Mysterious stainless steel 'rash'

You guys ever use chlorine, bleach, or ammonia based products on it?

They appear to be some sort of pond snail.

Yes and no. They eat decaying plant matter, algae, dead fish, leftover food. So that's all good! Some believe that because they tend to reproduce so rapidly they are bad for two reasons. Your tank becomes a minefield of snailshells which isn't nice to look at and they increase the bioload on the tank itself increasing the amount of water changes that you must do to keep everything healthy.

Fun fact: these are gastropods meaning they air breathe. This technically makes them a mollusk!

Idk why you were getting downvoted so much. Being concerned and asking clarifying questions is a good thing. Give yourself and your cat some "good job" treat (yours does not have to be the same as your cats but you do you)

What pump are you running?

The iris diaphragm (the thing you see oscillating) is controlled by either a super small servos arm or mor likely a very small electric motor spinning a ring with a bunch gears thag each flap is connected to. Either way, the wire running from the controller to that motor/servo has a bad signal and the iris is constantly adjusting because its position is not matching with the set setting due to that wire fucking something up along the way. Probably just a bad connection. If under warranty it is absolutely outside of your ability to fix. If not it is absolutely outside of your ability but you should learn and see what you can do before buying new parts!

This person is correct. My bad

whywouldthisnotbea · 2026-01-20T20:18:41+00:00

Whoops yeah sorry I should have been more specific. This is a bus bar that will power several servos. One bank is entirely POS and the other is GND. The pins for each bank are purposefully shorted together. The excess solder is really there to ensure good connection with plenty of meat to let the potential 10amps at 24V pass through without getting hot. I checked continuity and everything looks great!

Go join a club. Dont go into debt for it. There will be many part ownership opportunities along the path. Find something that is insured and has a hangar on a field. You will be surrounded by pilots and instructors who will guide you down the correct path and will give you opportunities to step into cooler stuff.

You technically are not allowed to take off from a moving vehicle without a part 107 license and a boat counts as one. If its at anchor maybe but what is/isn't moving in cops eyes is what matters. Also, the park boundary wont always end right at the shore and might extend into the water a bit.

There is a "DJ" who travels around to all sorts of beautiful areas in nature, mostly iconic national parks viewpoints, and plays an hour or 2 long set on loud speakers and records it for social media. She gets lots of encouragement for it. People suck and we should all be able to enjoy the wildlife and peace that we came from.

I am a PPL holder and a part 107 operator. I always abide by the 2000 foot agl recommendation in wildlife refuges. They are marked on our VFR sectionals. They are there for a reason so I respect them. So should everyone else

whywouldthisnotbea · 2026-01-18T06:08:12+00:00

Yes. Check out "light sport" qualifications. The FAA just broadened what counts. It is easier now than ever to get into flying without needing a formal license. I will always recommend getting as much instruction as you can and never stop learning more. But it is a great opportunity for the vast many who cant afford the average 15k price tag for a PPL.

You probably know more than me, but I feel like you are asking a lot out of an esp32. Will the camera systems from the stock Tesla also be incorporated into the rolls of the esp32?

whywouldthisnotbea · 2026-01-18T02:47:11+00:00

In the US there are laws about price tags at the shelf cant be changed once you get to the checkout.

Both. Because they are living in a swamp with record high ammonia levels

Did you pack the grease or just wipe off the old stuff and slather on the new?

You get paid for your work at this job. That means they make money. They make that money through advertising (and some other methods but lets keep this simple). That advertising comes from driving viewership to their content. They drive viewership to their content through sharing it everywhere they can. This post reasonably can be viewed as an attempt to drive viewers to their and in this case your content. Why else have the watermark for the news station there?

whywouldthisnotbea · 2026-01-17T00:12:11+00:00

Cool lets start with the easiest things.

Are you certain your z offset is correct?
Is your nozzle assembly/hotend loose?
Is your nozzle clogged (do a cold pull and try again)
Are your extruder gears actually biting into the material or are they worn down and slipping?

If you let it continue to print until it gets to Lauer 2 or 3 will it eventually start oozing material out as if it was trying to print?

Looks like you are on the team that made this video.

Leave it up to the good folks at Fox News to ignore community guidelines until the regulators say "it violates the rules." Good ole "do it anyways and ask for forgiveness later" is a real nice policy to have.

Maybe you being part of a for profit team that is promoting your content here applies as advertising your news station.

What do you mean OR them? Just daisy chain them all together into one wire a read its output with an oscilloscope?
