• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here!

Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year.

    iPhone to Android - phone recommendations?

    I just recently bought that exact SSD Hard drive. I could not resist that price for a whopping big 5Tb. But (there is always a but) the thing is brutally slow on a 3.0 USB port. Even 3.2 is slow maxing out at just over 100mb/sec on large file transfers. And no it's not a source bottle neck cuz...

    I sometimes wonder about this too. I have come to think they are mostly more alike than different. Pick your poison. There are only a few things that one can do that the other can't. For the most part, they are equals. But there are several things that drive the Apple or Android decision for...

    When AI doesn’t hear “ Sintered “

Then it actually thanked me for teaching it something. Bet it repeats the error though...... Apparently most AI programs including perplexity are...

    Tool Alligator clips for Fluke 77iii

    Sorry David, I'm late to this thread. I have and like the @Arbutus test leads too. In a pinch, I clamp regular double ended test leads (double alligator style) to the pin style like an extension. The gator cover will shield the pin too if the pin is inserted into the gator jaws length wise...

    Old stuff

    Others are prolly right about speed loading black powder loads. However, rolled paper shotgun shells were also used for shotgun shells when I was a boy. I remember the old boys sayin that plastic was good for crap......

    Corrosion can occur at humidity levels below 60% but it is rare and requires other conditions. For example, machinery that is colder than the room air and that have high thermal inertia can cause a boundary layer of high humidity air at the surface of the machinery that can result in corrosion...
