Forget everything that's going on, what's your happiest memory? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Mine is a bit more cerebral, my happiest memory is when my dad took me to take your kid to work day, it was a boring office job and I was bored, but the building was this huge glass pyramid, an absolute architectural delight. I was in the foyer sitting next to some giant leafy plants, I was sitting under one of the angled glass windows watching the rain fall down, it felt very cozy

What the fuck even has fiber? Like, I consider myself healthier than I was as a teen, less boxed shit and more chicken, stir fry is pretty good, corn, green beans, carrots, sometimes potato dishes.

But still my stomach is hit or miss with regularity

Idk about OP, but summer classes at my uni are super compressed. So like, everything in 8 weeks and most of the campus is restricted hours in the first place since (well most of the students aren't doing summer courses)

Aren't they already shutting down?

Yeah that could work, whats one more hole for a recharging port? Would have to put it on the bottom though just so my dumbass loveable cat doesn't start scratching on it

I mean that's a bit hard to do if it's the battery holder which I think it is, bending higher gauge leads into shape could take hours for me. having done some research I found it's not rated for that many amps and the leads are cheap nickel, I'm looking at a few options that can handle as many as 2 amps, or even a li-on battery, ( but that's going a bit overkill and like, I would have to find a way to charge it lmao)

Thank you so far though, this has taught me quite a bit!

I have not since it would rarely Be on unless i was with them, but hey just now checking the motor i noticed that this actually says 6 volts, but 4.5Vdc, that (could) be a screw up on my part, it looks like it pulls 1.58 amps

Yes please excuse my terminology since i'm still learning. that part on the back of the battery pack, ive never seen them do a circuit that requires a metal rail to complete, so you're basically saying I should get a new battery holder? I assumed since it just held only 3 AA's it would be built to withstand that much power but I guess I ordered a crappy part

So I've gone through a few variations of this, those three double A's are up putting 4.5 volts and this new motor is just about that and a little stronger than that smaller one. That was my previous motor that you see in the back. It's working pretty well when I have the cat toy on there. It's going pretty steady and I'm not getting too much heat from the motor like last time, though the battery rail on the back of that casing heats up quite a bit. Do battery rails usually heat up this much and I just don't see it because they're not usually exposed.?

I let it run for a bit just to see how bad it would get and it's not damaging the plastic or anything. It's just pretty hot. How much of a concern do you think this should be? Keep in mind this is going inside of a cat scratching post that is more or less just cardboard so I'd like to iron out any kinks before I install it

What is your personal favorite multiplayer game and what is it's fatal flaw? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'll start, RuneScape, it used to be about adventure but now it's about efficiency. Runner up, rust, very active community, but toxic playerbase and people usually abandon when a world isn't fresh
