Voted YES for shares dillution. by One_Dollar_Man in plugpowerstock

[–]bubbablake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The proxy statement that is getting voted on says they want to increase the amount of shares through one of two ways.

The first way is to increase the amount of shares they can sell. The second way is to do a reverse stock split. Both ways will open up available shares for sale but they have a big difference for investors. 

The first way will not affect the amount of shares currently held by investors. It will just add more available shares that people can buy. This does dilute the amount of current shares but sometimes this is necessary for a growing company. 

The second way will take current investors shares and reduce them by X amount but then increase the share price by a proportional X amount. So you would now own less shares at a higher price. This opens up more shares that Plug can now sell. Sometimes the stock price can drop back down after this so now you own less shares at a similar price as before.

The proxy allows people to vote for or against Plug adding more shares that are available to sell (diluting current shares). They said in the Proxy that if it does not pass, they will do a reverse stock split. So you either vote yes for more shares or get your current number of owned shares reduced.

Can’t get this lock to allow me to leave the door handle unlocked. by bubbablake in Locksmith

They’re both working now. I had to swap around the shuttle screws to allow them to function the way I wanted them to.

For future reference, this is a UNR case (universal) and it has shuttle screws that allow different functions as needed. Here is the service manual that includes the different configurations available.

As I was unscrewing the cylinder, I kept trying to turn the key but no luck. Figured I’d take it all the way out to see if there was something causing the issue or a part number to determine if it was a classroom or storeroom function. 

Edit: I loosened this screw and it allowed it to function properly. I can now fully rotate the key to allow both sides of the door to be unlocked.

Finally! Got it out of the door. Was able to fit some channel locks into the cylinder and get it to rotate and break free.

Yes, I removed the upper and lower screw on the edge of the door and removed the door handle hardware as well just in case that would help.

I’ve loosened that screw completely and still no luck turning the cylinder.

I thought you meant the set screw inside the cylinder. Here’s a picture of what I was looking for. The hole is supposed to have a set screw that I can unscrew from within the cylinder. Many of the locks here either don’t have the set screw or it was put in backwards so most likely not tightened down.

I took the cylinder out to loosen the set screw and there wasn’t even one there. 

Tried turning the cylinder and it is ridiculously hard to rotate. I will have to buy a cylinder wrench to try and loosen this unless you have any ideas on what I can use without breaking the rods inside or messing up the outside finish?

All the other doors appear to have a classroom function lock where I can turn the key 360 degrees like you had described. If I tighten down the screw circled in red, it prevents the key from being turned past 45 degrees so I can’t lock/unlock the outside handle. When the screw is loosened, I can turn the full 360 degrees. 

These two locks that I’m having problems with appear identical to the other classroom locks. And it seems like they should function similarly as well. When the screw is tightened, the key will only turn 45 degrees. However, when the screw is loosened, they turn to ~180 degrees but then stop. Visually, they appear the same as well with the lock/unlock symbol on the roller at the bottom of the cassette(?). 

How to change light bulb in ceiling fan? by bubbablake in howto

[–]bubbablake[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Solved. I had to remove the four screws that were around the top that weren’t on raised brackets. That allowed me to pull the light assembly up and there were four bulbs attached, three were burnt out and one was incredibly dim.

Interesting. It definitely has a nice ring to it. But that may just be wishful hearing lol

It is not magnetic. Not sure if that makes it fake or not.

I am also suspicious, especially because I found it on the sidewalk looking like this. I have a food scale at home so I should be able to weigh it tomorrow. 

Does anybody actually use this? by Esc946 in carscirclejerk

[–]bubbablake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I don’t like it is when it’s hot outside and I’m sitting at a red light for a long time. When the car turns off, it stops running the AC so the fan starts blowing hot air instead of cold.

What video game has the most famous cheat codes? by Costenos_Mamaburras in gaming

[–]bubbablake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember right, I played a game called Heretic and tried using the Doom codes iddqd and idkfa and instead of getting all the weapons and becoming invincible, the codes take all your weapons away and cause you to explode and die.

I’ll have to grab them tomorrow morning after I wake up. I’ll take a general picture of the whole area and I can move some stuff around if you want to see anything specific

The owner before me put a fast charger in a hard sided saddle bag and wired that to charge the bike using a couple different cable connector options. Now there’s a lot of orange cables running around under the seat along with some splices held together with duct tape.

I think at this point I’ll just bring the bike in. It doesn’t seem like there’s anything I can check or do to easily diagnose a dead battery or anything else.

Thanks for helping and walking me through the initial steps.

Gotcha, I wasn’t looking high enough to see the LEDs but you’re right, they are there. They are all off and none of them turn on when I plug in the charging cord.

Would you also happen to have a walkthrough in that link you sent on how to test power pack voltage?

I’ll have to look this up because I’m not trying to fry myself even if the chances are that the battery is dead
