Date: June 14th, 2025 8:43 AM Author: cucumbers i sold some arcane specialty hardware on eBay that i listed as "seller refurbished." in the description i reiterated that these were not new, but i had reset them to factory defaults and included all parts that came with a new unit.
some dumb prole bought two of them for $800 and now wants a refund because, basically, they "looked new" to him in the pictures, and he admitted that he didn't bother to read the description.
i never have to deal with this kind of prole stupidity when i sell my more valuable/luxury items Jfc |

I love proles btw. You've just been gay for too long to know how to interact with them |
|
Date: June 14th, 2025 9:29 AM Author: cucumbers i'm definitely not going to give him a refund, but i have to go through the hassle of reporting him to eBay, needing to ask eBay to intervene in the return request, etc.
i guess this is making me realize i don't interact with True Proles that often. most of the things i've sold on eBay are "high-end" or luxury items that proles don't buy. |

Date: June 15th, 2025 1:20 AM Author: ponyboy curtis (If I May, tp) I agree that a 5 axis articulated robot would be the bee's knees, but may I suggest a reciprocating actuator for your entry level model, instead of a motor? A motor would require a gearbox for speed reduction, then you'd have to convert the rotary motion to reciprocating motion, while a reciprocating actuator could achieve the same effect with less equipment. Plus, if the prime mover is a stepper or servo, you could really add some pizzazz with PLC controls.
If you're going through the trouble and expense of a PLC, it'd be a waste to use it as nothing more than glorified speed control potentiometer. A good touchscreen HMI would be ideal, especially if it's rated at IP65/NEMA 4X or better to protect your investment from ingress of all types of fluid. Then we could add mechanical or even electrodynamic vibratory exciters, maybe some mechanical oscillation, whatever we want. |
|
Date: June 15th, 2025 7:47 AM Author: cucumbers good point on the actuator as it gets the job done in one unit rather than having to build things up from a simple motor. easy to attach the dildo to the actuator.
a touchscreen industrial HMI might be more convenient. regarding IPx/NEMA ratings, most industrial equipment is built to high ratings anyway, so not a concern with most equipment. but it could be that any lubricant applied to this industrial dildo could in fact also lubricate the automation equipment itself, thereby extending the life of the automated dildo rather than damaging it. really depends on the lube i suppose. my suspicion is water-based lube would dry things out, whereas something oil-based could extend the life of the actuator and reduce the amount of maintenance needed. |

Date: June 15th, 2025 2:13 AM Author: ponyboy curtis (If I May, tp) Brother, I fucking love trading stuff. I just ignore most offers, since it's usually stuff that's worth about the same or less than what you're selling, but if you're patient you'll eventually have somebody make a crazy good trade offer.
For example, I used to buy police surplus Sigs and restore them, which basically means two tone Cerakote, new grips, and some bright enamel paint on the sights. My out the door cost would be about $500. I recently traded a P229 .40 for an AR pistol in 9mm and a S&W bodyguard .38 revolver. Another guy traded me a Kimber 1911 and a Beretta 92FS for one of my restored P229s. If you're not familiar with guns, both of those trades were worth $1k+ |
