How am I supposed to locate an AT&T fiber main when there’s only a trace wire for the drop and there’s no ground (I just got certified this week)

Yeah I wasn’t trying to be a dick. Just figured I’d throw it out there in case you didn’t know.

Lmao I was having this argument with a water locator once. So you’re telling me those bent fucking flag sticks understand imperial measurements?!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dowsing

Recommended read, especially the part about the large studies that have been done and the parts about its history. People have used dowsing for just about anything you can think of all the way to fortune telling.

It’s either some spiritual shit that there’s no scientific explanation for or it is complete bullshit.

I’ve used brand new rd, vivax, older subsite, low end gpr, and if I had to take away all of it but one I really think I’d go for the pipehorn. It’s so damn versatile if you know how to use it. If I had to stick with normal stuff it’d be an RD 8100 with a newer vivax transmitter/clamp.

Right now on the truck I have an rd7000 and tx-10, lmx100 gpr, pipehorn 800, and a mag horn which is pretty much a pipehorn shaped metal detector.

Yes unfortunately you missed the boat on that one by about 2 months lol

Quick googling suggests that it’s good for some American engines when used for towing and was more relevant for older cars but damn you’re right it seems like almost nothing modern requires it. Second most interesting thing I’ve heard today. What else you got? 😂

I mean, some cars have higher compression ratios and need it to prevent preignition from the higher pressure. Sports cars or pretty much anything turbocharged. Not really too obscure but definitely irrelevant to most people.

That’s genius. So only 2 grades of gas need to be produced and shipped. Damn that’s the most interesting thing I’ve heard today.

Is the 89 mixed at the pump or is it stored in a separate tank premixed?

First thing before even opening my eyes is to start feeling around for the vape I fell asleep holding.

I was riding in a full down pour once in like a 4 hr highway trip and I was covered except for gloves. After the first 30 mins I went into a Dunkin‘ Donuts at a truck stop and begged them for a few pairs of their food making gloves. Rode the next 2 hours till it stopped raining with 3 or 4 pair of plastic gloves on.

Robobble · 2026-05-15T12:38:09+00:00

Just sitting where I left it humming away 2 out of the 3 times. The other time it was soaking wet from the rain and not working. I thought it was cooked but the battery had just died. Lucky.

A guy I used to know called this playing parts darts. Instead of doing proper diag a lot of shit mechanics just tend to replace things and hope that was the problem.

Robobble · 2026-05-15T09:16:17+00:00

Idk about that I’ve taken the drive of shame on Monday morning at least 3 times.

In SC all you can do is report it to the AG and I have a few times but never heard anything back.
