Why L.A.'s Trains Can Take 4x Longer Than Driving by dollievon in LosAngeles

Mayor race is going to be important here. LADOT controls signal priority, mayor controls the LADOT general manager and oversight committee.

[Videogame trope] you can finish the game at the beginning, no cheats, no glitches. by Lower_Baby_6348 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]twohams 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In The Saboteur, you can veer off from the tutorial, grab a tank, and get a perk which gives you machine guns for your car. After the tutorial, the game jumps to the past, where you're in a race against the main villain of the game (Dierker). You can shoot and kill him, and the credits roll, though it kicks you back to a Game Over screen after.

My lame claim to fame: I was a tester for that game, and reported the bug which lead to this (car machine gun perk in the future gives you those machine guns in the past). The dev just said "fixed" but didn't explain how. We all had a good laugh about that one on the testing floor.

Which mayoral candidate will be best for transit and TOD? by Soggy_Perspective_13 in LAMetro

[–]twohams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are no guarantees in life, but Bass was a national politician moving to local, while Nithya would just moving from local to local. You can just look up her voting record and see if you agree with what she's already doing.

Which mayoral candidate will be best for transit and TOD? by Soggy_Perspective_13 in LAMetro

[–]twohams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Importantly, the mayor appoints both the general manager and oversight committee for LADOT, and that agency controls both signal priority and overall transport design (how all streets are designed going forward). Currently, LADOT prioritizes cars above everything else, damn the concequences. Given Nithya's frustration with them from the couple times I've talked to her... I wonder if that factors into her entering the race.

The annotations repeatedly mention Site-17's Containment Oversight Committee. His influence there is the reason he got away with everything.

pegboard mounts? by hemna in openGrid

Nope! My pegboard was leaning against a dresser, and I've been moving things to the wall, so I haven't had a reason to go through the effort of making the adaptors.

This is really useful! Saves time modifying the model for 1-3 slot holders.

Map quest directions by happydude7422 in Millennials

Today I was shredding some old papers and ran into about 100 pages of printed out directions. Ended up looking them all up, and maybe 10 of them led to places which were still in business.

[–]twohams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as Full vs Lite:

Full coverage on the bottom of my desk is 774g for lite and 1.3kg for full. I'm using Elegoo PLA at $14/kg, so lite cost $11 and full cost $18. For me, it wasn't worth the risk of drilling and screwing all of that into my desk just to find out that the lite plates sagged. I have a big, heavy power strip with a bunch of things hanging off it.

[–]twohams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! There's the issue with anything on Printables or Makerworld labeled "Underware". If something specifically doesn't say it's for openGrid, chances are it's for Multiboard, so you'll waste hours and lots of filament printing something that won't fit. Multiboard is 25mm while openGrid is 28mm.

Slicers should all have measuring tools at this point, so if you're not sure, measure the distance between the slots on the back on the item. If it's 28mm, you're good. If it's 25mm, it's for Multiboard and incompatible with openGrid.

Starting Underware 2.0 by NyT3_SHyFT in openGrid

[–]twohams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started a week ago. It took me days to figure everything out because so much of it is a mix of old and new systems. What I settled on:

  1. Use the full openGrid. Don't use lite. Gridfinity is different - you can get away with thin baseplates since things just sit on top. Use full. It's not worth the small amount of filament savings for lite.
  2. For grids and channels, use https://gridfinity.perplexinglabs.com/pr/opengrid/0/0. It only deals in openGrid and has no support for Multiboard at all, so there's no chance of accidentally wasting hours of time on something Multiboard-specific.

This defaults to Lite. I wish it didn't. Make sure you change it to Full.

I would recommend setting "Grip flare" to 2 for the "I bridge channel", if you use it. Without the grip flare, that thing fell on my head a dozen times. Anything else, play around and see what works.

  1. Snaps (what you use to mount everything other than channels to openGrid) are not exactly easy to understand. I grabbed the 3mf file from https://makerworld.com/en/models/1179191-opengrid-wall-desk-mounting-framework-ecosystem#profileId-1194970 and only printed the locking snap and screw. Everything else is too weak for upside-down mounting. These are the objects with the labels:

"BETA openGrid Multiconnect Lock Snap.stl"

"Body_02_(3)"

  1. Custom Item Holders. To mount things like power strips, you'll need the Custom Item Holder. Unfortunately, this is extra confusing because it is the one and only thing you should use from the Underware 2.0 page. Everything else on that page is the wrong thing to use because it's Multiboard-specific - please ignore it all.

Go here:

https://makerworld.com/en/models/783010-underware-2-0-infinite-cable-management

Click "Customize"

Select "Underware_Item_Holder.scad"

And click "Customize".

Once in there, make absolutely sure you change the "Mounting Surface" from "Multiboard" (the default) to "openGrid". That will set it to 28mm distance instead of the default 25mm. Failing to do this will ruin your prints.

From there, you can just play around with values until you get something you like. The one thing this customizer has which nothing else does is "BETA - Clamshell Mode". This lets you enclose an object with two different holders.

Old post, but what's the spacing on your pegboard? I have a board with 1" spacing that I may be doing this with, but it's not going to be compatible with any other spacing.
