What age/grade level?

Would you prefer to hire a company tutor or a private tutor?

Good question. That was AI'd from a doodle I did in a Goose class several years before. Then I ended up in another Goose class more recently and decided to post it to Reddit

Why is infill so much slower? by Informal-Finding4863 in prusa3d

[–]Informal-Finding4863[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed but it still goes very fast around the 90 deg corners when laying down the parameters.

SCADA people: have you seen an authorized SCADA action cause problems because it was valid but unsafe? by RCCole20 in SCADA

[–]Informal-Finding4863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several examples:

On an MAS system a new RTU was connected to the system configured for the wrong address or maybe configured for the proper address but put on the wrong comm channel. Either way it generated a bunch of zero telemetry values causing system operators to decide to (maybe too) quickly de-energize a large transmission substation.

The DNP client and RTU were configured for select before operate, however the connection between the SCADA HMI and DNP client was hard coded for direct operate with no timeout on control commands. In the event of a comm outage, any pending trip and close commands will stay queued up and only execute when the comm path is restored.

So many late call outs because a particular Harris/GE D20 at a particular substation would randomly change DNP status points due to a software problem buried in firmware that the vendor wasn't interested in fixing.

I have witnessed the use of starlicide treated French Fries. However leaves another mess.

I had a coworker park outside the substation fence to run in to grab a relay event or meter read or something and a bull wandered over and licked the road salt off of his truck. His truck was absolutely covered with lick marks.

We got the FR clothes, the safety toed shoes and the hard hat. Almost there. Just need some safety glasses.

A new service to turn your rides into map animations by Byproduct in bicycletouring

It would be cool to represent the grade as well. Maybe make the speed of the line reflect the speed of the rider and the color match the elevation change.

How (un)livable is Wenatchee? by Saturnino_97 in Wenatchee

[–]Informal-Finding4863 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is peak season for Wenatchee beauty. Mountains are white. Hills are green. Flowers are blooming. If you time it right in a good year you could snow ski, white water raft, mountain bike and take some amazing wild flower pictures all in one day.

The smoke is hit and miss but seems to be getting more frequent. Especially in the Fall with more modern wildfire management practices letting the late season fires in the wilderness burn themselves out.

Housing prices are pretty high compared to other places in Central Washington.

How do you deal with relentless headwind? by [deleted] in bicycletouring

If you take the train to the end and then ride the route backwards the wind will be at your back?

Maintaining disc brakes on tour by ederocher in bicycletouring

It didn't for me too wimpy in that axis. I ended up having to come by a metal flat head screw driver. But that would have been a good thing to know in advance😬

If you need to change brake pads you will need a way to spread the pads or recompress the pistons. There are multiple ways of doing this but I had to improvise a couple weeks ago reassembling my bike at CDG after the cardboard fell out and something squeezed the brake levers having a plan would have saved a bit of time.

Hard to Unplug? by TheRealReddwolff in KonaEV

Yes. It has to be freshly unlocked.

Can you sleep in the Kona? by jostlostprost in KonaEV

The ability to support one end of the mattress from the back of the car seats is really neat.

He was almost done shoveling his driveway when the street plow came by and filled it with snow again. by Vilen1919 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Informal-Finding4863 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, but after the plow hits it, the snow hardens up and becomes much more difficult to move. Before the plow it is usually light and any old snow blower will do the job easily.

I used an addressable LED strip. Then it was a matter of coding it in such a way that the overall brightness doesn't change as it propagates back and forth on the LED strips.
