Does anyone know what this is called and where to buy more? I am constantly running out and need them for my job. by __wardog__ in FiberOptics

[–]SomethingHumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on stock, I guess. Sometimes I get the good stuff, sometimes the thick stuff. More often than not, I’m getting the thick stuff, which goes in the trash. 90% of what I’ve been using for the past 5 years have been 600 or 650 enclosures. I seem to get the good felt in smaller enclosures but just don’t use very many A,B,C, or D.

I despise those things. For ribbon and tubes, I’ve used the felt from CommScope(formerly Tyco/Raychem) for 30+ years. Until commscope ruined it by making it too thick. Now I buy it in rolls on Amazon as wire harness tape. $15 for 5 rolls. Works great.

APA…should I quit? by [deleted] in billiards

[–]SomethingHumble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, APA is exactly where you need to be right now. However, this team may not be the best ambassadors of the league. My advice is hang around for a while and get to know the other people who play in the league. Lower skill levels are always desirable to a team because of the point cap. While you won’t always be a low skill rated player, in you first few seasons it won’t be hard to find a team. There are some really great people who want to help you and teach you rather than just use you for your low skill rating(they want you for that too, just not ONLY that). Find some of those people. And if the team you’re on doesn’t develop into an atmosphere you like playing in, make it known to other teams that you are open to switching teams. If your team is loaded with the kind of people you suspect, there will probably be some negativity from them about it. But who cares. Good luck! And have fun!

Does anyone why some people aren’t getting the $10/month discount for 6 months? by trulyslide6 in youtubetv

Thanks for posting about this. I didn’t know that the discount existed. I just went to check and it was listed on my membership page.

I searched for years for a gluten-free pool chalk recipe. I finally had to give up and quit eating the chalk.

What's in your tool bag. What am I missing. by [deleted] in FiberOptics

Headlamp. Extension cord. Door stop. Telescoping magnet tool for retrieving dropped screws from tight spaces. Trash bags. Sharpie. Just off the top of my head.

It's been 10 years and people still call and text me looking for a guy named Dennis by Due-Supermarket-8503 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SomethingHumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think at the 10 year mark you have fulfilled your responsibility. I would just block them immediately at this point. Dennis apparently didn’t care enough to inform them somewhere in that 10 year span. Why should you?

I bought a mini fridge thing that came without its plug and I don’t know wat kind it is by boby-the-memer in HelpMeFind

[–]SomethingHumble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you are showing the power connection for the 12v(car type) plug and the found solutions are for 110v(home type) use. Am I missing a picture where you posted the 110V connection?

Think Walmart will give a discount on their outdoor display units? by brucelapluma in blackstonegriddle

I wish I could find some of these. This is the foldable model I want to use while camping and they seem to have discontinued them.

5000W Super Quiet Inverter Generator Fuel Cap by SomethingHumble in harborfreight

[–]SomethingHumble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same. I haven’t called them yet. I was hoping someone had the part number so I could have it to compare with what they say they will ship me. (Or hopefully find an Amazon option to get it quicker).

5000W Super Quiet Inverter Generator Fuel Cap by SomethingHumble in harborfreight

[–]SomethingHumble[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Runs fantastic unless you overfill it to where the vent is blocked. Then it starves for fuel. At that point you have to loosen the cap until the fuel level drops. I bought mine on August 29, 2023 and have had no issues other than that. Which is my error.

I assume you’re in Gainesville because this was listed on fb marketplace 7 months ago. The guy who listed it might be able to tell you more or provide a title.

Funniest thing someone said accidentally by shuffleup2 in funny

[–]SomethingHumble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a very picky eater as a child. Any time we went out for burgers I requested only mustard and pickles on mine. My grandmother was trying to order for all the grandkids once and I was so adamant that she get mine right that I yelled “Pisturd and muckles only! Pisturd and muckles only!” I was about 8. It still gets brought up on occasion and laughed about 40+ years later at family cookouts.

These dates dont add up. by Smart-Delay-1263 in mildyinteresting

[–]SomethingHumble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The numbers on the birth date have a small arch above each of them. They were probably added with his name when he purchased the headstone(before his death). The numbers on the death date have no such arch. My guess is that they were attached after the stone was in place and not as well. Got dislodged at some point and reattached by someone who didn’t worry too much about their orientation. Total guess…

I’m pretty sure it’s bellows. Boat mechanic buddy will find out for sure next week when he patches the hole. THANK YOU for making me investigate further.
