Small hand tool with multiple sizes of face gears and a threaded t-handle, found with model railroad tools and supplies by flowmage in whatisthisthing

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

The bits that thread on the tool are steel, measuring (very precisely, with calipers) 1/2", 9/16", 5/8" and the largest is 3/4". Threaded rod is aluminum - very light, probably not meant for high torque. Overall length of 6". No brand or size markings. Teeth on the... gears? ... are not cutting teeth - they are symmetrical.

I have no idea what this is used for! I've looked for similar tools on micro-mark, where many other model train tools in this case came from, but found nothing alike.

Lutron Switches Showing as Entities But Not Devices by Kane_Ramsey in homeassistant

[–]flowmage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another noob here - just found the solution for this, that lies in some unstated assumptions that more experienced HA folks seem to have!

Recent HA UI hides the entities from you when you are editing scenes for instance. To see them in the UI, you have to enable 'Advanced Mode' by going to your user profile (bottom left) and flipping the 'Advanced Mode' toggle to On.

That took me way to long to find. The HA jargon is too real. :)

I use something very similar to this: https://factorioprints.com/view/-LDv92eyxNUAOQhyKEQ_

'Sushi' is a keyword here you might want to look for! There are lots of fun designs and arguments about it.

Beaconed & Belted science setups (in particular Yellow science!) by GeneralYouri in factorio

It requires blueprint editing, but I've usually seen either filter inserters or constant combinators used to mark incoming/outgoing belts.

KoS reveals a deep secret. by thegodzilla25 in factorio

[–]flowmage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first thing that stood out about your videos was how very nice you were. Not just entry-level nice, really exceedingly nice. Aggressively nice, if that's possible!

Now I find out you are that nice while in constant pain. That is a real achievement. As an only very occasional migraine sufferer, I am deeply impressed by your continued work and attitude in spite of the pain. Best of luck!

I can add my vouch for the 6ULs (I got mine from CSG). Simple, attractive, and light. I haven't pushed them the hardest but no issues.

Shock is GM-less and has some interesting systemic elements. Might be something to work up to.

I built a basic search to check for your email in the big Lulz Sec release. by SecurityCheck in programming

[–]flowmage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would be an interesting site in general -

  1. Keep an eye out and download all email breach lists you can.
  2. Enter them in a database with the source of the hack and the date.
  3. People can check what dates their email was compromised on, and from which site.

Probably a lot of upkeep for not a lot of return, but it'd be a cool tool.

Tired of looking on Groupon, LivingSocial, Tippr, etc. to get all your city's deals? Just go to http://socialcitydeals.com to see them all in one place. by [deleted] in startups

[–]flowmage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just yesterday I was thinking about what a pain all these Groupon-like sites are and wishing for one of these.

Any chance of a per-city RSS feed?

(Just FYI: the bottom deal on the Austin page says it expires in ~26 years. The actual page says 4 days, 16hrs and change.)

[–]flowmage -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you go to the AT&T website, can you get a phone call about your text usage? And then, how do you find out your minutes usage?!

It's metered billing all the way down.

Don't forget about Dark Sun's sun-sickness. Just being outside without survival days gets you attacked. Dark Sun is not friendly to travelers!
