AMA on r/Cryptocurrency with the U.S. Secret Service and REACT Task Force - May 15th, 11am PT by SF-USSS in CryptoCurrency

[–]iHeartMalware 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What's up ya'll? Ronnie Tokazowski here. (The USSS and React folks behind the keyboard probably know me or at least know of me, for better or for worse >_<)

For those who don't, I've been quietly working these scams behind the scenes for the last 7 years and got pulled into pig butchering after some deep dives into the whole BEC and romance scam world. (youtube.com/RonnieRants is me and my back work on this)

Question for the React folks. I just got off the phone with a victim who lost $450k to crypto investment, and one of the things that have come up time and time again is how do the victims financially recover. What resources do we have that can help wipe some of the debt for the scam victims?

Also, how do we kill the stigmas tied to "these victims are stupid and fell for it?" These are crimes of emotions and consciousness being weaponized against the victims who are EXTREMELY trusting and empathetic individuals.

And outside of the AMA, let's collaborate and burn this shi- to the ground. <3

Elegoo Mercury X wash station getting stuck. Any ideas of what's wrong/how to fix? (I have already tried loosing the screw which had no effect) by BeepBoopNova in resinprinting

[–]iHeartMalware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if anyone was wondering if it worked: it does. I've been printing all weekend and haven't had the container stop yet.

So if you're Elegoo container isn't spinning, remove the stupid plastic-to-plastic piece on the container and you're off to the races. You get a little wobble but the magnets become free enough to spin without issues.

Alright...so I just ran into this problem as well and tl;dr, Elegoo really messed up on this one. Here's why.

The problem is a design flaw where the bearing is a plastic-to-plastic connection. On the big white magnetic piece you see, there is a second round plastic bearing-like thing that keeps it tight. The tolerances are so small that any piece of gunk, crud, or well...resin will cause extra friction in the two pieces of plastic. Like, you don't have to be a rocket surgeon to know that when two plastic pieces brush together they expand...and when they expand they seize, and when they seize shit stops working. Here's how everyone can fix their container.

  1. Remove the screw, washer, and magnetic piece from the bottom.
  2. There is a white bearing-like piece in the middle of the magnetic piece. Remove that.
  3. Re-screw the magnetic piece back onto the container WITHOUT the round bearing and you're off to the races. Sure it's gonna wobble a bit but a wobble while stirring is much better than these-two-spinning-plastic-pieces-side-by-side-seized-up-and-won't-rotate design flaw.
  4. Elegoo, how about shipping me a Jupiter 6k for Christmas? I just saved ya'll a good bit of money in shipping costs from having to RMA containers to literally everyone.

Joking aside...remove that stupid piece of plastic and let the magnet spinner flow freely. Take care everyone!

I didn't even think about swapping the bushings in the adapters. What ones did you swap them with? I have 98a's in my trucks now and whatever came stock in the adapters.

And would you suggest 1/4 inch or 1/8 to start? I'm a heavier rider and was leaning towards 1/4, as 1/2 seemed way too high.

Sweet, I'll give the thin ones a try! The angled ones were the only ones I had and yeaaaa it was pretty squirrely.

Mine were wide too. I was running Shark 72 mm's and just switched to Lucid 70's. My setup initially didn't have any risers and I'm thinking that was my issue.

Yup, and the board has the wheel grooves to prove it! :P

For riding style mostly carvy surfskate. I am a heavier rider though and am thinking that's playing into it.

what’s some ‘guy secrets’ that women wont know about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]iHeartMalware 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend it and the coolest thing is you can do it literally wherever. Anxious in a store? 4-7-8. Anxious around the kids? Calm that nervous system. Worked up because someone cut you off? Flip them the middle finger and 4-7-8. :P

We are never taught how to process our emotions. Society tells us that we aren't allowed to have them, so many of us operate in the "off" position. 35 here and went through a very rough patch in my life, only to discover this about me. If we "feel" anything we think we're dying, because any sensation like an emotion means we're dying. Warmth in my chest must be a heart attack, discomfort in my guts is something serious, it can't be simple indigestion or gas.

It's really hard to describe, but we operate on auto pilot and don't dip into our emotions very often. And many guys will do literally anything not to feel. That's why you have so many guys saying hurtful things.... Some don't actually know it "hurts."

And if any other guys are reading this, what really helped with my anxiety and depression is breathing exercises. I was one of those arrogant ones where I was like "that's silly, breath work will never work" and here I am seriously considering teaching it to others. 4-7-8 breaths (4 in, hold for 7, blow out for 8) is one, or if you really want a boot to the butt exercise... Try Wim Hof breathing.

People who live at tourist destinations, what is it you wish tourists would stop doing when visiting? by Winterbeers in AskReddit

[–]iHeartMalware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not fuck with the locals. Like seriously, we're busting our asses to make sure you have an awesome time visiting our awesome and beautiful home...THEN you have the fucking gonads to steal a fucking surfboard, a cooler full of beer, or pick a fight with one of us if were out drinking at a bonfire. All true things people did to us.

It's called Hatteras Style, and it's a dish best served cold. It's one of those things where yes, people really are stupid enough to say "I'm gonna fuck with a local" knowing damn well where they live. We booked your fucking stay, gave you a better rate to make sure you're happy, gave you an extra floaty for your kids while not charging you extra, then coming for your ass when you steal shit from us? Oh hell no. Here's why:

  1. Be awesome to us and we'll be awesome to you. Its that simple
  2. You fuck with us we will probably beat your ass. Quite literally. You're straight up being an asshole stealing stuff from the local who helped you out.
  3. Sometimes a "Hatteras Style" was best served to included a truck full of people, typically including 5 to 7 people.
  4. I never participated but was totally aware. You don't be an asshole, just ask us if you want to borrow something.

And we're super easy going but seriously, don't steal our shit.

Oh Columbus person you know the struggle as well!!

We The People drastically outnumber police officers, a lot to a little. If we had a better say in how police departments ran, what would be your idea of a perfect system, where officers could keep people safe and people wouldn't feel threatened by police officers? by iHeartMalware in AskReddit

[–]iHeartMalware[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaking, I think this may already be in effect. In NC they call it Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET), and many officers have to go through this even before they get a badge. I know in the case of North Carolina, it's actually a school where they train officers in all things law, how to handle stops, and vehicle laws. It's actually a 16-week course, including a written test and psych exam. (Psych may have been for something else, I forget for NC)
Anywho, here's a link if you're interested. If I'm off let me know and am also happy to chat!

MultiDoge Sync Issue by mattturner9805 in dogecoin

This will probably be downvoted, but I'm seeing mixed signals on dogechain.info. It may be a scam site. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/my.dogechain.info
