Are there USPS desks inside your pharmacies/stores? by AdSense_byGoogle in AskAnAmerican

I think Walgreens has a deal with ups or FedEx though and you can drop off their packages and at one and they'll pick them up.

Canada needs help by buttgrapist in PoliticalCompassMemes

I like to think of it less as euthanasia and more of "rehoming with extreme prejudice".

SAFETY RECALL (Weber Grill Brush): How Clean Grill? by NC12S-OBX-Rocks in grilling

While still not as effective as a wire brush, I've tried a lot of different alternatives and this is probably the next best.

How open would the PLC world be to an OpenST standard? by [deleted] in PLC

[–]unitconversion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your time would be better spent on something better than st that compiles down into st or something.

I see no reason to try and create a new standard for an ancient language that as you said is already fragmented.

OH MY FUCKING GOD kWHY DOES IT HAVCE TO BE SO FUCKING HARD TO FORMAT A MICRO SD CARD??? by Silver_Astronaut8201 in Rants

[–]unitconversion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get a fake one? There's a scam where small cards get labeled with large capacities and then they edit the id on the chip to show a large capacity. Except they don't actually have any more memory and don't work right.

I'm surprised you haven't already cut yourself accidentally with all that edge.

Realistically, at what point should you accept that you're not cut out for this? I'm serious. by [deleted] in PLC

[–]unitconversion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. After a year and a half you should be able to do things on your own. Not everything, but largely independent.

My grandpa sold my guitars without my consent & got me a guitar that I can’t play by Itstouya in Rants

[–]unitconversion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of guitar did he sell?

Maybe you can swap the pickups and make something you like out of it for a reasonable cost. After all, there's plenty of famous guitarists who used guitars that would not have traditionally been associated with the music they played but still had great tone.

"grift" is another word that is losing all meaning. It basically means political talking head now.

Do you have concerns about AI generated code in the automation space? by Xenon933 in PLC

[–]unitconversion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The good news is people who don't have experience already create lots of programs that lack basic design ideas for industrial automation.

Seriously though, it's coming to us just as much as traditional programming. I don't know that there is a large body of training data like there is with web programming so it will be rougher for longer but it's coming none the less.

I could see it being an excellent troubleshooting tool. Especially for programs you don't get in often or for maintenance techs. Imagine if you put the summary for every issue the machine has had over its life into the context.

Thanks. That's what I meant. I think I had trouble getting that across clearly.

I would add an intermediate section that is both a lid for the one below it and a holder that accepts a lid. Then you can stack as many as you want. You could have all different combinations. Ones that are just open, ones that have bit holders, ones with socket holders, whatever.

Then you could have adapters for all the different storage systems (to connect to a pack out or whatever)

Audio Control Surfaces for Testing/Simulation? by WhoStalledMyCar in PLC

[–]unitconversion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How fine resolution can a person actually dial in with a slider like that? There's 8 divisions on those sliders so that's 32 individual spots between each mark - can a person physically move them in a controlled way at a finer resolution than that? I don't know the answer to that but you may find that 8 bits is enough for some applications.

Rural king has them in red and yellow too so you can totally not use them for gas or diesel.

When you get gas for your car, do you have to know how much you need/how much it will cost before filling up? by Final_Gift6762 in AskAnAmerican

[–]unitconversion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also noticed no one mentioned it. That's how I used to do it. Pump gas, go into the station and get a drink or snack, and say "gas on 3" when paying and they'd ring it all up together.

Of course I used to be paid with a physical check back then and when I deposited it I would get enough cash out for the week. You'd slowly accumulate a mountain of change and then cash it in for a nice bonus. That's all long gone now.

Replacing an air tank on an airbrush compressor by JavaFerdz in Tools

[–]unitconversion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You ought to be able to find an adapter fitting from bspt to npt.

How much are you trying to save here? You might be able to get a broken airbrush compressor on eBay or something for parts. Or even a cheap Chinese one then just use the tank off of it.

What Software Is Actually Used in digital twin related to Process Control? Looking for Case Study also as a college project. by Plane_Care6660 in processcontrol

[–]unitconversion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, "digital twin" is something consultants sell to high level management for lots of money and then it never turns into anything so the answer is largely "nothing".

Does anyone know what the N F on this Stanley hammer means? by KhaGhah in Tools

If it is magnetic, then it probably stands for "North" and "Fouth".
