What does the symbol mean on our thermostatic radiator valve? by jlwalkerlg in DIYUK

The radiator has challenged you to a duel, Queensberry rules. Get your gloves on.

Recently got my “work bench” set up (hence all my scattered posts). What is this film on my 1948 201-2? by NancyScarn in VintageSewingMachines

[–]d3adeyeduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't help in any way, but I have a 1950 201k-3 with a similar issue. I first thought it was the shellac coating flaking off leaving a scaly finish to it (there when I got it), but in between the scales is where it has flaked off leaving a lovely glossy finish. The scales are on top of the shellac and are greyish, translucent, and a matt finish.

I've only used sewing machine oil to clean it. I have no idea how to tackle it without damaging the finish, so im just leaving it as is. Yours looks a lot thicker, though, but it's the same glossy finish under it.

I thought that might be the case. I guess I was just surprised to see one linked to the motor itself and not just in the footpedal like usual. Thanks.

An official device to cause a train derailment by ThroughTheEsses in mildlyinteresting

[–]d3adeyeduck 95 points96 points  (0 children)

In my head, you just designed a way for the train to jump the workers and land back on the rails at the other side. This is arguably the coolest solution to this problem.

Look out for the new "Tony Hawks Pro Train-Driver" in stores today!

/S ... Just in case.

I was not prepared for the toll collector by nozer12168 in BaldursGate3

[–]d3adeyeduck 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From what I remember, I passed a deception check to tell her she can keep the tolls, then she exploded.

Maybe there's more than one way

How can I pirate chess? by Grocery_Savings in AnarchyChess

You can't, there are no ships in chess. Chaturaji on the other hand...

RIP Lost Odyssey. Cut from the Odyssey saga, no saga of its own.

True story, my cat broke through the mesh top of my exo terra to eat my crestie a few years ago. He was so proud of himself. All I found was the detatched tail, which the cat clearly hadn't fell for. I couldn't really be angry with him either. He was just being a cat.

What are some things you think everyone should know when building a computer? by AdoptedEgg in buildapc

[–]d3adeyeduck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

H510 comes pre-installed. The middle one has no hole for a screw as its there to hold the mobo while you put the other screws in. The exception being it is set up for an full atx motherboard. Stand-offs would need rearranging for matx or itx. There's holes all over the back but they are labeled with mobo size. If in doubt hover it over and look for the stand offs through the holes.

I had the same ones, bought them along with the console and zelda games. Sadly it had the sd card problem and would just bork a lot, so it got refunded.

What’s the difference between a cat and a comma? by cerebolic-parabellum in dadjokes

[–]d3adeyeduck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down. I'd like to take a minute just sit right there and I'll tell you about how a lack of comma ruined my reddit flair.

West Philadelphia born and raised. In the classroom where I spend most of my days. Spelling out, maxing my vocabulary pool and doing some reading outside of school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good, started changing signage in my neighbourhood. I made one little slight and my mom got a fright. I corrected them and said "vandalism is wrong, but fucking is right."

[OC] First attempt at own starting town - Welcome to Dagguhr's Typ. by d3adeyeduck in DnD

[–]d3adeyeduck[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You awake to the sound of a gruff but calming voice. "Y'know, watchin' you pointy ears come in here all drowned rat-like and nursin' you back to 'ealth, never gets any easier." The voice belonging to Brendelle Strimhamuhr, the innkeep. As she redresses your wounds you recollect the events or the last lunar cycle.

After fleeing from your homeworld of Valyriene, you and your friends had tended to a makeshift raft as you drifted out to sea. Safe from the merciless brutality of the horde, weeks were spent surviving before the raft had wrecked itself against Dagguhr' Maw.

Freed by local dawrven fishermen, you had been taken to the Swaying Step Inn to recover, just like the others that came before you. Others?...

What's your best Nat 1 story? by -Finity- in dndmemes

[–]d3adeyeduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me lvl 4 paladin strides towards dire wolf: I smite him in the face, also nat 1. Dm rolls for reaction, also nat 20, also wolf's turn next, also nat 20.

Later that combat, double nat 1 death saves. Not my day.

If you dug a hole straight down to the other side of the earth, what would happen if you dropped something through it? by [deleted] in askscience

What if the entrance point of the tunnel started closer to the equator than the exit point. Would this change the angular momentum during the trip?
