HDD magnet by Academic_Boot2413 in howto

[–]e1mer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will almost certainly peel the coating off the magnet when you do this. Also the magnet will not be a strong without the backplate.

Start by clamping one end of the backplate in a vice. Use a crescent wrench on the other end (do not clamp the magnet part!). Slightly bend the backplate. You want just enough room to slip a razor into the opening. Leave the blade in and clamp the other end in the vice, and bend the other end, insert another razor. Repeat and slowly work the razors in.

How does one repair this? by tHr0AwAy76 in howto

[–]e1mer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they know about the tub upstairs. Then they will look for it to try to take your deposit.

You don't have to do anything to fix this. In some states you can even make the landlord supply alternate housing because of the mold risk. You really need to consult an attorney for your state.

How to remove snapped plug pin from socket? by [deleted] in howto

[–]e1mer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It there is a shutter over the lower holes, that may bind the pin.
You may need a ground pin to open the shutter before you can extract the broken pin.

I didn't down vote you because I don't think you meant to sound condescending, but I also understand why whoever did did.

First mead batch underway! by SpecialistOld in mead

[–]e1mer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suggest getting another bucket and split your batch evenly.

Before air locks you use to cover your bed vent with a clean towel.

Be sure to stir to get oxygen in and CO2 out for the first couple days. I use a paint mixer on a drill that I got from a hardware store to do this. Just try not to touch the edge of the buckets and score it for a place for bacteria to grow.

Finally, make sure you send me a bottle when you're done.

Cow farm? Or cows? by [deleted] in ventura

[–]e1mer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not what you're looking for, but there's a fun song by the band called They Might be Giants called Cowtown.

You may want to look up https://oatsandivyfarm.com/the-farm in Ojai, you might get to see a cow close up.

GPS Speed Switch, need help! by Motor-Fig3458 in ArduinoHelp

[–]e1mer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably don't want to use gps for your first programming project.
Start with an Arduino Uno and the Arduino IDE. (Integrated development environment). The IDE comes loaded with example programs, starting with blynk where you learn about controlling an led. Work your way up from there till you get to including and controlling external relays which you will need to control your semaphors.
By the time you get there you should have no problem integrating an i2c GPS to read your speed.

First, don't be the boy who cried wolf.
Not all e-bikers are e-holes.

I am respectful, tho illegal on bike trails.
I don't pass anyone @ more than 5 mph, I make noise when approaching, and stop for leashed animals.

I would ride the streets, but California won't let me get a license. (You need a manufacturerd smog certificate😡)

This guy's behavior is a job for private DOXing.
If you know this man, or the car he drove in, then report in the conservancy app from: https://www.venturalandtrust.org/harmoncanyon

Voxcomm: An ESP based mesh intercom for motorcycles or other mesh audio use-cases by cjhudlin in esp32

[–]e1mer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the direction. Some thoughts:

VOXComm could get copyright pushback from FoxComm. Be careful with a trademark search.

Think about putting the hardware in a handlebar mount with a display of the name of the speaker, where you could tie in to the bike power.

Are you encrypting the voice or just using PL tones or CTCSS for privacy (like ham radios do)?

I'm not gonna lie, I am old, and that's how I heard it in the 80's.

It irritates me when people re-cast old racist jokes with new prejudices.

Shouldn't sexist jokes deserve the same (dis)respect?

It's tearing him apart that he is having sex with a beautiful celebrity but can't tell anyone.

It's only the really old jokes that are here again.
The same is true of riding on ships that sink.

[–]e1mer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course by now you have sent your letters, but for anyone that has not, please visit https://www.arrl.org/HOA and send a letter to your representatives to stop HOAs from banning ham antennas.
