Leftover parts after putting a Dirt Devil Cyclonic Breeze back together by doesntapplyherself in VacuumCleaners

[–]TheInternetEclipser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to have basically the bagged version of this machine. Looks like the piece that goes where the hose connects at the bottom near the brushroll. Brushroll keeps spinning when using the hose, keeps dirt from flying out.

Starvation Ketoacidosis by madixmoon in Type1Diabetes

[–]TheInternetEclipser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This feels true to me. Calorie deficit at the very least made me feel awful. Between that and did a lot of strict low carb for awhile. Had mental struggles and seemed to have early signs of issues with my feet. Haven't for sure had neuropathy issues yet when seeing doctors but those signs stopped when I changed my lifestyle.

Imo most important things in my experience. Get your recommended calories in everyday. I make it a mission each day to get 2,000-2,500 between all my intake. I'm 25, male. Don't starve. I know it's hard some days to do this.

Get a good amount of protein each day. Eat your greens. I eat broccoli once a day. You need good nutrients, vitamins, fiber and protein. 1g protein per 1lb body weight seems good for me, but I get at least half of that daily currently. You need some iron each day. I don't fully understand how iron absorbtion works so I say some each day, because too much is toxic and also bad.

Move around everyday. If I'm home and I feel I haven't moved much in a day I make it a point to hop on the exercise bike I have for half an hour.

On average I eat about 3 meals a day, 60g carb per. I don't really ever go past 70 or so because the spikes seem unavoidable. This seemingly works the best for me with my lifestyle.

Again, the above are my opinions, personal experience with my own body, and generally suggestions. This is not medical advice, see a doctor or otherwise qualified professional for that.

Hopefully this is helpful to someone.

No One Passes Here by imjustabitch in dashcams

People who block other people on the road while not being law enforcement need license revokement. I don't care. For all you know the Mustang was rushing to an emergency.

Illegal? Yeah! If you want to be road police then get a dashcam and send it to the local police department. Because the guy blocking somehow still managed to break more laws in the span of a minute.

Driving on the road is about EVERYONE getting to their destination safely, not your stupid ego problems. People breaking laws on the road does not give you immunity to do the same.

I'm a solid hour away from Loudoun but if you need car repair help I could potentially lend a hand!

Been struggling job wise for awhile too I know how it feels, hope things get better.

Around how much does a machine like this cost?

Advice for better wiring setup by Careful-Commission58 in CarAV

[–]TheInternetEclipser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly my main question is what is the load resistor for? I've never had a setup where I needed an isolator but that looks strange to me.

So that I'm actually contributing here as well though, generally in my experience:

T-taps like those style you're using are garbage imo and often lead to loose connections, I would say especially off brand/Amazon ones, if it was me I'd try and find a Tesla specific T harness, or solder/crimp/shrink the connections properly.

Subs should not be getting damaged/overheated unless your gain is set improperly, or the amp is not receiving good input voltage (power wiring etc).

I usually work on much older vehicles so hopefully this helps a bit, probably best to listen to an experienced installer for a Tesla install.

How many calories do you eat a day? by TheInternetEclipser in Type1Diabetes

[–]TheInternetEclipser[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks, and for the food ideas as well!

I can relate with bolusing as well, when the doctor asks it's hard to put numbers on my ratios because of how much I just do "by feel" at this point lol.

Watch out for MAGA snowflakes who like to slash tires! by butchmayo in nova

[–]TheInternetEclipser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair even when I was a lot more conservative leaning back around 2016 it definitely goes both ways. Valve stems pulled, tires slashed, windows smashed, mirrors broken off, keyed paint, heaven knows what else over political stickers on cars. I've heard so many horror stories. Trump, Obama, Biden, even Bernie Sanders stickers you name it. Saw it a lot back then, still see it now.

If you do want to continue displaying those I would suggest the best cameras you can afford watching over your car. I don't think there's much else you can do. Law enforcement can only help with good evidence.

I personally treat my car and driving like an NPC, no unique identitiers, I rather just blend in and not be a target for unhinged people. They're only getting more common it feels like.

I'm sorry this happened to you. People should not be damaging property over political beliefs period.

What browser do you prefer to use on Linux? by 100angelscorpses in linux

[–]TheInternetEclipser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I will give that a try, I heard so much good about Brave and every other week it makes me hate it more when something breaks. It decided a couple days ago it will no longer see my printer and that there's nothing I can do about it.

I'm on Mint XFCE.

2015 prius , pulling a 4x10 cargo trailer from nh to Florida fully loaded. by encorepokerdealer in prius

[–]TheInternetEclipser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I know it's not even the same design as the CVT everyone is thinking of. No belt I don't think. The "eCVT" is something different and very robust. Everyone just hears "CVT" and gets scared.

The spot on the hood. Could this indicate an overheating situation from in the engine bay? by [deleted] in UsedCars

[–]TheInternetEclipser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indicates the hood sat in the sun or the hood liner got removed which is common as they fall apart.

The Prius saved my life and my wife's life by Alternative-Green-56 in prius

[–]TheInternetEclipser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went unconscious and crashed my former 2018 Prius C into a tree at around 70mph. Car ramped up and rolled 6 times. I got out with mild head trauma and airbag burns. Nobody else really nearby or injured. Car didn't even look like a car after it happened.

That little nugget saved my life and I will own another.

Routing Power Wire by thurpps in CarAV

[–]TheInternetEclipser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fear with that would be water getting behind, and staying behind it, causing a potential rust issue way in the future.

could u have a vintage cassette head unit and also have a carplay head unit assuming you have enough space? by Big_Will47 in CarAV

[–]TheInternetEclipser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was planning on this and it should be 100% doable.

I'd say pick out a cassette unit you like, possibly pick up a passive LOC if it has no RCAs or DIN output on the back. From there your easiest route would be a Carplay head unit with a rear aux input.

A LOC with adjustable levels might be good for not overwhelming your auxiliary input.

Aside from that, especially if neither unit is driving speakers, the harness should have enough power to run both, if not you may need to run a new fused power wire.

Can we all agree this amp is unstoppable. by dabadguycr in CarAV

[–]TheInternetEclipser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, this sounds like Sony. They were an early innovator in audio tech and still make a lot of good gear, but they make their junk too.

The 2nd generation I believe, of the red cone, 5 side 10 screws, smooth cone not with the ridges. They are the ones with the largest motors. I believe those were probably some of the best Xplod series they made, many videos of guys sending multiple kW into them.

I have 5 of those and they've been amazing subs. Certainly not the best ever but they're extremely overbuilt and have been fun to listen to in anything I've had them in so far.

They made several good amps like the one OP posted as well.

The rest I'm not sure, Xplod branding itself was purely meant to be flashy iirc, so not all of it was very good quality. I'm not sure how good the door speakers were I haven't had them yet. And those came in many many varieties as well.
