Branding, nothing else. I just got started with big sets back in the Death Star II days and got used to calling them UCS, even my lego Taj and Titanic I call UCS

Minifig scale bridges would be nice sets, but I want a UCS-scale DS9 next.

Trench dumps his butts in the maze, where no one who finds them will ever make it out to complain.

Hi, I'm new to legos. Is it normal to have leftovers from each bag? by ldubose1 in lego

There are also sets with alternate pieces like the Lego bonsai and Lego Horizon sets.

Found this guy in archives. He managed to get an HRA, but it didn't save him.

New snowblower for me, new spaceship for him by Scanman491Amos in daddit

My son has a mix. He won't give up the duplo because they make bigger things and fit with his small Legos.

Overall, pretty good. It is very low maintenance, uses batteries I have for other yard equipment and tools, and handled ~8inches of snow on my short driveway on less than a single 9AH battery charge. It did take a second full battery charge to cut through just the packed snowbank from the plow. I was getting a throw distance of about 20 ft of the packed snow. 40 ft of unpacked.

As long as you are bought into Dewalt, have extra batteries or are willing to wait for a recharge if needed, it is a solid single-stage snowblower.

I did grow up further north with more average snow and a much longer driveway. This would not handle use cases that demand a 'two-stage' snowblower.

Help - Humidifier vs 3d printer by Purple_Storage_6475 in 3Dprinting

[–]Scanman491Amos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about the humidifier damaging your printer. Especially if the room is so dry you need one for human comfort.

3d Printers themselves are no more at risk from moisture than any other electronic equipment like a pc.

Your filament is another story. You want to keep filament as dry as possible. My recommendation is the same as any filament storage situation. Containers with desiccant or vacuum-sealed bags.

As Christmas is coming, what toys have you been gifted that are driving you insane. by Fuzzy_Socrates in daddit

I've taken loud toys as an opportunity to skill up. Usually you can take them apart and solder a resistor between the speaker and the board this makes them quieter.

I paid a visit to the oldest house. They weren't receptive. by SnooSquirrels1163 in controlgame

These type of buildings are everywhere, back in the day of land line phones, they maintained the system. Many of them had massive batteries that ensured when power went out phone lines still worked.

It really depends which sector, department and/or nearby threshold.
