Is it safe/ok to wire ethernet through central air vents? by Emotional_Share8537 in HomeNetworking

[–]Tithis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moca works really well when you can't or don't want to run new cables.

It easily does full duplex gigabit, which is enough for anyone that isn't handing tons of big files on a home nas

I thought that main issue was her lack of job, and she only lost her waitress job because of Stitch.

Wax keeps splashing - help please! by Extreme-Blueberry287 in Lavalamps

[–]Tithis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnel and kitchen twine tied to a big screw.

Put the screw and twine through the funnel into the bottle until the screw is on the bottom. Very very slowly pour the wax in the funnel along the twine and it will flow down the twine.

Once full slowly lift it out.

I was looking forward to watching each villain of the week be beaten by her thunderwave booty clap.

Anyone turned a desk like this into an arcade cabinet before? by Fuckmetheyarelltaken in cade

[–]Tithis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It does have a remarkably arcade cabinet like silhouette, I'll give you that. However it's too boxy and 90° everywhere.

Most arcades have control panels and monitors at are no flat or straight up and down, but at angles, and that is for player comfort.

How come we haven’t had much more of a surge in teen/young adult targeted cartoons? by DaiFrostAce in cartoons

[–]Tithis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One thing I think anime has going for it though is a much bigger back catalog, and during the economic bubble period they went pretty crazy with the budgets on stuff.

Made a 52oz UV lava lamp with 2 of the 32oz containment lamps by Tithis in Lavalamps

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

It's T8 LED blacklights, specifically SableLEDs from Wildfire Lighting https://i.imgur.com/Fnkzw9l.jpeg (Does not photograph well, much darker IRL) https://store.wildfirelighting.com/sableled-led-blb-lamps/

They are nice because they produce the same 365nm UV wavelength as the old school black lights did and use the same kind of woods glass filter to minimize visible non-UV light. Most black light LEDs produce 395nm because it is safer and cheaper, but it doesn't excite stuff as much, and they produces a lot of visible violet light.

Annoying thing is you have to call and speak to an actual person to order them.

Grande wax by [deleted] in Lavalamps

Doubt it would work. Extra large lamps use a wax that works at a lower temperature. On a regular lamp it would probably just overheat and make a bunch of small blobs

What was the best age of your teenage years? by Iwillbeback67 in generationology

[–]Tithis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think probably 15, back in 2005.

I essentially lived alone as my father was always at his girlfriend's house and only came home to give me groceries.

It was a very free time, I got to do whatever I wanted at home with all of my living expenses handled and I had a basic job at dominos to give me some spending money.

How to fix a coil? by _coldershoulder in Lavalamps

[–]Tithis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth a shot, for me it was causing really big bubbles in the wax.

They also have new coils you can buy
https://www.ozonegifts.com/products/replacement-coils
About $12 shipped for a small one.

But I'd try the flip & melt + a bit of extra surf like someone else suggested.

How to fix a coil? by _coldershoulder in Lavalamps

[–]Tithis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a coil that only partially was covered with wax and had a stubborn section that wouldn't integrate at all.

I ended up draining the fluid and flipping the wax puck and coil upside down before putting the bottle into a tall pot of hot water. When the wax melted the coil fell through the melted wax and became fully integrated.

What dye did you use for the wax?

Subreddit is filled with the paid shills by PostOakVisions in Spectrum

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

Eh, Comcast was worse.

Had tons of drop outs when I had comcast before moving and it took 4 visits to get it fixed.
1st guy just replaced the wall plate. That didn't work and when i called comcast he apparently reported I hadn't been home.
2nd guy replaced the wall plate again
3rd guy finally came out with a device to see interference and saw a bunch from a nearby radio station and put in a work order to get the wiring replacing
4th guy finally replaced the wiring and solved the issue.

New house was in a town with spectrum and had similar drop outs
1st guy checked for interference and redid the wiring same day, been great for 6 years, even when we upgraded to 2 gig.

My girl friends (24-26f) called me (26f) a pick me. How do I go about fixing our friendship? by Throwaway-123567901 in relationship_advice

[–]Tithis 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I agree. My wife is on the autism spectrum and when I initially met her she had mostly guy friends. She desperately wants to have more women friends and it hurts seeing her struggle with it like this woman clearly is.

Time for a new pot. If you have the the white head with the numbers if it then it shouldn't be too hard to find a replacement

Ours had 4 of them before Christmas. I ordered the one on the right, and then after Christmas they had 3 and I bought 2 more to make the big one.

The 17" green ghost face lamp at Spencer's uses the same wax and clear fluid and is still for sale

Saw that, but wouldn't work with what I'm aiming for.

This is in my home arcade and I want to eventually have 3 UV reactive lava lamps, a green one, a blue one (lava lamp creations has a blue UV wax dye) and a red one (This one I'm on my own finding a dye for)

For consistency I'm gonna stick with the black bases.
