GnarlyCharlie4u posted:You sure it's not a ground loop? Disagree, save it if you can. meatpimp, you're on the right track with the capacitors idea, but yeah that does look like a mess. It's probably a power supply capacitor, which looks like those big blue ones. It shouldn't be too hard to replace them, or even pull them one at a time to test them, but I understand not wanting to dive into that spaghetti mess. It's entirely possible that it could be the caps on the board, in fact the end of the one at the bottom of the board looks like it might be blowing out? Hard to tell from that picture. It can't hurt to replace them, but I wouldn't count on it solving the problem. Then again, I'm not some wise old radio sage, so take my advice with a huge grain of salt.

Seminal Flu posted:Nope, I'm not sure of that at all. Whatever it is, it's strong. The hum is much louder than the input. So there's probably a single point of failure that I may or may not fix with a shotgun recapping. Too bad you're giving up on it, but I guess that's the way life goes sometimes. If the power supply stuff is elsewhere, I would start looking there: 60Hz is probably from the smoothing cap after the rectifier not smoothing enough. If that's how the power supply is constructed. Not that it matters at this point

Ether Frenzy posted:I hope the first thing you do is define 'makerspace' because that sounds like the Bay Area equivalent of 'a machine shop' to me. I know that this is probably just a joke, but in case you are serious: a maker space usually has tools for all sorts of things, not just metal. Metal, wood, auto, electronics. They usually work like a gym membership where you pay a monthly fee for access to the space, and you can use whatever tools you need to work on your own projects. There is a lot of tool overlap with a commercial machine shop, but the way it's run is pretty different.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:So that super cheap compressor bit me in the rear end today. Hard. It seemed like it was pulling more power than the original compressor, and my mileage took a big hit (about 7 mpg - I'm used to a 2-3 mpg hit). Locked up on me today on the highway. Did you recharge it, or did the shop do that? What's the chance of it locking up like that due to an overcharge?

Ferremit posted:Gah why is solar so full of bullshit and confusion. There are two reasons why I think that might not be a huge problem: 1) Those inverters might be rated for continuous output, not peak output. Do you have any model numbers or anything we can use to look it up? 2) Even if the above isn't true, it still only limits the rate at which you can pull from your batteries. Usually, the chain of devices to turn sun into a wall outlet goes solar panel(s) -> charge controller -> battery bank -> inverter -> breaker panel. As long as your charge controller can handle the maximum power your panels can put out in full sun, you'll still be able to take full advantage, you just might not be able to suck power out of your battery bank as fast as you can put it in (in ideal conditions). That seems like an acceptable problem to have, I think.

Ether Frenzy posted:The distinction happens wherever the winning side determines. It doesn't, though. These things are created by marketers to give easy names to demographics so they can target their ads. We all are the losing side. KakerMix posted:The 'millenial' label stretches so drat far though, my wife and I were born in the early 80s and played outside, phones with cords and know what it was like to use card catalogs and phonebooks. That we're lumped in with people that didn't do that sort of stuff like we did feels like it's incorrect. I'd say that the millenial label applies to people who were right in the middle of that change. A lot has happened all at once, both in technology and society as a whole, while we were growing up. My brother and I (early 90s and late 80s, respectively) both did all those things you mentioned, but I think we were some of the last ones. And we're definitely millenials, since we came of age around the millenium. I think the end of the millenial advertising bracket is the mid 90s? "Kids these days" aren't millenials, really, and I'm not sure what their generation will be called by advertisers. Raluek fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Jul 27, 2017 |

Ether Frenzy posted:It happens quick my dude. I laughed at the oldass 42ish dads of my friends, sitting around drinking Busch Light and listening to the Allman Brothers telling us all to enjoy youth while it's there like 'whatever, gramps'. It was yesterday. in 1990. the 90s were five years ago, forever!

Leperflesh posted:There's a "gen y" in between gen x and millenials. I'm a tail end of the gen x ers, and gen y are the people who were teens in the 90s and reached adulthood by 2000-ish. Millenials are the ones who came of age in the new millenium, so they're in their late teens to mid 20s now. This is false. Millenials are rebranded gen-y; afaik there is no consistent name for what comes after.
