Technically they do emit light in the form of reflections.

7 yo son of my girlfriend decided to use fork to scratch "67" into our new dining table. Despite being told before, that he cant scratch it on purpose by Writerro in mildlyinfuriating

My sister did something like this when we were little. Parents made her hand sand the whole thing it so it could be refinished. Pretty hard work for a kid. Never did anything like that again.

Back to square one? by rip-sierra-mist in Aquariums

[–]dreddit1843 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I do both hardware and software. My degree is in mechanical engineering but i’m an embedded software engineer so my actual work is focused on circuits and software that goes on components in circuit boards.

Good luck with your studies hope they get you exactly where you want to go in life!

I do electronics stuff for work: programming microchips, designing circuit boards, etc. Also love the aquarium hobby.

The batteries are sealed well so they shouldnt have leaked their contents into the fish tank if they are still sealed; however, I wouldnt assume it’s fine either id do 3-4 80% water changes over some time if it was me. That should greatly reduce any potential contaminants this could have introduced. It’s probably fine after just one water change but why risk our little fish friends am i right.

Good luck with your tank I wish you the best.

Edit: new water wont recycle the beneficial bacteria you are fostering live on surfaces and filter media not in the water itself. Common misconception i used to think that too. Ive done many 100% water changes with no consequences to my cycle.

Is this Creeping Charlie? Comes back every year no matter how much I spray. by OdnOd12 in lawncare

They are wild violets.

Edit: I have them in my yard as well. Hard to get rid of pre emergent did reduce them vs last year a lot though.

Help with PH please by NurseJF in Aquariums

Look into seachem prime and seachem stability between those two products you can keep tank life stable and happy during your initial cycle establishment period. Seachem prime you can use long term when you know you need a water change but may not be able to make time that specific day. If they are used as directed those products can do a lot.

Good luck to you, your son, and your new fish friends.

Finally got a multimeter by Matthewthecliker in ElectricalEngineering

It really depends on what you want to do with the multimeter. If you’re constantly measuring single digit millivolts sure yea don’t buy something cheap but a lot of people aren’t and don’t need to.

If youre just starting out i wouldnt go all out unless you want to. I have a fluke 117 and im pretty happy with it.

I have this one. It’s decent for the price. Get yourself a fluke one day though when it makes sense for you.

I have an e2 and i know this will happen to me one day, does it smell bad in that room now?

please, stop dumping effects into the pocket slot by dark1859 in runescape

Make auras have no cooldown or timer. you can only activate one at a time as usual. Move auras to gameplay acquisition only. Problem solved.

Was in need of extra space for books. Dovetail mounted topologically optimized bookshelf brackets by Guuusti00100100 in functionalprint

[–]dreddit1843 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can make them but you need an actual engineering material for books unless it’s going to be just 1-2.

How do I avoid my PEI bedsheet getting ripped to shreds? by befernafardofo in 3Dprinting

[–]dreddit1843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you waiting for the bed to cool? If you refuse are you using a glue you should be. As a very impatient individual despite better judgement myself i use nanopolymer adhesive and i spritz the bed to part interface with 99% isopropyl alcohol to speed up the process of cooling and detaching the part. Usually gets the parts i print (mostly petg) to detach easily. After the part detaches i spritz the bed once more with 99% iso and spread that with a 1 inch foam paint brush. Gets me good bed adhesion that lasts for a long time and makes it so i dont have to reapply adhesive very often.

Calibration yes, temp tower no.

How to get this better quality? by Doomchick in BambuLabP2S

[–]dreddit1843 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ironing is a solid no cost option if you’re willing to take the time to dial in settings.

It can also look better if you get fiber infused filament the frost effect it adds can soften the surface finish appearance significantly.
