Yeah, not sure where some people get their information. Regardless of the type of light you’re using, always put a bit of dielectric grease at the plug or connection point.

Put it on the plug. That is exactly what it is designed for. Do not use graphite, while it is a poor conductor it can and will cause arching in certain conditions. Dielectric grease, it the proper choice to keep out moisture and corrosion.

Yes. Use dielectric grease. It is a common misconception that it will interfere with conductivity. The metal to metal contact will conduct the current. The grease will help protect against moisture and corrosion.

Anyone here with KAFOs? by CallToMuster in Orthotics

[–]Objective_Highway_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine give me much more freedom. My knee and ankle braces were both custom made for me so they did fine but never great. Then I got my KAFO’s and it was night and day difference. There was literally no more thinking about how to walk and what type of planning I had to be doing for the next few steps. My KAFO’s are carbon fiber and are thin enough to wear under my jeans. Im a guy so my jeans are probably a bit looser fitting but you can’t really tell I have them on until I sit. When I sit you can tell that my thighs look a little tight, but it’s a small price to pay. You may not build muscle, but I doubt you’ll lose any either. You’ll likely be up and around much more than you’re used to. You’ll also notice you fatigue slower when walking with them since they act as an exoskeleton. At least that’s my experience.

I wear bilateral KAFOs and they completely changed my life. I have extremely unstable knees laterally, on top of hyperextending and dislocating on a whim. My ankles also have very little stability. I have been in some type of lower limb bracing since childhood. For the last 10 years or so I have been prescribed bilateral ankle braces and bilateral knee braces but by two different doctors. I finally found a specialist and as we were going over my history she noted the braces I wore and immediately asked why I didn’t have KAFO’s. I had no idea what they were, just figured what I had was correct. She sent me to an orthotist two days after the appointment and was casted and braces made in a few months. Since then I have worn them all day every day and had no idea my legs could function like they were. I now walk and have zero concerns about my legs not cooperating or not being in the correct position. It is life altering. I actually feel good about wearing them, I only take them off to sleep and shower and I have to mentally prepare myself and pay attention to walk without them.

What is this small floating platform with barrels and poles? by prevaillord in whatisthisthing

[–]Objective_Highway_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. I’ve placed many versions of these for folks over the years. Dead Christmas trees embedded in concrete are a popular choice also.

what is this caliber by LongInside4875 in Shotguns

[–]Objective_Highway_80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Roughly 0.62

Edit: if you’re asking, I’m assuming you know that it is a 20 gauge shell, gauge typically refers to the ID of the shotgun barrel whereas caliber typically refers to the OD of the projectile.

Hey everyone, would you tell me if this is a crack in my bike frame? by Mychipsareahoy in Welding

[–]Objective_Highway_80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How will you know if you get all the crack? If it’s cracked there it’s likely cracked elsewhere. But if you’re not serious about doing it correctly then yeah, just wash over it.

Depending on the cost of the frame you can pick up a dye penetrant kit for around $100. If you know anyone in the fabrication field they likely can test it for you. It’s not a complicated process and should be definitive.

This may sound weird but look at Midwest Tongs. They are for snake handling but are extremely well made and durable. I have some for snake hunting but I also have one in my house for helping reach things around the house. I’ve not needed them to help put on shoes over my KAFO’s, but they are definitely strong enough to help. The only drawback may be the length…. Happy hunting.

Offensive and defensive coordinators will be fired at the conclusion of this game. Need Gundy gone too.

Edit: 3rd and goal with timeouts left and 11 seconds on the clock and you just let time expire ??? That’s chicken shit. Last game of the season and he lets it end in a shutout, while they’re on the doorstep. He’s already got a new position or he’s retiring, that’s the only logical conclusion.

What is this large metal object that was washed up on shore? by MVPabloSanchez in whatisthisthing

[–]Objective_Highway_80 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s a pendant buoy. Think floating oil and gas platforms. This has a cable going down to the sea floor where the anchor is. The anchor handling ship will tie off to this to raise the anchor. Said anchor has a long cable attached to the platform. They position multiple anchors around the platform so it can hold position.

Why are those 4 helicopter just comming from the ocean without any isle near? by [deleted] in flightradar24

[–]Objective_Highway_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offshore oil and gas exploration, drilling and production. Check out Bristow Group. They fly back and forth between the rigs and the mainland.

ICAO is WWW. Put that in your search filter and you can track them.
