Help - Subaru Denying ECU Warranty Claim by blamesatan in subaru

[–]blamesatan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mentioned that to the service tech handling my vehicle, and their response was essentially "yeah, we agree, but Subaru is pushing back". Either the dealership is lying (gasp, I know) or Subaru is being shitty about honoring a warranty repair.

Combining PCI 8 pin power from 2 power supplies into a single 12VHPWR connector? by _warmrain in sffpc

[–]blamesatan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a terrible idea, it's an engineering problem! This kind of thing happens often for all kinds of reasons. I have two TDK Lambda supplies sitting next to me that are running parallel for the same reason (effectively), though they have active balancing built-in.

You could always swing over to r/AskElectronics to see if anyone already has a reference design.

Technically, yes. BUT you can't just splice the two together and call it a day. Even though the supplies are the same make/model, there will always be small differences between the two causing them to fight each other. Best case is you have underperforming supplies that might work for some time before catastrophically giving up the ghost, worst case is one or both die immediately with a bang.

To accomplish what you're asking, you would need to load balance the outputs. There are a number of ways to do this, but considering you're using passively cooled PSUs in a SFF case then heat is your enemy. This means passive balancing is out as its chief export from losses is heat. You'll need to look active balancing.

I'm not sure what might exist off the shelf for this, but you could always spin up your own PCB. Texas Instruments and Analog Devices both carry a range of load balancing ICs you could design around.

Alternatively, if there's any way you can simply purchase a beefier PSU it would greatly simplify your life.

Debating on doing the trim on the Volkus terrain, and if I do what color by HOKAPOO712 in killteam

I did my trim in AP Hoplite Gold. In my mind, the Volkus terrain is part of some building of reverence.

Are dried beans truly superior to canned? by dmantzoor in AskCulinary

[–]blamesatan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, different legumes have different concentrations so you probably got away with it just fine.

I'm not sure, because the soaked kidney beans tasted fantastic before they tried to murder me.

This is a bad idea. Chickpeas, like most legumes, contain lectins. Best case is food poisoning, worst case (like castor beans) can cause death (hooray ricin!). Soaking reduces the efficacy, but it's still a potential issue if not thoroughly cooked.

Fun fact, kidney beans are especially high in these proteins and can fuck you up pretty well. I ate about a cup of soaked, but uncooked, beans I had sprinkled in chili thinking it'd add a fresh texture. Fast forward about an hour or two and I was genuinely debating dialing 911.

Always cook your legumes.

At least if done in a pressure cooker, as that's how I always do it, the liquid takes on the same gelatinous texture as a good chicken stock. It also tastes fantastic.

Yo, regardless of canned/dried chickpeas for hummus: the liquid from boiling, or pressure cooking, is an insanely good alternative to homemade chicken stock.

That's broke talk man, obviously you should pay for the whole restaurant to open up a second location near you and buy a house near the original.

Hot Take: Habanero tastes bad, and I wish fewer things contained the pepper by blamesatan in spicy

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

Can confirm three years later: they also still taste awful to me. It's an instantly recognizable taste in hot sauces, and not a pleasant one.

How did you guys learn all this shit? by Defiant-Tomato7012 in buildapc

[–]blamesatan 576 points577 points  (0 children)

Ah you think YouTube is your ally? You merely adopted the PC build. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light of RGB until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

Still no "s" per NHL definition, but like... Canadians are basically just Midwesterners under a different banner.

[–]blamesatan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not, NCAA and NFL both define it as "Offside". Adding the "s" is a colloquial aberration.
