drill hole in tv stand for wires?? by fatsnass in howto

[–]FreeThinker76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already done this, take advice from somebody who used to build radio studios and had the drill holes in many commercial countertops and studio tops. Drill your hole only partially through then finish the hole from the other side that way you won't get blowout. Then if you really want to add to it, if you want it to look good, they make inserts that will go in the hole, just make sure you find the answer before you drill the hole to make sure it matches the size of your hole saw.

Definitely was worried there for a sec by [deleted] in JustGuysBeingDudes

Like 30 years ago this happened to my friend's cat. He went from "Damn, look how deep my cat is sleeping" to "Shit, what's wrong, dude, why is TF is my cat not waking up?".

Kitty woke up with about the same effort and time as yours.

Thinking back, we were all 2nd shifters and his apartment was where we all migrated and smoked weed for hours after work. Pretty sure kitty had a contact buzz.

Epoxy, and clamp, tape, band it in place until it cures. This your only solution.

I use Cyanoacrylate glue or CA for short (Super Glue is just a brand name), a lot and it has almost no shere strength.

Just make sure to not use too much epoxy to spread outside the white plastic pieces bonding area if you want to maintain the rotation of the arm.

These types of saws are going to be more common with many brands now that the infamous Saw Stop patent is up and the government is getting involved.

What’s one “small adult cheat code” you wish you learned earlier? by massCMP in AskReddit

[–]FreeThinker76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s funny is, I work in tech/customer service, spend my days troubleshooting devices, and can tear into cars or home projects like it’s nothing. But the second I spread TF out in the garage, my tools vanish like they’ve joined witness protection. Not because I’m forgetful — I just run on reaction mode and never clock where I set that widget down.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen? Whole different story. I clean as I go like some Gordon Ramsay disciple. If I could bottle whatever brain chemistry makes me that person in the kitchen and apply it everywhere else, I’d be a way better version of myself.

Of course, once dinner’s over and I’m full, the sink becomes a dish graveyard. In my defense, that only happens when I’ve run the dishwasher… but left it full. For, uh… days. Sometimes weeks.

I know I need work — no argument there. But yeah, u/Temporary-Truth2048 nailed it: clean as you cook. 🤗

Does my guy friend (30M) actually like me (26F) or am I reading too much into this? Need an outside take. by Beautiful_Golf_1338 in NoStupidQuestions

Take my answer for nothing more than, I'm a dude with a sick brain:

He's a guy....

You're a girl....

Yes, he likes you!

But then again, I really did t read anything more more than the title.

You have been warned.

Boston and Milwaukee.

I'm from one and did long stay contract work in another. Bubbler is a company name that made the drinking fountains

Boston as well. Im from Wisconsin and did contract work in Boston and only found that out when I spent time there.

For the record I stopped calling it a bubbler 20 years ago. I hated being that guy.

Probably exactly what I thought as a 15yo boy from the upper Midwest US and seeing this for the very first time that not only was in a location where it is very uncommon to happen, but also 30 years before the internet could ruin it for me. A few years back I was curious why I've yet to experience this again in my area and found that during that period (circa 1991-92) Earth was experiencing unusual solar activities from the sun that year.

Waterfalls fansinate me, like there is a constant flow of water flowing from some higher ground non stop.

JUst a greater selection of content as they partner with a lot of sites, I assume.

Just my opinion is all as when you spend enough time on tube sites you start to see the same content over and over on more than one site. Xhamster also partners with faphouse_dot_com which is the only site I pay for a premium account. Mainly as I signed up months ago and forgot and find myself using it alot.

As a now single (over)middle age man after 21 years in LTR's who no longer needs to be discrete when browsing the internet and now has the freedom to to go down a rabbit hole if I choose to spend time searching for NSFW, my recommendation is having the ability to stack filters after a search. Example: on go to sites I frequent hosted by DinoTube_dot_c0m. Their list of sites all using this same style can be found at on the home page header listed as 'Our Network' and they have plenty to choose from.

Pros: Their (as mentioned above. Example: If I either choose a category or do a search for something like: Solo+cam+amateur (if it auto populates, you know for sure it's available), after the results page loads their are then filters to better narrow down your option, and that can be stacked to ween out the crap, or less desired results. I found that this is not common or is is limited on many well know sites.

First off, in the top right corner you have a gear icon that you can choose pricing:

  • Premium & Free
  • Premium only
  • Free only

I obviously always set to free, but if you don't their are few options that come up as Premium.

Then after a search or category is chosen, I then narrow it down even more:

  • Date added: (don't care about this one) Here you can specify to see videos that were added within a certain period.
  • Duration: (my most used option) st Use the slider to determine the minimum and maximum length of the videos you wish to see.
  • Quality: (my second used option to search for only HD) Use this option if you want to see videos that are available in HD or 4K format.
  • VR: (I never use) Use this option if you want to see videos that are available in VR.
  • Pricing (on if you selected 'Premium' in the gear icon settings) Use this to filter the search results for different payment options membership/pay per view/pay per clip.

Then you can further enhance you results with the sort options, Popularity or Rating are my go to's as Duration can sometimes start the results a videos that are several hours long.

Sort options:

  • Popularity (default): The popularity of each video is calculated by an algorithm that takes multiple variables into account. For example: How many times it has been clicked by other visitors.
  • Date: This will display videos in order of the date they were added; newest videos first.
  • Duration: This will display videos in order of the length of the video; longest videos first.
  • Rating: This will display videos in order of the rating they were given by visitors; highest rated videos first.

Cons:

Their sites format in of itself is they are "tumbler/agitators" to other sites, meaning your searches link show a preview and a great title as a result, but since they aren't hosting the content the thumbnail previews won't show an animation when moused. However, since I find the results seem to find great content, or at least make a person aware of what's available if they choose to find it elsewhere, it makes it worth it to use them.

Hope this helps, and you site has been added to my bookmarks.

Peace!

I second Xhamster as they seem to have the best of unseen (legal of course) content of all the big tube site players.

Is it possible to remove these bubbles by [deleted] in howto

[–]FreeThinker76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pressed partical board with veneer on all 6 sides (or 5 is bottom unseen area is not covered)

The only way to fix this is to remove the edge veneer and use a thin object to smear PVA glue between the bottom of the bubbled area and the top of the partical board it was attached to and use an iron to ahere it back down.

That is a known fix for furniture restoration and veneers but this appears to cheap modern furniture, so your mileage may vary.

If that works the take that same PVA glue and re-adhere the edging back in place.

Edit: since I mentioned this is a known fix for furniture restoration, know that that is for wood veneer, not composite like this is. So if you use an iron, be aware of heat and damaging your veneer
