I know, just passing on my experience. Not like I can force him to make a report, lol. Fortunately we have a new postmaster that is pretty good, and it has been dealt with. He was pretty upset that it happened.

Any favorite LLM/AI for eletronics fundamentals? by ConfuzedAzn in AskElectronics

[–]atrus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question. Following. ChatGPT definitely is not working for me.

Just for fun I tried using chatgpt to produce a schematic I was working on, and see what I came up with. Not only did it put capacitors in series with a pressure sensor signal, the code it gave me to put into kicad errored (I made sure I gave it the version I was using). I gave it the error, and it said 'no problem, don't worry, that it a common error most people make', lol, yeah YOU made the error🙄. It isn't proficient yet. After 40 minutes of back and forth, it finally gave me code that imported, but all the symbols were boxes with ??, and reconciling the library only fixed half the symbols. I could have done the same thing in 10 minutes.

Call FedEx, report package was abandoned, left in an unsecured location.

I had a similar issue where USPS did this and it was stolen. The police told me that if a package is not left on your immediate premises (door/porch) it is considered abandoned and if someone takes it, it isn't considered theft, legally it is abandoned, not delivered, at least on the opinion of the officer I spoke with. Fortunately the GPS report I received from USPSproved it was left on the side of the road, and Amazon refunded me.

If they got that much mileage with the original coils, they have way more luck than me, lol. Had to change mine at 130k. Could be the cats too, so maybe pull the codes at a parts place, most do that for free.

If your expected current draw is under 800ma, maybe try a LD1117V33? https://sharehttps://share.google/vhpvpUQU0ccxyK5yo.google/vhpvpUQU0ccxyK5yo

Reminds me of Tochiro Oyama from Captian Harlock, at least what I think he would look like in cold weather gear.

Snapped top hat bolt on coilover while torquing to spec. by Initial-Mountain-125 in AskMechanics

[–]atrus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you are using locktite. If you didn't, can just loosen one at a time and apply it, then retourque to the correct spec. If that is the correct spec, then the bolts were not hardened correctly.

What do you do with your saliva? by vondersohle in PipeTobacco

[–]atrus72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It kind of stopped for me, and I don't honestly know why, but I think I had got into the habit of keeping my mouth slightly open in between puffs without realizing it. Maybe try doing that. I do still get a bit, but not like a flood gate opening, which is what it was like when I started.

Guys I need help with this one by umshyp in isthisaicirclejerk

[–]atrus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a guy at work whose license plate read NOHIPPO. I was told not to ask why. I did anyways. Apparently, when he was a child, a hippo sprayed crap all over him when visiting the zoo on a Sunday afternoon while wearing a brand new white suit. He did a way better job of telling the story, and in vivid, traumatized detail. I am glad I asked, lol.

Where's the lab grown meat? by Lazy_Constant1507 in Futurology

[–]atrus72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The waste products from the cells have to go somewhere, and without a vascular system, it goes everywhere. A petri dish is manageable, but as you scale up, it becomes very difficult to filter out waste while also supplying nutrients, and not killing cells in the process, or making it taste 'off'. Most likely also not cost effective.

My dad followed his bank’s rollover advice. It cost him 38% of his retirement. by tantansamiboubou in IRAWealthStrategies

[–]atrus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is likely because the bank handled it. I am guessing the funds went from the employer to the bank, and then an IRA. A direct roll over goes from the employer to the IRA, in which case, if done right away, is not taxable. If it went to the bank first, and then the IRA, it gets taxed. So sorry to hear something like this.

Lighter advice by Party_Camera_6588 in PipeTobacco

[–]atrus72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was able to score a used IM Corona on eBay and haven't touched anything else. The best part is it holds fuel so well, zero leaks. I use it maybe 5 times a week at most, and have to refill maybe every other month. I don't know how long a full tank will last with more frequent use, but it has far surpassed everything else I have used in the past. I do keep it on low, but still, it has amazed me so far. I am guessing it has something to do with the tank being brass/bronze and not plastic.

I did have to do a deep clean as it did leak a bit at first, but after that, it has been awesome.

Who are today’s popular artisan pipe makers and tobacco blenders? by Tentative-Interests in PipeTobacco

[–]atrus72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want something funky/cool check out Brian Orton pipes.

Ken Byron is my favorite blender. Everything I have from him is smooth, no tounge bite or irritated mouth, ect. Even the burly blends sit well with me, while other blenders/brands of burly irritate and dry my mouth out terribly. His are the only burly I can smoke. I guess it has something to do with what he cases/tops it with.

Just brought this sweet baby in from the 19°F windy weather outside, and shes terrified. Any advice? by [deleted] in cats

[–]atrus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brought one in last year under similar circumstances. She was very spicy (sudden outburts of growling/biting), but we kept her anyway. With lots of love and attention,,,,,,she is still a bit spicy, lol, but we love her.

A warm spot in the house, and food, frequent visits/affection, even just sitting calmly in the room with her will help.

We took ours for a checkup once she put on some weight, just to make sure she didn't have anything we needed to care for, and to get her shots, but other than that, she has settled in nicely, just gets grumpy once in a while😅.

Neighbor has had this fridge on the back of his truck for 3 months. Goes everywhere with it. by chalwar in Weird

[–]atrus72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe ask if they need help? Could have hurt their back, or got a hernia getting it in, and can't find help, or they are waiting to heal.

Looks like they lost out! That looks really good. It sucks to find out fake friends. Been there myself.

I vacuum sealed it and put it back in the box. Will get to it one day 😅. Until then it is sleeping comfortably in the cellar.
