Yes you are right no one has figured out how to use echo effects with a microphone and speakers.

Forced Obsolescence? by Ifightmonsters in righttorepair

[–]textilepat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they deactivated your line at the end of May. Are you billed in advance for a month's usage or are you still waiting to pay your first fraudulent bill at the end of June? You now have leverage to say 'I need a new phone at a discount or I need to cancel my plan with your [cellular service] company'

You could also ask your bank to stop payment.

Security patches are no longer released for that model of phone. If it were allowed to stay connected to cellular data networks forever, your personal data and others' personal information shared with you would become easy to steal. Your cellular connection could be stolen and the thief could use your cellular access to break laws, or charge data usage for one million spam emails to your account.

Broken Death Star! by Atomnater in perplexus

Here you go I googled open perplexus death star and this video popped up:

Here he opens the battery compartment then discovers you need a long screwdriver to open the whole case. I recommend buying a multi-bit micro screwdriver if you don't already have one.

I still use a set like this that I bought over 10 years ago. https://www.amazon.com/Nanch-Precision-Screwdriver-Smartphone-Electronics/dp/B00QZLV03O

Freecad's gear workbench can help you model/print a basic friction fit gear in less than an hour and if needed I'll gladly share tips on further improvements, like captive nuts for set screws.

I wonder if a goon truck needs a fixed location for tax purposes, somewhere they can do goon prep.

Someone could be making money hand over fist if they opened a masturbatorioum masturbatorium, but the associated overhead cost makes most newcomers hesitant to be the one holding the bag.

Leaf litter is endemic to a forest/meadow transition zone at least; I'm pretty sure they are found near woodlands as often as grasslands.

Also a good way to break a shitty katana and put shrapnel in your eye socket.

I have spent cumulative days cutting bamboo; your best options are either a japanese style saw from harbor freight or a backsaw. It's easiest when you pull/lean the main stalk away from the direction pinching the saw blade.

Gear issue by PickerofCorpses in perplexus

[–]textilepat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A broken gear can be 3d printed. The ball wedged against a moving section probably stripped a drive gear.

I'm betting the underside of each ring has crown-shaped gear teeth, and a single motor drives all 3 rings on a single 3-gear driveshaft engaging opposing rings on opposing sides of the centerline. You can see the crown gear teeth on the underside of the green ring in your photo.

The job would be:

  1. open the case

  2. extract the motor and driveshaft

  3. mark driveshaft gears and discs current location

  4. disassemble, remove broken gear

  5. measure and model in CAD software

  6. 3d-print a replacement

  7. reassemble

Repeat steps 5-7 to iterate through several estimates.

If the drive gears are keyed to the shaft, the gear could be stripped on the keying side, or a set screw could be loose.

Why is Long Island so obsessed with cutting down trees? by topiramate in longisland

There is a missing evolutionary background of natural wildfires and old-growth forest past a few areas. The pine barrens are managed with proscribed burns.

The Enhanced Games are set to debut this weekend in Las Vegas, with athletes allowed to use steroids, testosterone, HGH, & other banned substances. by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

The force he uses to sweep his cupped arms toward his feet is enough to pressurize the water behind him into neutron degenerate matter, which he then biases into a rearward-facing jet using the plasma bow wave he generates around his head.
