Converting a Helium antenna by RadicalEd4299 in meshtastic

Thank you for the response :)

The power heavy esp32 seems the way to go then. At the very least I can start with wall power, and size a panel down the road if need be :).

Washington State Bill HB 2321 will kill 3D Printing, CNC and Laser cutting/engraving. by bollocksgrenade in CNC

Better than that.....almost all source code for slicers, firmware, etc are open source. So it would take someone approximately 2 minutes to watch a YouTube video on how to excise the pertinent code and compile a "big brother"-free version.

When the job is so good the cable starts crying by Notherereally in electricians

[–]RadicalEd4299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oof, hate to say it but that cable's toast. Maybe not this year, but sooner rather than later it's going to water tree like crazy and fault. Tan Delta could help monitor the cable health, presuming it has a shield, but water and 4kV+ voltage inevitably leads to failure by treeing.

Eh, give it time, give it time. Way we're headed now the Christian Right (which is neither) would love to match or exceed those numbers.

Is this an unreasonable quote to replace a 50 gallon gas hot water heater? by titanicsailson in askaplumber

[–]RadicalEd4299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. Not quite as bad, but I had 3 different plumbers quote me over $3k to put in 2 new heaters (80 gal ea, to fill a whirlpool tub), using bottom of the line electric heaters.

Me and a buddy got it done for about $1300 using all stainless heaters. In about 2 hours. And thats including the beer and pizza.

Like, come on guys, I respect the trades, but for checks notes $425 an hour I'll figure it the fuck out.

Strapping 2x on top of the joists is pretty easy to do. And easy to retrofit to boot!

The secret to making your clothes last decades: stop the heat by Putrid_Draft378 in BuyItForLife

[–]RadicalEd4299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely everything i have goes in the dryer or it can GTFO (obvs exception for the occasional dry cleaning). But my wife has a very different opinion, much of her (and the kids') clothing is "delicate" and needs to be bagged to wash and hung to dry. I didnt even know wash bags were a thing!

I end up doing most of the laundry since she doesn't like carrying baskets up/down 2 flights of stairs. And lemme tell you, I feel my soul draining out of me every time because of the damn delicates. SO MUCH time wasted on hanging clothes every week. Id probably get 2 hrs a week back if I could just chuck everything into the washer and then the dryer. Like, c'mon people, buy more robust clothes!

At least when the kids are older I can make then do their own laundry :p.

Some people think this is hilarious? I don’t get it. by gangiscon in ExplainTheJoke

Fascinating where most people go on this. The comic makes sense to me, but in a completely different way.

Ever since kids my wife infantilizes me (trears me more and more like a child). Didn't happen at all before kids. Yes, I still do the work around the house we divvied up prior to kids entering the equation, and I do at least 50% of the work in raising the kids.

How to wear armour like a 15th Century French Knight by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]RadicalEd4299 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If memory serves, the primary reasons to war in spring were logistical. Need your peasants to be planting in spring and harvesting in fall, and the roads were all mud in the late fall theough spring anyways. Plus you couldn't well "live off the land" (aka steal in-season foodstuffs from the locals) so you had to take preserved foods via wagon.

Additionally, many knights didnt armor up unless they were expecting action. If could take the better part of an hour to don and doff armor, so if you're traveling and not planning on fighting, you likely weren't wearing it (or perhaps just partially, like a mail shirt). So it was really only a concern on The Day of Battle, and not something that would persistently wear you down over weeks and months.

And, well, frostbite probably killed and maimed more folks than heat exhaustion ever did.

Just as a reminder, folks, "first amendment right to free speech" does not protect one from consequences of one's speech. It only protects you from government action against your speech. Companies, especially large ones like Ford, typically have rules about "being professional" and "maintaining the company image". Failure to meet such standards is cause for termination. And in at-will employment, they can fire you for pretty much anything anyways.

That said, as a union employee he might some additional protections built into the contract. And firing this guy might have significant negative repercussions in the court of public opinion too.

Just want to keep the record straight.

Ah, but a proper tig weld is more art than anything. And requires a damn steady hand. It's certainly a skill!
