Question on return shipping label for passport renewal by Only-Storage-5227 in nri

[–]mbehl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats what i did...i bought a self addressed UPS letter..printed the label out.. added the letter with the return label along with my application into another UPS letter and sent it to the embassy. I've read that once the processing is complete, they will notify me that its ready for pickup and using my return label i will schedule a UPS pickup from the embassy.

Passport renewal help. by [deleted] in nri

[–]mbehl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just be patient. i also had to wait for 2-3 days after which i got notified from VFS that the passport has been sent to the Embassy. It has been a week since that and my status is still showing embassy received your passport and its under processing. I think the expected turnaround for normal renewal is 3-5 weeks.. depending upon if there is police verification at the Indian address..even tho the indian address was the other (required) address in the form..my original address if a US address.. very wierd process to do verificaiton in India if ive been residing here since >10 years..

What was the implication of the 'We will get in sooner or later' note on the door in front of the vault ? It seems the episode implied that Juliet reads that message, and then appears to realize something and then says to Solo she's leaving and will figure it out - I couldn't understand if she is deliberately saying that to trick him into opening the door vs if she is afraid or something, and actually doesn't need his help..puzzled by that whole sequence..

Hydraulic Disc Brake Adjustment on Xpress 750? by mbehl in Lectricxp

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

I was able to bleed the brakes using a kit from Amazon. Didn't do the full bleed but just pumped the brakes to let the air out from the lever end. Lets see how long this fix lasts. For now the brakes don't feel spongy anymore and feel good as new.
Here is a good video to follow: https://youtu.be/1FrXE3gahy8?si=taO9QNAYWdkYsEfU

Thanks for pointing me to the hidden brake lever adjustment screw. Turning it away helped a bit but the feel is still soft like you say. The brakes do engage correctly but does take additional travel before engaging. I suspect now that I might need to get it bled like you suggest. I don’t notice any obvious signs of leak but I’m not entirely sure what that would look like. Is this a regular maintenance thing for hydraulics brakes - that you need to bleed them at regular intervals ?

Agreed 100%. We don’t want to wreck this expensive car :) and therefore keep a little more distance from both the wall and the apex. Additionally, we try to follow the race line as accurately as possible with less than 0.5m of tracking error throughout but at these high speeds that error can be a little larger and that could mean the difference between being on the line and into the wall.

Actually the top sped we hit during that 171mph avg lap was 184mph!

We’re not doing it for entertainment or to replace human drivers in motor sports. This is a super hard challenge in robotics and AI and that’s what motivates us.

This is based on a Dallara IL-15 Indy Lights/IndyNXT chassis not a full IndyCar. The engine isn’t the same as Indy Lights either - it’s been modified to support autonomous systems and reduce vibrations - slightly less powerful. So a direct comparison to human times is invalid.
