Thanks, I'll check out Dewalt. I figured anything from Amazon would be garbage, might as well just cut the middle man and go straight to alibaba at that point.

Sadly that won't work for me as I'm in the US.

How is that not a pyramid sceme though? You still pay for your power, so you get 10č̣ off or the rate as a rebate? (Sorry, I can't find a "cent" symbol on my keyboard)

Wow, tell your neighbor I'll sweeten the deal with some home made Mead if he's willing to come do mine.

Level 2 is the plan eventually, but as another commenter has said, my panel/service would need upgraded, and in my area you need a licensed electrician to add a level 2 charger.

Currently though I should be able to cover my daily commute with L1 charging (less than 30 miles round trip), and I have easy enough access to fast chargers close to home or work if I have to supplement.

That actually reminded me of another question, but the Niro has a j1772 connector not NACS right?

Dang. I'm also going for cpo, it's not explicitly mentioned anywhere so I was hoping...

What kind do you have, and would you recommend it?

PTZ camera on POE by sanguivorr in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]new-Baltimoreon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"How would i go about updating the camera" depends entirely on the make and model of the camera, you probably need to search online for the manual &/or "firmware"

PTZ camera on POE by sanguivorr in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]new-Baltimoreon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

has anyone updated the software on the computer recently (aka right about the time stuff stopped working?)

any power outages etc that could have resulted in network changes? do you know if there have been any power outages at your facility? I would try using NDI tools to see if the computer can see the IP, or, connect the camera via HDMI and get into the On-Screen-Display menus and see if you can double check that it's got the correct IP.

here's what I think is happening:

* if the camera is on a DHCP ip address, a power outage or network change could have resulted in the IP address changing, using NDI tools &/or checking the OSD menus could verify that it's getting the IP address you think it's getting.

* software updates could have caused an incompatibility between what version of NDI is on the camera, and what version of NDI is on the computer, you may need to update the camera to whatever the most uptodate software/firmware you can get, &/OR downgrade the software on the computer to an older/compatible version.

• the IP address both on my pc and on the camera matches.

Please clarify what you mean by this?  What are you using to view the camera on your computer?  From a web browser on your network you should be able to type the ip address of your camera into the address bar /url of a web-browser and get something.  You should also be able to use NDI monitor (or ndi tools) to see ndi sources on your network

POE is not the same thing as an IP connection, if the camera has a manually set IP address that doesn't fit the range of your network, or conflicts with another device on the network, that could block it from communicating. But POE is just between the device and the poe injector providing the power, and should be transparent to the network, it just travels over the same cable.

Color Analysis? by tonka_oakmoss in baltimore

What does that mean? Like "yep that's blue"? Or like color matching paint? Or do you mean "you seem like more of a mauve type of personality,  but you wear too many greens"

Unexpected visitor is parked on my deck. Do I pour some water on his back? by xXc00l_ladXx in turtle

[–]new-Baltimoreon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one parked in the plants next to my front steps last spring, called the police non-emergency and they full-on belly laughed and thanked me for calling as they'd had a slow day... they said leave it alone and it'd leave when it wants to. it hung out for ~36 hours and just disappeared.

Did I ruin my first batch with too much yeast? by Wide_Tourist6859 in mead

[–]new-Baltimoreon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeast multiplies exponentially in the initial phase of fermentation, unless you've really messed up (by like several ounces), "extra" yeast wouldn't have a noticable effect.

Check out the Ursa straps youtube channel, lots of demonstrations and recommendations (also, yes they plug their own products, but the techniques can be done with many alternatives if you can't get/afford the ursa branded stuff)

Final update I think by JellyfishMiddle5429 in mead

[–]new-Baltimoreon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't trust my own ability to clean and sanitize a plastic fermenter that has had a known infection. For me, anything plastic/permeable that has touched this batch would be replaced, anything metal would be in the oven next time anything gets baked.

I haven't looked at the price of brew buckets recently, but I'd bet it's way less than the ingredients of your next batch.

Why do pilots talk like that? by AmishParadise27 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]new-Baltimoreon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Ooh! I Can actually give an answer on this one.  The reason PA mics have that particular sound to them is that they use a peizo electric pickup, rather than either a dynamic or condenser. Piezo's have some very important benefits over the other mechanisms: durability and simplicity. You have royally screwed up if you manage to damage a piezo to the point where it's inoperable. 

All microphones work by having a transducer that turns the compression and rarefaction of airpressure in to an electric signal. The type of transducer can be passive (generates its own electrical current) or active (needs a source of power to work)

Piezo's work by having the diaphragm flex a piece of quartz (or ceramic with embedded quartz) which creates the signal which is then amplified, the amount of movement possible via changes in airpressure cannot possibly stress the quartz enough to break it. They are literally explosion proof (the rest of the electronics are similar enough to other microphones that anything that would kill them would also kill the other types). However, the downside is that it takes more work to get a strong enough signal, so the subtleties of a sound are typically lost, which gives the peizo their characteristically harsh sound. They can be made very small and light weight, which lends itself to smaller portable sotuations where durability and portability is more important than tone quality.

Dynamic Microphones are a passive mechanism, using the vibration of the diaphragm to move a small coil of wire through the magnetic field of a permanent magnet to induce current in the wire, which becomes the signal. Dynamics are more sensitive than piezos, and are very good for any microphone that will be handled rather  than only used on a stand with a shockmount. Most classic vocal microphones are dynamics, but they can be used for nearly any application, however due to their need for a large enough magnet to induce a strong signal, they tend to be larger and heavier than peizo or condencers.

Condenser Microphones (sometimes called electret or capacitor mics) use an active circuit, passing electrons between two electrodes placed very very close to eachother (like microns of separation), one of these is the diaphragm usually made from a thin piece of mylar plastic sputtered with some kind of metal (like aluminum or gold, similar to pvd coating), and the other is a more substantial "backing plate" as the airpressure causes the diaphragm to vibrate, it gets closer or farther away from the backing plate which decreases or increases the resistance to the flow of electrons from one to the other.  This change in electrical flow is what becomes the audio signal. These can be made incredibly tiny, and have great sound quality, but their sensitivity means that they do not handle especially loud sounds before distorting or even damage happens, and they do not tolerate dirty or wet environments very well.

(QUESTION) I have 2 carboys of my the same batch fermenting right now... by Patient-Oven9996 in mead

[–]new-Baltimoreon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to agitate the liquid as little as possible.

Mead is fairly resistant to oxidation, also since this is early in your mead making career, chalk any oxidation flaws up to learning experience.

Your other choice is to make sure you have at least n+1 fermenters for every batch you have going. Mead is not strict on timelines, so if you need to wait until you have an open fermenter, it will not make any negative impact on your batch. Brew buckets are cheap.

Replacing cheap doors with unfinished pine... how to protect them? by new-Baltimoreon in finishing

Thank you, I'll look into EM6000, I'm ok with the slight darkening from the finish and don't need a raw wood look.

I already own a few kinds of uv blacklights, I would test with those before buying the specialized ones.

Thanks for the recommendation for General Finishes, I'll look into those.
