How’s it inventory stacking up over there? In the US they’re sitting on a lot of cars

It’s fancy tap water. Amazing that Coke makes so much money off it

I use the back buttons as alternative shoulder buttons.

My right bumper button broke and I can’t find cheap replacement daughterboards, so bandaid it is. I can’t just solder in a new switch because the leads on the PCB broke. Seems to be a failure common mode for the bumpers if you ever hit the corner or drop it. The way the bumper is designed transfers the full force directly to the PCB instead of to the shell or any actual structural component.

A+ game development right there. I don’t like how Nintendo runs their online services (and actively opposes game tournaments), but you wouldn’t expect such a change in Smash.

The game is a mess. I watch my kid play it and it’s so less graceful than smash. Framerates randomly drop, lag spikes happen a few times a minute, hit boxes seem nebulous compared to attack animations.

You can use maybe a quarter of the roster for free. You may be able to unlock everybody from in game currency, but I’m not too sure. They also just… removed a character that wasn’t free. If I paid any money for premium content I’d be pissed

I did some low-effort Googling and now I’m seeing that maybe some sea critters like krill have the highest non-bacteria biomass.

Either way, none of these are beetles!

Pedantry is always important! I would argue that ants would be selected over humans by both mass and population

An NRA sticker and thin blue line somewhere on your pickup truck whisks that pesky statute away

Hence observations like these. There may be a good reason other than “they’ll wait on the star,” but that’s also a shitty way to treat others.

If he’s busy, he’s gotta deconflict or drop items from the schedule. Arriving on set late can waste the time of dozens of others and rack up unnecessary costs. Even if he pays everybody for the time wasted, that’s still time that could have been spent on other things that is just gone

“Well grandma was a little racist at times”

 

Here's a small update to my bento box building log.

This is a small air scrubber meant to cut down on some of the VOCs that come with melting plastics such as ABS.

I've printed all of the bits in ABS and they fit together well. Now I need to order some fans, filters, carbon pellets, magnets, and fasteners to get everything situated.

Building a Bento Box (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I got a P1S for my family as an early Christmas present. I'm interested in creating parts that may eventually be used in cars, so I'm trying to get things ready for full-time ABS and ASA production.

This is my 4th print using ABS. First time was an okay benchy which needed some flow calibration and displayed some slight bowing at the base. Second time was a good benchy which seemed dialed in. Third print was an articulated Onyx Pokemon which seemed great.

I've printed the main body for the bento box in 3DF transparent black ABS.

Some of my tweaked settings for success were:

  • Blanket over the printer. This is in my garage and temperatures dip. The blanket helped with the warping.
  • Setting the bed temp to 100C and setting the level to around 40mm down from the top with the chamber fan at 30%. Did this for around 15 minutes to get everything inside up to temperature.
  • Nozzle temp first layer of 260C
  • Nozzle temp other layers of 270C
  • Bed temp constant 100C

I plan on printing the other components and sourcing the parts spread out across December, so I'll post updates!

For the (probably small) subset of people who both own a Disney lightsaber and bench testing equipment and more! Great information for anybody looking into real-world RFID implementation, complete with signal analysis and general reverse engineering
