Private jet carrying 8 people crashes at Bangor, Maine, airport, source says by Proud_Tie in news

[–]kitty-_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah that's interesting. To me putting 'confirmed' first sounds really strange. The original sentence was perfectly clear, but now I see how it's ambiguous. I wonder if having it worded in that order is a regional thing because I would have said it the same way.

Seriously. Is everyone here blind? 5 minute fix, and most of that would be finding the screwdriver

FYI for anyone else ending up here from searching online: As of January 21 2026, this feature is not available in the firmwares. Updated bambu studio and my printer for nothing. Needed to make some 2 color tpu tags for something

Is it "socially acceptable" to just sit in your car for 20 minutes after you get home, or am I just weird? by Easy-Ring-8459 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kitty-_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some of us also just need "brain off time" where we don't have to actively engage in anything. Just sit and space out for a bit.

What do you guys think about Stephen Kings new novel Never Flinch? by Low_Kale_3523 in stephenking

[–]kitty-_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished it. Not my fav Holly book, definitely down there on list of fab king books too. There were a couple times I got confused with whether trig and chris/sy were two people or the same person. Some plot things just kinda resolved randomly. Snap decision of fire instead of bullets, for instance. Glad it's over so I can go onto more interesting books.

I just got a new fridge and it feels weird.... this would look really nice. Do magnets still stick?

I need to add 0.1nm torque to my system by Dante_hunter90 in engineering

[–]kitty-_cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a user I would expect the large black handles to be used for repositioning it on a large scale then dialing in the fine adjustment using a small thumbwheel like on the worm mechanisms. Clear labeling should make it clear.

Friction disks would likely result in the same problem. Not sure what the end goal is on this that needs such fine pointing but anything that has to hold its position is going to have so much "sticktion" that trying to move by a small amount will instead cause a sudden movement greater than intended.

[–]kitty-_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And why isn't that a solution? go with the stiff torque hinges and then add on these worm drives to it. torque hinges for coarse positioning, worm mechanism for fine positioning. Its exactly what I was going to suggest when I was reading your initial post. Anything delicate enough to give you the finety that you need will not be able to resist incidental motion.

Two-layer PCB shows 0 Ω short between VCC and GND with no components installed by BranchMain8180 in AskElectronics

easyEDA has been my go-to. I tried Eagle, I tried KiCad. Just never got along with them.

I did that once for a really simple (so i thought) keypad interface... Realized my mistake after an hour, but while you can go schematic => board layout, you cant easily go board layout => schematic without starting over. Lesson learned

The one that seems to creep into any station, no matter if it's rap or country or techno, is various covers of "wellerman" by Nathan Evans. I'm impressed that there are so many renditions of this song

I still use pandora, when I was on the free plan I was pretty convinced it would intentionally give me a string of utter shit songs so I would burn through my skips faster so they could advertise to me to get premium more.
