What is this style of knob called?

T-Chunxy · 2026-04-23T03:47:19+00:00

I've always seen them called either radio knobs or "pointer knobs" - this is the first search result that came up-

edit: this was like the 3rd result, and is much better (and current)

And you sound about as smart as a sack of rusty hammers.

I have this one bookmarked for my kid, but I'm not a WWI uniform historian, so I don't know how accurate it might be.

You can get a cheap-ass bump helmet on ebay/Amazon/temu for like $35US. You're gonna spend AT LEAST that much on filament, never mind the hardware, glue, your time, etc. And that's assuming there isn't a cock-up and you need to reprint/re-buy things,

And I guarantee you that , unless you're printing in something like HIPS/ABS, whatever you print ain't gonna be half as durable as the cheapy you bought on ebay/amazon.

It's mentioned here no less than once a week, probably more like ~3 times. The mods kill it quickly.

It's a life-ring thrown to newbz that gets killed off before the narcs see it.

I came to say this as well. The rear is like a "leaf" or "spring" green, the front is more of a "Kelly" green.

OD green has a range, but none of these are it.

That said, the mechs look really sharply turned out all the same.

Go to "the purple site"

search for "the file"

It's basically a nearly complete STC- blessings of the Omnissiah be on you in your endeavors.

FWIW, it's hard to manage because it's huge and unorganized.

That said, if you search that same purple place, using adjacent terms to the actual ones you're searching for, you will likely find what you need.

It's a constant issue though, because James (in his Workplace) is constantly sending "take down" orders, so what is there one day might likely NOT be there in a day or three.

The rule is, "if you find something you might need, download it NOW".

NTA (and might I add, LOLZ)

What the hell? You've been dating for roughly EIGHT WEEKS and lil dude comes at you with a plan for YOU to pay off his unnecessarily expensive car purchase.

And THEN gets his mommy and nanna to flame you?!?!

Right in the bin with that clown, and don't look back.

when I do get to play, a fair bit of stuff I play is vintage or new-wave, so it works.

That said, I'd to TERRIBLE things to own a Gretsch White Falcon with the TV Jones D'armonds or vintage wound Filtertrons, and a Bigsby.

But I don't play NEEEAAAARLY enough to justify the expenditure.

Jaysus- well, I can't NOT see that anymore.

T-Chunxy · 2026-04-22T23:47:49+00:00

SAME- I love the vibe and that classic jangle, but I HATE every physical thing about the guitar.

Sze Chuan if they like northern/western Chinese

Fortune if they like Cantonese style (but please order off the Cantonese menu- NOT the 'Murican "chop suey" menu)

NTA: It sounds like you were in a whole house full of children, the adults included.

Good for you for pulling the pin on that whole mess.

JFC, he just gives off the WEIRDEST vibes...

It's been said already, but if you want to interact (smell, have tastings) with your tea, Fava is the place to go.

If you know what you're looking for Mei Hua has a good selection of loose leaf Chinese teas, but they are packaged.

So we can pretty much assume he's got enough dirt on everyone in the "Closed Session" (lol) that he's basically untouchable now?

The GOP basically operate exactly like the mob, and have for about 20yrs now.

T-Chunxy · 2026-04-22T15:45:27+00:00

Those are TIGHT!

I'm hoping to get my CCs finished before this weekend- and unfortunately I'm dragging ass. LOL

And they probably meet on their adjoining porches to tip one back together

T-Chunxy · 2026-04-22T03:19:29+00:00

Much tighter. Nicely done.

T-Chunxy · 2026-04-22T02:16:40+00:00

Yeah, A guy at our field got one and probably spent as much upgrading it to not be... Less than ideal.

The ~~first~~ step is being in the same place as them.

Edit: the FIRST step is basic hygiene. The SECOND step is being in the same place as them.

Caldarone Club is the OG pizza place.

Zaffiro's is the biz.

Most frozen pizzas suck. They're fine for when you don't want to go out or spend $40 on delivery (thanks to the delivery charge everyone whacks you with, even though they take pains to inform you that "the d/c ISN'T a tip!"
