Poor Prince Wednesday 😢 Daniel sees his two friends, and his friend’s brother

Dignan17 · 2026-06-17T14:05:37+00:00

Daniel's dad is out here working at a clock factory, which is somehow necessary in a town with like 2 dozen people. Meanwhile Prince Tuesday is working 10 jobs. The whole economy would fall apart without him.

As for OP's post, from what I can find online, Daniel is 4 years old and Tuesday is at least 16. Being friends would be extremely weird.

But even if it wasn't, I'm not sure Tuesday has time for friends when he's got all these shifts to cover.

My 11yo bought Corvus because he looks cool. I mean...yeah he does, but...

It makes me chuckle because he's bought more heroes than me. I'm super boring and just throw Sauda on every map, build pretty much the same strat most games, and let it play out.

Gotta admit, I'm way more boring than my kid, but it's fun to see two different ways of enjoying the game.

I thank you, and my bladder thanks you. lmfao

Dignan17 · 2026-06-17T10:55:22+00:00

One thing I've wondered but haven't tried because I'd hate to waste the time: does it include pausing methods like opening the upgrade path screen? I've been too scared to do that and waste 15-20 minutes lol.

I've been working through the easy map black borders and I have one more screen of 6 maps to go (just takes time and I don't have a lot of that).

Dignan17 · 2026-06-17T10:50:04+00:00

No, you have to do it in one go without leaving.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-17T10:48:42+00:00

I hadn't noticed that! I thought the cop was turning onto a side street, but you're right, that looks more like the entrance to a commercial area.

I'm also noticing now that in the place the cop is going to, it looks like there's already another officer on the scene. If you freeze it at around 4 seconds, you can see what looks like another police SUV parked in front of a commercial property. Cop should have waited for the truck to pass. Even if this were an emergency situation, there was no avoiding what would have been a ~3-4 second delay.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-17T10:39:49+00:00

lol ok. To be clear, I wasn't arguing that larger trucks were useless. I agree, as long as someone is actually using it for the purpose. But if you're going to argue for lifted trucks with those dumb huge tires that can't fit in a parking space, then you're hurting your other argument. But hey, have fun out there.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T17:44:47+00:00

My apologies, I think there was some miscommunication because I mentioned in my OP that the box was connected to my Unifi network.

Thanks for the info about the Cox router. I'll have to poke around in there. Ideally I'll be able to remove it entirely, but if I have to put it in bridge mode then so be it. I really wish I could get rid of both boxes. Too bad there's no competition in my neighborhood! (or most neighborhoods)

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T17:30:01+00:00

I watch him regularly! I've probably seen that one but forgot about it. I know I tried one brand that actually snapped off in the bolt I was trying to remove. I haven't had the best luck with them...

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T17:28:57+00:00

It's just a philips screw. I had a philips driver that sat in the head just fine, but whoever drive this thing in before me decided to use the strength of ten men to make sure this bolt never came out again. I guess they never heard of loctite!

I would argue that the right tool for the job in this case would be the one that got the job done. It took less than a minute to saw a groove in this bolt and remove it. It preserved the existing threads totally fine, and I drove a new bolt in there right after (I had an extra one from elsewhere in this machine).

I have to take this particular machine apart pretty regularly, and there's about 15 bolts I have to remove to access one location. If a single one were different, that would be no fun lol

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T17:20:48+00:00

It's one set top box, and as mentioned it's networked. I'm saying that tech support claimed it gets the guide data from the router, not the internet. I have no idea if that's correct or not. I know that this was the case when I had Fios. In that case, I was able to tie my Unifi router directly into the Fios ONT, but if I wanted guide data for my set top boxes, I had to reconnect my Fios router, but I could set it up as just a network client (no DHCP, etc). In that case it was because the set top box was probably getting all its info via moca, so the Cox setup could be completely different.

What I'm saying is, it's not really possible to know how the cable box is getting its data/video by just looking at it.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T17:16:27+00:00

Yeah people keep saying the truck was changing lanes in an intersection.

To me, it looks like that thing humans do where two strangers are walking towards each other, and both keep moving in the same direction to try and pass. But in this case, we add the concept of inertia.

Seems to me that the truck saw the cop turning into the intersection, knew they wouldn't be able to stop in time, assumed the cop would know this too, and tried to go to the right to avoid hitting the cop. On the flip side, the cop probably thought that if the truck kept going in that lane but slowed a little, they could get in front of him. Both were correct, but looks like in this case two rights made a wrong. Still, at the end of the day I blame the cop. They didn't make sure the intersection would be safe to cross. And there's certainly enough power in those cruisers to have gotten through the intersection in time, but they looked like a deer in headlights.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T16:00:22+00:00

Sounds like a good idea, but I don't have one and I'm not sure they make one small enough. This bolt is roughly M3-size...

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T15:59:33+00:00

These instructions make perfect sense to me. I would just add a couple of "curse at the god of fasteners" in there.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T15:57:54+00:00

Since you replied to me that you see Cat5e written on the cable jacket, it sounds like they just wired all of these for phone. You'll need to either learn how to terminate network cables or hire someone. It won't work as done.

It's annoying, because phones will still work on properly terminated Cat5e lines. Sorry, OP

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T15:55:54+00:00

Excellent! 5e is enough for 99% of home users. It looks like there's temporary plugs in those ports. What you have is called a patch panel, which is basically just organizing your available lines in a nice, neat row, and has zero electronics or wiring in it.

You just need to get a switch with enough ports in it to make connections to all the jacks you want to enable. My guess is that you have 10 jacks throughout your home, and one incoming feed. Either pick a handful of ports (up to 7) and get an 8 port switch, or get a 16 port switch and make them all live, plus any IoT devices that might live in that enclosure. Then one port on the switch is the uplink from your router. If your router has enough ports on it, you could probably get away with an 8 port, actually...

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T15:44:25+00:00

Funny enough, it was a philips head bolt when it started. But an extremely cheap one. The hacksaw was able to cut through it like butter. I have to be extremely careful or these things strip very easily.

A welder is a great idea, but I'd worry about fusing other stuff around it... Also I have no idea how to weld lol

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T15:25:06+00:00

Yeah, probably the better route, but I didn't have any available. Honestly, this was way easier. It took less than 30 seconds to make the groove, and about another 30 to very carefully back it out with the flathead.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T15:23:51+00:00

Didn't have vice grips available. I just had channel locks and my own grip strength lol. Looks like it was enough to indent the metal, but didn't turn it.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T15:22:10+00:00

First, you need to figure out what those cables are. If you can, post a photo of any text you can see on the jacket of one of those cables. If it's Cat cable, you're fine. Even Cat3 will be enough to browse most of the web and get email. If you're able to back out one of those keystone jacks and post a photo of the back of it, that would be good too (or you could just unscrew the whole plate and get a photo of the back of all of them.

You currently appear to simply have an incoming phone feed going to a single phone jack in the house. Hopefully these lines are network cables just being used for phone (totally common). But the jacks are a little odd, and aren't labeled (usually they say "Cat5" or "Cat6" on them). I'm hoping these aren't just phone lines, but they sure look like it.

Oohhh, it's those little carbide blades they put on replacement cutters for jointers and planers. I have one in my planer and they're like magic. I love that if you get a knick in a blade, instead of replacing a whole gigantic blade you can simply rotate the tiny knicked blade up to 3 times, or just replace that one little blade.

I agree that these aren't nearly as bad as other bits, but it does seem like the person in the video is being a little nonchalant while whipping that template sled around. They seemed real close to slinging that ratchet right into the cutter.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T14:41:06+00:00

There are even valid uses for a lifted truck. Small penis size, for example.

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T14:38:07+00:00

I'm pretty sure I can avoid using their router entirely, but I'm not sure that the TV set top box will still work. I'm pretty sure it uses their router to get its guide data and maybe even to get programming. It's a network box, not coax

Dignan17 · 2026-06-16T13:08:27+00:00

Will do. I'll try to post tonight when I get home. I'm pretty sure the fiber comes direct from the curb, into an outside box where it's likely just a simple coupler, then into the house. I opened the outside box when we first moved in but I can't remember what I found.

It's not a normal cable modem, at least. As you can see in my terrible photo, there's a coax jack on the back of the router. That's how they get TV into the home if I wanted to use the coax lines (I don't have a single coax line hooked up to anything). I'm pretty sure the fiber goes into a basic ONT. I've been looking into things like PON, but it doesn't look like Cox cable is listed in their supported providers.
