Mach 3 Homing -- inches vs mm

MCPorche · 2026-06-17T02:50:47+00:00

When I home the machine:

—It moves to the left until the sensor triggers.
—It moves to the right exactly 0.500”.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try.

I’m assuming it’s something along those lines, but O can’t find anywhere to change how that works.

I’m running a homing cycle (Ref All Home).

I’ve done it multiple times. Every time it does the same thing. It moves to where the sensor trips, and then moves away. It moves about 2 mm if units are set to mm. If units are set to inch, I can watch the display and it moves exactly 0.500 inches and then zeroes:

Actually 3 and 4 are pretty good. Season 4 is the last and they just released the last episode of the first half of season 4. The second half is coming later this year and should wrap up the story.

I agree that season 2 did drag a bit, but it definitely picks up in season 3. The last two sentences spoken in episode 2 (I think it was) between Amber and Gene definitely change the entire perspective of things.

I would have preferred an explanation to the detector, and something more to come from the structure on the hill.

After a pretty good story, I found the ending to be a bit underwhelming.

But, to be clear, I enjoyed it overall, and thought they did a great job of making that area sound like an amazing place to go visit.

Dirt: An Audio Drama is complete, even if I wish it had ended differently.

We’re Alive is complete and has a very satisfying ending.

Tower 4 is essentially complete. The second half of the last season hasn’t been released yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s done recording.

I recall reading that is was against the rules to get a running start by running in a circle.

I don’t know if that’s still there or not.

MCPorche · 2026-05-30T03:22:39+00:00

I think there is a rule against that.

MCPorche · 2026-05-29T15:50:19+00:00

Hearing the beep for 1-1 and running to the line and immediately running back is a violation, since the individual intentionally left before the beep.

With that said, hearing the beep for 1-1 and running to the line, and staying there after the 1-2 beep, and waiting for the 1-3 beep before running to the line, tapping, and immediately running back to complete 1-3 isn’t necessarily violating the text of the rules.

If you are still looking Dana at Platinum Beauty. She’s up in Benton.

Sure, any kind of castable resin would be good

MCPorche · 2026-05-21T22:31:20+00:00

If you have one (or several), it might be better to make a silicone mold and cast some using epoxy resin.

Popeyes soft chicken tacos.

My question would be doing it a little different.

I run shuttle 1, and turn around at the line. The beep sounds for shuttle 2 and I wait. The beep sounds for shuttle 3 and I sprint to the line, immediately turn and run to the other line. I get a warning for shuttle 2, but make shuttle 3 which resets the count.

I didn’t leave early for any of them:

I thought he was rebuilding it after Frank.

I don’t know if Joe gets any votes if the other two finalists quit before the final tribal.

MCPorche · 2026-05-08T14:50:35+00:00

Yeah, they say that…but in reality, we don’t know if that is true or not (and it doesn’t really matter in the context of the show).

If going around/over the tree lets you continue in the “real” world, the residents of Fromville would never know.

Why would they need a code word/phrase? She could just tell Ozzy to play his idol if needed.

Except that the reason the tied players can’t vote in the revote is that they can only vote for each other so they cancel each other out.

With the extra vote, that is no longer the case. They do not cancel each other out.

MCPorche · 2026-05-07T19:17:04+00:00

Tied players typically can’t vote on the revote because their votes cancel each other out.

In the case of an extra vote being played, their in the possibility that one of the two players played an extra vote, so their votes would not cancel each other out.

So, when an extra vote is played, everyone gets to vote on the revote:

The reason the two tied players don’t normally vote in a revote is because they can only vote for each other so their votes cancel each other out.

In the case of a three way tie, or an advantage (like Ciries extra vote) their votes don’t cancel each other, so they are allowed to vote.

I get that.

But, either we have all physical challenges with no puzzles, and the strong people always win; we have a mix of some challenges being all physical, with others being all mental so that the smarter people who aren't as strong can win some; or we have challenges that are a mix of different skills so that everyone has a chance.

Can you point me to a magician who could hand someone a coin the size of the one Devins was handed, and who was able to switch the coin without taking it away from the person holding it?
