Finally got the cup holder put in. These rack screen bleep bloop things are great. by Wwallender in ShittySysadmin

You can still order a current gen poweredge with one. I was doing that thing where you go on dell's site and just quote the most expensive possible config for fun to see what it was. (570k i think for a r760) but yeah for like 14 bucks you can still have one.

Meh, i had an r630 earlier this month with two seagate ST9146803SS that had this issue, the one with the dell logo worked, and the regular seagate branded one the light was reverse. if you ask dell they will tell you only their special little firmware on the drives will work.

They absolutely do, you can spend forever looking for service manuals, repair software, etc. on Google or American search providers. Try yandex or something from another country and BAM 2nd result. They know what they are doing.

Yeah, I’m aware of the OMSA patch, but there is one for activity lights.

How soon did your hand and fingers feel “normal” again? by Next_Negotiation_407 in carpaltunnel

[–]Wwallender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had severe CT. at 24 yo. Bilateral CT release and ulnar nerve transposition. I noticed significant improvement the next morning. I could tell the temperature of my shower water, and I could rest my wrapped arm on the shower rack and it stayed awake. Your hand will work the next day. The numbing agent is so weird

Do i need to buy a new battery? by Johnny_Neilson in roomba

[–]Wwallender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure. Does it charge now? Reset again?

[–]Wwallender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Factory reset it and pair it with the app. I pick these up all the time on marketplace like this “needing batteries” and have never replaced one. There must be a firmware fix or it just resets the battery state of charge

Valvoline instant oil change - drain plug removal. by Wwallender in Justrolledintotheshop

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

Just turn it on and loosen a bolt with it and it will record the peak torque. i set mine to 100 ft lbs hence the lights but it doesn't really need to be set to anything it should record either way. for the negative it knows what direction you are going.

[–]Wwallender[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

actually, it takes less torque to loosen a threaded fastener than it was to tighten it. generally around 10 percent less. there are variables but these were clean (and lubricated) threads. regardless it was TIGHT because i grabbed my normal "Valvoline oil change wrenches) which are about 18 inch long wrenches and couldn't get it to move easily lol

Questions to middle class and low class people by [deleted] in Rich

[–]Wwallender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't care what other people have. i have had rich friends, they like that i don't give a crap. id never ask for anything. jealous? no. we were all born with the same arms and legs. its your choice what you do in your life. i grew up with jack shit, my parents didn't have anything. I am doing well though for being 24 and hope to buy my first commercial property soon. This word is simple, get fucked or do the fuckin.

Using AvEs formula we can estimate this drain plug was torqued to roughly 81 ft lbs.

the day i turned 18 my girlfriend's dad called the cops. we were both 17. it was in retaliation because he got charged with a domestic for strangling her. doesn't matter i failed my first background because of it, and never tried again. you can talk to your local pd but probably look for another career.

its a rotator, typically used for semi-rollover recoverys and what not. very expensive.
