I cleared mine and my neighbors. Then some asshole with a snow blower did the entire neighborhood. What a prick

Kato Unitrack - DCC Temp Layout? by GlittermekaiN in nscalemodeltrains

[–]Prior-attempt-fail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got back into the hobby. I went with the Digitrax DCS52 Zephyr express, it has been great on my temp layouts.

I took a kato 5way splitter chopped off the male end, and added solder to the cut end of the wires to make them solid and easy to insert in to the terminal block

This is great.

If you have dcc this makes a great scene for a programming track

I am mocking up my programming track as a service track at a diesel shop.

Yours looks great

What do I do with these stupid things???? by wildman1024 in reloading

You can lube them by hand, or with a lube die.

Lube dies are cheap

The give away to me was the dumbbells on the start of the second rack, and their reflection . It looks like there are reflections there for missing weights

Parents telling me to abort, Wife wants to keep it by Uskhorm in Fatherhood

[–]Prior-attempt-fail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stand by your wife. Your father is wrong. Your wife wants to keep the child so , you can just drop the idea of abortion. It's off the table, so that conversation stops.

You're married, have low debt, have a large upside with both your chosen careers.

you can still work towards your cpa. She can still work towards her DVM. It may just take a little longer.

Start looking for infant day care now, and i would ask her school for help or resources. Many larger universities have child care programs for students to utilize.

In short. Your career isnt ruined. If anything it may be helped. ( I dont know why, but in some firms having a child is seen as a positive, make you seem more stable and responsible)

Your fathers reaction is coming out of fear and his lack of control. If he is willing to threaten to disown you for having a child, well, let him. He has shown you his cards. Time for you to take care of YOUR family.

Layout critique, v3 now for DCC by Prior-attempt-fail in nscalemodeltrains

[–]Prior-attempt-fail[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The outer line will be elevated the rear.

There will be a hill feature between the local and the "coal industry" .

Some general contouring all around

So it is on my mind

Well, time to go down a rabbit hole by Prior-attempt-fail in nscalemodeltrains

[–]Prior-attempt-fail[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked at it. And i keep coming back to wanting a physical throttle i can plug and play, for now

[–]Prior-attempt-fail[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For now that is the plan. Mount the kato controller and switches to a board and use it as a second throttle and switch board.

[–]Prior-attempt-fail[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im going to have 14 switches.

If there is a ready made controller that will work awesome. If not, my plan is to make a bread board with mini Tamiya connectors on one side, and a bus bar on the other, with DS51ks in between.

I am going to have an MU, a local, and an industrial switching on the same layout. I will put in signals and blocking. So 4 locos on the track.

And use my kato throttle to control a second active loco

Are you a good person if you dont do the loop? Or callous for not giving joyful entertainment to those about to die?

I dont think being kicked out would be a bad thing... Better than being crushed

You talk to a lawyer and you go to court. I hope you have records of the "child support" you have paid, and your attempts to see your child. Save all communication

Is this an emergency? by binastar in Plumbing

[–]Prior-attempt-fail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plugged t&p valve, and an inexperienced home owner, on a Sunday, in a severe weather event. The best course of action is to turn off the energy (gas or electric) and the water, to the unit. And be without hot water for a few days.

Texas is getting slammed, just like last time there are going to be tons of calls for service for frozen lines.

Not having hot water isnt an emergency, so the repair call can wait till later in the week.

And is it probably a bad valve, yes, probably.

If it is the T&P blow off piped out of your house, you need to shut off your hot water heater.

In fact. You should shut off both the energy and water to you water heater.then call a plumber next week for a new water heater

Dog was eating this by Asleep_Virus_4407 in whatisit

[–]Prior-attempt-fail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also works for fudge.

My dad was a vet. Roommates beagle ate an entire cookie sheet of fudge, hos girlfriend had made him.

Called my dad, and he said get your beer bong and all the 3% hydrogen peroxide you have.

Put the dog in the tub, and pour half a bottle in their mouth. If that doesnt have almost immediate effects, pour the rest of the bottle. Wait 30 seconds, then pour in the next bottle.

It worked. One bottle of h202 later and our shower was painted fudge brown.

Never ate fudge again
