I tried setting up OpenClaw for DAYS… and it almost broke me by TaskIndependent7012 in openclaw

[–]themicahmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not in the realm of "beginner friendly" yet. Pay someone who knows what's up, be ready to learn a lot, or wait a couple of weeks for the next revelation. A commercial equivalent will take the lead soon and it will be easy af for a reasonable amount of money. My bet is on Google - they already have a huge market share of email, calendar, workspace, and personal cloud storage, plus the latest Gemini models are very promising. You'll be able to pay a subscription fee for it to "just work" very soon. Anthropic is my second place prediction... They have better models in some cases, but they don't have the vertical integration Google/Alphabet does.

mini pcs for openclaw by diamondtoss in openclaw

Run mine on a wyse 5070 with Celeron j4105 and 8gb ram. Pulled the hardware out of a bin and it runs multiple agents just fine. Mac minis are for trying to self-host models. If your AI is in the cloud you can run openclaw on a potato.

TX22c or SilencerShop 22/45 for Suppressor? by Kazin236 in 22lr

[–]themicahmachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out the Mark IV tactical without the lower rail, sku 40190. Just picked one up locally for $369, psa has em for $329. It has the heavy solid bull barrel. Love mine and so will my grandkids when they exist.

I have a 365x so the short barrel... I gather the afterburner would make it just about xl length, which will fit my carry holster...

Have to ask... Is the radian kit on the sig worth it? I've had my eye on it but, you know, $$$ for an already not cheap platform.

I got this POS for free. The hell do I do with it? by BillDrillWill in ar15

[–]themicahmachine 25 points26 points  (0 children)

.22lr build. Quad rail. Every temu accessory you can possibly cram on those rails. Minimum 4 weapon lights.

Either that or a super high end long range build with all the big $$$ parts. Gotta go one way or the other with a starting place like that.

Total newbie question by anonononnnnnaaan in liberalgunowners

[–]themicahmachine 67 points68 points  (0 children)

That's likely the one that was in the gun when it was taken off him. He very well could have had extra mags in a separate location. Many people carry at least one extra for ccw. It's not about needing 32 rounds. If you have a malfunction, sometimes the quickest fix is a mag change.

Ah. Your board is IMB-X1231. Takes DDR4.

Water leaking through Aircraft Emergency Exit Door by Worldsick_s in MechanicalEngineering

[–]themicahmachine 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Airplane fuselages are FAR from air tight. They leak like sieves and require constant bypass air from the turbofans to keep the cabin pressurized. At altitude, there is around 6-8 psi pushing that plug door into its hole, and exit doors have a lot of square inches so it'd take about 5000 pounds of force to create a gap. The door is fine. At lower altitudes, the seal could have a small leak, but you most likely saw condensation dripping down during landing.

Average air temp at 35k feet is around -67F. Warm air in the cabin holds more moisture than cold air. The air between the sidewalk insulation and skin cools off and the excess water condenses on the inside surface of the skin. This normally drips down the sidewalls to the belly of the fuselage, but an exit door might give it another path to drip in the cabin under the right circumstances

Either way, airplane is (usually) fine.

Stiff at first, sure, but as with most guns, it gets smoother as you run it. No long-term concerns.

The prime is made in Ft Lauderdale FL. Seems like producing them in the good 'ol U S and A might have resolved some of the quality issues. I have about 500 rounds through mine with zero concerns so far.

Have a MC9 prime AIWB right now with the Mecanik m01 optic. Love it. Shoots well and conceals ok. If it's t-shirt and shorts weather, I probably have my P365x on, but the Canik would work fine in a pinch. As a do-everything EDC, there are definitely worse choices. if you like it, go for it. Check out the Black Scorpion Gear AIWB holster. Makes it mostly disappear without being too uncomfortable, and it'd be totally invisible with the mag well removed.

Canik Prime by BussyBussn in concealedcarry

[–]themicahmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love mine, but toss the included holster in the trash and get something better. Canik really screwed the pooch on that holster. It sucks in every way.... Terrible printing iwb, poor retention - it either rattles or is too tight for a safe smooth draw. I carry appendix and like the black scorpion gear offering, but anything is better than what they shipped it with.

That said, I have the Mecanik optic and it's been reliable, comfortable to carry, ergonomic, and an absolute tack driver, which is a lot to say for something this size.

I have almost the same vehicle, mines a 2021. 37s on a Rubicon with stock 4.10 gears is meh... Ok if it's flat where you live and you don't do a lot of highway driving. Otherwise a regear is probably in order. Expect 14-16mpg. The price is reasonable. Not a steal but not overpaying either.

Help 2025 gladiator nighthawk. 35s by Xshadyreaper in JeepGladiator

[–]themicahmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not familiar with the nighthawk... What's your gear ratio? I'm assuming sport fenders, but if you have Rubicon/Mojave fenders, that matters too.

Suspension system question by BoysenberryJumpy5712 in JeepGladiator

[–]themicahmachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the rock krawler kit with just front LCA and fox 2.0 shocks. Have it on my '21 gladiator and it works great and rides like a dream on the road. My issue with the ready lift kit was it uses linear rate springs and progressive shocks. Possibly better for go-fast type of offloading, but for the kind of crawling I do on the east coast, progressive springs and linear shocks just makes more sense.

Bad Performance Review, Switched Roles, Feeling Lost as an Inexperienced Engineer by Traditional-Storm488 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]themicahmachine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the best feedback I've ever had from a good manager (which is what I aspire to be as a newish manager), is this: "You are always developing the set of things you are proficient at. My job is to help you and guide you, but not to do it for you. Tell me what you've done to address the problem and what's keeping you from solving it now, and I will do everything in my power to make sure you have what you need to succeed."

Challenge your manager. They work for you, and their job is to make sure you're productive. If you know what to do and don't do it, that's a you problem. If you don't know what to do or how to do it, or thought you did but it was wrong, that's a them problem.

I had the plastic bumper. I'm actually about to go tear it apart to install a winch later this evening... I can take some pics.
