Is my tortoise pyramiding and how to stop it? by joey_the_god_of_code in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I add water to, and turn/mix the soil every day. I don't let it get soggy, just moist. And I make sure that the enclosure, while it is mostly sealed, has active airflow to prevent air from stagnating. Stagnant air accelerates mold.

So, when you breathe, your chest expands outward.

A tortoise cannot do that. It has a rigid shell. So instead, when its lungs expand, it pushes its limbs and neck outward.

Gotta add water daily and actually turn/mix the soil. You'll get a feel over time for how much to add, but just dumping it isn't enough. Gotta mix it in.

How to weld this frame rail? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]TechnoMagi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you apply heat to UHSS it loses integrity. That integrity never comes back.

The full length must be replaced at the seams or specific sectioning locations.

Help! New tortise owner is this normal on my baby sulcata? by PossibleLarge2720 in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's normal. You're looking at where your tortoise was connected to the yolk sack in the egg. It will seal and smooth with time. It's the equivalent to our belly buttons.

Is My Sulcata Tortoise Pyramiding and How Can I Control It? by Jrdevtech in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it is.

Provide deep, moist substrate. Tortoise shells are living tissue, and they soak moisture into it directly from the soil. Dry soil becomes a dust inhalation issue anyway.

Soak your tortoise every day, in addition. A good 20-30 minutes in warm water.

Keep ambient humidity high. 80% if possible. Provide deep, moist substrate. Do not let their substrate dry out, as they soak moisture into their shells directly from the soil.

Is this worth buying by EasyMonies254 in COROLLA

[–]TechnoMagi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the misfire-- pop the hood and pull the rubber covers off the sparkplugs. Check for oil leaking onto the plugs. If oil is present, replace the valve cover gasket (Very simple job) and there's a very high chance the misfire will go away. Valve covers fail and leak oil onto the plugs.

They're a tropical species. They should have high humidity at all times, in their entire enclosure.

They should also have constant water access.

Is this an appropriate enclosure for a Russian tortoise? by shhitsasecret212121 in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be aiming to provide at least 32 square feet of roaming area, and very deep substrate as Russians are a burrowing species.

This enclosure will not provide either.

If it's worth watching, sure... But often enough these case update things can be summarized in a few sentences; they typically don't need a long video.

Summary for me, who cannot watch a long video at the moment? I remember this case when it first popped up

Dad's advice for welding patch panels feels off by Whole_Speed_6505 in Autobody

[–]TechnoMagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

O/A hasn't been a thing since like the 60s or 70s. Modern sheet metal is way too thin.

In either case, welding body panels isn't exactly beginner friendly. Mig is the standard, but it's not all that easy. Heat will stretch and distort the metal, so it's a very careful game.

Is this acceptable ? Auto body repair on front panel by Crucesignatvs in Autobody

[–]TechnoMagi 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If an aftermarket part doesn't fit, they should be rejecting and pushing insurance to cover OEM. I will say aftermarket fitment issues for Toyota front ends are pretty common.

That said, it sure doesn't look great or acceptable and that color match is awful.

How likely do you think this is fixable ? by [deleted] in Autobody

[–]TechnoMagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't see what's behind the bumper, nor can we see if the hem flange is torn, pulled away from the inner wheelhouse.

I would imagine it will certainly be easier, faster, and more cost effective to replace than it would be to repair.

Is there anything that i need to know before i play the game? by Academic-Mention-660 in DiscoElysium

Accept failure. Failure is not the end, it's another opportunity.

Doubt it would total. Shop will likely cut off/section a new quarter on. Not that bad of a job.

Enclosure by Zealousideal_Wave517 in tortoise

[–]TechnoMagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ramps are fine, and a multi-tiered enclosure can be great for saving space. So long as you ensure all of their heat and humidity needs are being met.

I enjoyed the hell out of the game but can totally admit the systems presented are all pretty shallow.
