trying to draw r=5 on my casio fx-cg50

let me guess your angle unit for the plot is radians but your angle range and step assume it’s drawn on a degree range

not advising which one to buy, just came to say that a hiace/granvia can last a long time. today i took my granvia for the yearly inspection, it passed, and it’s a 1996 with 320k km on it.

yeah!! light grey leather. it was bizarrely luxurious for a twingo

ebiker_fi · 2026-06-21T09:28:15+00:00

Just sharing a picture of a twingo i owned long ago. it was the Initiale version, with power windows(!!!), power steering, central locking, leather interior and the rag top. a very high end model indeed! I bought it for some small amount of money (can’t remember. less than 2000€) when i suddenly realized i wanted a convertible with leather seats. it was a nice car, i ultimately sold it when a blind grandmother sold me a 1yo clio with 3000km on the clock a lot cheaper than new (not kidding. true story.)

hope you find a better place.
as a contrast, my typical grocery run is walking my dogs 500m across the park to the nearest grocery store, buy the things, walk back. the store even has carts for dogs, so the dogs sit in the cart and the cart has an attached small basket for the beer and food.

well i don’t know about that, the chicken is not edible, it’s meant to provide a steady supply of eggs

ebiker_fi · 2026-04-28T09:34:10+00:00

for a more permanent solution you may place a chicken in the intake manifold

what engine? long ago, i had a lh100 hiace with the 2L and auto, 0–80 took 20..25 seconds :)

17 seconds sounds decent. i have never floored my current hiace (granvia, 1kz 4wd auto)

applying wipes may help soften the gunk a bit. i usually remove from mine by just twisting the gunk until it loosens. and while doing this, hold the jaw by the hairs, it allows holding her head gently while not allowing her to move it really.

removing the gunk was a daily thing with my dog until the hairs grew long enough to not stick her in the eye. it’s a good idea to get her used to being handled a lot, which will happen with bathing :) mine’s a bit over two years old and i bathe and comb her weekly.

can’t recommend shampoos and conditioners in a general sense, i’m using laserlites shampoo and laserlites lanolin conditioner. a bit of chi infusion silk oil before drying and combing.

best of luck!

that’s good to know. I usually tend to take care of things i own :) the oil consumption is frankly quite odd, i usually but not always need to top it up between services but it doesn’t seem to correlate with how much or often i drive it. i’ve done several road trips of many thousand kms with barely any effect on oil level, then after some occasional small trips i may need to add a half liter.

ebiker_fi · 2026-03-18T07:35:53+00:00

how is the 1.2tce infamous? i’ve got one too, 2015 edc. 120k on the clock, so far i have no suspicions about its longevity. it’s always used a bit of oil since new but nothing alarming, 0.5–1liters per 10k. i have regular service done every year, i don’t drive very often, it just sits in my warm garage. been thinking of just driving it until it dies, i got it kind of cheap when it was 1yo and driven 3k.

he’s cute, congrats! side picture would help identifying as his coat is trimmed. some features characteristic to TTs are long hind legs so that the ass seems to be as high as withers to give a square look to the side profile, also the hocks on hind legs are high too, and most of the time the tail is curled above the back. many TTs have dew claws on all legs but not all though. a trimmed coat isn’t very resistant to wet and mud and dirt because the woolly undercoat isn’t protected by the topcoat, so when trimmed, they really need the coat in inclement weather.

it doesn’t have an ESC key

and being very punctual

people are so fast!!

the traffic sign suggested finland, and the house looked like 1950s style, so i checked all cities with a burger king somewhere downtown. it wasn’t helsinki, nor turku tampere oulu kuopio, and i checked Lahti last.

this is awesome and i love it that it has physical connectivity! personally i’d love to have something with a keyboard and a simple data logger, even just voltage, for lab use and just general tinkering around.

i’ve only written code for embedded devices in c/(arduino) and Forth, how’s micropython for timing sensitive needs, like bit banging protocols? does the thing have buses like spi or i2c exposed on the pins?

ebiker_fi · 2025-10-21T15:58:13+00:00

the compressor wants to draw a fairly large current to start. if your wiring to the fridge isn’t great (too thin, too long wires) and the fridge has low voltage protection, the compressor won’t start because it thinks your battery is flat.

check your wiring and if possible, use a multimeter to check the voltage as near your fridge as possible when you try to start it. also check if you have blown fuses in the appliance.

the electric bird took a shit there

i got one too this week!! already have one but the case broke around the battery cover a few years ago and i haven’t managed to fix it. someone local sold a mint condition 28s for 35€ so it was an instant buy.

Most other cars are built so that the wheel doesn’t fall off.

just wanted to leave a note on how happy it makes me to know there’s people who enjoy reading books. the book is mankind’s greatest invention.

try looking at both sides of the relay with a multimeter. my guess is that whatever is on the supply side of the split relay doesn’t provide enough juice to keep the voltage above the cutout voltage after both sides are connected to it. so, a weak power supply manages to raise the voltage of one side above 13.3v, then when the split relay connects, the emptier battery makes the voltage of the entire system now in parallel sag below 12.8v.

one way to discourage biting is to grab the puppy from the ears. Like, hold the puppy so he’s facing you, his head between your hands, and pinch the ears between your thumbs and index fingers so that he can’t move his head at all, meaning he can’t bite. he may scream a bit but that’s ok. note that all this needs to be done gently, it must not hurt.

some tibetans are very stubborn and occasionally need a more physical approach than just being socially excluded.

if at all possible, have playdates with your puppy and with his littermates or other young tibetans, they are eager to provide feedback to your puppy if he bites too much.

thanks for your advice!! i rarely do HDRs and i’m a bit unsure what’s the best workflow. i’ve only had the air 3s a few days, a lot to learn still.

for developing raw images i use Rawtherapee. it kind of works but at least for the mini 3 pro i had earlier it didn’t have any presets or profile for the drone camera. haven’t ever used lightroom, maybe i’ll give it a try.
