BrickLink Discussion Forum

I cant save anything on BLS, when I hit "save as" or just "save" the program
stops working, freezes entirely and won't let me do anything but quit out
of it. It asks again if I want to save changes before quitting and hitting "save"
there does nothing. I have a mac if it makes a difference. How do I solve this?

I prefer feral chicken, a nice plump 13 pounder. Let’s call it, wildchicken13

But seriously, we’ve turkey with sage sausage and cranberry dressing, sautéed
green beans, gizzard gravy and yes, mashed potatoes. Though not today. We’ll
be celebrating after my daughter’s out of the hospital, on Saturday. I really
look forward it, not the food as much as having the family together for some
few precious days

Family time is (usually) very precious!

Ah, and the pies! Can’t forget those. My son’s lady friend will be making them
this year, pumpkin and pecan I hear.

Sounds good!

Identification and sorting is not actually that hard for a human. Storing is
often the problem / slow step - that is, finding and putting the part into the
right storage location. I'd be very impressed if an automated sorter could
deal with sorting and storing let's say 5000 different parts.

Differentiating 5000 different parts is complicated, but may not be the worst
problem.

Parting-out a typical LEGO Set of 100 to 300 lots and for a quantity of 1 to
20 Sets (for example) represents a huge logistical problem in terms of number
of lots and for some items in quantity...

Frankly?

There are tens of those projects to be seen on Youtube; some ar already advanced,
but still not usable.

What you're showing is a general idea and a price.

Unfortunately, it's very very more complicated than this, and your prices
are way way off.

If you wish to sell 500$ a device that can differentiate bricks from technic
axles, slowly, why would anyone buy it when they can do it far faster and for
free?

Factory sorting machines are more around 100K or 1M$ worth, and they are fast.

I don't support collecting this kind of form with data especially for such
a vague project.

Maybe try to build and use one, and in a couple of years open a kickstarter with
real/actual results?

Wishing you the best!

Expandable & unviersal lego sorter

Viewed:

Topic:

Hello, i'm working on a universal and relatively cheap lego sorter (made
out of lego apart from a belt and the "tank"),and i need some opinions of pro
part seller on the things i will explains.
(I think i will later sell it in whatever website) Ah and my english probably
isn't so good, it's because i'm french. So, first, the sorter will
consist of a tank, place where you put the lego you want to be sorted, leading
into a belt, another belt, two vibrating plates to separate the legos, and finally
a brite room which have a smartphone (not included by the way) on top of it with
an app that recongnize the parts using an AI, nothing too crasy here, but we've
already used two motor and a hub. And i just thought that someone could steal
my idea so all you need to know for the rest is that you can use whatever box
you want for stocking the part (lego advent calender box to 20 by 20 by 5 cm
plastic box), and you can also use the number of box you want (within the bounds
of decency which is two 60m box line or 3072 diferent category but keep in mind
that the more category you add, the more slower it is, and the more part you
need to sort simultaneously).

If you are interested, please fill out the form, which I find more practical.

Probably got a kiss from the angler too, not something I would do but not uncommon
for a specimen like this.

Fish will be held below water until it gives a kick with it’s tail and swims
away, not released until it’s strong enough to swim away under it’s own steam.

In Off Topic, calebfishn writes:

Another important consideration related to the angler's ability to strike
this pose is that it is likely the fish was held for only two or three seconds.
To ensure the most gentle and safest handling of a trophy catch for live release,
t is best practice to keep the fish in the water, until the cameraman says "go",
and then lift, snap the picture, and lower the fish. Total time held up literally
only a second or two.

There is no reason this can't be a genuine photograph. First, there are
many verified records of Carp from various locations weighing over 60 pounds.

Also, the girth and length ratio certainly looks correct for a very heavy fish.

Also, the fisherman is in the water, and although we can't see, he may just
possibly be on his knees. (That's my position in many of my fish pictures).
The pose shown is very common for dozens of pictures of truly large fish, which
are not fakes. Plus, lots of people lift and carry weights up to 100 pounds and
more, without falling forward onto their faces.

The only thing that made me question this picture is the outlandish colour. Certainly
it is not a "goldfish", (Carassius auratus). But the explanation that this is
actually a koi-carp hybrid is reasonable, given that koi have been weighed in
at over 40 kilograms.

Only caught by a few people over the years but is well known and apparently goes

The write up says it’s a cross between a Leather carp ( real fish ) and a Koi

Come on guys, don't forget the laws of physics. Such heavy fish would make
the person tip forward and fall. If it were genuine, the guy would have to lean
backwards to compensate for the weight of the fish and not fall. Those fake photos
are made by people who're good at Photoshop, but got no clue at physics.

He's standing waist deep in water… Maybe that helps him balance? There are
plenty of photos on google images taken from multiple angles. I know that goldfish

Yikes, that sucks about the bad sticker sheet. There were so many poor quality
sticker sheets for so many years, and they can be hard to detect until it comes
