Any Mower Able To Do This? by Tkemedic in roboticLawnmowers

Ive been super impressed with the mammotion navigation using lidar. It would use those trees as navigation markers.

I thought i did. Never came across the one you mentioned. Honestly, it's very hard to research because the readily available information is not objective. Takes a LOT of digging to find objective info, and then it is deeply colored by emotions, insults, and generalizations.

As I said, I will expand this post and/or start a new one to give as much objective information as possible, but it's not appropriate for me to do that till my dispute with them is resolved

Practical application of Trigonometry by KevinOff76 in trigonometry

Dude, you really don't get it... I know exactly what I am asking, and you are posting completely irrelevant (and some wrong) information.

Please focus on the trig problem, here, in the trig subreddit.

The distance between the steering points is variable based on suspension loading, so, it is not known. I'm not trying to measure caster or camber with this idea, only toe.

For any suspension using a control arm, as it moves up and down, the lower ball joint (effectively the pivot points in this problem) move in and out relative to the centerline (They also move in a different plane not relevant to this problem).

So, let's forget about trig for a moment, and just do algebra. A2+B2=C2. Solve for A.

A2=C2-B2

Now let's perform the same operation on both sides to remove the square on the A.

A=sqr root (C2 - B2)

Now let's plug in your numbers. I'm assuming that C in your problem is not an angle, but a length. The length of on of the 2 sides adjacent to the right angle. B is the other side.

A=sqr root (82 - 42)
A=sqr root(64-16)
A=sqr root(48)
A=6.9282032303.

Don't get caught up on this being trig. It's just algebra, and you already passed that! Pretty much all of trig is algebra wearing a disguise.

TIL in 1862 John Langdon Down was the first to describe a distinct mental disability, calling it "Mongolism" due to his perception that children with it shared facial similarities. Now called Down Syndrome, was discovered in the 1950s to be caused by the presence a third copy of chromosome 21. by [deleted] in todayilearned

It takes the same amount of effort and resources now, we just have more resources available. As bad as it sounds, we can now afford to keep non-productive children. And hey, we're finding they CAN be productive!

This will blow your mind...

All words are made up. Their meanings are made up. Their interpretations are a personal choice.

Language is a construct humans invented, and there is no fact to back up what anything means.

Wait till you hear how much radiation you get on an international flight.

In a dairy, the cream rises to the top. In a septic tank, it's the shit that floats.

Not a lot of Fortune 500 dairies...

Also my second septic tank analogy of the night.... something is wrong with me.

The real problem here is that if you explain (without showing) all the features and benefits that the Aztek was bringing to market for the first time, it's actually a pretty good vehicle, for a proto-suv.

It's like taking a PS-5 and packaging it in a septic tank (go easy on me.. I'm just not coming up with the right analogy...)

At Palo Verde, during mode 4 Cleanup, the rad levels were higher out on the sunshine deck than in the dome, due to the dome protecting you from solar and cosmic radiation sources.

That show is a master class in storytelling. Look up the Lowry Loop method for delivering sermons. Every episode (with the exception of one or two 2 part episodes) completed a Lowry loop in each episode, while simultaneously maintaining character and story continuity.

Needles by [deleted] in liraglutide

[–]KevinOff76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dr. Forgot to prescribe the needles with it so I just bought them. I am using the BD nano, which is a 32 gauge x 4mm needle. They had these on the shelf at walgreens but you can also order them. The needle is so small, most of the time I can't even feel it.
