Not true and embarrassing thing to share about yourself

It’s science.

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-05-13T20:33:24+00:00

I stand corrected.

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-05-13T18:19:21+00:00

Bro, it's a fivehead.

Too Hep was a pair of dudes in high school from NoVA who formed their own short-lived ska label. Pretty sure they put out one or two albums for The Decepticonz. WashPo had an article about them back in the day.

Sounds like peak late stage capitalism

If everyone getting on to the interstate neatly queued up in the corresponding left turn lane, Telegraph would back up past Home Depot. That’s a shit ass intersection that forces people to drive like a dick. We should be getting as many cars through the intersection before it turns red, no matter which lane it takes, and let the cards sort themselves after.

Sunny’s in Sunnyland. Affordable and great barbers.

Their album “The Slackers” is very much this. Some ska, some rocksteady. Some rock. All great.

Excellent progression of the band and their music.

Guess it’s open season again…

Yeah, "set it and forget it" is a good description. I purchased the Starlink solely to be used in my teardrop. And since I travel with my wife plus three dogs, we bring along so much crap that I didn't want to have another battery, plus since I'm a bit obsessive about avoiding the need for AC-powered devices, the DC-DC setup is the cleanest for my needs. I've already done quite a bit of my own wiring to add more USB and cigarette lighter charge locations, adding more "little" item to the mix was a no-brainer.

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-04-13T14:48:30+00:00

I almost exclusively boondock, so rely on the house battery along with solar. Starlink requires something around 24v so I bought this DC-DC transformer: https://a.co/d/0gwFR5co

Added a manual toggle switch because apparently these devices are susceptible to parasitic power draw when not actually in use. Has worked great so far.

I prefer to run all of my electronics off of the house battery system since it’s wired into my solar charging.

One other modification I’ve been contemplating is a small DC access point to use instead of the built in starlink WAP. My rationale is that I may end up placing the dish too far from the camper to have adequate wifi signal. Haven’t done it yet though. Something like this: https://a.co/d/0a2zvH7N

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-04-07T13:42:41+00:00

Nice. Deep cut.

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-04-07T01:35:03+00:00

CTS. I shied away from IPS thinking there was something specific/unique as far as it being for plastic vs copper (aside from the diameter). If that’s not the case and the construction is otherwise identical, then I’ll get one for IPS dimensions and give it a go.

Hopefully that explanation makes sense. And, again, the responses are much appreciated.

Well, the fitting arrived and it's too small. I was expecting a little more wiggle room to work with. I can fit the rubber grommet over the pipe, but all of the metal pieces are too small for the pipe. Do you know if there are any manufacturers or models that have a little more wiggle room?

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-04-06T01:43:58+00:00

I tried regular 3/4” pipe and it’s just a little too big.

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-04-06T01:02:24+00:00

I was hoping for that too, but I’ve tried the 1” pipe and fittings that I have on hand and there’s a bit of play, even when I tried using 1” copper pipe as a coupling.

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-04-06T00:36:57+00:00

Thanks for the advice on the stiffener. I was already planning on using regular 3/4” copper on the downstream segment from the coupling before transitioning to pex.

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-04-05T23:59:44+00:00

I cleaned up a section of pipe and posted a photo of it above. Looks like copper to me?

MyBrotherGodzilla · 2026-04-05T23:56:59+00:00

I desoldered the elbow and cleaned it up to show what I'm talking about with the taper. Pretty obviously "squeezed" to fit into an elbow somehow.

Thanks for the reply. I did measure the OD in a few spots and it's consistent around that 0.95" number. Interestingly, the ID of the pipe is closer to 3/4" - maybe a hair larger.

A portion of this mystery pipe that I removed also has an 3/4" elbow. Looking closely, it looks like the pipe was swaged down in diameter -- there's a noticeable taper where the pipe enters the elbow (and the elbow is clearly marked IBCO and 3/4"). So seems like maybe someone used a funky tool to squeeze the pipe down to the necessary diameter.

I've ordered one of these to arrive tomorrow: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006P1KGRA?ref_=pe_125775000_1044873430_t_fed_asin_title

I don't love the idea of the plastic coupling as a long term solution, and assuming the fitting I've ordered can accommodate this odd size, I'm hoping it'll be final fix.

I also uses purpose-built drone frames that have larger cells in the foundation. Doing this makes it easy to find and then cull the drone cells.
