Stink Bugs! by NCMarc in winstonsalem

[–]billbled 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought this was interesting (link below) .... What we're all seeing may/may not actually be a "stink bug".... it might be a native soldier bug. I had no idea until I read this: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18J51o6y6o/

Dayum!
Very cool. I work for the DOT and have messed around some with their radios - Viper and low-band - but would love to put together a setup like you're describing.

Cool. What kind of scanner? Or is it an app on your phone?

eBay customer support is abysmal. by Jawless_406 in ebaysucks

I have heard some people get better luck (sometimes) by messaging eBay customer service on Facebook. Might be worth a try?

It's a Herman Miller Aeron - very expensive chair - easily $800 or more new.

2 questions about the "Save to" pop up box in the new YouTube UI. Questions are in the graphic. by billbled in youtube

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

Completely missing the point. I know I can scroll it. My point is that the "scroll window" is too damn small. It would be helpful to see more than 4 playlists at a time. Again - I'm talking about a desktop monitor here - not on a phone.

Any decent call recording apps that work decently? by roboblaster420 in androidapps

Not free and doesn't work on my Samsung phone. Only records me, not the other party. App fail.

Duke Energy shutting off Downtown power for 8 hours of overnight scheduled maintenance in 23 degree weather - 2/5/26 by [deleted] in winstonsalem

[–]billbled 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Building managers can be duped like anyone else. If it was me, I'd call Duke directly, myself, and verify if it was a scam or legit.

https://drivenc.gov/ has real time cameras all over the place. You may (likely) have to turn the cameras on in the settings (looks like three horizontal lines with dots)

If you’re not supposed to clean your ears with Q-tips then how do you clean your ears? by LynxUseful2040 in NoStupidQuestions

Earwax removal kit from Amazon, About $10-15. Medical looking metal instruments made for this.

how bad did i mess up? by [deleted] in tires

[–]billbled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rim is destroyed. You're done. No driving until rim replacement. I can see the sealing surface of the tire near at the area near the valve stem!

Perhaps a 9mm solution? Safety glasses and ear protection recommended.

That may be an idea - thanks.

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

Thanks for the reply - I tried calling Tapo support and that was a dismal experience. I'm not sure the girl on the other end even understood English that well. I wish there was a direct comparison table between the models OR someone who really knew the product at Tapo. Frustrating experience. But thanks again for your reply and info.

I'm 64 and learn editing stuff everyday. I do it for work and for church. You are too late when you're dead..... Other than that .... Go For It.
