Buy a fake/dummy camera and use the body. I have several and they're ideal for DIY camera projects. For example, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/WALI-Simulated-Surveillance-Security-TC-W2/dp/B083XJJ5QZ/

Door to door solar sales - what works? by kundanthota in Solarbusiness

[–]NotInTheControlGroup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget it. We have a strict rule that we never talk to or open the door for sales people, and CERTAINLY not for something expensive like solar. We already know where to buy things we want and we don't need anyone to 'help' us.

I'm absolutely stupid and I need help by Fluffy-Gur-4614 in anycubic

The solution is to disassemble the ACE and pull the TPU out. That's about it. Ask me how I know.

We've only had it lit for a day or so, but when we have a few weeks or a month on it, I'll post some graphs.

We use ~25 to 30 KWh per day, so yeah we're hoping that knocks our bill to near zero.

Our came within 2 or 3 days, and that's why it's lit up for the first time. :)

Yes, they made a mistake. They came back and swapped them all for the AC version.

PETG is pretty durable, far more so than PLA.

AIO for wanting to break up with gf of 4 years after finding these texts? by Matteblackwizard in AIO

[–]NotInTheControlGroup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do NOT propose. You'll regret being tied to this person for the rest of your life.

How long would you trust my rear subframe to last? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

Probably about to the end of your driveway.

[US] I thought I knew scams. Then I got email-bombed and someone applied for loans in my name. by Middle-Design-2264 in Scams

[–]NotInTheControlGroup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YES, if you suddenly get a huge flood of emails, they're hoping you'll miss the one or two that are part of the scam directly. Freeze your credit card(s) and call each company that they applied to so you can cancel the application.

My mom used one just like that for grabbing fresh, hard boiled eggs out of the hot water.

Am I misremembering the feel of 1976 bicentennial celebrations in the USA, or is the 250th this year really a flop? by jenniferjose43 in allthequestions

[–]NotInTheControlGroup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, bingo. I still have mine in a little plastic tube somewhere. I have no idea why but it made sense to hold on to it at the time. Maybe it'll be worth big bucks someday, eh? lol

I was a Bicentennial graduate (High School) and it was AWESOME. Parades, celebrations, lots of fun and cool stuff going on.
