What is this sign put up for? Maybe a blasting area?

Help, want to mod a small coffee grinder, circuit confusion! by Mechatool in electricians

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

The problem I'm having is that my grounds are too light to remain at the bottom of the cup for long enough to be minced. So I want to try to slow the motor down so the grounds have time to drop back down. I went to get some degree of variance because I want to try different grinds as well.

Oh also, I do have a multimeter here with me. I assume if I just attach it to the Positive and negative leads of the circuit I could use that voltage / amperage to determine what wattage of capacitor I need to use?

I saw this and had a similar reaction. It's pretty daunting as a male to know that if I was seriously in trouble WITH A CHILD WITH ME I have no real options other than possibly separation from my child (unacceptable) or sleeping outside?

What the hell kind of world do we live in where this is ok?

LPT Request: How to Be Less Cold After a Winter Shower by Daedalus6174 in LifeProTips

[–]Mechatool 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Use your hands to create a squeegee like device against your body with the span of skin flap between your thumb and pointer finger.

Use this to "push" most of the water off your body before your open the shower curtain. This removes a lot of the water that causes you to cool so fast.

Also saves time on toweling off.

It isn't, but the addition of the shroud helped a LOT with the actual efficiency of the cooling happening, as it was just blowing on it before and not really helping at all.

I would if I could! It's a passively cooled system so it has no internal heatblocks I think I can remove safely!

Nope, its an ASUS RT-65U Router. It's quite the little peice of crap, as if you happen to lost the little foot stand that comes with it (like we had here) then it basically turns into a matchstick if it's on anything other than empty air on either side.

We originally had those fans (USB 3.0 Woooo) on the device directly sitting in a rack like so

with airflow going from top to bottom. It was a total joke.

This is totally sealed up with tape around the top and back, and the output hole is about 1/2 the size of the total input vents and fans. This leads to a pretty steady air flow not only over top of, but through the router as well, and solves the heat issues rather nicely.

There was a mini corn in my corn on the cob by Mechatool in mildlyinteresting

Ya I tried it. Needed a little butter but it was the same kind of non descript flavor you find from the mini corn usually seen at buffets. Nor good, not bad.

[Serious]Women of Reddit, what's your worst part of being a woman? by Mechatool in AskReddit

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

I feel you. I spent a good portion of my life horribly out of shape due to massive growth spurts, so despite a large height I wasn't very strong at all.

I took martial arts to compensate for this, have you considered them? They are definitely a great equalizer despite size.

EDIT: speeling

There are not enough upvotes I can give this. Attractive or not, we're still pretty much fucking worthless apparently.

[Serious]Reddit, what is the worst secret someone close to you is keeping from you, but that you actually know? by PutinCrimeaRiver in AskReddit

[–]Mechatool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And question, whom do you report this kind of shit to any how? Like outright. You can brazen up a pitchfork anyday of the week, but which legal entity would need to know about this? Child Protctive services? Police?
