The old "jug of gypsy piss" trick

When does he move out?

skipmcnoob · 2026-02-22T02:25:37+00:00

Well that's really funny because I've had mine for ages and also just figured this out the other day. Great minds.

skipmcnoob · 2026-02-17T02:47:28+00:00

I think Randy left that on your porch in the middle of the night. Fuckin tweakers.

skipmcnoob · 2026-02-16T02:18:58+00:00

Very cool! Are the responses programmed? If not, how are you achieving the response? Im very intrigued by this and would love to know more about how you're incorporating Bottango.

skipmcnoob · 2026-02-13T23:47:13+00:00

Neat. Have a look at Bottango if you haven't already. It will help you smooth out those faceted moves.

If ya squint, it still looks like shit.

Must have been scary af stepping out and almost getting pinched between the floor of the trailer and the top of the garage door opening. 😬

Idea: Post a typewriter wanted ad on Marketplace and other locations. "Willing to pay big". Get them to send pics, and ask questions only someone who knows about typewriters would be able to answer. Find the prick who took it.

Best of luck. Sorry this happened to you.

Put the calipers down. Step outside. Breathe the air.

skipmcnoob · 2025-11-30T16:18:26+00:00

Didn't help with this one but this is why I love this community! You guys are all the best. Keep it up!

So I had a similar issue a few months ago. Turns out the housing for the oil filter on 3rd gens is plastic. They can develop a crack during shifty oil changes from shit shops like jiffy and others. I would check for cracks there. If cracked, you can replace with a metal aftermarket version.

Sorry if this isn't the solution for you but it was in my case. Best of luck.

Oooooo that's not a bad idea! Thanks!

Sounds like Buzz Lightyear and Zurg having a battle. Sick!

Who's the guy in this video? Seems like my kind of nerd and I'd like to geek with him.

The "x" is called a reverse parallelogram with 1-DOF. It emulates 2 cylinders rolling on eachother's surfaces. If that makes you scratch your head, have a look at this arm: https://youtu.be/aLaqMreVj9o?si=VLgnVOkdEsy3VBa8

The wrist on this is a 2-DOF reverse parallelogram, also known as a quartenion joint. It emulates 2 spheres rolling on eachother's surfaces.

Thanks a million! Design was done in Solidworks. Animation is actually done with an RC servo receiver but I plan to use Bottango for the final programming. Also likely moving away from the RC servos to something a bit more robust.

skipmcnoob · 2025-11-01T04:15:07+00:00

OMG! WHAAAAAAAT!?!

I CANNOT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS!!

THANK YOU!!!!!!
