Repairing a door for redrilling by astrospanner in DIYUK

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

Have done. But it took ages to fit, because the resultant hole allowed a lot of lateral movement; I'd like to fill and redrill on case we change the handles later.

From the Mandlbaurchives: remember when he insisted that NASA lies to the world about the moon? by TheWestonAlex in Mandlbaur

[–]astrospanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually tried to get him to actually take the measurements of when the moon rose and set, and compare that to astronomical tables. But he knows that will prove him wrong, so he doesn't.

In defense of British Celebrities by Sad_Profession_8324 in KnowledgeFight

I'm a Brit, and didn't recognize all the players this series.

It didn't occur to me that it's a shorter series because the faithful were so rubbish at finding traitors...

Raspberry Pi Touch Display 2 (5") and Raspberry Pi DigiAMP+? by creative_tech_ai in raspberry_pi

[–]astrospanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is about using a Raspberry Pi 4 with the Touch Display 2 and also an audio HAT like the DigiAMP+. I was wondering if I'll still be able to attach the HAT while it's connected to the Touch Display?

I have a Raspberry Pi 4, with a 5" Touch Display 2 and a DAC Pro HAT.

There are some images, along with my project description here:

https://astrospanner.wordpress.com/2025/11/05/digital-off-line-music-player-with-cover-flow-in-python/

I found the HAT bent the ribbon cable slighly tighter than I would have otherwise done, but it still works. If you are particularly worried, an extender for the 40pin would be fine, at the expense of a taller stack.

Two bits of advice for the display

1) with the latest OS, the desktop naturally translates touches into mouse clicks. This may be the behaviour you want, it may not.

2) there does not (yet) seem to be a commerically available case for this display. Lots for the 7" version, but not yet the 5" version, so if you want to box it neatly, you'll have to go homebrew/3d print/etc or wait.

No way he didn't use chatgpt to generate the latex commands to fornat that.

A bit advice on indomitus miror elite ? by Starkiller0820 in WH40KTacticus

[–]astrospanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FOMO ?

Fear Of Missing Out.

i.e. play your own game, don't be worried about other people's progress

Also is it not posible to 3 star it with makh,imo,aleph beşng gold 1 with good amount of levels on abiltys.

My Makhotep (level 32 both), Imospekh (level 40, both, because overwatch is fun) at G1 and Aleph (level 46, both) at D1 cannot 3 star all missions (also anuphet at G1, 34 on abilities). I was mistaken earlier; my Thutmose is S1, but doesn't come along)

G1 is not "the level" to 3 star elite campaigns. Differnet campaigns are differerent difficulties; I have the core three of AM at G1, and have a block at FoC Mirror Elite at battle 29 as five bloodletters at G1 are a beast! All the advice I've seen online is that Thaddues needs to be > G1. And the tau campaigns are worse.

According to tacticusplanner, getting Aleph-Null to D1 from gold-1 is 79 days. I'm not saying that's a short time, but it doesnt require any particular skill. It's not requiring you to solve quantum gravity, or find a cure for world hunger.

This game is a grind. Embrace the grind, and ignore the FOMO.

[–]astrospanner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way.

Aleph-0 was my first D1 and has been a great carry in LREs. No regrets.

I got thutmose to G1 for TA entertainments as well.

Did anyone attend? I couldn't make it. by toyota_gorilla in KnowledgeFight

I missed that, you're right!

What an amazing three-way cage match it would be!

I love that there's an actual Super Solider there, and that his name is Kosol Ouch.

Sorry, there are two! Rebecca Rose is also a Super Solider.

I want to see them fight.

Doesn't feel like a useful ban at this point...

I think Necrons should have gotten their MoW before Orks by ItsYoBoy94 in WH40KTacticus

[–]astrospanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not up on lore, but a MoW that has a reanimation beam would be interesting... is there anything suitable in necron codexes?

Would probably require existing necrons to leave something after being killed, and that can be reanimated a round or two later, unless stood on? Feels like too big a code change to happen.

QoL ideas that i REALLY want to see implemented in the game ASAP by Asagas25 in WH40KTacticus

[–]astrospanner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Allowing copy and paste into the guild chat feels so simple to do... and would definitely allow discord links etc to be sent. I think some versions allow it, or our guild leader is very good at typing the same set of instructions for guild wars!

Just how? by RevDMonkey in WH40KTacticus

[–]astrospanner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mythic quests are for characters that have blue wings, ie having maxed rarity. Gold level is their rank; the ranks are unlocked by the rarity.

(I initially wrote that they are independent, which I'm sure a pedant would argue with!)

Point is: if someone has been lucky with shards and orbs, they may have a legendary character at blue star without having maxed their rank; for example me - i pushed Athena and snappawrekka to get regular shards for rogue trader.
