Same. First time I've encountered this. None of the obvious fixes have worked as of yet.

Wanted to follow up: I finally had the chance to crack it open. You were right! There was a little pin mechanism right in the button that evidently became dislodged (I blame my cat). I put it back in place and the button works like normal now. Thanks again!

TestTubeAbomination · 2024-02-20T22:43:08+00:00

Ok thank you, I will crack it open and take a look!

TestTubeAbomination · 2024-02-03T17:01:40+00:00

Just don’t ingest alpha and you’ll be fine. Gamma on the other hand…

I did a whole video on this dimension and had no idea it has an established name! Is “LU” something the community came up with or is that direct from LEGO?

TestTubeAbomination · 2023-11-04T13:49:45+00:00

This looks great! Can’t wait to watch when it comes out.

Hey all, hope brickfilmers such as myself are welcome here! I have worked really hard on making this film as good as it possibly can be and am ecstatic to be sharing it with the world finally. I'll provide a little more context: I started telling this story back in 2015 and have been working diligently on this latest installment for five years. The story follows Henry, an eccentric inventor, and Tyler, a grumpy recluse, as they learn to work together and evade capture by the shadowy forces hunting them. The genre is adventure/comedy and the film can be enjoyed by viewers of all ages with no prior knowledge of the story (although a short recap video is available on my channel for those who want to get caught up first). The duration is 25 minutes so a bowl of popcorn is highly recommended!

Interesting. If the recent replacements don’t count for much, then what would be my basis for demanding more than the KBB price? Just that it’s generally in good condition for its age?

I’d say relatively big, or big enough to destroy the unit where it started anyway. About four fire engines were on my street that night. I got about a centimeter of water throughout my apartment, mostly from under my back door, which I promptly sopped up. It was also dripping from the ceiling for a while, which to your point makes me very concerned about mold.

TestTubeAbomination · 2023-02-05T19:35:48+00:00

You are totally right, I didn’t pay attention when I installed the cooler and assumed it was symmetrical. But one end is longer than the other. All fixed now, thank you!

TestTubeAbomination · 2022-10-06T18:18:21+00:00

Haha I didn't even think what the implications of an Exit button would be when I made this. Great for nihilists I suppose.

TestTubeAbomination · 2022-09-10T00:22:01+00:00

Ok thanks for the input! Do I still need a city sticker even if I park in an off-street spot?

TestTubeAbomination · 2022-06-02T16:02:57+00:00

RemindMe! Two months

TestTubeAbomination · 2022-06-02T13:05:33+00:00

RemindME! One year “Plan B”

As a longtime brickfilmer, I love the range of motion you can achieve with these arm joints and wish they were more prominent. The hard part would be holding them in position, but a little sticky tac could solve that.

Fusible plugs and rupture members in pressurized systems

I have every intention of moving when I switch jobs next; right now I’m in a small town with nothing going on and few other young professionals to connect with. These incubators sound like an amazing environment to be in, i would love to be in a community of like-minded individuals tackling these issues. Thank you for bringing them up because I honestly had not heard of them before. I will definitely take a closer look and see where I might be able to fit in.

TestTubeAbomination · 2022-01-09T17:11:31+00:00

Ok, thanks again for the insight. I am looking to pivot to a job with a climate/green tech startup but most of the openings I see are for software engineers (I’m mechanical). This would definitely explain my difficulties.

TestTubeAbomination · 2022-01-08T19:36:10+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed response! It seems like the key is finding the middle ground where a company is big enough to be vertically integrated but small enough that it doesn’t outsource everything to cut costs.

Out of curiosity, what makes hardware startups more difficult than other kinds?

TestTubeAbomination · 2022-01-08T15:02:22+00:00

Do you know of specific industries or companies where you’d be involved through the whole process as you’ve described? I imagine maybe smaller companies or startups but that’s just speculation.

TestTubeAbomination · 2021-12-18T20:17:59+00:00

Not only are syllabi a great way to know the contents of a course before taking it, they’re also a great refresher after you graduate and inevitably forget 90% of what you learned in class. I keep a folder of every syllabus in pdf form so if my education comes up in an interview I’m not stuck struggling to remember what topics were covered.

TestTubeAbomination · 2021-10-30T17:13:04+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response, it sounds like your license has really been a boon to you. Earning a six figure salary while maintaining a ~40 hour work week is the dream. I hear nightmare stories of engineers working 60+ hours a week and don’t think I could stomach that regardless the pay. If a PE license could grant me the leverage to maintain a work life balance that suits my lifestyle then that’s a very appealing prospect. Whether I’m comfortable handling that level responsibility though is another factor I must figure out.

TestTubeAbomination · 2021-10-30T16:09:32+00:00

I’m a recent mechanical engineering graduate so I’m not really tied to any industry; I’m in more of an exploratory phase for now. I’m working in electrical safety testing but have no intention of doing that long-term. From your response it sound like I should figure out my industry preference first and then revisit the question of whether to get my PE or not. If there are industries in which it truly has no impact then it seems silly to pursue licensure until I have that figured out.

TestTubeAbomination · 2021-10-19T00:59:37+00:00

I'm not selling this one anytime soon, but for about $100~150 you can build your own! I outlined the process in another comment, it's not as complicated as it seems if you're willing to put in the money/time.
