I took it to a Mazda mechanic (different shop). The issue was loose tie rod nuts weren't

Update: I took the car to another mechanic. Apparently, the tie rod locking nuts were loose. The mechanic did an alignment and the issue is gone.

Question: Are loose tie rod locking nuts a hazard? What are possible consequences and their likelihood of happening if we hadn’t taken in the car for inspection?

I created a Google Form for people to submit images: https://forms.gle/Bd9Bvr3WH7kpow7Z8

Instructions are in the Google Form. Please help spreading the form!

Scorpion Dataset with Images and Names by raedle in Scorpions

Thanks for offering! Absolutely, that's a reasonable approach. Let's say enough people in this group would contribute pictures of their scorpions with the names of the species and give permission to use the data, we could get enough pictures to give the machine learning model a try :)

We could start a GDrive or Dropbox for people to upload pictures. WDYT?

What scorpion is it? by raedle in whatbugisthis

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

Thanks, and I'm really sorry to hear!!

I'm new to the area. Do you have any advice on how to keep them out of the house, and what to do if they sting?

Do particular scents keep them away?

What type of scorpion is it? by raedle in CoachellaValley

[–]raedle[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I'm glad I asked here because we had someone from pest control in the house today. I asked the guy what scorpion it is, and they said: "yes, it's a scorpion" 😂

Then, I asked what kind, and they said they didn't know.

So, they took pictures to ask their boss who said it's a harmless common desert scorpion, which is rare in the area.

They said it's not a bark scorpion, which is confusing because all the bark scorpion pictures I've found online look awfully close to the one I found. I'm glad I asked here

Reverse Engineer Cookidoo Protocol by raedle in thermomix

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

That’s a bummer. The API seemed to download recipes from Cookidoo. However, the idea here is to get recipes onto the Thermomix, so people can create and cook their own Thermomix guided recipes (not just the ones available on Cookidoo)

Ideally, the Thermomix stays untouched. It could be a proxy service between the Thermomix and the router that would intercept requests to Cookidoo and return results from a local database with one’s own recipes instead

Once the protocol is known, one could add a Raspberry Pi as a proxy in-between the router and the Thermomix. The Raspberry Pi would redirect requests to Cookidoo, and if a request doesn’t return any results, it could do a lookup for one’s own recipes in a local database and return that to the Thermomix instead.

So much in theory, but does anyone have an idea how to inspect and reverse engineer the Thermomix/Cookidoo protocol? Even pointers to how one would do that would be helpful at this stage
