As I described in the audio, I wanted a switch by my bedside as well. I got a wireless kit with two transmitters.

I thought about actually extending the loop on the top left to also reach the bottom so it worked for on and off. But frankly, when I'm leaving the room, the switch is right in front of me and I see the "Off" button and press it. It's coming into the room in the dark where I had the instinct sweeping up on a switch lever :D

Thanks! The click is very satisfying. I often click it a few times just to feel it click LOL. I probably should get spare batteries for the remote if I'm gonna do that though!

Exactly! Muscle memory problem!

The kit I got had two remotes already paired, other one is by my bed. The problem is that I'm used to sweeping up my hand as I enter the room in the dark. The little remote didn't have anything protruding that I could sweep up. So I bent a wire to solve problem. Besides, it's nice having the original switch just in case I need it there.

What is a proper digital light switch? This works absolutely perfectly, was very quick and easy to install, and it cost a whopping $18.45 USD delivered for two remotes already paired and the receiver. How can you beat that? What make and model do you recommend should I decided to do the same thing to another room?

I use TP Link Kasa smart light switches. It allows me to use the light switch like a normal light switch but I can also control it from my phone. There are a lot of brands of smart light switches that do this.

@@BuffRobotiX Yeah I looked at those, I didn't need wifi (Or dependence on wifi) or control from Antarctica. I just wanted a simple affordable two-way light switch, and this worked great :D

​@@fromjesse The TP Link kasa switches don't "require" wifi. They function like a regular old light switch if there is no wifi available. Granted, to control them remotely you do need wifi. And if you don't want a device like that talking to the cloud, I cant blame you there! I have put a lot of kasa switches in my house and really do like them, but can understand why someone may not want random wifi devices. Also, based on how old that light switch and cover looks, you may have trouble using a smart switch anyway. Depending on how the light circuit was ran, you may not have a neutral wire available at the light switch, which most/all smart switches need. Sometimes the "hot" line is ran to the light fixture, then another Romex line is ran from the fixture to the switch, when it's ran like this the neutral is relabeled and used as the return from the switch to the light fixture. Newer NEC requires neutrals to be in most light switch boxes now, but it was never needed before.

@@Kelgrin3 Yeah, this is 1973 wiring. Copper though. So it's entirely possible that neutral isn't run to the switchbox. But anyway, I just wanted something simple, effective, affordable, and easy to install -- and this met all those requirements :D I did consider 3D printing a saddle that goes on top of the wireless switch to provide a traditional switch type lever but bending up the wire was so quick and easy.

It's that "Braided PE Fishing line" stuff. It's basically the Chinese rip off version version of Spectra which is used for crane cable, as I understand it. It is incredibly strong, and also incredibly abrasion resistant. I've never used it for fishing but I've used it for all kinds of other things, including putting buttons back on pants - I never had it let go of a button!

@@ignaciolibrera9092 salt in the bottom. I can get 40lbs of salt for water softener for like $5 or something at hardware store A lot cheaper than sugar! A lot less sticky too!

PS: The other substance was of course water. You fill it with water then pour in salt all over the bottom and let it dissolve without stirring it up too much.

​@@fromjesseAre those bubbles you see at the bottom of the fish tank?

@@ignaciolibrera9092 I don't recall there being bubbles on the bottom of the tank. However there were bubbles stuck to the sides of the fish tank. And there was also neutral density bits of sawdust and tree dirt and dead bug bits suspended between the upper less dense and lower more dense region. They had found a density layer equal to their own density and were just suspended there. But those weren't bubbles. Does that help?

@fromjesse yes, thanks

It was cold, just some parts were less cold than others! ha ha!

haha got you anything intelligent to add to it yourself, other than insulting me? In your own words, how would I have done the measurement in a better less complicated and more intelligent way? I clicked your username and saw the amazing array of great measurement videos you have... Oh wait, it just said "The armchair warrior from Damascus has no content as of this date" or something to along that general idea. I just love it how those who sit at home and do absolutely nothing to measure or learn are so critical of those who spend their own time and money to measure, learn, and share.

@ all you need is a simple transit on a tripod to set up and level on a beach. It’s that simple and all you are doing is making it stupidly complicated for no reason other than to confuse people.

@@DamascusSteel-j1f I didn't own a simple transit at the time, the only surveying equipment I had at the time was theodolites. Besides, a simple transit doesn't let me read to the nearest few arcseconds the actual elevation angle to the horizon. So this was still the best way to measure. Why don't YOU take your simple transit out and do as you say is better and upload to your youtube so at least you got more than nothing to show for your high and mighty opinion!

@ I don’t need to do anything butch I’m not trying to prove anything to anyone. You can rent a transit at any lumber yard or rental store. You cant cheat with that but you can with your Theo

@@DamascusSteel-j1f Well hold on a second, are you accusing me of cheating? Why? What evidence do you have of that? Btw you can cheat with anything. You can adjust a transit to read level when it's not, or the other way around. My theodolite fortunately has a level compensator that won't even let it get a reading if it's not level. Seriously do you really think that the horizon can't appear above eye-level on a highly refractive day? How long have you been a flat earth? Can you name a SINGLE unambiguous _measurement_ that shows earth to be flat? You cannot.

The little bits of plant and bug fragments can shift around in there and may block slightly more or less. And the viscosity of the fuel changes with temperature. And the flow changes with demand. All this together can lead to intermittent starving of fuel. And also note that the clogging can be any number of places before the filter -- on this it's at the inlet of the filter, but I've seen it also in the pickup tube in the tank. A shot of compressed air back into the tank via the fuel pickup line can clear it out temporarily. However, do NOT provide compressed air pressure to a plastic or glass settling bowl, they can explode! (I did that once ha ha ha.)

This is literally what’s happening to my case backhoe right now I’ll run it for a little bit drive on uneven terrain and then it just starts bogging down then I turn it off and turn it back on and it starts driving. Just fine for about 20 minutes rinse and repeat

I'm afraid bigfoot uses anti-thermal-imaging-technology!

@ still make a funny video

@ That's true!

Nope, came to end of 1000ft paracord spool! a fraction of a second after the video stopped :D

@@fromjesse its just so satisfying to watch. maybe you could take a longer cord next time 😂

@@ICANanimations haha I agree! It only takes about a minute to transfer 1000 feet and that's on only 3.6 volts to the 12v motor. And since the spool only holds 1000 feet, it's hard to get it to wind much longer than that. But I'll try to film the whole transfer and maybe at a slightly slower RPM next time :D

@@fromjesse I would appreciate that, thank you very much

I need to take it over to my friend's who has kids (and LEGOs!!) and use the lego men to pose as little operators!

Thank you! This collet is just a cheap ER16 collet I got off ebay and drilled/tapped it to the M14x1 spindle hub size, using my old 15"x40" Cincinnati Hydroshift shop lathe. It was an experiment and I still have a couple thou runout. My plans is to convert it to CNC, then I could just re-grind the collet holder in-situ for better runout figures. Just a fun project!

​@fromjesse Hey Jesse, what happend to that video of you debunking Chris Berry showing the sun's path in antarctica?

@@Earthislife1031 That was in the Arctic circle, not Antarctic... But here they are: There was two of them, since he wanted some modifications to the original criteria: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYWXkHeclNZ_i5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3nYhX6YlJdkrKM

@@fromjesse could you do the same for antarctica?

@@Earthislife1031 I _could_ but the globe pivot support comes in through the south pole so that would block the sun for part of the revolution... Unless I remounted the globe to pivot from the North Pole... But how's that any different than just turning the globe upside down and calling Alaska Antarctica? :D

@@bruna.brandt0303 there might be 7 sides. It depends on the number of leaves in the iris.

You are mistaken my friend. Laser was set to wide mode, and should have been visible. It was being obscured by the surface of the water. Try i yourself!

@fromjesse i don't need to try it.Somebody else did it at a range of 21 miles had no problem.Seeing the light at 5 foot off the shoreline.I'd say you're a moron

By putting in good bearings that have no resistance, allowing gimbal to move very freely! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn-8iGuAjLKJhbs

Can you please clarify what you're asking about? The basic principle of string break is much different than spring break. Basically a given string can handle so much tension before it breaks. When that tension is reached, it breaks. However, just being near that tension but not quite at it can also cause it to break if you extend the time at that tension.

Indeed! Andy you have some good mountains to measure peak to peak,there in California!
