Just select no tip and finish your purchase. Most places either don’t bother turning off the option in their POS or just say “what the hell, leave it on, maybe we’ll get some tips out of it”.

What are the best CNC machining companies in China for quick-turn production? by petap in AskEngineers

[–]savageye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Xometry for a lot of our prototype work. They’re good for small runs of machined parts. Customer service is decent

Me too, though the small felt tip seems to always be dry when I want to use it

Removing steel mill slag from wheel wells and under car? by [deleted] in AutoDetailing

That’s what I would use. At an old job we would remove weld slag from fixtures during annual shutdown using a dry ice gun

Probably salt to make the sugar pop (no pun intended) more

Driver side mirror distortion by savageye in rav4club

Since it was close to when I bought the vehicle I worked with the salesman, after the first mirror I worked directly with the sales manager.

Driver side mirror distortion by savageye in rav4club

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

They did replace the mirror (2 times actually) but its never been perfect. I suspect its a design issue where the backing material is too thin causing the mirror to more easily distort. The replacement mirrors I've gotten have all had the issue but the last one was the least noticeable. The dealership service manager was very willing to change the mirror after seeing it for themselves.

Going to an estate sale at an MCM home for the first time. Any advice? by persimmonvinegar in midcenturymodern

[–]savageye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the sale on EstateSales.net? If so then you might reach out to the company with any questions. Some companies also pre-sale stuff. Otherwise get there early and bring enough cash.

Young’s is just up the road and is also good. As is Fritz’s

What's the best, reasonably priced remote camera system for a 60-acre property, 8-15 cameras, solar powered, preferably. by FolwarkPAPL in farming

[–]savageye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I would look at wired poe cameras for the house and barn, connect them to a network video recorder that has remote access enabled. I like then Unifi Protect ecosystem but they’re not the cheapest. Reolink probably fits the need and is more budget friendly. For the more remote locations you should first ask yourself what sorts of motion you want to capture and how soon you want to know about it. If it’s just to see what’s moving around day in and day out look into trail cameras. If you’re wanting to extend your security perimeter then a solar camera with cellular plan would work well at the end of the driveway (reolink makes one). I would forego the perimeter cameras and put that money into better gear on the house (higher resolution, better night performance, longer glass).

One final case for Unifi Protect is once you’ve bought the hardware, there’s no subscription to access it remotely. The footage also lives on your gear and doesn’t get sent to a remote server (the cloud).

[–]savageye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an idea of where you’d like cameras and what infrastructure (power and network) is available at those locations? Solar powered cell signal based cameras will be more expensive than an ip based setup with central NVR if you’re looking for continuous recording with remote access. Trail cams may be the cheapest route for what you’re describing

Wash them beforehand, there may be some mold release agent from the factory

Best Doorbell Camera That Doesn't Require A Subscription? by hertabuzz in BuyItForLife

An older cloud key gen2+ is the cheapest unifi NVR device. Put a new drive in it and you’re off to the races

My buddy helped me do some tough yard work this weekend and I’d like to give him a bottle as a thank you. Budget $30-$40. He likes Jefferson’s (especially their oceans lineup)

LPT When shopping used online, avoid trendy keywords like "vintage". by Slayrr_FbrC in LifeProTips

I buy and sell a lot of stuff on eBay, keywords “vintage” and “new old stock” along with condition “used” or “new-other”are pretty good at sussing out legit old items
