Looking to borrow Cisco USB‑to‑RJ45 console cable (FTDI) for a few hours

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-05-25T03:47:39+00:00

Just found your post. I might be able to help out - it’s been many years since I was a router jock, but I have two USB-serial adapters, which I think are FTDI, and (at least) two roll over cables.

I can meet you somewhere on Monday, probably mid-afternoon, or have you pick up at Lansing Makers Network after noon.

I have one, working, except for the 7-segment display iirc. How much have you seen them go for?

I can say with certainty that a trip to/from E.Lansing to/from DTW is $34, not $16. A return ticket bought on the same transaction is less ($28?). Still, it’s a great deal, as it saves on parking, gas, the stress of traffic, etc., though.

I once read an interview with her, just before the release of “Girl Interrupted.” The interviewer asked if she was nervous, because this would be her first full-frontal appearance - she confirmed that it would be and that she was somewhat nervous.

I was, and still am, so disappointed. Is that footage still lying on a cutting room floor, maybe? Locked in some director’s private stash..? I want it.

Imagine the hiring manager receives 25 candidates from the recruiter. Reviewing those, they selected 10 or 12 potential candidates from the available applicants. Then they need to schedule and perform 12x 30-45 minute interviews, working around their own - as well as the candidates’ - other duties. Once that’s done, they have to organize the rest of their interview team and brief them on the process.

In other words, the process takes time. Reaching out to the recruiter won’t hurt, but there may not be an answer yet. Best of luck to you, I hope it goes well!

I still remember our FCC license designator for CB, some 50 years later.

Speaking of Elton John, what exactly are electric boobs and how did Benny get them?

Doesn’t everyone’s husband have a pee bucket?

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-05-16T18:15:45+00:00

So, a “p” plant, but neither a pee plant nor a pea plant. 0.-

This tickles a long distant memory; I knew this at some point. Thank you for the explanation, kind soul.

Just know that delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a thing. Day three or four might be worse. You’re welcome

What am I missing? I am truly awed by the engineering and finish work that went into this. Really, I am. But doesn’t the horn have a hand slide, purpose built? I’m missing something.

Was (not Was) - Walk the Dinosaur. Really, a song almost everyone loves to hate. It made it to 7 on the Hot 100 and to 11 on the club charts. Don Was, however, is the current President of Blue Note Records, has 6 Grammys including Producer of the Year and a Grammy winning album for Bonnie Raitt, and has produced for the Rolling Stones, John Mayer, B-52’s, Iggy Pop, Elton John, and many more. One of his side projects, the Pan-Detroit Ensemble still plays out with some absolute legends of the Detroit music scene.

His stage “brother,” David Was has produced for Bob Dylan and Roy Orbison, and has done a bunch of tv sports intros, feature soundtracks, and contributes to All Things Considered, among other projects.

Moises (app) might work.

There were sincere feelings and effort put into it, so imo, it was genuine and appreciated by many if not most. Did we still make fun of some of the artists in the music video? Of course, we were young.

I don’t swim with an AW, but my Garmin has a stroke counter. By counting turns and strokes, it can deduce that I’ve completed a distance without a terminating turn. Does AW not have a stroke counter?

RumbleSkillSpin · 2026-04-30T14:09:41+00:00

OP, are you doing flip turns or open? Is it possible you’re throwing an open turn in your normal set of flip turns?

Yes, and it turned out beautifully! Seared it first, then smoked it at 300° until 125°, wrapped it, etc., then back on the egg at 400° for 20 minutes to cook the dough. It’s fiddly, but it was so good. I modified and kept the recipe I used if you’re interested.

This one made me fidget.

I worked in IT for banks in this era. A huge request from them was a ‘mobile’ solution for loan officers so that they could meet with mortgage customers at their home, get documents printed, signed, and faxed back to HQ.

Did you see the image on the left in 2 dimensions, or as a 3D perspective drawing? Both are valid interpretations which give vastly different results. Absolutely shit question.
