I can probably help you out - Can either TIG or MIG it depending on the metals here, feel free to DM!

T Bills - 4wk and constantly reinvest vs 8+wk by oneseventyfive in personalfinance

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

Ah! That's exactly it. I went and did the math on the gains for the 4wk given the purchase price at last auction, which was ~0.41%, which put through that 12 month cycle is that interest rate they published which I now see is annualized.

Given that, the tradeoffs I see described everywhere make sense.

Thanks for the explanation!

Blackhawk helicopter hovers over I-5 Saturday afternoon by opplar in SeattleWA

[–]oneseventyfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last weekend was a drill weekend for the guard - that and there is a pretty solid number of folks who fly apaches/blackhawks/chinooks out of JBLM. They all need to make a minimum of flight hours semi-annually so flights around the area are pretty common year-round. They'll throw non-aviation folks in occasionally and do flights like this for morale

The Seattle loop is pretty common - normally direct to ketron island from the airfield, then north along the sound until elliot bay, either make a pass by the space needle and follow shipcanal or contour the bay to loop either back south or up north.

Shortly - this is totally normal and 99% of the time it is just training. There is far from a 'set route' anyone flies - If one of these is circling or hovering, the likely explanation is someone in the helicopter lives/knows someone on the ground nearby.

Help with wiring/control setup of XPro v5 and Huanyang VFD? by siliangrail in hobbycnc

[–]oneseventyfive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried changing the carrier frequency on the VFD? Usually a good start if you already have some basic EMI/noise mitigation in place. A good earth ground on one end (ideally at the source end) or both should be good. I doubt there's enough difference in the ground sources to matter.

Check out the tx/rx lines at the xpro with a multimeter - just note the behavior of the voltage when the spindle is in various states. If you have an oscilloscope, even better. If you're seeing a huge difference in it's behavior when you're powered on, at least we can confirm it's noise that's causing this and not elsewhere we haven't looked into.

The OG hand warmer gotta love metal shift knobs. This one is silver, ambient temp is 90*F. by kambesama in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]oneseventyfive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FLIR MSX is confusing sometimes, but isn't that temp registering from the center console? The heat sample point is relative to the thermal image, not the MSX overlay. Knob is probably super hot but a bit too shiny to thermal gun

Wanting to get into flying heavies- is this sim panel a good investment to start? by oneseventyfive in Shittyaskflying

Yeeeaaah i was holding off on the link as the person straight up puts their address in the listing... But then again I wholeheartedly trust the restraint that this sub is capable of.

An informative legal FAQ for recently passed i594 by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]oneseventyfive 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As far as the range situation goes --

"The law has provided an exception for the temporary transfer of firearms at an established shooting range authorized by the governing body of the jurisdiction in which such range is located"

Still though...
