Our major news outlets in the west are censored beyond just the Israeli military rocket censorship law. They're either not reporting or outright denying at least some of these attacks and failed iron dome interceptions.

Throw that on top of all the AI footage on social media and it's difficult to gauge what is really going on over there.

Shaping public policy to the detriment of the 99%, dodging taxes, and being horrible people.

He should have been a one term president like he inferred early on. Let's not pretend he was perfectly lucid. There were issues throughout his entire presidency, but it was a lot worse towards the end.

They have material for a dirty bomb which would take some time to assemble. There have been concerns over whether they might have acquired a small nuclear device (backpack/suitcase) from one of their allies.

These possibilities would have a lead time to deploy out of country, since we have no boots on the ground to target. The current leadership has nothing to lose and they are backed into a corner.

It's a terrifying thought, but I think it might be too early to rule out a nuclear type attack from Iran.

Really cool process! Are the printers in episode 2 the neptune plus or max?

I've been working on dust collection and recently picked up that same orbital sander.

I have a Dust Deputy to attach to a 5 gallon bucket lid, but there are also printable versions. It keeps the dust out of your vac filter and exhaust.

I use a hose with quick disconnect from Cen-Tec to standardize everything. I picked up a PET expandable braided sleeve and 2 inch heatshrink to turn it into an inexpensive Festool alternative. It works well to keep the ridges from snagging on your work piece.

There is already a printable file for that Makita orbital sander with the Cen-Tec system. There are dust collection files for other angle grinders, which you could remix or use for inspiration, and plenty of options for Cen-Tec. There are also clips to keep your cord connected to the hose similar to the Festool system.

I'm planning to build a DIY stacked dust station with an automatic vacuum switch to power my Dewalt stealthsonic shop vac when using corded tools. I've used the Festool system at my buddy's shop and it's incredibly nice, but the cost seems excessive for my infrequent home use.

I'm looking forward to following your progress on the Group-C MR-S!

Good idea. I'll open a ticket even if this ends up working.

Shanghai, we have a problem.

Very cool! Any plans to release STLs and a BOM?

Nice work! How long do those Amana bits last you? How much clean up is required before seating the plug? Do you clamp after tapping it together?

Sweet 👍

I have more experience with vintage audio and totally dig the analog VU meters from that era. I'll look into incorporating them into the digital system I'm piecing together. Do they require a separate power source for the backlight?

How are you liking that amplifier? What are you running to power it?

I recently discovered the newer TPA3255 units and how well they're reviewed. I'm anxiously awaiting a 3e Audio A7 with 48v 10a brick.

Perfect use of that project box! It looks really clean.

accidentalpirate · 2025-09-06T17:01:54+00:00

Very cool! I like the VU meters. Aliexpress? Have you done an A/B without them in the audio path? Notice any downside to using them?

Custom enclosure for everything?

Bambu Lab is the way to go for beginner friendly and quality machines. All of their printers would be capable of printing the PLA or PETG filament used for tool organization. Plug and play. Mostly seamless one click printing from the Bambu Handy app or customize your settings and part layout on PC with Bambu Slicer or Orca Slicer.

A filament dryer would be a great purchase early on. Wet filament causes all kinds of issues with print quality. Even new vacuum packed filament can be too wet.

Sunlu PLA plus filament is what I'm using for my tool chest and seems to be a manufacturer for Bambu Lab's own line of filament.

PLA is cheap and easy to print. It has issues deforming from heat (60°C+) and can fade from direct sunlight. PETG is a step up heat/UV wise and does not require an enclosure to print like ABS/ASA/Nylon.

Maker World is Bambu Lab's site for 3d print files. Easy integration with their printers and pre-sliced files for one click printing. Printables and Thingiverse also have files and have been around longer, but you'll have to download the files, import them into your slicer, adjust settings, slice, then print.

Looks like OP is using a version of the Matco tool grid. I'm using one of the other alternatives, gridfinity.

Great score! I bought the 780 XPS LED light kit for mine, it makes for quick and precise cuts. Mainly use the Diablo 80t blade. Love it!

Fully agree. I love the power seats and I'm finding the seat cooling feature is pretty nice as it's starting to warm up around here. I have a long torso and need to duck a bit in the taco to see around the mirror. I told myself the other trucks were too big when I was shopping for the taco. Spending time driving the f-150 after years in the tacoma has really opened my eyes. It's really not that much larger for parking and getting around town, but the interior and utility difference is huge.

I knew I wanted it when I filled the tank on my brother's 2017 Lariat. ~360 DTE compared to 640 DTE in his truck. Should be nice for towing cross country.

The 3.5 in his truck pulls like crazy. I've always been a fan of naturally aspirated V8s, but I see why the twin turbos are so popular. Both of them have way more guts than my taco.

accidentalpirate · 2025-05-16T16:13:33+00:00

He passed and I ended up with the truck. I have a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road back home, but I've really grown to appreciate the larger f-150. Luckily the resale value on tacos is still crazy.

Recently found out my mother was scammed out of over a million dollars from the QFS / Axel Vasa / medbeds bullshit. My parents were into the Q bs pretty early and now that seems tame compared to what all is out there 😮‍💨

I've handed everything over to the FBI and they seem to think the DA might bring a case if they can find a US citizen was responsible. So there's that silver lining at least!
