Not a stupid question, but if I post on c/asklemmy my post disappears.

Turn it on, motor runs for a minute until there's water under pressure. Works fine until I let off the trigger, then the motor won't start again for 3 days. Seriously, tried this a few times, takes 3 days until it will start again. Runs fine until I let off the trigger.

It's like a sensor is saying, "We got water and pressure, cut the motor off." To reset I think I have to take the hose off, not simply turn the water off. And wait 3 days. :(

All the troubleshooting I'm seeing revolves around power issues. Pulled to top off and yes, it's getting voltage all the way to the motor wires. Doesn't matter if I leave it plugged in or not. For sure not a power switch issue, tested with a multimeter.

If it helps, here is the model

EDIT: Found a YouTube short with comments saying replacing or cleaning the tip fixed it? Can't try it tonight as I have to finish cleaning my carpet tomorrow and if it cuts off again it'll be Tuesday until I can try again.

Sounds interesting, and I get much of what he said, but I'm not qualified to judge. Sounds great, and not just for AI, though that seems the company's focus. Thoughts?

Pic on the left is from the White House Corespondent's Dinner where Obama delivered the worst beat down of Trump's life. This was the event that got Trump to run in 2015.

Pic on the right is from the White House demolition to put in Trump's golden ballroom.

Art, life, one imitates the other, can't tell any more.

Why not us-east-2 if you need east coast? Even so, I'm almost as far as I can be (in America) from us-west-1 and us-west-2. The difference in speed is barely perceptible when running services out west. In fact, I think my Lightsail PiHole is out there.

As I said, I'm not aware of any historical issues at the other DCs. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I heard about the court ruling the ban unconstitutional, but I also heard DeSantis calling for legislation formerly legalizing it. Just watched a video of the Polk County Sheriff stating open carry was now legal.

So?! Sounds like open carry is now a thing? Judge says go, law says no. Am I missing something?

And no, I'm not sporting my Colt .46 at Aldi, just want to carry at protests and otherwise ignore our weird and confusing gun laws.

(editing an earlier post)

Just finished this morning! Spoilers below. If you intend to read the book, do NOT go any further. You need to take this ride with no hint of what's coming.

Nothing from the movies or pop-culture prepared me for this mess.

We don't get a solid description of the monster, but apparently he's horrifying to behold. What? Did Frankenstein make him ugly on purpose?! We're not told where or how he came up with the biological material, no grave robbing mentioned. An 8-foot humanoid just sorta appears on Frankenstein's work bench.

So the monster wakes up (we're not told what caused this), Frankenstein is horrified at what he's created...

Let us pause a moment. Frankenstein knows what the fuckin' thing looks like, he made it! He set out to create artificial life and accomplished it. And now he's scared shitless the moment his goal comes together?! Y'all, he had plenty of time to think on this.

...runs out in the street for 2 days, his bff spies him and takes him home. Frankenstein (who's not a doctor BTW, he's a college kid) runs upstairs and is relieved the monster has ambled off.

"Oh thank Heavens that 8-foot abomination before God is wandering around loose. Not my problem! LOL!"

The monster spends over 2 years in a shed outside of an exiled, French family's shack in Switzerland. And in all that time no one ever looked in there?! Guess he's got some sort of cloaking ability, because he runs all over Europe without ever being seen. "Oi! Luv! Was that an 8-foot humanoid monster in the woods?" "Nah, probably another hill giant. Damned illegal Norwegian troll immigrants!"

Monster has a tiny peephole to watch the family and learns French by listening to them. So where did he learn the English he later uses?! Also, he learned to read from the family teaching a beautiful Arab girl that shows up. Whole 'nother story there.

Frankenstein is such a panicky little bitch that every time he gets upset he goes into a fugue and goes nuts for months on end. He does this at least 3 times, if not more. "Boo!" "I have to go to the sanatorium."

The monster has already killed Frankenstein's little brother and framed a family friend, getting her hanged. He threatens Frankenstein to continue fucking his world up if he doesn't make him a bride companion. Frankenstein and bff are going to Scotland where Frankenstein is going to secretly do this thing. He takes nearly a fucking year touring about. "We spent 3 weeks looking at cobblestones." "Hadn't you better hustle up in case the monster gets impatient?"

Frankenstein spies the monster watching him work on the bride, freaks out and destroys her right in from of him. Um, I would not piss off an 8-foot monster with superhuman speed and strength. Monster says, "Catch you on your wedding night! K I love U bye bye!" Frankenstein, while looking around the house for the monster on his wedding night, sends his bride upstairs, alone. Guess what? Chicken butts.

Core of the story is Frankenstein and his monster making the same exact mistakes, over and over and over again. Then they lament for 10-pages about how sorry they are. Then they do it again. You can find the plot on any given shampoo bottle, "Lather, Rinse and Repeat."

So much more weirdness. And BTW, I think Frankenstein should have married his bff instead of his cousin, seemed way more into that guy than her dumb ass. Hell, I'm straight, but that dude sounded pretty tight!

tl;dr: Every single person in the book is a drama queen. 150 pages of drama queen. Makes one wonder what young Shelly was like IRL. Starts and ends with an exciting dog sled race across arctic ice! Everyone dies in the end.

To Mary Shelly's ghost; You did fucking awesome for a teenager! Most impressive! Next time, get an editor, dial it in. Great arctic chase though! Also, nobody in 2025 gives a shit what Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, or John Polidori wrote for that contest. Smoked 'em girl.

One more thing. Why did you blank out the dates? August, 8th, 17__? 1701 was a very different time than 1799. What were you hiding?!

Most posts to those 3 comms fail, but sometimes that's lemmy errors. Anyway.

Rough Rider .22 revolver. Shells on the right are spent, left are unfired. Cylinder won't rotate after the 3rd shot because the shells deform and poke up. Hell is that? It's like they fire, bounce back and crumple, which doesn't seem physically possible.

Sure seems like that's happening when shooting it. Tested 5 cylinders, .22 and .22WMR, all the same results. Scarily, I can feel some back blast from the more powerful .22WMR, which again shouldn't be possible.

Took it apart for some deep cleaning the other night, didn't see anything weird, put it back together. Still fails. And this is the 3rd such gun I've owned, not my first rodeo.

No one every sung, "Fuck the firemen!"

Shower thought inspired by this Short.

And while we're at it, my ex-FIL fought two tours in Iraq, won a Bronze Medal for successfully delivering a monster generator for civilian use. No issues.

Came home and ordered his men to cut houses in half with chainsaws, push them off the road, to clear a path through the Mississippi back roads, in order to relieve civilians after Katrina. They scooped corpses out of trees. Gave out Walmart bikes to little blacks girls so they could feel some semblance of "It's OK". I saw the fucking pictures.

Lived Hurricane Ivan. It ain't what you see on the news. Ever seen transformers exploding across the city, like blue lightning, one after another? Ever seen the Milky Way because there is no power? Ever heard that train sound for 10-hours, non-stop, terrified there's a tornado across the street you cannot see? Ever went to bed in the summer and woke up with no leaves on the trees? Ever wept in the street for your new city? Katrina was worse.

PTSD saw him leave his wife of 32-years, abandon his only child, my ex-wife.

Sorry if my prose is a mess, I'm crying, again.

Fuck these masked animals rolling all over our country. The 2nd Amendment is your right, whether you like it or not. Take that as you fucking like.

Haven't seen the 90s version of Romeo and Juliet with DiCaprio and Claire Danes? My god it's the first time I truly understood the intricacies of the story. Anyway, they're rich kids with ludicrous, but practical, guns. Have a search for yourself. Or, hit the real sauce: https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Romeo_%2B_Juliet

If I had the money, I've got loads of tackier mods in my book marks. Was afraid to bring this out in front of my friends because it's so silly. They shat bricks! Maybe they're tackier than I? :)

It's a Rock Island Armory .45. My wife's Filipino and my god do those people love 1911s and General MacArthur. No joke, they really do. When I first met her, I texted a long-winded, nerdy rant about the 1911 and Filipino history. She didn't reply for awhile. Thought I blew it being a gun nut.

Nickle plated all the black bits myself, and the mag now has a steel base-plate. Couldn't get the muzzle brake right, so it's plain stainless as well, and sloppily machined, best I could find. Makes zero difference in muzzle flip, only aesthetic. Added tritium front and rear sights. Feels great in the hand, shoots straight, eats any crappy ammo, much love.

Works great, but not quite as well as my Colt Government Model. (That's a joke for you Austrian folk.)

CAVEAT: Barrel doesn't work like a GI model, much more painful to disassemble, much more painful. Looked at converting it, not a good enough gunsmith ATM to attempt, but it can be done. Plenty doable, but I'm settling into an old movie and relaxing before taking it apart, not a field job.

EDIT: Didn't set up the rainbow pic, forgot how that happened. Looked cool so I moved the gun into place on the bench. That was at our tiny camp we have in a NW Florida swamp.
