Reminds me of Austin Powers. That bathroom stall attack scene.

Same. In our case we use copilot & we added instructions .md rules to not use reflection in unit tests to access sut logic.

But yes, agree. We shouldn’t have to do that. Nutty

It surprised me that developers who created said PRs didn’t catch it themselves. IMHO: with LLMs, we need to be watchful

Video of all the I/O components for the minion wash presentation

Video of minion wash conveyor

Decided on a suitable platform for the faux control system components. Built a conveyer that works well enough

Wires for minion wash. 3 inputs (run/stop, payment accepted, test) and 6 outputs (enter indicator, wet down, soap, radial scrubber, dangly scrubber, rinse/dry)

Giving a presentation about PLC ladder logic this week. Made a faux system to control. A minion wash - a car wash but for minions.

There are 3 inputs (big red run/stop switch, payment accepted, test) and 6 outputs (enter/exit indicator, wet down, soap, radial scrubber, dangly scrubber, rinse/dry)

Why dog, apparently, has given up. Has lost hope.

I can relate. I’ve chased whoppers in the past. Congrats

Daughter’s iWatch 3 won’t charge. Repair services exceed value. Will probably disassemble it because what’s to loose?

A) Replacing 3/4” copper trunk pipe with individual 1/2” PEX-A
B) Helping friend replace obsolete factory PLCs w something modern
C) Helping daughter repair refrigerator’s ice maker
D) Trying to repair daughter’s iWatch 3
E) Adding AC receptacle at sister’s house
F) Building screen room at parent’s

3 dog beds in a row. A large towel (adjacent to the beds) that is covered with colorful dog toys

Our beagle Lola had orthopedic surgery yesterday. A FHO. We pick her up today from MedVet Chicago, 5-hr drive ea way. Beds are vaccinated and toys are washed.

Yummm

An 8-port PEX-A manifold (that’s made from (2) 4-port manifolds). Ea w a quarter-turn shutoff valve. The 8th port is a spare and is capped off. This is for hot water and so the PEX pipe is red. Where the pipe bends sharply 90 degree brackets are used. The manifold is adjacent to 3/4” copper hot water line and is currently held in place with Ty-wraps. 4 ports go left and 4 ports go right.

had time this wkend to work on time-to-hot plumbing proj. Converting 3/4” copper trunks to individual 1/2” PEX-A. the 7 individual runs are in place & are terminated on the manifold. Next I’ll tie in the manifold to the 3/4” copper from hot water heater (manifold currently held in place w ty-wraps)

Wow. Looks amazing. Beautiful

Daughter said he jeep’s rear defroster stopped working. We discovered one terminal had torn off the horizontal conductive silver(?) buss. We cleaned both surfaces and successfully soldered it back together. Win 🏆

Hot manifold near hot water heater

Used 90 degree brackets vs elbows/fittings

Nice straight parallel PEX pipes

More nice straight parallel PEX pipes

I had some time this afternoon to work on my basement plumbing project. Ran (3) 1/2” PEX-A pipes from manifold to east side of the house - kitchen sink, dishwasher, washing machine.

Disassembled ice maker

Repairing a refrigerator ice maker

Helped daughter diagnose her refrigerator’s ice maker. Her model has a dedicated evaporator for the ice maker. A fan draws that cold air over the ice cube tray. That fan malfunctioned. We tested it on my bench. New fan from digikey.com $15, delivered. Some appliance part sites wanted ~$100+

I feel that @wesbos.com may know. I’ve heard him talk about related things on their syntax.fm podcast.

I follow @jensimmons.bsky.social and she knows a lot about safari. Maybe she can assist.

Nice. I’ll try it next time I’m in that situation. But also it’s a reminder that the assistant can help in lots of ways

Nice. Would you do anything different if you did it again? Design? Materials? Fabrication?

Wow. That was amazingly interesting

Oh nooo. So sorry. I’m a dad of 3, so…

Homemade/custom PEX-A hot water manifold. It has two 4-port manifolds cascaded together. One is pointed to the left while the other is pointed to the right, which maps to the fixture locations, half on one side of the house, half on the other side of the house. All eight ports have a quarter-turn 1/2” PEX-A shut off valve. One end of the manifold is closed, while the other hand has a couple of 3/4” copper fittings that will adapt to existing hot water copper.

Making a hot water PEX-A manifold - so I can remove long 3/4” copper runs and use 1/2 PEX instead. So fixtures get hot water quicker. Math says 3/4” copper ID versus 1/2” PEX ID is a ratio of 2.7 to 1

Wait. What?! Will try this first thing Monday morning

Hand drawing of a t-shirt and a camper w campers.

Thank you card from grandson: “Thank you for the Mario T-shirt. Thank you for the LEGO camper. They are both fun!”

My parents said the drinks in their (detached) garage refrigerator are exploding because the fridge is freezing from the ambient being 0F. Bottles and cans. Brr.

A guy installing an ac receptacle. Also visible are PEX red blue supply pipes and a 2” pvc drain

A white combination washer dryer. Black refrigerator to the left

Helped install a combination washer dryer. On a kitchen. Because the gal can’t reasonably access the main laundry in the basement. Brought in hot cold drain and electric.

Oh wow. Back then my son happened upon a promotion where he’d earn points when he used a new browser (Bing). He’d redeem points & receive Microsoft hardware in the mail. Game controllers, mp3 player (zune?), Bluetooth headset, etc.

As a suspicious parent, I asked WTH he’s receiving gear for free?!
