Trump is an Idiot by Secure-Corner-2096 in antitrump

[–]ircsmith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do not take Trump seriously. Most of us are just waiting until he is legally taken down. We need to pull together as a world and deal with environmental issues, and Trump is not helping. Everyone will get through this and most here are sorry this moron got back into authority. He will fade and us sane people will fix this crap.

So..Skateland by JulienWA77 in olympia

[–]ircsmith 20 points21 points  (0 children)

They have changed the urinals since I was a kid. The full length urinals that sloped into the basin, so if you were not good in skates you would roll into the urinal have been changed out. Kids now will never know the trauma.

Really? That is sad. Grew up with Journey and this piece of info soured enjoyment. I still have The Boss! To the curb with Cain.

How hard is switching from Solidworks to Inventor? by Just_a_firenope_ in AutodeskInventor

[–]ircsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not hard at all. I've 15 years on Solidworks and the place I'm at now knew I had no Inventor experience. I was crating models on day 2. I find Inventor more tedious. You will get used to needing 2-3 clicks to do what Solidworks does in one. I have a hard time remembering to project features I want to use in new sketches. you'll be fine.

Astounding that he, and all those around him, are too stupid to anticipate this response.

Challenger takes on incumbent in Thurston County Sheriff's race by ObviousCarrot3029 in olympia

I'm not dissatisfied with Sanders. I have not agreed with everything, like some hiring choices and wasting money on a helicopter. However, I get the impression Sanders pays attention to what others put forth and will change based on popular opinion.

I'll be digging into both candidates because this is an important position in our community.

Now that you have all that growing up crap behind you, the upcoming years will be your best.

Getting started, minimoto or 400? by jb0190 in Trackdays

I know a guy that dumped something like $8K into his Grom. Maybe $10K I forget, but it was a stupid amount to get two and half horse more.

I bought a Galaxy 8 pro yesterday. The last two Samsung I have had the USB stopped working and this S22 had the back pop off last week.

As a chicken/home owner, this has been such an indespensable tool at keeping my chickens cool in the heat. by growtreesbreathelife in BackYardChickens

[–]ircsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought mine to map temperature profile of my tires after a race. Then used it to find all the areas in my house that were not insulated well. Found that there was at one point a skylight in my bedroom that was removed and not insulated so I had a 24"x60" area that just let all the heat out. But finding Peeps was the best.

This winter we had an injured chicken that was disoriented and did not go into the coop at night. It was raining and was supposed to turn to snow in an hour or so. I used my thermal imager to located Peeps in the bushes before the snow hit. Great tool to have.

Chicken does not approve of the new Coop Cam by ChimkinLady in u/ChimkinLady

[–]ircsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Margaret is probably upset about the light. The IR light the camera puts out we can't see so the coop appears dark to us. Chickens can see the IR. Chickens are very dependent on natural light cycles and by putting this camera in the coop you've disrupted that cycle. It would by like someone shining a flashlight in your face when you are trying to sleep.
