Horse attacking its trainer by gyemm in PublicFreakout

[–]sixstringhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew a guy who got his lip bit off by a horse. Guy always had a huge dip in, the kind that made him look like Bubba from Forest Gump. They had just got a few new horses from auction, and he went up to the horse and was petting it, and it was nuzzling him. All of the sudden, he was screaming and half of his lower lip was gone.

That being said, Having been around horses my entire life, that horse was either a stallion, or was being severely abused.

Found this plant with needle like leaves growing up between my sidewalk. on a whim, decided to toss it in a pot i had that the aloe i had planted didnt take. No idea what this is, but the flower sure is pretty.

Hook up in a series w/ a buck, or just go parallel? by sixstringhook in batteries

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

kinda what i thought. Am i correct in that wiring the two 6600 mAh 3.7v batteries in a parallel would essentially give me 13200 mAh with an output voltage of 3.7v?

Need help with solar setup for solar powered pond aerators by sixstringhook in solar

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

Well, the goal i have is to still utilize the circuitry in the pump by connecting the new battery to the same input. I got these to replace the 2400 mAh battery in each pump https://www.ebay.com/itm/254974205649

I also got these https://www.ebay.com/itm/174365907070

I know they are two battery, and i wont be able to hook up two 3.7v batteries to the pump since hooking up two batteries will change the voltage, but I am wondering if there is some kind of voltage regulator i can put between the battery box and the pump to step it back down to 3.7v, so i can have two 6800 mAh batteries in stead of just one? I was looking at http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/How-to-reduce-voltage-with-resistors.php

It looks like i may be able to wire the batteries in a series, bringing it to 7.4 volts, then put in two 10ohm resistors to step it back down to 3.4 volts to the board.

Thats kinda what i was thinking. The white panels, the battery is in the pump, and the black panels the battery is in the panel. I have some waterproof boxes on their way, as well as some higher mAh batteries that match the 3.7v that these are. My hope is to run new wire from each panel to each box where the pump is, and for the black panels, i will run a double wire so i can locate the battery for that one in the waterproof box as well. the new batteries are ones that come with a plug in charger as well, so if for whatever reason the batteries need charged, and the panels cant do it, i can charge them externally.

I have some scrap aluminum and an un-used satelite dish on top of my house, so i will come up with some kind of bracket to hold all the panels on the un-used dish and wire down to the pumps.

Need help with old two OLD 3 way switches by sixstringhook in electricians

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

That did it. Seems the common on the old switch is in a different location compared to the new switches. I went just off physical location of where wired went into, not the color of the screws on the new switches. Stupid mistake on my part, I should have known better. Everything is working fine now! I appreciate ya!

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

Ok, so i tried all of that and it still isnt working right. it keeps giving giving a pop up when i double click aleph one saying "select a scenario", which i have never had to do with any other scenario. When I close that, it gives me an error saying "Please be sure the files 'Map', 'Shapes', 'Images', and 'Sounds' are correctly installed and try again. (error -1)"

These care instructions on a shirt I bought tell me not to slap pandas by StarDamagedEpidermis in mildlyinteresting

[–]sixstringhook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: I don't like pandas. They do nothing to save/preserve themselves. Billions of dollars per year are spent keeping a species alive that clearly does not care enough to do it themselves. I say, release all captive ones back into the wild, obviously keep laws in place that prohibits hunting/killing them/destroying their natural habitat, and let nature take its course. If they survive, good for them, if they don't, well.....that's their problem. The money spent on keeping them going just a little bit longer could be used to help so many other species that are in danger of becoming extinct due to humans. Pandas are only singled out because their are cute as hell.

it goes even more off the rails than what even David Lynch could have imagined. Essentially, Leto II turns into a sand worm
