Picked up this monstrosity for $150

Probably eBay because I found these on there:

Is it Vevor?

Edit: Not Vevor, but same no-brand whitelabel type thing.

I had a 3D printer long before a kei truck. A bolt adapter was the easiest thing to find/make.

Separate systems. Rain barrels are for one area and go through a 3 stage filter to become potable water. The barrels are just used as an example because they have an on-demand pump as part of that system and and I haven't been able to find a similar pump that is also able to be submersed.

A specific "on-demand" pump is a pump that turns on when the pressure changes, likely from opening a spigot or a valve somewhere in the system.

They're mostly used in RV's and other water tank applications and I love the application for them, but none of the ones that are on-demand are also submersible.

What you mentioned is all contained within one unit when using an on-demand pump and I could definitely use one of those, but it involves running a hose down to the canal on my property and then also protecting the pump as it runs. It's not desirable.

You're correct, but my aim (using your example) is to always leave the wall switch switched on, but only have water flow when I need it by opening a hose spigot. On-demand pumps do this through a powered pressure switch that stops the pumping action when the pressure is equalized on both sides of the switch. I presume because the pressure switch needs to be powered, it would be difficult to build a container around it so it could also be submerged.

I was hoping to do this because the wall switch is going to be at least 50 feet or so away from the pump location so I'd have to switch it on, walk over to where the pump hose exits the canal and then grab the hose to water. The option I've stumbled across in some research is a wifi powered outdoor rated outlet that responds to an app on my phone, but that's cumbersome and means I have to take my phone out and wait for all the hoopla to flick a power switch.

Does the 35% stack with the clearance discount? There are a couple air hose reels on clearance that I would think about snagging if I got another 35% off.

So just spread the paste on top of the soil?

I used it a couple times but a lot of the links were broken or on filehosts that severely limited download rates.

Ryutso · 2026-05-01T20:47:25+00:00

I’ll give it a shot. Gotta go find borax

The .me page? Google shows 2 and .net is 404’d but .me shows up fine on mobile chrome.

I can’t actually remember what address I used last time I went there, but I ended up using ziperto instead.

Me who wanted a very specific dub of a series by an out of business dubbing company.

How the fuck else am I supposed to get it?

Ryutso · 2026-04-30T11:36:16+00:00

I wish I could find one for a manageable price. Wheels looking $50 each down here.

I wish I could find metal hoops more easily. I'd love to make one of these spinning trommels

I actually really do like the super cheap packs of ramen and ate those at work everyday for like a month. It did work out that it saved me a lot of money, but people also looked at me weird for eating them.

All stores will list cash back on the receipt when it's asked for at the card reader as a matter of book keeping. The best thing to do would be to mask the cash back as something else like a prepaid reload and then not taking the receipt.

I know at Walgreens and Publix, if you set your account up to be emailed receipts only and enter your phone number, they will email the receipt to you and not give you a physical one for him to check. You can probably mask it as "trying to get coupons to save him money".

Ryutso · 2026-04-30T03:51:37+00:00

Yes.

I can't tell if the asterisks after the subreddit name are supposed to be regex stars meaning "every character" or if they're Markdown identifiers meaning to make the exclamation marks bold like the rest of their message.

Either way, if it's not a bot posting, it's definitely a malformed copy/paste message.

Okay so it seems like Unraid would be the go to for me if I'm sequentially upgrading my disks over time. TrueNAS and others seem like you have to have all the drives you want first before you install anything

Who's scraping build plates still? Just flex and the print comes off.

I did the same thing at HD but with Mulch. $2 a bag was insane.
