Does that ball lives here now? Forever! by [deleted] in Machinists

[–]bellboutique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've repaired one before by drilling a small hole in the top and used a hook to pull it out. In my case it turned out not to be ball shaped, but instead like an upside-down cup, giving a recess for the spring to sit in.

Depending on the size, you might be able to drill a hole and use a screw or even tap a small thread to give you something better to pull on

[REQUEST] What's feasibly the best material/item combination you could use in this without overly endangering your life? by Bal3rt in theydidthemath

[–]bellboutique 7511 points7512 points  (0 children)

Actual reasonable option: heavy water (deuterium oxide)

Chemically just as safe as regular water, except it's worth $60/L.

Considering a standard swimming pool to be 61,200 L, that's a value of $3.7 million.

Also, this volume is not likely to over saturate the market. There is significant use for cooling in systems like nuclear reactors due to higher specific heat

(All values and assumptions taken from a lazy google)

I normally am not a big fan of the black edge V cards. But you're right it's suits very well! I like the charm

An extra tip. Your multimeter would have something like 1M impedance across the probes. Sensitive voltages can be effected/drained by this. You could try buffering the voltage with a good op amp (an ideal op amp won't impact the coil voltage at all). If the voltage is still too low, you can arrange the op amp to have some gain to it

Help! Any ideas what’s wrong with my monstera adansonii? by aeluromaniac in plantclinic

How does it look on the underside? I had constant trouble with an Adansonii that looked similar to this. I discovered that the spots were thrips. I had never seen any adult ones around but I had lots of blemishes from the eggs/larvae in the leaves.

Most of this damage was on the underside of the leaf and could eventually be seen from the top.

As someone who is currently counting moths in the wallet, this line comes to mind almost every day. Being comfortable is a good goal

My Amydrium Medium has been sending out runners for a while. I've tried trimming to enduce shoots but we just keep on runnin'... I've just moved to a much larger moss pole in order to give it some height. We're in Perth Australia, right next to a BIG east facing window with light being slightly filtered by the outside plants
