I mean, what better way to sell a new and untrusted device than to put your own trust (and life) in the product.
Would you sell a bullet proof vest if you didn't feel safe wearing it?
Would you buy a bullet proof vest if its own inventor didn't feel safe wearing it?
Did you just "Well akshually" the original movie line? On an edited meme about someone complaining about ancient copper? Lol.
Look guys! We got a silmarillion nerd here!
(I'm assuming that's a silmarillion fact you're arguing, otherwise I'll look like a Muppet lol)
Turns out, it's illegal to remove them in the US:
I'll be leaving the cowbird egg in the nest, but will keep a close eye on the other eggs.
I've heard that the cowbird will retaliate if it finds its egg missing. Won't that happen?
Well dang...
Hopefully the Robin babies do alright.
Is that for real? How would there be two species of eggs together? Is it common?
To be fair, this project looks to be from 2020, two years before Twitter was sold off.
Yup. Best solution I've heard of for stuff like this out climbing in the drier is to scare the ever living daylight out of them (without doing any actual harm).
In this scenario, I would "trap" their arm with something like a notebook, make a loud racket in the fridge, and maybe even shake the door a bunch.
For something like a clothes drier, I would slap the machine a lot and shake it all about.
Basically, scare them enough that they lose all desire to do it again. Sucks to have to do it, but it's not like you can sit them down and have a chat about the dangers of machines....
I wanna make this as a cross stitch for my friend :3
I have an inspection scope camera that I'm attempting to repair. It's one with a camera on the end of a flexible rod to see into tight spaces. The pins that lead to the camera came out of the connector. I tried looking for teardowns or even replacement parts, but found nothing.
Two pins are still inserted, but I'm not confident they are in the right places. I want to get it working without the risk of frying everything. I've done my best to find where each pin goes, but there's not enough info for me figure it out on my own. The camera rod also includes an LED for light.
Here's a photo of the connector as it is:
And here is the socket with it's pins labeled (the labels correspond to the testing pads and not to the socket pins):
Here's a zoomed out pic if it's of any use:
I have a multimeter, so I can do any testing you can suggest. Unfortunately, I was not able to disassemble the camera to trace any wires.
Oh 100% you're right.
I'd wager this wasn't one of their first tests (and maybe not even a test at all). Looks to me like an advertisement/publicity stunt/demonstration.
I could be easily wrong since I haven't researched this exact event, but I think it's safe to assume it's more than just a test since they have cameras out.
