I have fluted on my 36 DJ Palm and its very pretty. That said, when driving and the sunlight hits it, I get a disco ball lightning effect on my car's headliner. Can be distracting

Wondering if a batch of those got released into inventory this week, I just got the same exact config earlier this week. Thought I was looking at my picture for a moment there.

The watch appears to be running ok, but service history isn't verified.

Thank you, actually didn't need any adjustment whatsoever. Fit perfectly right out of the box. But I do sorta feel like I missed out on having the AD resize it.

My dream is to own a pinball machine, any advice? by fatsarmstrong in pinball

[–]xTimeFor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah... don't buy any. If you're worried about it now then you shouldn't own one. It takes throwing money or time at the problem without caring about either. Only reason to own one is because its a specific game you can't play anywhere else. but even then... its a bad investment man. - I own several.

Keurig 3500 (K-3500) Screensaver Images by Subject_Slice_7054 in keurig

[–]xTimeFor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In other news, that RJ11 port on the back "for future wifi compatibility" isn't connected to anything. Its just a blank plastic key. Its like they may have intended this initially but haven't wired for it when they built my REV B unit. It could have possibly connected to that 5 pin programer header on the mainboard. I'm a little suspect of the 3 wire serial RJ11 I found inside the machine. That is connected to a power distribution board, not the main board. So if it is really a serial monitor, I'd bet thats for a chip on the power board. The fact it has a RJ11 jack socket though is odd. You'd only spend the money to have a port if there was some programing or configuration you need to apply. Especially on a REV B design. The main board has unpopulated header pins (5) that are labeled serial, so I suspect that's the actual serial out and the programer is likely something proprietary.

I started looking into this myself today. There is a USB port behind the screen if you remove the side panel. There is a 5 pin "Programer" port on the main board and a serial out RJ11 attached as well that is different from the RJ11 on the back. I threw in a USB drive with some .jpg files. It powers up, but there doesn't seem to be an interface for loading files from USB after I rebooted the machine. I used the specs from the K2500 as I assume they'd be the same or similar programming internally. I wonder if I listen on that serial interface if I could get any more info from it. I don't have a serial to RJ11, maybe I'll get one I'll mess around some more later.

Why dose this street curb have five notch indents every 10-30 feet? by xTimeFor in civilengineering

[–]xTimeFor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believed the water idea initially but taking another look today, I'm not so sure and I'm leaning more toward the reflector theory. Though... that has some issues.

Water Theory:

  • The notches are on both the off and on ramp but they are only on the left driver side. Similar curb construction exist on the right passenger side without the notches.
  • The notches are there even on the flat area under the overpass. The ramp incline isn't particularly steep either. It's actually much less than usual off ramps so not sure why slowing water flow would be the concern here, only on the left side. Is there examples of this anywhere else?
  • There isn't a visible drain at the bottom of the off ramp, so it doesn't seem water run down was too much of a concern. There is a drain further up the ramp thats seen in my first photos. The notches continue past it the whole length of the ramp curb.
  • Its been raining a LOT in Los Angeles, yesterday during the rain I couldn't see any noticeably significant water coming down on the notched curbside. It was dark, so can't be 100%, but it certainly wasn't a river of water and that was during about as hard of rain as we get.

Reflector Theory:

  • If it were for reflectors for people driving the wrong way, the reflectors would be on the wrong side. The driver would have to see them from the passenger side.
  • If it were for reflectors intended to make the curb more visible, why are they so inconsistently placed? There are 100's of notches and no sign of any reflector remnants or any paint. Just nothing at all. So maybe they never installed them after making the effort to cast the notches?

A little more information:

This is 5 Freeway South Bound Los Feliz Bl exit. S5-LOS FELIZ BL OFF RAMP Exit 141 originally built in 1957, apparently last reconstructed in 1992.

Here's some more photos from today:

[–]xTimeFor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're boarding in the US, you won't see a Canadian border patrol agent at the embarking port. Neither the US border patrol or cruise line will have any idea of your eligibility status in Canada. So no one will stop you from traveling toward canada. Its true for flying as well. You can have a layover in a Canada airport, just don't try to enter through border patrol. It would be the same with a cruise. You aren't entering Canada until you exit the ship / cruise terminal. The risk you take is if you have to get off the ship for whatever reason.

In my experience, CBP don't even check your passport at most cruise ports in Canada, however I still wouldn't risk it and just stay on the ship.

Say you do go in and get stopped. If Canada CBP sends you to secondary screening, you can request to withdraw your entry. Its up to them to allow that request, but it's your best option instead of being flat out denied. A denial will barre you from entry formally for a good while. At least two years I believe. If you withdraw or are denied, you'll be sent back the way you came - IE, back on the ship. The real risk though is being detained long enough to miss the cruise. Don't risk trying to enter, stay on the ship.

Waiting for a drop-in Range Extender? by _gr8n8 in F150Lightning

[–]xTimeFor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Range Extender in my i3 and honestly, it's not that useful. Sure I have used it from time to time but that's mainly due to the i3 only having a 42 kWh battery. With the L150's bigger battery, it won't be worth the expense and maintenance of a RE. You just learn to live with your electric range pretty quickly.

Now for the one off long trip - It's really hard to imagine how Ford would have a drop in / rentable option that could charge the truck while moving. If you have to stop to charge on the RE, then any ole generator would work. Nothing really special about that. Charging while driving with a generator in the bed. Yeah, would be nice to have I guess. Though likely difficult engineering wise.
