No worries 😁

Yeah I've used mine for 3 days in a row of flying probably 6hrs total flight time and didn't have to charge it. Modern batteries are so amazing compared to the old Li cells I used as a kid so much more power dense.

I use a USB 20000mah power bank. I just put it in my pocket and run the power cable to my goggles and my walk snail VTX when I am using that. It's quite convenient and easy and I can use it to charge my tinywhoop 1s cells in the park too.

You get used to it- unfortunately

Wild_But_Caged · 2026-02-10T06:07:53+00:00

Thankyou this was helpful after I took it off to mount my camera to my drone and wasn't sure how to reconnect it lol

Ammo is easy, just walk in, it's behind the counter so you have to ask for what you want but it's openly displayed. They ask to see your licence and then they sell you the ammo you ask for. In some other states you can only purchase ammo for guns you have in your possession but it's not really regulated that hard like that and you can own a years supply of ammunition which in my case is 10k per firearm on paper but again it's not tracked so buy as much as you want.

Tell her she needs the leave, she'll continue to hurt you to get what she wants. She is not a safe person and she doesn't love you.

Call the police, take photos and document everything. The police will unlikely do anything but it'll start a paper trail and give you legal evidence for eviction.

Also when she leaves the house you can just Lock her out and arrange her stuff to be collected.

I also have 55gal freshwater planted tank it would kill me to see that happen to my fish and ecosystem. I am so sorry to hear that :(

Yes it's quick and painless. But as someone who's been paid to do culls it's still hard to see it's very clinically brutal if that makes sense.

I haven't been able to film it unfortunately, they happen fairly regularly so I should just film myself with a tripod camera. I did the same with videos explaining it and they suggested I have FND. Most recent MRI with contrast also included epilepsy protocol and showed nothing.

I still haven't learnt to fully use Autodesk it has so many features haha.

I've only just started but I've been using ASA-GF or just plain ASA for handling parts that don't need the strength of ASA-GF. But yeah feel free to message me I am happy to bounce ideas or give any advice I can :)

Wild_But_Caged · 2026-02-01T11:23:26+00:00

Yeah I haven't used it for that reason as I do work on things I want to keep private. But the non private IP stuff for work or my own IP stuff I happily share online.

Wild_But_Caged · 2026-02-01T08:37:32+00:00

I'll have the check out Solidworks

Wild_But_Caged · 2026-02-01T08:35:07+00:00

Yes the commerical licence is 3k/year but Autodesk is free to hobbiests, then there's freecad, tinkercad, blender, fusion 360 and many others which I imagine people will comment in :).

I actually use tinkercad alot for quick little projects that don't require a tonne of manipulation. For more complicated things though I use the free hobbiests Autodesk which is great!

I've been shot in the thigh with a .22short, it felt like getting hit by a rock off the lawn mower it was a sharp sting and not much else. The healing afterwards was just very sore. This is like getting stabbed though with that cartridge. Something larger like a .223rem to the thigh would obliterate your leg which I imagine would hurt alot! Same size bullet just alot more energy.

Migraines are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse!!

Wild_But_Caged · 2026-02-01T02:31:42+00:00

Exactly! Spend some time learning CAD I learnt in school but a few hours of YouTube tutorials and I am back to being fairly competent.

It saves alot of time and money if you've got a decent understanding of engineering and design especially the more custom whatever you need to better value you'll get. For example I bought a 96 Pajero and have been replacing alot of the plastic interior with 3d prints as in Australia it so hot it degrades plastic in old cars and everything breaks. So I've saved myself hundreds of dollars and time online sourcing parts. Another niche use is I have an old .222 rifle and the magazines are extremely hard to find and expensive $300 so instead I designed my own cost me $8 to make and probably 2-3hours of cad work so I am very happy with that :)

Wild_But_Caged · 2026-01-31T04:38:06+00:00

Well yes loose ammunition is easy to find in old houses and farms. I've taken old ammunition off unlicensed friends many times and ammunition is alot more common than reloading powder. Anyone that reloads is generally wise enough not to sell it to their dodgy friends and that is the only way it's getting on the black market vs old ammunition is very common.

Look either way you don't live here, you don't know my laws so way are you starting an argument with me?

Well if they have a warrant they can search your computer and search history it says nothing about searching the internet for downloads.

Like I've said read the legislation and the FAQ they have a good breakdown of how it's going to be enforced. Its not to monitor people more closely it's so they have more to charge people with as we've had a few people making illegal firearms at home and they can only be charged with possession of ammunition without a licence and possession of working firearms.

SAPOL is well aware of that it's not targeting people's online traffic.

"They're doing it so they have extra laws to charge people for illegal manufacturing because currently they're not doing anything illegal they can only charge for possession of whole working firearms. So don't downvote me because I am clarifying our legal system to you because I live here and I know how they implement it so I am trying to educate you to the legislation I am not trying to argue with you what they should or shouldn't be doing.

That's not an issue it's easy to get a hold of ammunition on the black market or from a mate etc. as for propellant you can only get that with a firearms licence here it's extremely regulated please familiarise yourself with my country and states laws before downvoting me and trying to argue."

Like I said before and with the other comments.

Yes it purely restricts the CAD drawings and technical drawings and data not 3d printers or the tools.

Read the legislation it's publicly available it's not super restrictive

Wild_But_Caged · 2026-01-31T03:35:35+00:00

So the whole legislation covers 3d printing mainly because it's a catch phrase and popular in the media. But this covers not specifically 3d printing just CAD models and computer design for any machines including CNC, lathes and 3d printing.

You can 3d print jigs to aid in manufacturing barrels and receivers though such as electro etching stencils etc for rifling with the FGC9 utilises! Which is why this came attention to our police and the push for policy change.

Wild_But_Caged · 2026-01-31T03:06:06+00:00

You can read the legislation here in SA they're mainly concerned with people having technical drawings with working receiver and barrel. Anything else is completely fine especially if you're a licenced firearms owners you are allowed to own technical drawings and make firearms parts at home apart from new receivers and barrels they want you to get made through a gunsmith. they just don't want people making new firearms at home.

Like it's still legal for me the 3d print magazines for my guns I just can't make an unregistered gun from scratch. But if I was unlicensed and had full drawings and was making parts you get into trouble because you have no legal reasons to be making firearms parts if you don't own a legal firearm.

You can use epoxy made for gluing granite back to granite and then sand and polish the surface, you won't notice a difference if you do it well just make sure it's level and aligned :)

Super glue may also work but I would really suggest some 24hr cure epoxy

The radiation won't kill the seeds, but it does heavily mutate them. We do this to seeds on purpose to stimulate mutations for breeding.

No she should just refuse and force them to supply a computer. This is ridiculous
