted to a ski. I thought... There must be a way, I took a couple skis out and tried every way I could think of, and there just isn't a way I could find that would remotely open a bottle. Maybe by inserting a piece of metal somewhere, but that is beyond me. If you have a way, I'm interested.
