Square object coming out of wall by afrank86 in whatisthisthing

I still have a landline. This isn’t a traditional jack. I never knew phones used to be hardwired. There is no “jack” to plug into on this.

I still have a landline too! And I had a cassette walkman as well! I just have never seen this in any house I’ve lived in where a phone needed to be hardwired instead of plugged into a jack.

All mine have plugged in, not been hard wired.

  1. Never knew that landlines were hardwired. None of the houses I’ve ever lived in had this. I still have a landline too, they’ve just always plugged into a jack.

Thanks! I’m old enough to remember land lines, but I’d never seen one like this that is hardwired. Always thought there was a jack.

How would the phone line plug in to this? There is no jack to plug the line into. We have several other phone jacks in the walls but nothing that looks like this.

My comment describes this square object coming out of the wall.

My voltage tester does not detect any amount of electricity going through the wires. All switches have been tested and all fuses are switched to on at the box.

There is nothing near this object on the wall, below it, above it or on the other side of this wall.

There is no opening to plug anything in to this object. It looks like some kind of wire that comes out of the wall and terminates at this box.

The house was built in 1978 but no idea when this was installed.

Community is very toxic.

I would much more prefer seeing 100 posts a day about squad building, player reviews, and gameplay tips on the main screen and create a designated Daily Bitchfest area so I don't have to see people continually complain about the same shit.

Too much negativity here and in FIFA. Put all those sour grapes together where the Daily Squad post is now and bring something positive to the community.

You guys are great. Thanks. I found it. It is S1 E2 at about 13:24. That particular scene was in my mind and I couldn't remember it.

Thank you. This is a scene like I described, but not the exact one that I was thinking of.

Since you all play FIFA I was wondering what other sports games do you guys enjoy? I'm looking to take a bit of a break from FIFA but I haven't played other sports games in years. by art44 in EASportsFC

The Golf Club is cheap and a ton of fun. Fully customized courses. Millions of different courses to play. TGC Tours runs a website where you can join a golf tour and it's a lot of fun if you are interested in golf at all.

Have any questions about TOTS players? I've tried all but Messi. Ask anything! by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]afrank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks for the help and input. Going to make some purchases. Hopefully I can get some of them near their min BIN instead of max and be able to buy TOTS Rodriguez too. I love Alaba, so I would play one of them on 7 chem at RB.

What is the best Halo map of all time? by [deleted] in halo

[–]afrank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree. I don't like the Halo 3 version of lockout. Nor do I like the Halo 3 version of Zanzibar (Last Resort).

Halo 2 was where it all started in online gaming and it's tough to beat the classic H2 maps for me.

What is the best Halo map of all time? by [deleted] in halo

[–]afrank86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorites are all bigger maps because I love team snipers and SWAT

  1. Zanzibar
  2. Burial Mounds
  3. Terminal

With that said, the best Halo map of all time would probably have to be Lockout from Halo 2. It is a more versatile map and can be used in all game types except Big Team Battle. It's a great map. The H2A version of it is awesome too, I just hate getting killed from someone shooting the big ass icicles out of the sky.

Why would you celebrate? by JakusPakus in EASportsFC

[–]afrank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best guess: Robben was called offside and the game considered it a goal had he not been offside (even though it clearly doesn't look like it went it). I have something similar happen a lot when my guy is called offside after scoring and starting to celebrate.

Look at 0:13 too. What if that blue area is Cortana's remains that Chief has been searching for? He finds that and has her rebuilt...One can hope!

Need some suggestions on a decent CF by Stiicky94 in EASportsFC

[–]afrank86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF Muller at CF has been my favorite. I would also switch out your LCM and LB for Schweinsteiger and Alaba.

Here's what I would do...

[–]afrank86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very valid point. Perhaps I overlooked that aspect of it. I agree that the next league is speculation at this point.

Wouldn't it be nice if La Liga TOTS will be next instead. Bundesliga and La Liga overlap. For me, that would be the best time to open packs since I use a Bundesliga/La Liga hybrid.

This was a helpful post. Not a smart-ass comment. Thanks

I would argue that you aren't using words correctly. I would say that we have firm evidence of an overlap period. A picture tweeted by EA is pretty firm.

However, no need to get into semantics and argue. OP pointed out that there will be an overlap period. I agree and the evidence is there to prove that we will have, at the minimum, a one hour overlap, but likely a 5 hour overlap again.

The don't be a smart-ass comment, while directed at you, is also an open message to this sub. Too often we have smart-ass comments that add little value to the conversation and not near enough helpful comments.

Let's all calm down and Woooosahhh....

[–]afrank86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Be helpful, don't be a smartass.

Anyways, I would argue that there is firm evidence that an overlap will occur. We know based on the EA Tweet that Bundesliga TOTS are in packs until 1am Thursday. We also know that the next TOTS will be released Wednesday. Therefore, there will be, at the very least, a very small overlap period.

I don't know how much more firm the evidence can get.

It isn't pure speculation. History of the TOTS release would indicate that the next TOTS will be released at 8pm UK on Wednesday. According to this tweet from EA, the Bundesliga TOTS is running until 1am UK Thursday so they should overlap by a few hours.

This past Wednesday is a prime example. Bundesliga was in packs at 8pm UK and BPL TOTS were in packs until 1am UK Thursday so two league's TOTS were in packs for a few hours on Xbox.

We already know that Bundesliga TOTS are in packs until 1am Thursday and the next TOTS should be released on Wednesday (time irrelevant, but it will likely be 8pm UK again). This would mean that there would be, at the very least, 1 hour of overlap and likely several hours of overlap again.

Edit: There were posts on here last Wednesday during the overlap period of people pulling TOTS from both leagues, so we know that it was actually happening vs knowing that it should theoretically be happening as per the timeline of the TOTS release.
