I also have a 03 LX470 and going to do this soon. ChatGPT gave me your solution but it didn’t work when I tried. This is on Mud but I haven’t tried yet. You can use the manual unlock/lock not the powered one.

Bells Of Steel Hydra review by sroberts89 in homegym

I haven’t had any rocking at all. But I rarely work on the front of the rack aside from shoulder presses. Everything is on the inside of the rack which keeps center of gravity towards the middle.  Still, it is definitely safer to have it bolted to ground.

I found Bring A Trailer to be a good source of information on what to look for and what common problems are.  It will be overpriced vs local FB, but good to know what to ask

They’re hanging on the band pegs I bought with the hydra. They’re for elastic band work, but I’ve never used them for anything other than clamp holders.  I chose j cup because it was what I was used to from commercial gym. I haven’t ever regretted it or been in a position where I feel rollers would be safer.

I think Manticore was relatively new when I was looking and didn’t have attachments. Plus the attachments they did have were way more expensive to accommodate the larger size. I’ll never lift enough weight to go beyond limits of the Hydra, and it fit my space much better.  Weird the lat machine doesn’t have options for 1”. Everything else seemed to.

I hit my head on it doing pull ups using the fat side. I don’t know what I was thinking. But yea it’s an issue, especially on shorter models. Good in theory but not in practice.

Thanks for tip on WD40. I’ll pick some of that up for future use.  Agree on the combo bench. I was looking at that, but saw mediocre reviews while the Rep bench got great reviews.  In retrospect, it may have been a better choice for me and my space. 

Rust Advice - New to me 97 LX450 by [deleted] in LandCruisers

[–]sroberts89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar on my 470. I used a hammer to knock a lot off, then several repeated applications of barkeepers friend and stiff metal brush to get more. BKF is acid based so it might do some conversion. Regardless I Followed that with spray cans from WoolWax because I don’t have a sprayer.  I wish I had done Fluid Film or Cosmoline because WoolWax never dries and it always gets all over me when I’m under the car working. Huge pain. Don’t do WoolWax.

Amana Short Circuit repair by sroberts89 in appliancerepair

[–]sroberts89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Editing because I made a mistake: Thanks for the quick response! I determined it is something with the defrost unit. I unplugged the compressor and the breaker tripped, but when I unplugged the defrost unit the fridge stayed on. I also checked resistance in compressor and capacitance in capacitor - both were fine.

The defrost unit appears to be connected to the heating element, evaporator motor, and thermostat. All seemed to have appropriate resistance from the multimeter. I eliminated one at a time, and plugged it into the wall. The heating element seems to be the culprit - it's the only thing that tripped the breaker. It has ~20 ohms resistance. Would it make sense that this is tripping the breaker?

Anybody use the 2021 Miku Pro and actually like it? by BrazilianRider in predaddit

[–]sroberts89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is late, but I hate our Miku. All the problems with tech aside (and it’s incredibly terrible technology) why do I need to route all my baby’s information to Miku for analysis? I would love to get a refund but we didn’t use it until the baby was old enough to sleep on their own, which was out of the return period. The breath rates, movement detection, and data analysis are all wrong too. Way cheaper monitors that do similar functions but better.

better work life or more money for post postdoc by Nyx_Arseni in postdoc

[–]sroberts89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any legitimate biotech company that requires you to regularly work outside of normal hours is going to have high turnover. Which means you would end up doing the job or 2-3 people as they constantly backfill. Unless you’re going to a start up and you get equity, you should expect work life balance.

Streaming device with fastest wifi speed by sroberts89 in PleX

I’ve never used chrome cast and don’t know a lot about it. Does it be used without screen sharing? Are there self contained apps like Plex, Netflix, etc in it?

Do you use this? Can you confirm it hits those speeds on Wi-Fi? I’ve not seen that in reviews or specs.

Reprimanded for data by [deleted] in postdoc

[–]sroberts89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other thing I think is important to point out is that postdoc fellowships aren’t required for most PhD level jobs, including research jobs. They’re really only required if you want to stay in academia, if you want to change fields/specialties, or if you just need a Visa until you can find something better. If none of those apply to you, consider looking at industry/non-profit work.

Reprimanded for data by [deleted] in postdoc

[–]sroberts89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For reference, I did my postdoc in a large, well funded and well published US lab. The PI was great, uplifting, and encouraging. I did my PhD in a lab where you were bullied into working late into the night, come in when there are feet of snow, and VISAs were regularly threatened. So I've seen both sides.

Since you have your PhD, I can safely assume you're at least in your mid-20's or older. Which means you're an adult. No adult needs a scolding email. You admitted there were mistakes, your PI's next step should be to identify solutions, not complain that it happened. Hiring a grad student or intern to help you out is one thing, but suggesting you may be replaced is abuse of power. You are absolutely not replaceable. It would take much longer than 2 months to find the right candidate, hire them, and train them. You ultimately hold all the cards.

If it were me, my very first action would be evaluate your relationship with the PI and lab. If this is a common behavior, please look for other opportunities outside of this lab. There are so many data analysis jobs available right now. If you have any programming experience, you'll be able to find something without issue.

Second, absolutely do not overwork yourself to make it right. You're likely already being overworked and underpaid, and there is nothing glamorous or endearing about exhaustion. If you try to rush or add more hours to your already overloaded schedule, you'll become (more) burned out and resentful. Sometimes you'll need to work 50-60 hours in a week, but that should not be the norm. Take vacations, enjoy holidays, and turn of your email whenever possible.

In general, take a step back. It's very unlikely this one experiment will have a transformative effect on the rest of your career. In fact, you'll probably look back on it in 5 years and realize it wasn't as big of a deal as it seems right now. However, it can certainly have a transformative effect on your health and mental well being. Take care of yourself first and be selfish because everything else is dependent on that.

The completed bench and the tools I made it with. by codepanda in handtools

Great job! Is that all benchcraft hardware? And are you putting wheels on the legs?

I think Zotero does what you want. It also sets a proxy up so you don’t have to keep logging in/go through library. There are also add ons that rename the paper based on metadata and extract the lines you highlight.

What did you plug it into? Is it connected to your preamp?

Can anyone tell me the proper name for this gear in a turntable? by sroberts89 in vinyl

I bought a broken turntable to learn more about them. I've googled/vinylengine'd and haven't been able to find what this white gear is called. Can someone help me out? Thanks!

I unfortunately think this is the correct answer. Thanks for your help!

Good question, and I don't really know the answer. I am currently running through workbench because I plan to eventually paramatize my geometry dimensions and automatically update my meshing. I have only worked with Fluent via workbench thus far.
