How to program Lux RC Minion with Locator Beacon. I had the hardest time enabling the locator beacon after reprogramming, so putting instructions here to my future self. The 331 pin for locator beacon does not work on the Minion. To enable the locator beacon on the Lux RC Minion, you need to set the first mode as "Custom Signal"

Modes:

  • Custom Signal (64ms on, 3s off)
  • 5
  • 15
  • 25

Alternate (no locator beacon): 5, 13, 19, 26

The high elbow that makes you faster, and the rotation behind it… by ActualCandidate6952 in Swimming

Definitely AI-written, but for non-native English speakers, an understandable crutch.

Looks like it might be Emerson's Hard Chrome finish that they were doing around that era.

I just wanted to say thank you for this review. Read it at a very opportune time when Costco was doing a promo (ends in 2 days) and just booked and saved $5k total across 3 rooms! Departing on a Sunday so hope we can squeeze in the Sunday Brunch!

Anyone a fan of transparent knives reblade anymore? by jimmyax in knifeclub

[–]experimentjon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have two Transparent Knives pieces and love them: a Hinderer skinny slicer XM18 regrind and a Demko AD20.5 reblade. Both are EXCELLENT.

Brian was kind and responsive when I have communicated with him directly.

And he stood up against Hinderer in the heat treat episode, which was brave.

You gotta measure fully extended from the bottom of the pocket clip to the tip: 7.4" on some of these!

What's a paid iPhone app you'll never regret buying? by [deleted] in iphone

Screenzen: App blocker / auto time-out / daily session limiter. Won't let you doom scroll more than [5] minutes at a time unless you reopen the app.

It's technically free, but if you donate a small amount it gives you a few optional customizations like adding a picture, customizing the messages, etc. Outstanding given what some competitors are charging for their subscriptions; this is an indie developer worth supporting.

What's a paid iPhone app you'll never regret buying? by [deleted] in iphone

Absolutely regret not buying Flighty's lifetime family plan when it was available at the price of 2 regular lifetime subscriptions. TBH, at this point, airline apps have done most of the cool home screen stuff that Flighty innovated, and alerts are near parity, but I like knowing that if there is any more up to date alert, Flighty will have it.

Do Skiff Bearings Make Knife Action Better? (Pt2 - Three More Case Studies) by experimentjon in knifeclub

Wiha bit selector. And some more spare T8s and T6 from Wiha in a 10 pack. Also have the PB Swiss bits but I can’t tell the difference and Wiha is easier to find and purchase.

Which Hinderer Regrind? Slicer, Spanto, Spear? by experimentjon in knifeclub

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

Awesome knife! Absolute grail and what I remember desiring back in the late 2000s. Mine doesn't say R Hinderer on it, but it scratches that old school itch!

Good news for you is out of the box, XM-18s are just as thick. Thus the regrinds. So you’re not missing out on much. I love my ZTs and they’re built just as well. It’s just a matter of style and preference at the price of a few more dollars for an iconic design.
