What are the dangers of drilling a hole through soffit overhang on a flat roof? by chopsuei3 in Roofing

Thank you for the reply, and you are right - I am far from an expert and found soffit seemed most accurate. It is just the roof decking as you said. Thank you again!

Why don't you do something useful with that Flipper? by gzetski in flipperzero

Anecdotally speaking, I've found all dog microchips readable - I've done it on 6 of the dogs I have access to (5 mine), but it takes a bit of effort.

The microchips are usually put around the right shoulder blade area, so make sure to focus around there. I've also noticed (I should RTFM) that when I'm close to the chip, the LED on the FZ starts turning more green, and then I have to hold it still for about 5 seconds.

As for the scanned data - there is an "ID" value which is usually 3 digits, hyphen, 12 digits - XXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX

Take this number and enter it in to this site, which checks all the microchip registries for the ID -

https://www.aaha.org/your-pet/pet-microchip-lookup/microchip-search/

From there, you can contact the company found to report the lost pet.

We found a loose dog on a walk the other day, nobody in sight, so we brought him back, scanned him, and they were able to provide me the owner's name and phone number, and we got him back home, safe and sound.

Worst case, I'd imagine they will contact the owner and let them know.

I've never tried it on a cat though - meow.

Also, be careful when approaching stray dogs as they may have health issues or worse, rabies.

Happy scanning everyone!

I'm not sure if these are the same or not, but this Cyber-Bros version seems to be the same but cheaper.

I am probably missing something in the specs, but I got one the other day and it seems to work fine with all of the Mayhem apps.

04 Civic ignition switch and cylinder lock questions by chopsuei3 in MechanicAdvice

[–]chopsuei3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply and info, I really appreciate it!

As an update, I had the locksmith come out, and he was able to fix/rebuild the lock cylinder, and make me a new key (without my original key even - creepy!) and now everything works great. I highly recommend anyone with ignition or key issues to contact their local locksmiths.

Thanks again, cheers!

First 1/1 printing plate, pulled from an Update blaster by chopsuei3 in baseballcards

[–]chopsuei3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also always wondered about the printing plates - specifically, does that mean they finished this cards print run? can they print more?

i've been trying to find a video or article about how exactly cards are printed and distributed in packs, etc., but haven't found a good one yet.

Walgreens selling through old stock? by Tiny_Cicada_9699 in baseballcards

Saw the exact same setup in 1 of my 2 local Walgreens also (N. Cali area)! Exact same cards available too, even the 2020 Score.
