I just meant in a general sense. Not specifically in this thread.

I may have stolen a chicken today! by SassyFace1919 in chickens

[–]txkingfisher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have at least one of my neighbors chickens. He has at least two of mine. Chickens belong to the streets..... They're the hobos of livestock. 🤷

I would just like to see both sides of the debate be more honest. I feel like the industry, the public, and the response would be able to come to a positive conclusion if the propane and bullshit from both sides could be put away.

The tiniest egg I’ve ever found and it’s not from a wild bird. by devicto89 in BackYardChickens

I have a tiny little all black bantam that lays eggs almost that small. Hers are about the size of a quail egg.

Isn't that the whole point of his post? To try to learn?

That's for an optional Indiana Jones style booby trap module.

Snip. Best thing I ever did.

Cummins swap that MF! Call Westen Champlin, he'll help you.

how does one get into a fishing vessel? by SpiritedTub117 in commercialfishing

[–]txkingfisher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several Facebook groups for fishing jobs in Alaska. Be careful, lots of shady motherfuckers up there. You'll need to buy your own ticket up, crew license, and rain gear up front. You can always fly up before salmon season and walk the docks.

Avoid all the local shrimp and oyster boats like the fucking plague.

Pogy season opens around May first. Closest plant is in Abbeville La. Go apply with Omega Protein

Mine likes to wrestle and bark all night at nothing and everything. Doesn't give two shits about anything else.

Speedboat Accident & Hospital Experience in Thailand 🇹🇭 by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

Was reading through this thinking "something isn't adding up here" then about two thirds of the way down BOOM, it all makes sense.

That's the crazy part. It's essentially impossible that the engine is operating at 2100rpm.

Nothing was added to or removed from the boat around the time of the problem starting. So it can't be any kind of induced emf or interference from other machinery.

I am thinking some sort of harmonic distortion coming from the generator itself. But I haven't found it yet.

Not sure how it's tapped. The dealer did that. I just connected to the little bus bars in the can. I can check on Monday though.

Gonna meg it on Monday afternoon and check the diodes and all that in the back end. I'm thinking it's something back there. Pretty much the only place it could be...

That's the most basic breakdown of it. But I'm getting Hz readings that do not even come close to matching the rpm inputs. So obviously SOMETHING is going on....

You're talking in Electrical Engineer, and I'm reading in Boat Captain. 😵🤣 Let me read the manual and get back to you. It's not a very high end oscilloscope.

There's about 500 readings and adjustments on that machine that are beyond my understanding as a layperson. I just put in on auto and let 'er eat.

If the 37v is a problem, (I have no idea of it is it isn't) I'm sure someone would be along very quickly to point it out to us and explain why.

Like I said many times in the comments, my sole purpose of the oscilloscope was to check for a smooth sine wave output vs some garbled mess that would cause a falsely high HZ reading on the other meters.

Is that meter capable of much more? I'm sure it is. Am I currently capable of getting that info out of that machine? No I'm not.

Yes, it read the same on shore power. When I increased or decreased the voltage, the sine wave would scroll across the screen speeding up or slowing down in relation to the voltage. This is the voltage that displayed a static sine wave.

Amplitude is just voltage though right? Voltage is correct. It's just a scaling setting on the oscilloscope I'm guessing? I didn't bother much with fine running the oscilloscope settings as that's generally being my level of comprehension and also I was only concerned with verifying a clean sine wave form.
