21:21:34 <flyback> when I built my xmas tree back in 2010 or 2011
21:21:34 <flyback> I thought I was going to have to eventually add a rng circuit to break up the rgb auto color cycling leds
21:21:34 <flyback> but turned out they were so poorly made
21:21:34 <flyback> the timing isn't the same on any of them
21:21:34 <flyback> so they randomize themselves

21:21:35 <electrohead> Solar charger/controller for the LoRa stuff started outputting 5.8V, nearly killed my radio :/
21:21:35 <flyback> crowbars
21:21:35 <flyback> use them
21:21:35 <broccoli> oh man i should get a plastic tree for xmas
21:21:35 <flyback> usually those fiber trees have a space heater halogen 10w bulb in them and a stupid motor and wheel with colors painted on it
21:21:35 <flyback> I gutted all that shit
21:21:35 <flyback> replaced with 9 auto cycling rgb leds
21:21:35 <flyback> you could do even more with rgb leds with i2c control in them
21:21:35 <arch> electrohead, let me guess... china crapware?
21:21:35 <arch> victron or gtfo
21:21:35 <flyback> or at least add your own crowbar circuit
21:21:35 <flyback> sheesh
21:21:35 <arch> so i just replaced spark plugs from ye olde' crv. 2 of them are really dark and coated with more white stuff at the top (burned oil?) compared to the other two. could this be caused by stretched timing chain?
21:21:35 <flyback> I think so
21:21:35 <flyback> there's guides online, youtube etc
21:21:35 <flyback> how to read spark plugs
21:21:35 <flyback> btw if your engine is interference type
21:21:35 <flyback> any timing issues is fatal
21:21:35 <flyback> don't canuck- around

21:21:35 <arch> it's a honda k24a1 engine. chatgpt tells me it is an interference engine. https://i.imgur.com/XAbWaqs.png
21:21:35 <flyback> ewww
21:21:35 <flyback> yeah don't (null) around with interference engines
21:21:35 <flyback> if it says change timing belt or chain every 30,000 miles do it
21:21:35 <flyback> don't wait for 35
21:21:35 <arch> good ol' chatgpt. i foresee a bunch of codemonkeys in the future who have never turned a wrench destroying their cars from bad information
21:21:35 <flyback> interference engine = valves have to move out of the way before the piston comes up
21:21:35 <flyback> so if the timing breaks or slips
21:21:35 <flyback> you end up with smashed engine parts
21:21:35 <arch> yee
