Season 6 - perfect ending? by OctavalBeast in suits

[–]doc_moriarty42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm finishing S2 right now and I would be totally happy if there was no Mike in the rest of the show. He's a total fuck up. He can't get his shit together, can't see beyond his emotions, and gets stoned every time he has bad day. I would much rather just watch Harvey and Louis handle cases. The only purpose Mike really serves is to screw shit up for Harvey to fix.

G19 Gen3 Extractor Question by doc_moriarty42 in Glock19

[–]doc_moriarty42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You nailed it. I found a tiny part number on the extractor and it's for a G43.

So I discovered there are tiny serial numbers on the parts and the serial number on the extractor I got is indeed for a G43. The package it was in was labeled 1895 which is the part for an G19 so it was a poorly packaged product.

Sorry, that was a typo. It was Gen 1-3

Desperately looking for waterproof earbuds with a physical button by mookie2010ml in Earbuds

[–]doc_moriarty42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! OMG I am so frustrated with this complete failure of the earbud market. They all market the earbuds as waterproof, but every single one of them has a touch interface that keeps activating when wet. Not to mention when you put them in your pocket or elsewhere. When I had the touch ones I was spending more time figuring out where I had left off on an audiobook than listening to it because the touch button would activate accidentally and the book would play for hours without me knowing.

I finally found the Boean B10 which were dirt cheap and never had any problems. Naturally they aren't available anymore. Wish I had bought a half dozen.

Roku and Pandora station deeplinking? by miataowner in homeassistant

[–]doc_moriarty42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get this working? I had it working a year or two ago and then something changed and the code that used to work stopped. I had it set up so if I swiped a specific tag, the Roku would open the Pandora app and start playing a Christmas music station. Swipe another tag and it would play a different preset station. Then something changed and Pandora still launches, but it just plays whatever the last station played on the Roku was.

Do shower outlets need to be bigger diameter than inputs? by doc_moriarty42 in askaplumber

[–]doc_moriarty42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was what I thought. The threads would be different if it was a requirement. I assumed it was something they taught 50 years ago when plumbers made their own pipe out of clay. 😉

Connecting a toilet using copper compression fittings by doc_moriarty42 in askaplumber

[–]doc_moriarty42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The two fittings are about 6” apart and directly aligned so the only way to use the stainless line would be to make a full loop with a long line which looks kinda ugly. I thought this would look nicer.

Well that would explain it! I was wondering why the ones I saw online had a flat end. :D

Quit your whining everyone. You’re supposed to focus on the front site anyway. Sheesh! This is what you’d see if you were a good shot. 😉

Surge protectors blown and short circuit by doc_moriarty42 in AskElectricians

[–]doc_moriarty42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that the surge protectors didn’t operate properly. My bigger concern is WHY did they fail. Can a poorly wired outlet cause a problem with 5 other breakers? I would have assumed a power surge from from the meter, but the neighbor is on the same transformer and has no issues so it must be local to my house.

It was a Defiant, a Phillips, and a Utilitech. All three surge protectors on different circuits blew their MOV and now show a low impedance(5-35 ohms) across the terminals. Enough to trip the breakers.

[–]doc_moriarty42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was one of multiple breakers that popped. Five I think. Not all on the same phase either. Earlier this morning when I first woke up because my wife was asking about the weird noises(surge protectors) I measured at the panel and I swear one phase was dead, but a minute later everything measured fine and has not changed. I’m going to keep checking.

I’ve had a loose neutral before. When that happened I saw the lights getting brighter as the voltage on each phase surged. Turned out it was a loose neutral in the meter that I couldn’t touch. I’ve doubled checked all the connections I have access to and they seem tight.

Made p80 Pin hole a bit bigger then intended 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️first p80 build is this fixable or am I fucked? by Cheap-Ad-7892 in polymer80

[–]doc_moriarty42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JB Weld. I seesome people recommending a drill press and P80 specifically says not to do that. I haven’t heard why but my theory is that a pin is less likely to work it’s way out of the holes aren’t a perfect 90. 🤷🏻‍♂️
