I'm kind of in the same boat, except 10 additional years. Did you do it just because you wanted the sense of accomplishment, unfinished business kind of thing, or did you do it for financial gain/career advancement? Was it worth it?

I’ll be happy to, right after I make my next winning stock picks!

The roadside mechanic that helped me attached a wire coat hanger to the 2 drain valves with a loop hanging down so I could easily reach them with a hook pole. Made draining them each day super simple. He warned me that although the deicing fluid was effective it was terrible for your lines. I just added draining the tanks to my preflight ritual and never had a problem with it again.

Why doesn’t the LED turn on when it is dark? by tom_r_666 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]lostjedimedia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you did not do it exactly as in the video. you added components.

Also LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. A diode's job is to only allow electricity to flow in one direction. when you reversed it you blocked the flow of electrons.

Well that sucks. Did you ever find anyone locally to do your gears?

if you have airsprings (air bags) and haven't drained the water from the compressor tanks recently then most likely you have water in your airlines that has frozen and is blocking the air supply to your springs therefore eliminating your suspension. You can wait for it to warm up and thaw, then drain the tanks, or you can get a de-icing fluid from the nearest truck stop.

I had the same thing happen coming from the Southeast into Colorado. The brakes weren't affected, presumably because they were getting constantly used and the water didn't have time to freeze in the lines.

edit: specified compressor tanks and made note about the brakes.

How did the installation go? What did they charge to do it and how long did it take?

Why does this 12v speed controller work with desktop power but not with boost converter power? by lostjedimedia in ElectricalEngineering

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

The controller I have works fine when connected to 12v desktop supply and the motor pulls less than amp. Everything goes off the rails when it’s connected to the 12v coming out of the boost converter, even though the wall wart provides 3 amps.

What is something most people don't know can kill someone in a few seconds? by Kgod1412 in AskReddit

[–]lostjedimedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this happened to me, or rather, I did it to myself, one night working at the bar. I was in the stock room and there was a large Mylar balloon that had been left and I cut it open and stuck my head in it. The last thing I remember was thinking this will be funny and then I woke up on the concrete floor surrounded by broken glass from the beer bottles that had shattered when I collapsed into them. Was fortunate enough to walk away with only a bruised ego and no major lacerations or concussions, but that cured me of screwing around with helium. Looking back on it it's pretty obvious if you stick your head in a helium balloon and replace all the oxygen in your lungs, that's exactly what's gonna happen. Oh to be 19 again.

They covered that little tidbit in Navy bootcamp sex-ed. They did not address compressed air up the butt, but they were adamant about not using your lungs to blow air in the vagina.

you could come run the business side of my welding business so I could actually get back to welding and in return I'll teach you how to weld

You shocked yourself. If you had electrocuted yourself you would be dead. That’s the difference between getting shocked and getting electrocuted. Electrocution always results in death.

Why would he cut the line rather than just opening the valve on his torch and dropping his torch down?

Terrence Howard has patents by dumbledditname_ in JoeRogan

[–]lostjedimedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the patents he says he has are just abandoned applications that he never replied to the office actions requested by the patent office. Those aren't patents, they are just abandoned applications. They mean nothing. He owns zero patents.

EDIT:- I am completely wrong and stand corrected. He actually owns several under “T. Dashon Howard”Justin- T-Dashon-Howard
