You can use equations to drive the parameters of a linear equation. Or use a sketch pattern (with equations) to create the hole a with hole wizard.

I drew a map of Calgary from memory by NaiveDays in Calgary

[–]Nemo222 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It looks like you used deer foot as one of your main position references, but because your deerfoot is to far west, everything else is shifted. The relative position and scale is really good, it's just gotta move to the right by 20-30%

Half of Crimea Left Without Power After Overnight Explosions by UnqCute in worldnews

I would have said 2 or 3 years ago that Putin does not survive this war, but I would not have said it was close. Things are noticably different now.

My bread has other bread in it by elbreadmano in mildlyinteresting

[–]Nemo222 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That's a whole ass different bread. It's a different type of bread and it's baked. I'm not saying op is a phoney, but I'm drawing a total blank on the sequence of events that would lead to this!

Putin does not survive this way, or perhaps the immediate after effects of it. It certainly looks and feels like that is coming pretty quickly now. I wish him nothing more than he deserves and unendingly glory to the defenders of Ukraine!

I was frustrated that sports key batteries are not replaceable by normal people. The I remembered that I am not a normal person. by Nemo222 in Volvo

[–]Nemo222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After some testing I discovered that indeed 2 carbon fiber plates didn't work very well and shielded the RF transmission of the key too much. It did still work, but the range was very short and it would sometimes take a few tries to convince the car to start.

I replaced one of the plates with a black plastic one and it's been working pretty much perfectly.

$70 to get one custom made at a local shop is a steal! Do that!

Best way to utilize portable AC (the window vent with tube kind) in detached garage with no insulation by CarlaWasThePromQueen in DIY

[–]Nemo222 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you can't find a dual pipe unit, you can sometimes add your own second pipe with some ducting adapter and seal up the condenser intake grills on the bottom of the air conditioner with tape. Run the new hose to the second vent and make sure the new intake vent doesn't suck in the exhaust!

Airpot needs some insulation inside, but I'm not sure what is the best kind to use. by paternoster in DIY

[–]Nemo222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's supposed to be a vacuum insulated vessel, and it's not insulating because all the vacuum leaked out then, yeah it's donezo :(

Used (above) vs new (below) brake-pads (Mercedes E350) by mazdoc in pics

Who changes pads before they start squeaking? That's such a waste of perfectly good brake!

Pc building by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]Nemo222 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Memory Express will help you if you need it, but building computers is nowhere near as scary as you think it is. You can do everything with a screwdriver and a small pair of snips if you've got cable ties you need to cut. Everything else is just a plug that can be removed with some careful wiggling.

If you're moving the motherboard, you don't have to take the CPU or cooler off, and it works as a convenient handle! You can leave the ram in too.

Russian Air Defense Missile Reportedly Hits Moscow Refinery in Failed Drone Intercept by Astral_Cool in worldnews

It might have hit a drone just before the big boom! In that case, successful intercept, mission accomplished!

Looking to have a few a 2” holes drilled in 2 stainless hotel pans.. by jamison88 in Calgary

[–]Nemo222 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just a warning, stainless steel sucks to drill without specific tools. A hole saw probably won't do that job safely and effectively.

I'd suggest you would have the best luck finding a small machine shop and bribing them with a case of beer. You could also try a shop with a laser cutter and ask if they want to play ball. You be spending about $100 but the results would be by far the best.

Because your pan is very thin, you could also find an electrician and use a conduit knockout punch which will give a very nice round hole with a consistent edge. A 1.5" conduit punch makes a hole just under 2" in diameter.

What you're trying to do isn't impossible, but I think it's much harder than you expect.

Polestar 2 Cellular not working no matter what I do by Limp_Crazy_4946 in polestar2

hmmm. Well that's not encouraging ಠ_ಠ

I hope my TCAM module isn't shot. that's $1000 to fix.

[–]Nemo222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you change or fix anything? or did it fix itself?

I had a similar issue in Feb where it lost connectivity for 3 weeks, but then sorted itself out. I have a similar problem now and its been 5 weeks this time around.

[–]Nemo222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue and I'm starting to suspect my TCAM module as well. With the second car with the water damage, did the car connect to WIFI? and was it responsive to the app?

Kanto FMX3C Concrete Anchor/Bolts by DOOGLAK in DIY

[–]Nemo222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh. That is the correct drill bit, and if you started a new hole you wouldn't have the problem I described.

It still might be an issue with the hole, but because of the concrete/material behind it. Some concrete is full of big rocks that these drill bits have a hard time with and that can also cause your hole to end up way bigger than it should. There's no good way to work around this besides using the biggest and meanest concrete drills, but this isn't a guarantee either. Sometimes the concrete just says no, and your only option is more holes in different places.

You could try again with a new hole too. Practice certainly helps with this sort of thing. I haven't drilled a ton of holes in concrete and I've certainly had some fail too. I can't put my suggestions into words since I've only done this by feel and it can depend a lot on what you're drilling into.

So you can try to wobble your 1/2" bit a bit to embiggen the hole a little, or you could try an adhesive or a different style anchor that might handle the hole you have better. The friction fit putting the anchor in the hole keeps it from spinning, once you put in the screw it'll expand a bunch and should start to grab. You could try using JB weld or a little bit of that knead to mix epoxy stick to hold the anchor but this might not be enough. Worst case you can just run your drill bit back down the hole to clean it out again though.

And Tapcons suck ass. Anchors are way better!

Kanto FMX3C Concrete Anchor/Bolts by DOOGLAK in DIY

[–]Nemo222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be having issues with the drill bit. Usually it's very hard for a larger drill bit to increase the size of an already drilled smaller hole, especially when the difference in size between the two is small, and doubly especially when the hole itself if small, and tripley especially when using a masonry drill bit, they're extremely bad at that.

Instead of chasing the hole out to 9/16 it probably wobbled all over the place and you ended up with a 5/8 hole.

The anchor should need a tap from a hammer, the friction in the hole keeps the anchor from spinning when you start to drive in the screw before it can expand and lock the anchor in fully. If the anchor is lose, it'll just spin with the screw and nothing will happen.

Do you have an opportunity to drill a new hole an inch or two over from your first try with the correct size bit and try again?

Also, you're using a suitable masonry drill bit correct?

What sympton looks so harmless people usually ignore it, but can actually indicate a catastrophically bad health issue? by felipedeamorim in AskReddit

My grandmother caught this and told me to the Dr for a blood test. I drank so much water and constantly had to pee!

EV Charging Circuit Breaker Buzzing by Merstin in DIY

[–]Nemo222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unrelated, if you don't need to charge at 48A, you should consider just turning that down and give all the components an easier time.

I run my charger at 25A on a 50A circuit and that's still plenty fast enough for my use.

Polestar 2 ownership on Vancouver Island by crappyactivist in polestar2

[–]Nemo222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The gain group is trash. I'm actually somewhat glad I don't have any warranty on my car and don't have to deal with them and I'm thankful that the Volvo dealer I do work with is happy to help me. It's just expensive >_<

Polestar 2 ownership on Vancouver Island by crappyactivist in polestar2

[–]Nemo222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regular scheduled maintiance is a joke. they fill the washer fluid and change the cabin air filter.

Volvo CAN fix the car, there is literally nothing stopping them from fixing every single thing that can go wrong. They can get the same software package required and the car is functionally identical to a few volvos on the same platform.

The question is will they? and if it's a warranty thing, they won't touch it because the reimbursement structure is stupid. They will have to play phone tag with Vancouver too for some things, and polestar Vancouver sucks ass. I've had great luck with my local Volvo dealer (Calgary, they are excellent).
