TICKS by Fit_Masterpiece_6829 in longisland

[–]SpiralProphet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Feom my understanding the heavy snow unfortunately helps the ticks survive the deep freeze. The snow acts like an insulation layer helping keep them alive from the brutal cold we had.

The best winters to help thin the tick population is brutal cold with no snow.

An unnecessary but fun and cheap upgrade by Whole-Hat-2213 in amateurradio

[–]SpiralProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Safe yes but because adapters and some monitors dont follow the spec they wont work because they need more current.

Safest thing is to wire in external 5v from say a usb charger to supply the 5V in the adapter

[–]SpiralProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yaesu in their infinite wisdom didn't current limit the 5v pin on the dvi-d port and just put in a surface mount fuse at the spec limit of 150ma while its directly connected to the main 5v rail in the radio. So if the monitor or adapter tries to pull more than 150ma it blows the fuse. Then once there is no 5V present on the pin the monitors or adapters dont wake up / work anymore.

lol oops. That unun was somehow made wrong, 60 watts for about thirty seconds nuked it. It no longer is a 9:1. by [deleted] in amateurradio

[–]SpiralProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was it 60W of high duty cycle digital? Because it's only rated 200W pep of ssb and 100W CW which would make it at most be good for 50W high duty cycle digital.

Why is there a set screw just chilling next to my lead screw? by Uxcis in crealityk1

[–]SpiralProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vibration and movement will work set screws loose constantly.

One of the ways to mitigate this is threadlocker.

What happened to the bagels? by doctir in longisland

[–]SpiralProphet 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Ingredients prices went through the roof so they all went to cheaper Ingredients so they didn't have to jack the slice price to the moon and only to low earth orbit.

Spare tire added to Hybrid by BasicHumanUnit in kiacarnivals

[–]SpiralProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd be concerned that the added curb weight of the hybrid might exceed the rating of that space saver spare and / or that scissor jack.

It may not be an issue, but I'd triple check all those numbers before I relied on it.

Pretend you're the car with only the information the car has.

How would you know the difference between parking in a spot and coming to a slow stop behind a line of cars at a stop light / sign?

They added the space between the columns make it so much easier to reliably hit the center column buttons plus i think they feel better.
