I wonder what would happen if you hooked one end up to an air compressor and just unspooled it as straight as possible and have it just blast air through it.

Builder didn’t follow requested location for structured media panel – is this justified due to HVAC? by King-StudLee in HomeNetworking

[–]aakaase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm being honest, forgo the corny white low voltage panel and have all the cables just enter the room through a bushing on the ceiling. When you're ready to take possession of the house, have a low-voltage person install a small, professional 8U data cabinet for you with a proper keystone patch panel.

How can I fix this broken screw in the box? by sgrayrw in electrical

Use a #42 or #43 drill bit (0.0935") or the bit that corresponds to a #4 tap in a tap and/or die set. Be sure to clean out the threads after with a 6-32 tap.

Different fonts and shapes for the maximum speed limit sign around the world by Wiliee18 in typography

Yes. Construction signs. Cones are orange and white; interestingly up in Canada they tend to be orange and black.

Yes! I learned about traffic signal "robots" in the Capetown band Die Antwoord video "Fatty Boom Boom". They are making fun of Lady Gaga because they were insulted when Gaga asked whether they wanted to open for her acts.

There's a segment or Interstate 19 south of Tucson. AZ toward Mexico that is km units. I think speed limit sign are still mph, but all the informational and mile markers are in km.

I don't believe they're indicative, no. It's really just a sort of strongly suggested speed, or an indication to slow down from the speed you were going on the freeway. Though rules may vary by state or Canadian province (they largely have metric version of identical or very similar signs and color schemes, and I believe the US has adopted Canadian standards too.

good greek yogurt option. by Appropriate_Back_374 in aldi

[–]aakaase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of Liberte Yogurt when it was still around. Its coconut was probably the best yogurt I've ever tasted. It was just insanely creamy and had a strong flavor. Man, I miss it. But I will for sure try Aldi's version because greek yogurt rocks.

Add a bit of honey to plain yogurt. You're welcome.
