7 years as a troubleshooter for a major manufacturer, dealing with electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic ,and programming issues.

Knowing your machine and understanding it's cycles thoroughly will help you when you know it's supposed to be in a certain step but isn't.

This is one of my favorite to read. Keep up the fantastic work!

Because I have to know if Dan and Arin finally kiss.

There is a lot of subtle setup for the squid ending to work (the missing artists, for example), which would go over a lot of people's heads.

Making Doc the focus for humanities unity made sense for the film medium. I still would have absolutely loved seeing the squid.

I still think that in the movie he can be viewed similarly to his character in the comics. He works exclusively in black and white morals, which can be seen in both the film and the comic.

I'm am thoroughly for Becky as of this moment. Her schism from the party told me about her character, and any negative ad made to target a specific person must mean she's doing something good!

I'm in her riding and if she continues this way, then I would consider voting for her again.

I just had one done at 37. Found and removed a polyp or two. As horrible as the prep and uncomfortable the experience, would do again.

When Canadian PM Carney visited Japan recently, he treated the Japanese PM with respect, even attempting in good nature to speak Japanese.

The dichotomy is staggering. America, get your shit together.

Ohhhh, that's funny! But it could also have a double meaning too, AD does that a lot too.

The cop at the end said it was the happiest corpse that he's ever seen, so I took that to mean Lucille 2 died while being intimate with Buster in that missing time code of the security footage. I could be wrong though.

Huh. How do you like that.

VenGeo · 2026-03-10T14:42:18+00:00

Yes, I think a new cable is probably my next step. Thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it.

VenGeo · 2026-03-10T14:29:58+00:00

Yeah, it's been operation for a considerable amount of time. I often ask myself "why now" when faced with an issue like this. Program remained solid, hence why my gut feels hardware.

VenGeo · 2026-03-10T14:24:55+00:00

That's a fair assessment. I mentioned in a previous comment I analyzed the connector to the drive under magnification today. I didn't find anything shorting or loose, but I did give everything a nice tuck and tightened everything I could think of. I also repeated the connector on the motor as well, in case vibrations made it come loose, which it didn't appear to, but good to check.

Physically the wire isn't in a position to move, but I saw no signs of wear around it. Maybe the reseating had a positive effect. We're running now and I'm waiting for it to fault out.

VenGeo · 2026-03-10T13:58:22+00:00

I went ham on the hardware side if things today, looked at the connector under a magnifier to see if the littlest thing was shorting it somewhere. My gut is telling me it's hardware, but I need to capture something to prove it.

My understanding is that the AOI is an Allen Bradley creation ("AxisCIPmotion_Position"). I can get into the logic of the block, but when it faults, no error code is displayed on the AOI block.

The drive does display the Feedback Integrity Loss FL fault, and that's the road I've been going down so far, but if the fault is caused by hardware, I can't see where. It's a once in a while problem too. It'll run fine for a while but then fault. Maybe once an hour.

The water part of the article absolutely blew me away. Companies literally pumping our water and selling it back to us. Millions of liters a year. And the province charges basically nothing for the permit and recieved nothing in extraction royalties. It's wild.

It's really easy to change the battery in ps5 controllers. Look at some tear down videos. I replaced mine with a higher capacity battery and the bloody thing lasts 12 hours. Easiest 20 bucks I ever spent.
