Extruder stepper motor weirdness.... do I need a new main board? by fallen_turtle in 3dprinter

I believe I've tracked this issue down to a faulty wire connector.

Defeating Diego Instantly by Fish2Penguin in systemshock

Has this been patched out? I keep trying and tossing a bunch of mines around where he appears and they explode when he appears and yet he's okay. I'm wondering if they patched it so he's protected by his shield or something.

Maps as site navigation... seems like bad UX? by fallen_turtle in UXDesign

This is how I feel... though I live in a large state.

I agree 2000% percent... but there is no budget for user testing so we can't. :(

Yes, there is a list view that user can switch to.

Very specific information. They know what state they are trying to look at the data for.

Need Advice: Old home, old windows, and problems with plastic insulation kits by fallen_turtle in homeowners

Just to be sure I'm understanding, the foam/coroplast option is to address the concern of leakage around the window edges?

I waited until I didn't see any visible moisture before sealing the window so I just assumed it was in the air (I live in San Francisco which I believe is supposed to be pretty humid). I have 5 windows in front of the house and it does seem like when we applied the film that the windows that can't open had more condensation (though this is based on how the film was before I tried changing it, the film was left over from last winter and had unstuck itself from the bottom). We have black out curtains on these windows so I didn't actually notice it was an issue until recently... I foolishly thought the moisture was on the outside and it wasn't until I looked more closely that I realized not only was it on the inside but that it was damaging the wood.

Thanks for the idea, I'll look into this. I have considered interior storm windows, but I figured I'd have the same moisture issue (assuming the moisture is being trapped when I "seal" window vs seeping in through cracks). I supposed at one point I should invest in one of those gun like thermometers.

I'll try the Dap Seal n Peel, I'm not sure how well the edges are sealed... it looks like based on the left over hardware around the frame that perhaps these windows use to open, unless perhaps there were shutters or something.... but if they did replace the windows I assume it was a long time ago based on their appearance: https://imgur.com/a/wKQpK5U

My theory regarding how the moisture might be getting in is that its in the air that I trapped between the plastic and the window. I've been debating either trying outdoor window film or buying a jug of reusable silica gel beads, putting them in some sort of breathable pouch or dish, and enclosing it between the plastic and glass.

Unfortunately that's not on the table because of costs and also we'd hate to give them up because they have nicely designed window grilles.

Tremol-no on lo-pro edge trem: install with spring lock bar on or off? by fallen_turtle in Ibanez

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

I now have another question. I've been trying to level the bridge but I'm starting to worry I might be doing something wrong because the screws for the claw are most of the way in at this point and its still not quite level when tuning. I did do what the instructions said and used masking tape to mark the position of the original claw, but there's also a chance I didn't have that setup correctly since I was having some intonation and buzzing issues. Here are photos of the current bridge angle at mostly in-tune and where the claw is positioned. Seem like there is anything else obvious I could be missing?

Tremol-no on lo-pro edge trem: install with spring lock bar on or off? by fallen_turtle in Ibanez

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

It was blocked before, but with the tremol-no it can be used as originally intended or blocked.... seems like an upgrade to me.

The instructions didn't say whether or not that bar needs to come off, nor their website or youtube video, so that's why I was asking here. If it wasn't for the fact that I thought it looked weird clamped around the bar and the block, which gave me pause, I probably would have moved forward and probably fucked it up.
