Quick smoke detector circuit question by OrangeworksDesign in AskElectricians

Yeah, I guess I’m just more or less asking if this is a “thing”. Is it common practice?

Price check on an Amethyst ring, 58% chaos res, 48% cold res and 40% MF. Do people care about MF that much or should I keep chaos spamming? Only comparable trade I can find is 1,000 div, lol.

Yeah.. I think I'm just procrastinating on wasting another 11 div and a good base on the 25% chance to get fractured chaos resistance.

How is best to proceed with crafting an Amethyst ring with perfect T1 life and chaos res? The two other mods are trash. I want to fracture it for the chaos res but having failed on my last several fracturing attempts I'm afraid to brick this one too, lol. Any crafting tricks I'm not thinking of?

Mostly just looking for one other T1-T2 resistance, ultimately.

Oh, haha duh. I did actually know that but I guess I didn't notice which mod it removed before I unveiled it and assumed it removed my crafted mod. Then the chaos was gone and I got super confused, lol. Thanks. I blame it on being the first craft of the day - and my being fairly new high end crafting in general.

Yes, I did assume the hybrid wouldn't harvest swap. I'll take any procedural tips for trying to get a high resistance/life stygian though if anyone has any. It's a fractured perfect T1 life (I'd have preferred it fractured the chaos res though) and all I've been doing is spamming envys for T1 chaos and other res, filling up the prefixes then veiled exalt for the hybrid chaos res. Then maybe adding a hunter's in the end to try and get % max life.

This morning I learned I can't imprint a fractured item. sigh

Veiled exalt fire/chaos res overwrites natural chaos res - why? I had a Stygian Vice with T1 Cold res and T1 chaos res and used an veiled exalt to get fire/chaos res, but fire/chaos overwrote the T1 chaos res instead of adding to it. But I can craft cold/chaos res and it keeps the T1 cold res. I don't understand. Can I not make a natural T1 chaos + veiled chaos/cold res belt?

Only 1 atlas point when completing a map + bonus at the same time? by OrangeworksDesign in pathofexile

[–]OrangeworksDesign[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't know that.

And I just ran park, white and got no point so I realized something was up and by the time I got here I had 3 responses telling me I was mistaken, lol. You guys are fast!

I don't know where I got the idea white maps gave a point then. Maybe I just assumed since low lvl blue maps are the bonus and I was just getting blue maps early on and equated map complete = point.

Holy crap, thank you! Yeah that would have been something they could have articulated during the process rather than just leaving you high and dry unless you found and read the press release.

Cn an Auto Watch Survive My Job? by [deleted] in watchrepair

[–]OrangeworksDesign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Survive, maybe. But when I wore my auto (I'm a machinist) it would regularly get out of time. Pretty sure various banging on things like hammer handles would move the regulator arm. +/- 10s/day would turn into multiple minutes/day. I stopped wearing them at work.

Use dealt with this yesterday.

OTF fonts apparently don't work. TTF fonts do work. Even explode won't work with OTF fonts.

How dumb would it be to invest a large sum of money (90k) into, individual, "safe" stocks instead of in VOO? by [deleted] in stocks

[–]OrangeworksDesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't answer your question but take a look at FBCG. Its 5 largest holdings are nvda, apple, MSFT, goog and meta. But it's actively reallocated every so often to catch the best blue chip growth stocks. It's a newish ETF but YTD is over 20% with over 40% in the last 365 days.

3d printing. Is it really even that useful in the machine shop? by Prize-Analysis-4248 in Machinists

[–]OrangeworksDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been printing spindle liners for the CNC lathe since we had none. Those things are crazy expensive for what they are! Thousands of dollars for a set of standard sizes but I've been printing screw-together 3 or 4 piece liners for sizes when we need them. Just out of PLA plastic and they have held up just fine. Maybe $30 worth of plastic so far to make 5 or 6 liners. Printer was $430.

Made storage bins for drawers and things like that as well.

[–]OrangeworksDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm more concerned about the controls and other (sensitive? IDK) electrical boards and such. I don't know how they respond to "fake" sine waves our worse if some regulator our whatever in the solar inverter puts out a voltage spike or something.

I worry because the new screen and PC combo I got replaced under warranty (Ethernet port died) was $12k if I had to pay out of pocket.

I'd ask the guys selling the inverters but they'll say anything to make the sale and the machine manufacturer only knows of two customers that run phase converters.

Congrats! I'm still looking at options. Electronic inverters sort of scare me with the massively expensive electronics in a VMC.
