Ideally yes, but I’ve had to do this regularly for many services developed both in-house and out of house.
Solve problems, and maybe share your work if you like, I think we all appreciate it.
- Comment on Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom 1 week ago:
Your ignorant speech and actions say otherwise. People do care, otherwise you wouldn’t be responding, limp jackass.
- Comment on Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom 1 week ago:
You hate people who want to be genuinely free to the point that you support stripping freedoms from others.
I hate freedom-haters like you. If you don’t like it here, get out.

Another alternative could be epoxying some beefy metal nuts around the inner perimeter, mostly towards the bottom.

Fuck you ICE, you’re a low quality wack organization filled with scum who couldn’t even make it as regular cops.
You bring shame to your own mothers.

Works a treat.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 5 weeks ago:
Most systems I’ve interacted with used what’s called an ats, automatic transfer switch, to be sure you’re not energizing the grid so one can self support in an emergency.
I’ve never seen a system so far that wouldn’t run isolated, but maybe I’ve been lucky 🤷
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 5 weeks ago:
Sheesh I didn’t know the inverters may not run without a grid reference. Where have you seen that, what a terrible idea!
LOL imagine they skimped on a 555 generating 60Hz when in local mode.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 5 weeks ago:
Shouldn’t be a big change, the transmission system is the same no matter the prime mover.
When fires melted power lines near where I used to live in soCal, SCE would have trucks roll in, dig in new power poles and run the cable. Power restored within about a week, so long as they had stock on transformers.

sudo apt install beneath-a-steel-skyAnd you can start playing.
- Comment on Help identify a terminal type 1 month ago:
These are made by te connectivity, horrendous datasheets, but pretty good products. I’m more a Phoenix man myself but you work with what you’ve got in stock: www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/…/5872966
The drawings are found towards the bottom of that page, scroll way down to see “product drawings”.
I don’t think these care about malleability too much, they’ll pinch whatever you can fit into its maw.
Good luck, glad I could help 👍
- Comment on Help identify a terminal type 1 month ago:
Those are 100% spring terminals as the other person mentioned. I use these in my designs, you’ll need to press the orange buttons quite hard as they’re meant to work even in rocketry applications where bolted electrical connections may loosen.

Man I had so much hope for infinite, remember when Elizabeth opens a year for that dying horse and they’re accidentally on a rain-soaked street in the 80s?
- Comment on Island-wide blackout hits Puerto Rico on New Year's Eve 1 month ago:
Used to be a reliable publicly-owned utility, as we the streetcars. Profit inevitably destroys quality.

Anyone in my circles who’s had to fully interact with our US healthcare has, at minimum, said they understand the motive.
- Comment on Even better than a cart of apples 3 months ago:
I as well. Seattle transit, NEC Amtrak and NJ transit live off of these. If these systems work for them, they’ll work for us all
- Comment on Scientists Clone Two Black-Footed Ferrets From Frozen Tissues in Conservation Effort 3 months ago:
Very cool, no pun intended due to freezing of genetic material.
I like that the last lines are key: “we can’t lose the creatures in the wild, but if we do, now we have an insurance policy”.
