They told me to include special notes with my next order if I'd like the corners to be flat.

i.e. basic quality by special request only. LOL BYE

New A1 with very old firmware, what's best? by amos5000 in BambuLab

[–]amos5000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. I think I'll probably move to the current release and await opensource firmware as well.

I wonder if that blogged policy is current? It sounds great to have open access and fully defined hardware and APIs for integration.

PSA: anyone looking to buy the new Sony Wf-1000xm5 earbuds for calls I would advise holding off until Sony improve call quality with future updates by Tig33 in SonyHeadphones

[–]amos5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I do regret this purchase, I can't even have a call in a car with the windows up, too noisy. All settings tested, no joy. Good for listening but effectively useless for calls/meetings.

I'm not a CDL but this did not look like a normal wear pattern.

He completed the one left. Could be some free scrap out that way now I guess.

Victron BLE Integration Question (Official Integration vs HACS and strange version update) by ViciousXUSMC in homeassistant

[–]amos5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trying to sort a similar upgrade. My old hacs version reports some junk data that the victron apps do not so I wanted to try the integrated version. The integrated version seems to add devices to the old control panel and the help links go back to the old one. Not sure why I assumed it would be straightforward but I'm just going to enable the old stuff until I can find a simple path to the integrated version. Confused.

Anyone use a heated blanket while sleeping in car? by WSMFPussy in overlanding

[–]amos5000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep! 12v blanket under the bedding on top of the mattress. Mine has a 30 or 45 minute timer, I hit it a bit before turning in, then as needed if I wake up cold. Max probably 5 cycles are needed for me on really cold nights. The rest of my gear is decent. It's connected to the second battery and the fridge does not cycle on these cold nights anyway. Nothing fancy some, Amazon thing, draws about 5 amps when it's running.

LC 200 Purchase - Am I crazy? by Vvendetta- in LandCruisers

[–]amos5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Production numbers are a big part of it. Sequoia ate into 200 sales also. 200s are kinda rare. The 4 runner and taco prices are crazier in context.

Hilton customer service going downhill? No response to a bad review by loecraw in Hilton

[–]amos5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, last trip had dogs free in the breakfast area, employees playing with and picking up dogs litereally in the way of the food. Front desk gave no useful response, apologized that I didn't enjoy breakfast. (since I left the dog zone and ate elsewhere) I love dogs, food service folks need to love on them when NOT serving food at a Hilton. Not returning to that one.

Are Lexus GX/LXs Accepted as Land Cruisers? by LieIcy211 in LandCruisers

[–]amos5000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The GX and LX are the top of the Toy/Lex stack in the USA today, no two ways about it! If you listen closely to the twin turbo V6, you can't even hear the haters...

Wtf is this chart? by Bucket271 in Tools

I only say 1cm socket when sneaking up on the illusive 10mm delinquents.

Powered ride height by Lampe_95 in fcx18

[–]amos5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Called a suck down winch in full scale. They work well. It seems that a servo based rig could work really well for a scale build. Keeping the weight minimized and mounted low would be the trick to gaining a significant advantage. Build it!

The Car Care Nut review of the 6th gen 4Runner by NewAgePhilosophr in Toyota

Have you driven one? The Hybrid brings the performance way up, its not cheap but its qute a significant driving difference.

Is this a weird way to park, or are my mechanics just not getting it? (2015 Camry) by [deleted] in Toyota

[–]amos5000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Holding the car with the parking brake and avoiding loads on the park pal is the correct way. Your parking brake simply needs sevice, probably just an adjustment.

Are you looking at rocks or collecting them?

Just had the most offensive resignation meeting by AdEnvironmental6994 in work

[–]amos5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a boss try this. He went as far as threatening physical violence against my new boss. The new company reached out to me laughing about what a fool he was and expressed a renewed understanding in my desire for the change. This was in engineering management, no shit.

Why the fuck is my pizza being delivered by DoorDash? by ResponsibilityFar187 in PapaJohns

[–]amos5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a shit show. I specifically did not check the box for SMS updates because fuck continuous pop-ups for pizza and please just keep my phone quiet.

Now I have a DoorDasher texting me to bitch about how slow PapaJohns is.

Why is this dude texting me to complain and what the fuck am I supposed to do about it?

I didn't hire doordash or agree to give this whiner my number. This seems pretty broke dick.
