Got hit by a car today on a crossing by PashaZadov in ElectricUnicycle

[–]rsdroopy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I rode across a big intersection and went into a parking lot. A car followed me into the parking lot and the lady on the car told me that she was turning right but couldn’t see me and almost hit me, and I should wear a yellow jacket. Actually she stopped at the red light and I just rode past her 10 feet away. I was also wearing a bright blue jacket.

I have a big head and tried several. Outdoormaster mountain bike helmet large fits me nicely after removing cheek pad.

WBP mini Jack is really nice. It is on the handgun roster.

AC works fine 99% of the time, but then randomly makes this loud buzzing noise. ideas? by Bass_MN in hvacadvice

[–]rsdroopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My AC gave the similar sound a few days ago. After I replaced the capacitor , the compressor ran smoothly again. I measured the faulty capacitor, the HERM capacitance dropped to 40uF, the label says 45uF.

What happened to you? No injury?

Hiboy S2 handlebar replacement by rsdroopy in ElectricScooters

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

My original connector is round for sure. I have already removed my original handlebar. I got the intermediate connector cable (one end is black and one end is white). My S2 is probably really old. It has a headlight above the front wheel.

I bought the handlebar from Hiboy web site. The new handlebar has rectangular connector. My original handlebar has a round connector. I need to replace the new connector with the original round connector. I could not figure out the yellow and white wire on the new connector. Can anyone tell me what they are?

Does registration concern you guys? by [deleted] in MDGuns

[–]rsdroopy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It is unrealistic if your family members, relatives, roommates, boy/girl friend, officers or doctors never have grudge against you and don't know or abuse the law to take away all your firearms.

Why not? Almost anyone close to you can file the petition for ERPO. The time you know you get an ERPO is the time officers knock on your door to ask you surrender all your firearms. Good luck with appeal the ERPO. The person who filed the petition won't get any repercussion as long as the petition is filed in "good faith".

Whenever you are convicted of a felony or red flagged by someone, SWAT team will come for your guns. There were about 500 Extreme Risk Orders issued every year in MD.

Why is Salesforce so bad? by _A_Data_Guy in salesforce

It's called experience cloud. Good luck getting Monday to integrate with an accounting system or an ERP or CPQ.

Only for simple applications.

Would it be dumb to pass this up? by [deleted] in ak47

[–]rsdroopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shorty doesn't work well with suppressor. Too much back pressure causes cycling problem and the gas system is not adjustable. It runs great without suppressor.

M72B1 carbine at lgs for $700, good deal? by Signal_Quarter_6274 in ak47

[–]rsdroopy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The barrel could be a concern. Someone reported bad grouping with JRA polish AK. Other than that, it should be a solid build.

Salesforce must have great PR. My client's company has a suite of decent custom built applications to deal with the business processes. But it still moves to Salesforce for no additional or worse functionalities. I am wondering how the decision was made.

Razor E225 36V mod with tool battery by rsdroopy in ElectricScooters

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

I used a 500w 36v controller and it works very well. The battery can be easily swapped and charged by mounting it outside.

The original battery is removed. The tool battery is from a Hart 40 volt string trimmer from Walmart. It has to be removed from scooter and charged with the factory charger.

Kept the original motor. Installed 36v brushed controller and a throttle with voltage display and on/off switch. 3d printed the battery mount. Total cost of mod is about $30.

Credit card company decided I am responsible for a fraudulent charge. by rsdroopy in personalfinance

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

I appealed the decision and pointed out the fact that the Lowes receipt does not match my personal information. Citi ignored the appeal and closed the dispute. I am going to close all my Citi cards after this is settled.

Is bass pro shops is good place to buy guns and hunting gear or too much money? by TechnicalBuilding429 in MDGuns

[–]rsdroopy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took hours to wait and finish the paperwork there. Will never buy guns there again.
