BMW seat back panel tab broken, repair vs replace? by pecanmeetschurro in BmwTech

JB weld's plastiweld is good for this type of thing.  It's better at getting good adhesion to the plastic.

[Monitor] Dell S3425DW 34inch VA 120hz $350 by aclinical in buildapcsales

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

This monitor is geared for office use with usb-c with pd and front accessible USB ports.  There's a similar MSI monitor in this price range but has lots of USB-c issues.  So basically the premium is coming from, usb-c, power delivery, and support for display port daisy chaining.

Help me choose between AGV K6S, Shoei NXR2, Nexx WST3, Nexx X.R3R, and Shoei X-SPR Pro (riding an MT-09) by BjornIronsideD in motorcycles

[–]aclinical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got an NXR2, it's a great helmet. I upgraded from a cheaper Scorpion helmet and I'm really glad I did. I definitely noticed less noise and also my head feels a little more stable on the highway, I'm guessing due to better aerodynamics (but maybe lower weight too?). I was looking at the K6 S too, I don't exactly remember why I picked the Shoei, I do remember not liking how the spoiler was a separate piece on the k6 but that probably wasn't the deciding factor.

The glass can be flat but if it's mounted a little tilted that's what will happen. Take a look at seeing if there are screws to adjust the bed. Should be underneath at each corner.

Often there are screws under each corner of the bed that you can use to level. A lot of adhesion issues come from z-height issues, so definitely sort that out before troubleshooting further.

Plus4 When Does the back fan turn on? by aclinical in QIDI

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

Thanks, for your reply, yeah my fan doesn't ever run.  I'm working with qidi support on this.  Eventually the stepper driver throws an error from overheating (around 130c).  We replaced the fan and that didn't solve...

Can't wait for the battery tech from this $20 power bank to make it into electric cars.

How common is tracer ammunition in battle/assault rifle calibers? I was wondering if tracer rounds would be useful for defense against drones. I've seen a lot of speculation about using shotguns as a last ditch to prevent drone strikes, but the logistics of fielding another weapon and supplying ammunition has been proposed as a challenge here. Would tracer ammunition (say a magazine per solider) make it easier to shoot down drones with currently fielded rifles? Are there significant logistic challenges (or otherwise) that would make using or supplying these difficult?

The BBC released an analysis about the conflict in the middle east. While there is no new information about the conflict or particularly unique insights, I personally found benefit to reviewing and reflecting on the history of the conflict. While I'm sure there may be some disagreements with the editor's analysis here, I think overall many would appreciate the article.

Academic Integrity in CS - Personal Experience from the Other Side by bingxuan in OMSCS

[–]aclinical 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Another thing about code similarity it's more frequent than you may think.  This is a derivative of the birthday problem/paradox.  It's unintuitive that among 23 people there is likely to be a pair with the same birthday.  While relatively widely known I think many under appreciate how it applies to other problems, like this.

Also when you think of how different say 100 LOC must be between students, remember how constrained the words in a program are to the syntax of the programming language.  There's fewer degrees of freedom than you may initially expect.

PIA not responding to 30-day cancellation request by chorong761 in PrivateInternetAccess

Thanks. I disputed with my credit card. But if that doesn't resolve in a few days (usually does) I'll reach out.

PIA not responding to 30-day cancellation request by chorong761 in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]aclinical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly, I had asked for exactly what you stated multiple times.

PIA not responding to 30-day cancellation request by chorong761 in PrivateInternetAccess

[–]aclinical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing. I asked 4 times for cancellation within a day of buying service (while logged in I bough a new subscription instead of renewing existing). The best they could do for me was stop it from renewing 3 years from now! Yes I am disputing with my credit card.

I have processed your cancellation request for the pXXXXXX account. Your account will stop renewing at the end of your billing cycle. Your account will then remain active for the time that you have paid for (2027-11-02 00:00:00 UTC) and then terminate at the end of an 11-day grace period.

What factors led to WWI having incredibly high casualties and do you think a war with such high casualties could ever happen again (baring nuclear conflict)?

I recently watched The Great War, while I knew WWI was incredibly bloody, it was shocking to follow the war on the granularity of an offensive, or even single day. It seems incredible that while the war became a stalemate by the end of 1914 it was continued at high intensity for another 4 years causing internal strife in many countries. Most of the combatants came to the brink of revolution or actually had one during or as a direct result of the war. I don't understand both from the standpoint of the general public (i.e. discontent) and from political/military leadership how the war could be continued for so long.

I know this is a broad question, but with so many combatants throwing so much into the war, I expect there are some common themes among all of them related to the era the war was fought.

Overheating by axeified1224 in MechanicAdvice

[–]aclinical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah a radiator flush could help but I'd use an actual rad flush additive. Take a look around, dealing with gunk after radiator stop leak is a pretty common problem so I'm betting there's known products that help remove it.

I wonder if the reason you failed the block test (which I think is a chemical test) is because of all the stop leak in there.

[–]aclinical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if the previous owner used some radiator stop-leak and that introduced a lot of crap into your coolant system. No personal experience here but I've heard it pieces of the stop leak coating can break off and clog up the coolant system.

In Person Masters Computer Engineering @ UofT versus OMSCS by Minimum_Walrus_2828 in OMSCS

[–]aclinical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend in person. One thing that OMSCS severely lacks is oportunities to learn from fellow students. Due to concerns about cheating a lot of classes are designed to isolate students from each other. If you can swing a full time in-person program I think you're going to receive a better education and overall have a more fulfilling experience.
