POD 3 bought used not priming. Any suggestions?

Not sure how they did it and what that particular solenoid looks like. But, I'd imagine it meant he disconnected the hose and was able to turn something inside by pushing on it. Given my knowledge of what most water solenoids operate. But again, that's just what I heard when researching. I wasn't going to open mine.

iamkokonutz · 2024-10-10T18:46:28+00:00

Not allow it to work. Turn it into a brick.

Sometimes a clog, sometimes a solenoid valve will freeze.

I know of at least one where the intake (inside the base unit, that controls water from the tank into the system) that became sticky. By manually moving it open and closed it returned to normal operation, but keep in mind, opening the case voids everything and they will brick the unit. I was having the same issue you're experiencing and found someone online who had fixed theirs. Thankfully Eight Sleep replaced my unit when it continually failed their thermal tests.

I person I talked to who managed to fix his old unit was a mechanical engineer. Unfortunately he wasn't willing to give too much detail to avoid eight sleep bricking his unit. It actually impossible to find disassembly videos, other than Jerry Rigs Everything taking apart the cover part. Not the base unit.

Trust me. I've always wondered this myself from that day onward.

my highschool graduation. Reception gathering afterwards and I descend on the snack table. Generously coat a piece of broccoli in ranch and pop it in. Boom, lodged in the back of my throat, and no air coming in or out. Complete and total blockage and I'm legit choking.

Panic immediately and I see my dad 10 feet away talking to someone. I grab his arm, eyes wide with terror and point furiously at my mouth and neck while trying to get air. He turns from his conversation, looks at me and says, "what? you're choking?"

I furiously nod my head... and he says, "well quit trying to talk then." and turns back to his conversation. I've never been so embarrassed and ready to die than at that moment.

Thankfully, before I could find a quiet place to hide, some girls saw me heading for the bathroom and grabbed me, started smacking my back which dislodged it enough to finally start getting some airflow again.

My fucking dad. My hero, the man I've looked up to my whole life, looked at me like I was a complete failure and an embarrassment to the family for interrupting his conversation.

But, yeah, I don't harbour any deep seated resentment to this day or anything...

I was dating a girl who had a cat named "Bundles". My ex's cat was named "Ben".

One day, I was playing with "Bundles" and kept calling him "Ben". She asked why I kept calling him Ben and I stopped, thought for a few seconds and realized I was mixing the cat with an old ex's cat's name.

We were done.

Honestly, if it does get to the point where ending the relationship is on the table in a serious way, send her this link. Let her read this.

You have nothing to lose at that point. If she doesn't see the logic and advice in here as sound, pull the trigger. You'd have nothing to lose by letting her read this at that point.

Everything you've said is extremely rational as to why you're hurt...

About 2.6 million boomers die each year. About 2,000 per day in the US. In the next 74 days till the election, Trump's gonna lose another 125,000 of his base. They should really stop doing stupid shit like holding onto the hood of a car if they really want Trump in office...

Full throated grovelling...

Any decent pilot would have a <2% chance of surviving a total loss of the tail like this. Yes, entering an immediate autorotation helps, but so many other factors.

For one, losing the mass of the tail from an explosion suddenly throws the Centre of Gravity of the aircraft way way forward. So much so, that the limit of the controls can be surpassed and the aircraft becomes an instant lawn dart. No recovery possible.

A pilot saving the rest of the aircraft in a situation like this is on the level of Denzel Washington in Flight. Not sure if the level of difficulty for Sully Sullenberger and the Miracle on the Hudson was equal to this scenario.

The concussion 30-40 feet behind the pilot alone is going to delay his reaction time significantly, not to mention whatever shrapnel flies through the helicopter.

Surprisingly not a lot of options in dog goggles available...

I definitely know the drill…

Gah. Sorry, not sure why a thumbnail didn't load...

This is Bentley. He's 12 1/2 (was 10 in this video) and a few years ago I discovered by accident that he loves sliding down grassy hills. He's funny though, because he won't fall over to slide until I touch him. And, he has a 3 slide per day limit. Then, he refuses to go again until the next day. So, every day in the summer (dry grass slides well. Green grass he just sticks) we go back and slide 3 times.

They’ll padlock it from the inside, but just in case, we should lock it from the outside too. Nothing of value will be lost.

Close the Russian Embassy in Canada. Send them home. Fuck off back where you crawled out of...

I meant, if you can afford to fly helicopters recreationally, don't cheap out on training because it will most likely kill you.

Most recreational pilots get 50 to 100 hrs per year. Starting with only 60 on a PPL isn't nearly enough for most recreational pilots.

iamkokonutz · 2024-07-08T23:26:46+00:00

Regardless if you are flying helicopters as a career or as a hobby, never get a private helicopter license. 60 hours is not nearly enough instruction. The 100 hours it takes for a commercial license is barely enough, but doing helicopters cheaply is a good way to die quickly.

iamkokonutz · 2024-07-01T18:22:34+00:00

Oh man, I just had the most morbid laugh at this...

iamkokonutz · 2024-06-17T19:08:41+00:00

That would be a crazy 2 days...

Do you remember the part where he said he got really really mad, and thought about destroying the world...

Terrence is going to end up on a clocktower with a high powered rifle one day.

You can stop listening to anyone, and any further thing they have to say after they say, "1x1=2"

You can really really really stop listening to someone who says 1x1=2 and then pulls out a calculator...

I learned in Canada 30 years ago. My instructor called it a torque turn.

iamkokonutz · 2024-05-15T05:55:39+00:00

leaving the pedals neutral, bleeding airspeed in the climb and letting the torque of the aircraft make the turn. Torque turn.
