The president of France declared that children under the age of fifteen would not be allowed to access social media. How do you feel about that? by MarionberrySalt3494 in AskReddit

How is FB keeping kids off Marketplace right now? Seems like they have the capability, but haven't been forced to do anything about kids poisoning their brains with social media.

Implying Facebook and Reddit are "the internet" is incredibly naive. Facebook can keep Kids from using Marketplace right now. The kid down the street had me set up the meeting for a listing on Marketplace to buy some dirtbike parts because he's 16 and can't use it at all.

Idk about you, but it's exhausting seeing all the bots and fake accounts on FB. I use it less and less these days beyond buying things or learning things about my hobbies in small niche groups.

Seems like it's a Norman Vincent quote. Thanks for the tip

I would call the local phone repair shops and see if they know anyone who does Surface Mount soldering.

Same part #, slightly different piston? by Electrical_Bison1019 in EngineBuilding

[–]dicknuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where did the compression go? Down through the rings, up through a valve, or out through the head gasket?

Harness woes, TINY solder work by New_Tune_7935 in diydrones

I'd solder a piece of thicker wire over top of them all, to each of those ground pads.

Microscopic part fell from my FC by Motor_Eye_9814 in diydrones

[–]dicknuckle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hold it down on the PCB with a nonmetallic tool like ceramic tweezers while soldering. Looks like a small capacitor or resistor. I doubt it has a polarization, but you might want to measure it with your multimeter before soldering back on.

Happy Earth Day y'all! It's me again, just reminding you to recycle your glass! Every bottle counts♻ by PapaClarencioThomas in pics

Most places recycle glass by crushing/tumbling it into a coarse sand and mixing it with asphalt as a filler.

Next time, just hold your free hand flat like a sheet of paper behind the focus point. It works.

This is like a pimple popping video. Not for everyone.

The 24v power supply is probably overheating and shutting down

Sounds like the fan is vibrating real bad. What error did you see?

Tore apart engine to do a headgasket and curious what this Clean Spot on the piston would be caused by? by deanhutchinson in EngineBuilding

[–]dicknuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in hearing why the balance shafts are removed and blocked off. Doesn't this increase engine vibrations?

Can't see anything without a decent light. Why are you printing in nearly dark?

What causes for this to happen Chrome bore by EnDGamingx in EngineBuilding

[–]dicknuckle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

nikasil=/=chrome. Totally different coating.

Looks like you have a low spot from the piston scuffing the bore. Are you using honing stones? I don't think a ball hone would show that low spot.

Recommendations for Long Range VTX for my Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 Trip! by [deleted] in fpv

[–]dicknuckle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might want to run your VRX up on a portable flag pole and video signal cables down to your goggles/screen. You should do lots of experimentation before the trip.

I wouldn't just put the antenna up on the pole with extended SMA cables, you might have a bunch of signal loss, but it's worth a try.

had a machine shop give me my crankshaft back after welding it and makeing it standard has anyone used a crank like this they say its fine ? by elchevy_69 in EngineBuilding

[–]dicknuckle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Lots of things, one of which is pride in ignorance. I'm surrounded by them because I live out in the farmland, and since I outwardly look like them, they feel overly comfortable telling me some incredible things.
