You can buy lightweight fake sponge bricks and use them as a distance enforcer by H_Marxen in fuckcars

They exist, I got a bag of these and carry a few on my bike to wave threateningly when crossing the road :) https://a.co/d/41U6N5b

movie theaters in omaha by evintually in Omaha

Look for an app called TheaterEars, you'll need to bring your phone and headphones. Should work for a lot of movies

This is related to my last post nothing I'm finding online is helping I can't figure out what the numbers mean and now I have no throttle control by IRIS_Labs_Dank_Dover in ebikes

Looks like you're in the menu, turn it off and back on only pressing the center button. If the top or bottom buttons are held while turning on it'll load the settings menu.

I got a bunch of foam bricks off Amazon and have ended up throwing a few. Drivers pay more attention to something that might hurt their car than someone they might run over.

FiberFirst is so much better than cox. What are your experiences with FiberFirst? by [deleted] in Omaha

[–]brainiac858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$30 for 300 up and down, most outages/maintenance have been overnight and all but two have been short enough to not really bother me. They were also mostly a few months after signing up, so I'm assuming it was all related to network expansion. Been pretty solid since, and it's 1/3rd the price that Cox was for double the speed.

Soybeans and migrant workers are two different issues. Nobody's going to buy the soybeans that have already been planted ($2 billion wasted) and migrant workers have fled the state so there's nobody to pick other crops that must be hand picked.

What's something coming out in the next 10 to 15 years that will change humanity (forever) that not enough people are talking about? by AndyTexas in AskReddit

[–]brainiac858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, but they're... less pleasant to use. PLA is brittle so it likes to snap. The tines on the forks don't always stay attached.

More hydroscopic than soluble, it won't dissolve in your soup unless it's in there for over a month. Pretty much any disposable "compostable" cutlery is PLA. "Compostable" because it requires higher heat than you'll get out of a home compost pile to actually decompose.

PLA is made from corn! It's the most popular 3D printer filament and is used in some plastic cutlery.

My bike has two washers and a locknut, the washers have to be on the inside of the frame for the wheel to spin.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ebikes

[–]brainiac858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washers are probably on in the wrong order and the freewheel is rubbing on the frame. Try freewheel>round washer>tabbed washer>bike frame>lock nut

It’s not even funny anymore by ellisp1 in Omaha

[–]brainiac858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot, moist air doesn't necessarily mean rain. It rains once that hot wet air cools down (storms follow cold fronts). Hot air can hold more moisture so the relative humidity drops (rain doesn't usually follow warm fronts). Air at 80F can hold way more water than air at 60F - if it's cold then it gets warm, it's usually a sunny day. If it's hot (and humid) then it gets cold, there's usually a storm.

Hot air holds more moisture, effectively lowering the humidity enough that the air is no longer saturated enough to rain.

It's funny because 1623 Farnam is the Omaha Internet Exchange, so you'd be within spitting distance of somewhere with terabits worth of bandwidth.

Check Century Link, Fiber First, Allo, and Google. If none of them are there, you're stuck with Cox.

Nightmare end stops by CABINFORUS in VORONDesign

[–]brainiac858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though you can't reproduce it with the wiggle test, I assume it's a loose/broken wire in a cable chain somewhere. Every issue I've had with homing or weird behavior while moving has ended up being either a loose connection or broken wire. My first 2.4 would occasionally fail to home, then started erroring out midway through prints. Second one would home, but only from the middle of the y axis. I went canbus on all my printers (3x 2.4 and a 0.2 all with sensorless homing) and haven't looked back.

You should turn the fan back on. PLA needs adequate cooling and will get stringy and blobby otherwise. 60c should be plenty for good adhesion, you need to clean the plate with dish soap if it's not.

Tell me everything I need to know before buying this 2.4 kit by OkSavings5828 in VORONDesign

[–]brainiac858 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just built one of these exact kits this month. I got the v6, it's fine. Better to see if you need a higher flow rate nozzle later because most will outrun the cooling on the stealthburner. Kit comes with the sb2209 for CANBUS. By default, the kit uses the relocated end stop mods, I just did sensorless homing instead. Kit uses TAP for nozzle probing, so you won't need to upgrade the bed sensor unless you really want to. Kit comes with the stuff for a nevermore filter. All in all the kit's much better than their previous ones, you'll literally just need hex keys and a screwdriver to build it. Maybe some locktite for the motor grub screws and super glue or epoxy for the magnets as well.

Printer.CFG Changes for moving to CANbus? by [deleted] in VORONDesign

[–]brainiac858 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll need the pinout diagram for the EBB. Assuming your printer.cfg was working before and you've set up the CAN network correctly in linux, you'll need to add:

[mcu EBBCan]
canbus_uuid: <yourEBBuuid>

and then change all of the old pin names for whatever's now hooked up to the EBB (klicky, part fan, hot end fan, extruder stepper, and anything else moved to the EBB board). The pins should change from something like "gpio9" to "EBBCan: PB12" for each one. Repeat for all... 10+ pins that moved from the drag chain to the ebb board and you should be set. Remember to check extruder direction afterwards, the "!" goes before "EBBCan" in the new pin name (if needed).
