1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

In my experience it's usually older family members that do this

 

He thought my work was a joke probably

 

Was in the cnc group, but yeah could be an older dude

 

you could do a pretty interesting case study on older people and how they use/navigate/understand social media. Like how my MIL has multiple accounts because she forgets her password, then remembers and re-logs into an old one and likes the same posts all over again

 

One of Stephanie's aunts

She's friend requested me like 3-4 different times for that reason with new accounts

 

haha yeah, I usually verify with Rebecca first like "so is this a scammer/hacker or did your mom forget her password again?" just to be safe

 

Too many coasters on my damn island

So, when my mom was over for a week she would constantly put a glass or cup on the table or island

I'd nonchalantly place a coaster under it, mostly when she wasn't looking or something

Fast forward to my recent visit with her, she had got us some stuff from Italy (the chocolates were so good)

However, she also got me some coasters since I may as well have regular coasters instead of my NES inspired set

Hit me right in the feels

 

Lights are supposed to be 185W each and I guess I never checked, real ones list 165W each.

I have them Wired in Parallel to with 12ga (CCA apparently) wire with a relay and 25 amp fuse... and that used to be a 30 amp fuse lol

The Baja Designs lights are like 10W each tho, wired in the same way on a 10 amp fuse.

the Engine Fan is also wired in with 12ga CCA to a heavy duty relay with a 30amp fuse, and this occasionally blows

the whole aux box is fed from the battery with... 4ga? unknown material wire from the battery

 

I think the Fan is listed as needing a 30 amp "slow blow" fuse due to startup draw actually being more than 30a in some conditions

I also have a 5a circuit for switch backlights and a USB port in the aux box

 

"If you don't get it, we can't be friends"

 

which Marvel movie is this from

 

Oh man I was way off

 

Oh, so they’re incandescents?


Part of me wonders if they were just overheating.

 

nope https://arbusa.com/driving-lights/arb-intensity-lights/led-intensity-round/

big LED array

 

Check your mail box

 

Ah ok. Still wonder if they’re overheating, if they have led drivers in them they might get squirrelly. Hard to tell much more without a scope

 

Bro no fucking way



Holy shit they're safety glasses but built like designer glasses



The side protection is huge too, my other glasses don't even have that



Damn, thank you

 

yeah that's definitely a possibility

it has an aluminum heat sink cover... I'll see if it heats up then maybe I'll take one apart to see if I should add thermal paste...

definitely I'm right at the "limit" of 12ga cca wire, so there might be a voltage drop leading to the flicker.
