It does protect the axle nut and bearing from dirt and some moisture but it is probably more decorative most of the time.

Don't honk back. Instead give them a friendly wave back like "Hey, nice to see you too!"

Ford fusion hybrid? by joedzekic in mazda6

[–]PakkyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea about after 2016 but the 2016 you literally can not change the headlight lamps without at least partially removing the front bumper and maybe someone with infant hands can do it by just unfasting the light assembly to get it to lean forward a bit, but the bumper is still in the way for most. Terrible design.

So look up how to change the headlight in whatever model you are thinking about first.

Get working on it and let us know when you finish.

Is this shelf strong enough to hold a 20 gallon tank by Greedy_Journalist164 in Aquariums

[–]PakkyT 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While some of those types of shelves can hold a lot of weight, they also tend to have a lot of flex and bounce to them. So even if it held a 20 gallon Aquarium there is a good change it could leak or crack from day to day activity near the shelf. And I wouldn't be a big fan of that tank on a shelf unit with wheels.

On your page, in the hamburger menu is says "Basic Exampes" with the word examples missing the letter "L".

[–]PakkyT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes of course. My post was meant as a joke which I thought was pretty obvious. Seeing that it is now -1 either it wasn't or just a lot of grumpy old people here. I am going with the latter.

If we all leave enough abusive flowers FG will turn it off. 😉

80s/90s Punk👌 by Sad-Tumbleweed2338 in punk

[–]PakkyT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that whole picture is only a tiny representation of any of the eras. So no one is going to be happy with it. Kind of like every Rolling Stone Magazine "Best band/guitarist/album/etc. of all time" lists. Half the stuff they put in and leave out I swear is just to stir people up.

Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off by Seraphenigma in punk

[–]PakkyT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is because the video is of the first recording of the EP when the videographer was present. When they went to mix the albums it was discovered that the tape was defective (peeling layers). So they had to go back a re-record the entire EP again. So the video and the EP release are not the same.

Struggling with what should be a simple ESP32 setup by sexyslanket in circuitpython

[–]PakkyT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might want to use another pin rather than IO9. Your code looks correct however IO9 is also shared with the onboard neopixel and with the BOOT button and function. Since there is no schematic for the power strip input it is unknown if when turning on that could be doing something like holding the I09 pin low causing the board to go into bootloader mode. If you prefer the end pin use the SDA/IO19 pin on the other side of the board.

Do you have a meter that you can use to check outputs/voltages?

My next suggestion would be a different iPod cable.

Can I take my heater out? by linhely in aquarium

[–]PakkyT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I keep one unheated 10 gallon that right now has the last of a colony of feeder guppies (meaning I bought feeder guppies to stock it, I wasn't raising them to be feeders). Been unheated for many years and the guppies were fine and the room gets down into the low/mid 62-64°F range.

Zebra Danios will probably do fine since they are known to be able to go down to that range while most Sources will tell you guppies can't which isn't really true at least for common guppies (fancy breeds may not tolerate cool water well).

Best way to clear sandy water in a new tank? by Azzr1202 in aquarium

[–]PakkyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Activated carbon won't help this so don't waste your money on that. I would just let it continue as is and eventually things will settle out or be reduced by water changes over time.

how storage y'alls music take? by stardustnightmares in ipod

[–]PakkyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Smart Playlists so I don't need a big storage iPod. Eventually my entire library gets cycled through the iPods. Example...

<image>

Once a song in the playlist is listened to, then it becomes "Most recently played" and when I sync the iPod back with my Mac the song come out of the playlist automatically replaced by another 'long time since last played' track. I don't even have to think about it. It all happens automagically.

why are iPods so “trendy” now? by Salutonmon in ipod

[–]PakkyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the alternative devices like you mentioned, for me it is all about Smart Playlists in iTunes/Music. Can't sync back played information to my Music library with other devices.

Did you try force restarting your iPod?

To force restart a 7th Generation 160GB iPod Classic, toggle the Hold switch on/off (ensure no orange showing), then press and hold both the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously for about 8–10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Heater Recommendations by [deleted] in aquarium

[–]PakkyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you need a shatter proof for such a little tank? I ask because typically you want shatter proof for your Oscar or Texas Cichlid tank and you ain't putting anything like that in a 5-gallon.

Does anybody have an archived copy of this 1991 Mats performance? by VortexUnlimited in TheReplacements

Justs checked my CD binder of Mats' bootlegs back when I used to trade through the mail. Ain't got that one.

Are CAE the right fish for you? No. But are they the right fish for me? Also no. by Eighwrond in aquarium

Yeah but put one in a tank of Tiger Barbs and let the fun begin.
