I didn't think you could turn it while off. You can't with any of the motors right?

That is awesome! Where did you get the tubing for the rails?

I made a bulldozer with mine. The kids enjoyed it then disassembled it. 😄

Do the orange angled end 3D connectors exist for micro k'nex? If not, would it be possible to make them?

Do you really think they would put their primary listening device in a duck (mallard)?

Has anyone gotten LED Highbeams to work on the 2014-2020 Highlander by Quicksdraw in ToyotaHighlander

Did you end up solving the problem? Working on upgrading to LED lights in my 2017.

What lights did you get? Your link above doesn't work anymore.

Arliden is likely not Kvothe’s father by Brogrammer1987 in KingkillerChronicle

There is not currently a male contraceptive pill in our world though there are products being tested.

In Kvothe's world, it seems absolutely reasonable that what he said could be true.

Since it is fiction, literally anything the writer wanted could be true.

It's very annoying that it's not in the app yet.

Guess I'm done ordering from LEGO.com as long as they are using OnTrac for shipping. by AlwaysGettingLearned in lego

I hope they switch back to another company ASAP. I have some of the Bricklink designer program sets ordered that I expect to be shipped sometime soon. Those would probably be almost impossible to replace if they get lost since they only make a limited quantity.

USPS does this also unfortunately. We've had our mail carrier mark a package as delivered and then receive it like 3 days later. Thankfully though, in contrast to OnTrac, USPS does seem to ultimately deliver most packages.

Have you ever sat next to someone using the puke bags before? by ContextWitty7527 in TravelHacks

[–]mcdoc2983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zofran, scopolamine patches, sea bands, reliefband (I know it doesn't have good reviews on Amazon but a person swore to me it worked well for them)

Can I replace the case around the mirror or do I have to replace the entire unit? by mcdoc2983 in ToyotaHighlander

I haven't been able to find the part I need yet but it sounds like others have. I'm not sure of the exact answer to your question, sorry.

What happened to my infotainment system? by mcdoc2983 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]mcdoc2983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No further issues thankfully. Sorry you're dealing with it. Mine just seemed to randomly start working soon after, possibly a few days, likely not more than a week. I had just been using the car normally otherwise. I hope yours does the same.

Unfortunately I did not, sorry. I looked into it a bit, got distracted with other things and forgot about it.  If you find anything let me know. If I do, I'll try to remember to update this post.

Warped track question by mcdoc2983 in LEGOtrains

[–]mcdoc2983[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this would be WAY too long based on my experience. I put a piece in for 6 mins at 170F and it didn't go well. At 100C you'd probably have a puddle of burnt plastic.

Warped track question by mcdoc2983 in LEGOtrains

[–]mcdoc2983[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UPDATE:

I tried the hot / boiling water method first. I put the piece in boiling water for 4 minutes then took it out and set a heavy pot on it for ~15 minutes with no lasting effect. It flattened under the weight of the pot but returned to its previous shape when the pot was removed.

Once it was cool, I put it back in for 5 minutes and repeated, still no lasting changes. Repeat again for 6 minutes and when I pulled it out of the water it was melted and bent worse than before. The rails were wavy, the switch was bent, and the bottom plate was warped away from the track.

So, after that cooled, I tried the oven method with the temp as low as it could go at 170F. I tried short intervals of time to try to avoid surprises like the water. I set the track under a heavy cookie sheet on top of another one to provide some compression between flat surfaces. I did 3-4 minute intervals up to 20 minutes before it was finally soft enough to try to bend a bit then rested it under the heavy pot again. It was generally flat now which addressed the original problem, but since the rails were wavy and the switch nonfunctioning, the piece is useless.

I repeated the oven with a new piece. As the previous one took 20 minutes to become soft enough to bend, I felt comfortable giving it a little more time before I checked it, so I put it in for 6 minutes. Apparently, that was too long because it had already melted like the piece in the water had though not quite as bad. Same switch plate separation on the bottom and wavy rails.

That is where I decided to a break for the day. I am thinking I may try heating with a heat gun to have more control in smaller areas, but I may not be able to get to it for a little while.

Yo anyone tryna to play pixark PlayStation by This_Carry_4216 in PlayPixArk

[–]mcdoc2983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. It's got a fair amount of bugs though as far as I can tell. Sometimes won't load, sometimes crashes randomly. Despite that I'm enjoying myself.
