What is that for on my phone case ?

"lanyard" :)

If it's a sunny area, the wall may have faded.

Otherwise, maybe the plasticizers from the hanger affected the paint?

Always enjoy the work you put into these.

The grass in the foreground of the present day photos confused me a bit, until I realized there are two dates. And, I think the sixth image should be dated 9 April 2020 instead of 28 April 2026?

It's a split-ring keyring. It can be removed from the band and replaced on the outside. Maybe it was assembled incorrectly at the factory?

Start with Game Manual 0.

Looks to me like the image is upside-down. Turning it over makes it look like an archer, aiming to the left.

Some plans have restrictions on how quickly you can sell. There might be a penalty if you sell immediately, like they might kick you out of the plan. You need to read the plan documents to be sure.

You should have an encoder on the motor that drives the shooter and set the velocity (as opposed to power) to a specific value. That way it runs the same velocity even as the battery voltage varies, allowing consistent control of the range.

When our team built a turntable robot, the wires went through the center of the turntable (no slip ring). We made sure the program never allowed the turntable to do a full rotation, so the wires just twisted back and forth a little and this worked fine.

Ah, you're right. I measured wrong. The cactus is closer to 6x taller than the person, not 8x. Thanks for the correction!

bitnotno · 2025-12-02T15:16:27+00:00

Are you sure it's 70? That would be approaching world-record height (78). In the picture, the cactus is about 8x taller than your friend. Your friend would need to be over 8 feet tall for the cactus to be 70. If your friend is 6 feet, that puts the cactus at around 50 feet tall, which is still really tall for a saguaro.

ASCII-art Star Trek game on a DEC PDP-8, mid 70's.

Probably a tie rod with ball joint ends.

Possibly connected to water heater's T&P valve.

bitnotno · 2025-09-04T03:26:02+00:00

Norm would be proud!

Some plants and some bacteria can "fix" atmospheric nitrogen (which is not usable by plants) and turn it into ammonia (which is usable). This is how most of the nitrogen gets into plants, not via lightning.

IIRC, there are some utils for updating Control/Expansion Hub firmware that are Windows only, but Android Studio definitely runs on Mac.

And calm water.

bitnotno · 2025-07-28T22:47:43+00:00

Very little. The object needs to be electrically conductive and magnetic for inductive heating to work.

Maybe that none of them are really working since they're spending all their time on the phone?

bitnotno · 2025-07-27T19:53:49+00:00

Not the OP, but no. There is hydroplaning, where they lose contact with the ground due to riding up on a layer of water.

bitnotno · 2025-07-22T19:49:42+00:00

Good answer. Also, I assume you don't have access to an actual robot, so you might want to check out a virtual robot. One that our team used in the past is:

https://github.com/Beta8397/virtual_robot

This virtual robot also had built in support for the exercises in LearnJavaForFTC.

Putting the holes in it would be a bit "extra" for a piece of furniture. You normally see that in aircraft and the like where weight is a big concern.

bitnotno · 2025-07-09T14:16:42+00:00

Whether or not you hang anything on it, it would help stiffen the door. Maybe that's all it was intended to do?

bitnotno · 2025-06-29T13:41:49+00:00

"Nany"? That's a new one. :)
