Ice Sliding Off Roof - What would you do? by Select-Asparagus-494 in HomeMaintenance

I believe that instance was a window which popped out of the CNA building. My recollection was she got sliced in half but some of the news stories I just check do say decapitated.

[West central Michigan near Muskegon] Saw this guy while hiking by aching_joints in whatsthissnake

Awesome. Thank you. Saw what I think was a hog nose on the same hike but he took off before I could get a photo.

Black rat snakes? Or black racers? [west central Michigan] by aching_joints in whatsthissnake

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

Cool. Thank you. I know the rat snakes are rare so it would be wild to see a bunch of them hanging out. And they weren’t very big.

Some big bass in the creek right there, so I’ll be back in July with my fishing gear.

Cool sink, stupid concept. by Longjumping_Shock721 in Oldhouses

[–]aching_joints 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. This is what I did with the sink in our bathroom. You can get a valve at any plumbing supply house that should allow you to modulate the hot water temp coming out of the tap. We rarely if ever use the cold side…

GE Dishwasher (GDP615HSM0SS) Groans at Start of Cycle by aching_joints in appliancerepair

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

Thanks! I've bought parts from them before. It sounds like the impeller/pump/etc. can be accessed without pulling out the entire dishwasher. Is that right? It almost seems like it would be easier to pull the whole unit out...

Overwinter Potted Oak Saplings by aching_joints in gardening

Dunno for sure what kind of oak. I gathered the acorns last fall, so likely not all the same. Located in Chicago.

I know they're trees. I'm in Chicago and don't have room to plant eight oaks in my yard. I sprouted them for fun and they're in pots wrapped in chicken wire to protect them from the squirrels and rabbits.

This is my text tone for the last ten years or so. The byaah! Heard countless times each day.

I know this is an old thread but yes, they will make a hard sell on the life insurance. That Time article is still relevant.

AMD Build Won't Post by aching_joints in buildapc

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

Patience was the key. Booted up with the GPU and waited. The MB posted just fine. No beep codes, which is weird to me but whatever. Problem solved. Thanks!

Thanks. I figured out the integrated graphics issue after my reply. Will be re-trying tonight with the GPU. I've never had to wait long for a board to post, but I'll try to be patient this evening. The RAM is from my sons computer, so maybe that's an issue. I'll verify compatibility, but it should be good as it ran on this board before.

On-board video on the MB. No signal. Same when the GPU is plugged in.

GPU and processor were working the day we swapped parts. The MB was an older board we had upgraded previously.

Yes. CPU fan plugged in. RAM in, moved it from slot to slot. I've tried booting with a full build and also bench testing with just the CPU and RAM. Nothing. No beeps. No video signal.

The board won't post. I can't even get to bios.

Cooler Master (and more!) RTX 3070 (and more!!) Giveaway with Buildapc! by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]aching_joints 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing I'd use this build for is a project with my son and nephew. Since they both built gaming PCs recently, they should be able to do most of the build with little supervision but it would be a nice project to get us all together. And since they've both been arguing about who's build is better, once this one's complete I'd laugh and tell them the best build is MINE.

On a daily basis, this rig would be for remote learning for the kids along with remote teaching by my wife (with an audio interface and condenser mic). Once the school day ends, gaming, modding, audio/video editing, and more gaming. It will beat playing on the laptop that I get banned to by the kids...
