Gr8ful I’m not sure what you’re grateful for other than this forum as a place to post your crap. I stop being a supporting member of this forum, because of political nonsense and rants. I am now going to stop being a member at all while I do get valuable tips and enjoy sharing what little I...

If the motor has brushes, it won't appreciate being run in reverse. If it's been run in the original direction for a while, the brushes take on a "shape," and reversing rotation can cause portions of the brush to fragment. This can also damage the copper segments of the rotor.

I also have a Pixma, and keep it on an overhead shelf. It fell from the shelf one day while I was driving and fell about five feet. Still running fiine. Good quality, and doesn't take much power. Pretty much any small inverter will work.

She was wearing high heels? Guess I didn't notice <grin>

I don't know if this is of interest, but despite some opinions, Javelina's or skunk pigs are really tasty!! Reference: https://honest-food.net/cooking-javelina/ Just sayin' .......

Thanks very much for this!! Bet they didn't need a lawn mower either!!!

Please note that I didn't say that's what caused the arcing/overheating. I was commenting on the question of why would anyone leave such a device connected at all times.

One reason might be that many of the circuit analyzers also include surge protection. So once the testing is complete, the device can be left connected to protect against surges. They may not be the best form of search protection, because their Joule rating is low, But it’s better than no...

Maybe it was just one of those cartel subs returning empty to Mexico.....

Hi Carla618, Just two quick thoughts FWIW (quick because If I don't write them down, I'll forget them....) 1. The ampere rating is what the device is capable of supporting. Here's what I mean. Some folks think that if you plug a device into a 30amp circuit, that could blow it up, because it's...

I forgot to mention: If you take an aluminum object, such as a Diet Coke can, and place Gallium on it, it will very significantly weaken the aluminum so that you can crumble it in your fingers. So, it seems that an Aluminum/Gallium alloy would be rather brittle. Hmmmmm.

I'm sorry, am I missing something? Once again, we have the perfect conspiracy theory!! ? Big Oil (blessed be thy name....) is holding us back from producing free energy without any effect on the environment!!!! Except for the fact that "HH+" is a secret that only Big Oil controls, is a central...

I feel exactly as you do. I only wish I could have written it as well.

Yes. It's called a moderator

The pet pool has a drain on the side. I slide the drain fitting inside a 5-gallon water bottle, slowly lift the other end of the pool, and drain the water into the bottle. I only shower a couple of times a week, and when I go for supplies I dump it down a rest room toilet. I use about 3 gallons...

if only I had that much hair! Or strenth! Or flexbility! I do have a chair......

I'm trying to find used Pepsi (or dare I say it Coke" kegs but no luck so far. To collect my shower water, I use a "pet bath" https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B087WXVY9F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 It was pricey, but I've had it for 5 years and it's still goiin strong. It...

That's how I started. I had a Blazer, and had just left a disastrous relationship by basically running out the door with the clothes I had on. Left everything behind. Took the passenger seat out, folded down the rear seats, and put in a plywood "floor." Got a sleeping bag (and some more clothes...

Hi, Just a thought, but there a few companies out there that provide interface adapters for just about anything. If he needs a 9 or 25 pin serial port for the CNC machine, or even a parallel port, it shouldn't be hard to find. I'll help find it if that helps. And no, I don't sell anything. I've...
