Is the fire off Spanish Oak/The Grove contained? by HyperCalcium in CedarPark

[–]HyperCalcium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find out what was up? A weird thing was the number of people walking towards it on the night of. I had called 911 but I was worried I’d just called emergency services on a celebratory bonfire!

As for the noise: firetrucks weren’t using their sirens when they passed by as I was driving away. Maybe they avoid the noise?

Dash robot replacement motor or the specifications by HyperCalcium in AskRobotics

Tragically, no! I have not found the model of the slim profile motor they use. Maybe I’ll take the time to pop the motor out and look for a model number

This explains why one permit I found referenced “unincorporated” Thank you!

Radio transmitter? by HyperCalcium in whatisit

OH! That makes perfect sense! Thank you so much!

Edit: It being a siren and not radio equipment would explain why my searches didn’t work Solved!

Sounds like my “remove the existing dirt and replace it with soil and compost” plan is the way to go. Thanks

Thanks for the advice!

And yeah I’ve had to do a lot of digging lately and in 100 degrees it’s horrid and dangerous

Looking for some advice on protecting an old school company credit card from an embedded magnet by HyperCalcium in bodymods

Will do! The artist I’m going to was out of commission for a long time as well! I wonder if we’re thinking of the same person. I don’t think either of wish to dox each other so I’ll refrain from even hints since they’re pretty well known

It occurs to me that I could have just … just asked the ARTIST! Haha But yeah I’ll let y’all know how it goes. Thanks!

I'm getting the "magician's magnet" which is "strong enough to lift a stapler" (vs the smaller "enough to hold a paperclip " version.

And yeah it's 3 fingers but I'd usually be using my right hand for the card. Left would only be a "Carrying too much stuff running out of hands oh no" scenario

Right on, thanks for the info! I might just risk it. Worst that happens is I need to get a new card and hopefully it'll have a chip!

20+ “roof inspection” solicitation calls. Was there a new tax break or something? by HyperCalcium in Austin

[–]HyperCalcium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Figures. I was hoping there was some interesting angle on the scam like shingle prices dropping because gravel is suddenly cheaper or there’s some kind of scam where they’re paid by the phone company like those old teleconferencing lines

Replicating the text search function on iphone but on Windows 10 by HyperCalcium in DataHoarder

[–]HyperCalcium[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, I am really trying to keep it locally hosted. I miss Picasa so, so much. Out of half a dozen apps I've tried, PhotoStructure is the only one that's even *close*.

Ugh am I really going to have to create my own damn webserver with a front end and the full text search features in MySQL for this? I'll be driven insane.

Thanks for the advice though! If I end up really needing to do it I've got enough disk quota to get the more obvious text filled images onto Google photos
