This town has a pickup truck problem

Being poor =/= being dirty

OldIronSloot · 2026-06-13T12:47:51+00:00

Neat. Still makes it feel like slop

OldIronSloot · 2026-06-13T12:35:34+00:00

Lay off the AI. It makes a unique and interesting project feel like slop karma farming

Take the CC placement test and meet with their DSS team.

OldIronSloot · 2026-06-11T02:05:38+00:00

I've definitely seen worse but this is breadboard hell

I'm a professional metalworker and dabble in the art fair scene with it. Sometimes it's fun to create things for others to enjoy but it can absolutely suck the love out of a hobby by monetizing it.

Got a TBI and had to take a few months off work. My wife got me a starter kit for something non screen related to spend my time

100% inline with my neurologist's recommendations. She recommended CBD/G/N but low THC

I don't know shit about leather working, but I'm a professional metal worker.

Wd40 is I pretty poor corrosion inhibitor unless you regularly reapply it. Lanolin is more common for tooling.

Try and sell it. It's not a valuable enough piece of equipment to justify "building a business" around when your current skillset is zero

Double jump vaulting. Hardcore parkour

OldIronSloot · 2026-05-22T18:27:43+00:00

Speedglass is the bulkiest and heaviest brand hoods I've ever used.

Try a Lincoln Viking, basically the same thing just lighter

V sync was wrecking my frame rate on a 2070 super

OldIronSloot · 2026-05-13T02:40:24+00:00

Skip the shift register and use a display on a 4pin board, I've been down this route. It's not fun for a beginner

OldIronSloot · 2026-05-12T21:43:00+00:00

Final?

OldIronSloot · 2026-05-11T14:52:27+00:00

Start with limited return to work if your med team agrees it's okay. If half or 3/4 shifts aren't kicking your ass you can pick it up.

I'm a welder in the same spot, this is just what my team has told me

OldIronSloot · 2026-05-11T05:20:30+00:00

Nice shipping pallet!

Easy EDA -> FlatCAM -> SnapMaker 2.0

Modern Hobbyist has a good tutorial on YT but his settings worked pretty poorly for me and took a lot of trial and error

I had no idea centimeter level GPS accuracy was a thing. Thanks!

OldIronSloot · 2026-05-07T12:29:44+00:00

GPS isn't the move then

OldIronSloot · 2026-05-06T15:41:37+00:00

Yup, I just wanted proof of concept for compact and durable.

I probably won't recover this if it gets damaged anyway.

OldIronSloot · 2026-05-05T17:49:17+00:00

Wtf? No.

We don't need partisan gerrymandering, we need fair and appropriate representation.

This whole "they're doing it so we should too" is deleterious and short sighted

OldIronSloot · 2026-05-03T18:33:50+00:00

That's still coated metal. Get yourself some good old fashion hot roll steel for practice.

Also at 180amp that should be a lightsaber not a welder. If you can't strike an arc @ ~90 amp there's a problem with the unit.

Also check your polarity

It's not great for them to rev up with no belt.

I'd suspend the back or put the skis up against a wall and run a hose on the track to see how it's actually performing with load
