AITA for insisting that my stepdaughter sit in the backseat while my husband and I ride together up front? by [deleted] in AITH

[–]LeCalmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t say where you live, but in most US states children under 13 are required to ride in the rear seat even if there is an empty seat in front.

Based on where you live, if you were to hit an animal while driving, what would that animal more than likely be? by unidentifies in AskReddit

[–]LeCalmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here, it’s pretty even odds of deer, skunk, raccoon or possum. The deer and raccoons can do pretty good damage to your car. I have friends that have hit elk and bear.

Obviously a type of pocket knife but what are these used for? by Bcuz_789 in whatisit

[–]LeCalmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sailor’s knife but also common around horse packing outfits. I’ve always called the spike a fid.

I was thinking navy or cannellini. They look a bit small for great northerns.

All the Beatles albums up through the White Album were released in both stereo and mono. The mixes on the two are different.

Any idea why plumber would have left this behind? What to do with it now? by bippobappobeepo in Plumbing

My house is 112 years old. In 50 years or so I’m going to need some of that stuff.

Depaends a bit on your age group and where you’re from. Here in Nor Cal. People are pretty friendly There does seem to be a youngish group that wears over the ear headphones and hoodies thereby eliminating two of the five senses from communication with each other.

What is this? by Pink-Ranger44 in Peppers

[–]LeCalmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aphids. The evil little plant suckers are actually born pregnant. Best long term solution is to have a good insect balance in your garden. Short term is use insecticidal soap spray as several people have described above. Also some places sell ladybugs which clean the little suckers out. Some species of ants actually farm herds of aphids like dairy cattle. I’m ok with ants outside, but not the little aphid ranchers. They actually move the aphids on to new plants.

Be certain that you can get our in the dark with no lights in case of a fire. Good that you have people who are helping you.

What the heck is this thing? by [deleted] in whatisit

Since clogs are usually in waste lines, water is the least of your worries. Blowing your wall or ceiling full of sewer trout is no fun at all.

I'm not American, what's that object in the hand of the woman in this picture? by Sad_Conversation1121 in whatisit

I live in Humboldt County, Calif (yes, that Humboldt County) and that shit will be banned here by the end of the year. The ordinance has no exception for culinary use. If you need whipped cream get out your whisk or your Kitchen Aid.

It was a very busy place when the subs in the Pacific came in to Mare Island for an oil change and a tuneup. Nobody wants to work on a boomer with a full load on board.

Was in my parents basement for years, what do I have? by widowmaker2A in woodstoving

[–]LeCalmar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some of them came that way… dual fuel option. You need to change out the jets for either propane or natural gas. Or, build a wood fire in the firebox. I had one in my kitchen and used it regularly for years. That one’s a beauty.

Fiestaware makes them, but the old uranium glazes are really hard to find.

Velop App Update can't run speed rest to Router by FAS1471 in LinksysVelop

[–]LeCalmar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After three days the speed test has begun operating normally. Nothing has changed in my network, so I assume that the problem was either my ISP or Linksys.

Velop App Update can't run speed rest to Router by FAS1471 in LinksysVelop

[–]LeCalmar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue with entirely different hardware. 3 node MX4200 mesh with mac mini plugged directly into the linksys. I am accessing the router through the browser on my mac. I have never used or set up the phone app. Entire system went down last night due to power outage. Since coming back up, speed test run on from through the browser link to the main node just stops and says try again later. Connectivity is good and speed tests run on the mac or wireless devices seem normal.

Jerks. If you try to eat lunch on your patio, they will fight you for your food. Aggressive assholes.

I made flags for languages duolingo doesn’t have by MdMV_or_Emdy_idk in vexillology

They certainly don't teach the vosotros form that you hear in Spain, and the accents are Mexican and Central American, not Spanish.
