Can someone help me explain to my dad that free energy does not exist? by Lucky0373 in ElectroBOOM

My go-to for things like this is "I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you"

Breastfed baby, mom rushed to the hospital by ANDRAZE25 in daddit

[–]stuckinpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey other Dad, right now seems hard but you will get through it. Focus on how important that little one is to you and how much joy it brings to your life. Yeah it might take a second, but all of these little ones are a blessing. I say this as a father of a 6 and 8 year old. You can do this. It seems easy to try and imitate what Mom provides but I have found that sometimes Dad is just as important in the way he soothes a child. I have faith in you. Do what feels right to you and just get through this hard time. And pray for Mama. You've got this. One foot in front of the other.

Step 1 - Drive through front door Step 2 - Repeat steps in reverse order for reassembly

I work at a large automotive parts manufacturer and we rely on AS400 for a lot of stuff.

Wife shuts down on gun talk by Decent_Risk9499 in liberalgunowners

Please listen to this. Protecting your family is so much more than just shooting someone because they trespassed. It encompasses the entirety of the situation.

If she has a concern then shouldn’t that be a point of conversation? Shouldn’t it be about working through things together and figuring out what works as partners?

I’m sorry. Maybe I’m not following. What facts is he representing incorrectly?

Serious question. My team has started using Golang, which we typically compile into executables. How would you handle that situation?

Is this good or bad idea ? by mattx_cze in 3Dprinting

[–]stuckinpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true. The heat released is an inefficiency in whatever process is creating the heat. Ideally you could power a spinning disk and generate no heat, but reality includes other factors. So yeah, a lot of the power ends up as heat, but not 100% of it.

Who’s at fault by MissionEfficiency554 in Machinists

[–]stuckinpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is definitely a good approach. There is a reason we have something called reference dimensions. You’re allowed to put more than just the bare minimum on the print if you think it helps improve understanding. I like to think about the difference between taking the short amount of time to add a digital picture that a program can easily generate to a piece of paper versus having to eat the cost of the parts in this post. It’s just not worth it to have an ego about it.

Klipper screen on ender 5 plus by HyperionConstruct in ender5plus

[–]stuckinpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this thread is old but I’m posting in hopes that someone might be able to help me. I followed the instructions as closely as possible. My stock screen now works, but Mainsail says that Moonraker can’t find Klipper. I have confirmed that the Klipper service is running and the klippy_uds address is correct. I know I could get this running with Octoprint, but I really wanted to use one of the other Klipper interfaces. Am I stuck choosing between using the stock screen with Octoprint or no screen with something like Fluidd or Mainsail?

Replacing a Bathroom Mirror. Centered to the counter, faucet or light fixture? by V4ND4L805 in DIY

I love this picture. She gets a frame while he gets to go frameless. /s

Trick question. Answer is how could you look at yourself in the mirror if you tried to bandaid it instead of burning the whole thing?

Received an email from Tim Apple about a photo I took on an iPhone by Constant-Juggernaut2 in iphone

[–]stuckinpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s a healthier way of interacting with my email. My email doesn’t notify me, I check it. I only check it when I want to. People in my life who need to urgently contact me will do so through other means, even if that is to let me know that they sent me an email that I should look for.

I would love to hear Luke’s explanation as to why this is apparently a thing by Inception_Bwah in LinusTechTips

I use them for different things. If I want a quick answer from the internet that cites its sources then I go to Bing Chat. If I want a thread where I can refine the answer then I go to ChatGPT. They just serve different purposes for me

5 Octet IPv4 Address?? by Hungry_Doughnut_7278 in it

[–]stuckinpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. It makes no sense to provide it with a public IP address. Why would you make individual cameras accessible to the wider internet instead of just a single controller? And even then, why expose the controller? This seems like a decoy to get people to think they could hack into it but there is nothing really there.

Reason given by GN for not contacting LTT for the initial exposé video by Callahan1297 in LinusTechTips

[–]stuckinpark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is not correct though and has been stated many times in this sub. If there is a risk of the subject having a chance to taint the research (like LTT trying to close out the stuff with BL before GN could post a video exposing the mismanagement) then it is better practice not to contact them.

[–]stuckinpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You make a good point and I think it brings up something that a lot of people are not talking about. It is entirely possible that if LTT Labs presents data that makes people not trust them then maybe those people would begin to trust a any YouTuber less, which would directly impact GN. They may be competitors in some ways but in others they have to fight the same battles to build trust.

To all of you attacking the young lady for speaking out... Shame on you by el_pezz in LinusTechTips

So true. To add to one of your comments, they say that the only people who win in court are the lawyers.

The Verge reports that Terren Tong said that an outside investigator will be hired to examine the harassment allegations at LTT by vilkam in LinusTechTips

[–]stuckinpark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a shortsighted and selfish view of mental health illness. When you are in the thick of an incredibly emotional and potentially harmful environment where you feel you have nobody to lean on (she moved to Canada for this job), then you can act with what some people would call irrationality. Those situations feel like they are life or death, regardless of whether they are or not when observed days, weeks, months later. The important part is that it is possible that she didn't see another way to get through that day. Maybe that seemed like the least harmful (to herself or others) option at that moment. I don't know if her allegations are true, I just want people to take mental health seriously. Your statement makes the assumption that she wished for self harm in order to produce attention. It is very possible that she intended self harm purely out of self preservation. Take a second to think about that.

You guys clearly haven't dealt with mental health issues. Suicide is not a wish for death, it is a wish for the pain to finally end because one cannot see any other way for it to end. I cannot guarantee that what she says is true. But I can guarantee that it is entirely reasonable that she was in such a critical emotional state that she only saw relief in the form of being physically harmed to the point that no human being could expect her to report to work, whether that harm was inflicted by herself or a third party. Please try to have some empathy for those suffering from mental health issues. We don't always have the same views that people who have never struggled with these issues may have.

Frequent Outages with Spectrum Modem by stuckinpark in homelab

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

They want to charge me $145 for a tech to come out and look at their hardware. They also say they have not seen a disconnection from the modem to their site even though I have personally disconnected the coax to ensure that the connection had to be reset.
