inline resistors to go from 5v to near 0.5v-1v

I know this is not the right way, I know I'm wanting to do the wrong thing with the wrong parts

I have a 5v power line, a ground, and a potentiometer. I am trying to show the potentiometer bottom voltage is too low and causing a problem, I want to 'bleed' in 0.5v-1v additional voltage to increase the outgoing potentiometer voltage as a test to see if the problem of low voltage output from the potentiometer is the problem

I'm just going to put a bunch of inline resistors and a diode inline and see what happens but I'd rather find something with less connections

odds they'll f it up? losing faith in CLASSIC plus

So many retail streamers are pushing for SOD+, retail lite BS. it feels like Allen Brack's 'you think you do' is running the program and I'm losing hope of an actual classic+ game

1st gen dr brush mower drive chain

my old dr brush mower broke the drive chain, want to just order it so it's here this weekend, but I don't think the internet it giving me the right one, I think they're giving me the modern one, not the mower with the big bicycle wheels https://www.drpowerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/DRFAB3.gif I can only find the " #41 94 Link Chain" and the page I used to use had good diagrams to confirm but I can't find it now

ty for the help

don't have a short memory, I get it, platner was a little different, but I'm tired of dems acting like they MUST have perfect backgrounds. they'll keep holding progressives to a standard they don't even keep themselves

retrofitting brake booster/mastercyl with two port front/rear 5/16" lines

so we have an 81 c6000, basically a 2 ton dually square body. it came with a remote vacuum booster(which isn't sold anymore, can't even buy rebuild kits). it has drums in the front and rear, two wheel cylinders on each wheel. original setup you could pump up to get a pedal but it would lose fluid after sitting, it was leaking inside the remote booster. I changed all the wheel cylinders - some looked bad possible leaks. I tried to put a hydroboost system on it, it kinda worked but still couldn't get a good pedal. then I tried putting a basic dual diaphragm 11in vacuum booster on the firewall, rubber lines busted. I replaced all the rubber lines and some of the hard lines. now we get fluid movement, I can feel/hear the shoes moving, they even stop the wheel when jacked up and spin it by hand, but no real pedal. I think in my process of throwing parts at it, I used a squarebody vacuum booster(73-87) and used the hydroboost master cylinder(99+) because the bolt holes were the same spacing

I was looking at the tuff stuff dual diaphragm 11in booster/mastercyl setup, but it has 3/8in fittings and uses 1/4in line

so I'm asking, anyone know of a booster/mastercyl setup with two 1/2in fitting on 5/16in line? we put an engine in this thing almost a decade ago and still have to stop it by running into a 6x6 block

my greatest idea this year, beach umbrella to pick/weed under

I struggle with my garden - picking and weeding in full sun. I got a beach umbrella, the ones in stores were overpriced, got the amazon special with the silver heat reflecting stuff under it, I spent all day weeding the garden in the shade, it was wonderful, barely broke a sweat. I feel like the smartest man on the planet
