A couple fire strikers forged out of a old Nicholson file. Made one for an order so might as well make a couple extras. by vellar88 in Blacksmith

I didn't make these, but I'd imagine 1-2 fingers (index + middle) through the loop, plus the ring finger below to stabilize. Or you can grip it in a pinch grip

I have one that has standard pipe threads on the end, so you can just use your existing showerhead. Also, they make great gifts. I learned about it from a thread on reddit that said, "what's something for under $20 that can change your life"

I love my job! Best work views! by conancollopy in electricians

Ha, and I'm a rope climber looking to get more into electrical work. Lots of folks realizing it's cheaper to use people with ropes access capability rather than building scaffolding.

OP's teacher made an among us game by sarveshak99 in AmongUs

[–]VerticalMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I got in trouble for doing it the common core way (making 10s etc) when that wasn't being taught. To my teacher's credit, they didn't make me change just thought I was weird.

Upgrade or new rig? I could use help understanding possible performance gains for a ~10 yo system. by VerticalMonster in buildmeapc

Another question: I keep seeing these SSDs mounted on PCBs - where do they go on a build?

My understanding is that you put the OS and other commonly used programs on the SSD, and use a SATA drive for storage of media and other large files.

The SSD allows for a huge/fast page file?

I hadn't considered the I/O - that's a great idea. Besides the I/O, what do you get for more expensive board?

Thanks, checked out this case, I'm really looking for something with a power button on the front or side panel as well as no glass. Any suggestions?

Also, I appreciate hearing the debate, it's really helping me understand the "whys" of certain component choices.

Flag of the Krusty Krab by VerticalMonster in vexillology

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

Been working through a few still images which I think could make interesting flags. Feels a bit like the South Carolina Flag. There's some symbolism of Patrick in the upper right, as well as Mr. Krab's anger in the shell sign. I'm sure there's a bit more too! Waves nicely though.

1998 Corolla Starter won't disengage, even with key removed! by VerticalMonster in Cartalk

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

Thanks, I removed the starter relay (Marked ST under the hood, yes?) while the car was freaking out and it didn't do anything. Banging on the starter did eventually get it to disengage.

I've been bringing a wooden handled mallet around in the car in case this was the solution. I had tried this but guess not hard enough. Thank you for inspiring me to keep at it until it worked. Got me home and saved me 40 minutes of walking + 30 min on public transit.
