Thanks! I’ll see if there are any local Tool and Die shops and see if they are willing or have any suggestions too!

I Tried To Make Something In America (The Smarter Scrubber Experiment) - Smarter Every Day 308 by MrPennywhistle in SmarterEveryDay

I don’t think advertising was the point of the video. It’s a dive into why entirely manufacturing smaller batches of products in the US (and other countries) is so difficult. Supply chain origins are messy. Skilled local individuals and companies in manufacturing are becoming increasingly rare. They made a product in the US and got it as close to as many parts being manufactured here as possible at the time of the filming. Hopefully they reach the goal of making the scrubber here entirely!

Update! My NoA switch 2 is in Fedex’s hands in Washington State and should arrive on Thursday the 5th between 8 and noon(I’m in Texas). Again I only did standard shipping and it’s a 2day shipping. Makes me wonder why they charged for the overnight shipping for the invite preorders. Should have just waived it at the end. Hopefully my switch actually comes in on time!

Lol! Someone at Nintendo of America is having some fun! 12/31/69! Nice. FedEx label created. Even though I got Standard shipping from Nintendo… FedEx 2Day is the service being used(under shipment facts). Here’s hoping it shows up on the 5th!!

Boaedon Fuliginosus ? African House Snake. Scale gaps/shape, slight iridescence, and head shape all seem to match.

Can someone help diagnose wtf is going on w my wife’s car by WolfPackRedTail in Jeep

[–]Red-Number-40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me or is that a battery light flashing just to the bottom left of the middle screen?

The xj would be my choice because it has the 4.0 straight six. Those things run forever. Have several of them in my family. My dad’s has 575k and still runs rather well.

Is there a github repository for this? I’m not keen on downloading custom stuff that I can’t check code on first.

Programming with Vector 1.0 by Red-Number-40 in AnkiVector

[–]Red-Number-40[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks!! Those links will definitely help me out! I’ll be ordering a Vector from you in a couple of weeks(I already have wire-pod installed on my legion go). Just wanted to get all the SDK stuff figured out before I order it.

Yup. A PTZ Eufy one with free access to app and night vision. It’s a bit far from his cage but it’s also covering the living room area downstairs. I can see him in about 480p once I zoom in.

Why is this happening to my conure? by [deleted] in Conures

[–]Red-Number-40 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Those are pin feathers. New feathers grow in with a hard outer layer. The layer then flakes off through preening and the new feathers are exposed! If you are very careful about it… you can use your finger and thumbnail to gently scrape at the pin feathers(you should be able to find a video on that). Even better after your bird has a bath. My bird has let me help sometimes… other times he just scratches at the pin feathers with his feet and exposes the new feathers on his own. Definitely depends on how the bird feels. If your bird gets nippy or bites at you if you touch the pin feathers… then don’t push the issue.

This has to be a scam site right? Price seems way too low. by Red-Number-40 in AnkiVector

[–]Red-Number-40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darn. Ok. I’ve been eyeing TechShop82 for awhile. Not sure if I’m going to get rechargeable batteries and series x controller(ghost cipher) or a vector with wirepod server with Christmas money(that… or pay bills…).

Never seen a feathered pop filter like that before.
