I thought that too for a while, but the shine has worn off of photochromics for me because all the ones I’ve owned have lasted grand total of about a year or in some cases less before they’ve worn out and no longer darken in the sun. The longest lasting chunk of the stuff I’ve ever managed to own was the visor on my motorcycle helmet, a Bell Qualifier DLX, but that also had the tradeoff of never actually getting dark enough to be useful so I had to wear normal sunglasses under it anyway which really rather defeats the purpose.

Instead when I’m feeling particularly cyberpunk these days I bust out my old pair of CTRL shades. They have their own inherent drawback though, in that even though I managed to score my pair free through my job at the time I’m still afraid to do anything heavy duty while wearing them lest I break the damn things. That’s because it’d cost me $300 for another pair.

Some tools do have specific pressure requirements. You can try running an HVLP paint sprayer at the full 120 but you’re really not going to have a good time doing it. Low pressure is right there in the name, come to think of it.

If you’re using a nail gun with smaller nails you’ll probably need to wind down your pressure, too. If you’re using little brad nails and give them the full Monty you might find that they don’t remain in the workpiece but have rather affixed it to your bench instead.

Allow me then to introduce you to Rock of Ages, an Atlus game (and its sequel) where this is the whole idea.

Sisyphus has had it exactly up to here with this shit, and realizes that he has at his disposal a large round rock and an even larger hill. Which by definition most of his enemies are located at the bottom of. Hilarity naturally ensues.

it decreases the load on the motor as it starts up.

Uh. How, though? The regulator is on the output end and has nothing whatsoever to do with how the motor and pistons put air into the tank. The compressor is going to pressurize its tank up to its pressure shutoff setpoint as fast as and indeed at the only speed it’s capable of running. If the pressure setpoint is even adjustable (it probably isn’t), diddling with that is only going to accomplish making your motor start and stop a bunch of times as you stairstep it up to whatever your maximum pressure is.

Big time commercial or industrial compressors rated for constant duty cycles may and sometimes do have variable speed motors, but I’ve never seen a consumer model with one.

I set the regulator on my compressor when I got it, and I haven’t had any occasion to touch it since. It’s set to 120 PSI, and it’s been somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty years.

Unless your compressor is either especially precise or especially crap I think you can safely ignore that whole song and dance. In the exceedingly rare instances I do need a lower pressure output I have a dinky little inline regulator I just attach to the bottom of whatever tool I’m using, which is inevitably a spray gun. The impact gun, air chisel, needle scaler, die grinders, drills, air chucks, strafer, and golf ball cannon get the whole enchilada all the time.

Luckily, it most certainly is not. Tesseract is a (probably now very defunct) third party client.

It doesn’t help either that the default web UI doesn’t actually clear off your notification bell even if you’re marked all replies as read until you force refresh the page. That’s kind of annoying.

Other interfaces like Alexandrite and I presume Photon do it a little better.

Or get sick of the avalanche of replies in their inbox, since you can’t turn off notifications for responses to a post or comment unlike on reddit. The only way to make it stop is to delete whatever it was.

Also I’m pretty sure by default if a user deletes their Lemmy account most clients also automatically delete all of their posts and comments. If a user gets fed up with us or decides the Fediverse is not for them, when they take their ball and go home that’s really what happens.

The fact that one of the most compelling things they could come up with promote Hydlide was having two whole speed settings really says it all. No wonder it cratered so hard in the west.

Ooh, I get to trot out my console humblebragging picture again.

It works. I was having trouble getting my emails, so I consulted my magic eight ball. It said:

Outlook not so good.

In the meantime, 0.065" trimmer line is fifteen bucks for half a kilo, in an interesting array of neon colors and strange cross sectional shapes that may or may not play nice in your extruder gears. Some adjustment of your extrusion multiplier is surely in order (0.065" is a shade under 1.75mm, at 1.651).

The developer behind Tesseract is the same user who has displayed the habit of preemptively banning users who have never participated in or even visited his communities, particularly those that were on dubvee.org. Apparently for ideological reasons, or simply for being associated with a particular Lemmy instance.

So at the risk of stirring up even more Fediverse drama by saying it, it seems like the findings above are squarely on brand.

Not to come over all Graham Chapman about it or anything, but I always found that type of behavior to be very silly.

Edit!

I got curious and pulled down the data to have a look. If you want to do this on Windows (don’t @ me about it, alright?)

Anyway, guess what! I’m on the list. I’m a celebrity, ma! I ought to be on TV.

The kind that fits. Nobody is going to be able to tell what kind of diameter and thread pitch that is by just looking at a picture of it.

If I had to guess, probably metric. Clean it out thoroughly, take it to the hardware store, and start test fitting. If you have a thread pitch gauge you can at least figure out the pitch, and if you have a pair of calipers you could measure the inner diameter and take a pretty good stab at the bolt diameter, as well.

This is all predicated on it being a standard thread pitch of some description because the manufacturer was cheap, and not something bespoke because they were bastards.
