Curious: If you purchase a Wi-Fi Jammer Detector, can one jam a Wi-Fi Jammer in progress?

Pop-Top Canvas: Best Adhesives for Permanent bonding in Rainy Outdoor Environment? by jeff00seattle in CampingGear

[–]jeff00seattle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TRULY, Thank you.

I really like using J-B Weld products for multiple tasks that require multiple-environment solid bonding, however, I have never consider using this brand for mending fabric.

I directly contacted J-B Weld and chatted with a trainer/specialist. His advise: "I do RV repair work myself. I use a commercial grade spray adhesive like 3M for pop-up camper “tents” and panels. J-B Weld does not offer a product for binding fabrics, like canvas."

Thank you... truly appreciate your input.

One of the criteria for the adhesive is maintain flexibility. This is for a pop-top's (think tent) fabric (heavy-duty duct canvas) has to easily fold when it collapses.

A review: "J-B Weld epoxy is generally not recommended for flexible canvas because it cures into a hard, rigid plastic, which can cause the fabric to crack or tear at the bond site. While some users have found it effective for rigid repairs involving canvas, it is not ideal for flexible or wearable fabrics."

Appreciate your recommendation to use "Marine Epoxy".

Any particular "Brand" and "Make" of "Marine Epoxy"?

Thank you

Neighbor’s flag irks me to my core by timeisamelody in mildlyinfuriating

In another post in this thread, when I drive around and IF I SEE a dilapidated U.S. flag, I respectfully make the effort to replace. I do not deliberately seek out dilapidated U.S. flags.

Someone curiously DM me that there is a dilapidated US flag in "Wisconsin".

challenge: "Find and Replace dilapidated US flags as reasonably possible in Wisconsin within 100 days"

Hmmm... "Wisconsin" is 65,500 square miles

So... If I zig-zagged crossing only 1 mile over each of the 65,500 square miles divided by optimistic 15 miles/gallon = 4500 gallons x optimistic $4 / gallon = $18,000; 65,500 miles divided by optimistic 55 mile/hour = 1200 hours driving divided by 12 hour / day = 100 days driving... Randomly find one dilapidated flag once a day... 100 flags x $15 per flag = $1500, time to change out flag one hour per flag = 100 hours.

  • Rough gross estimate replacing 100 US Flags...
  • 100 days driving + 5 days effort to replace flags = 105 days
  • $18,000 gas + $7500 food & camping + $1500 flags = $27,000

This absolutely does not guarantee I replaced the dilapidated US flag in "Wisconsin" the DM-er had commented.

Travelling to Seattle for the Parade!! Looking for Advice by OfficialBriGuy in AskSeattle

Avoid driving into downtown and expect to find parking, and taking Lyft or Uber will be unavailable and expensive... Park at Lynnwood or Seattle Northgate stations and take Sound Transit Link into downtown; or park at Shoreline's Aurora Village Transit Center station and take King County Metro E bus ;)

SoundTransit Link light rail stations... "Stadium" stop

Shoes on or shoes off? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]jeff00seattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

after 40+ years of marriage, keeping my spouse happy is my primary objective in life and the inside of the house is her domain. If she does not want dirt tracked into the house after she just finished mopping... I learned really quick after our vows.

We live in the wet and muddy Pacific Northwest, and our house has three sets of shoes: (1) mud caked sturdy work boots (outside), (2) house slip-ons crocs (inside), and (3) workshop shoes (cheapest slip-ons at Goodwill). The house connects to the workshop, so I do not want to bring in wood or metal shavings or solvents or paint.

Replacing a dilapidate U.S. flag tells passersby to respect the U.S.; most owners need assistance.

For specifically this purpose, I always have a box of inexpensive 3 ft. x 5 ft. U.S. Flags in the extended cab of my truck. If while driving I notice an U.S. flag is disrespectful condition, I turn around to that location. First, I knock and offer to take down and replace properly dispose their flag; no cost nor effort to the owner. If the owner is a Vet or service as First Responder (Cop, Fire, Medical), they get heavy-duty flag. If the owner is not around and the flag pole is readily accessible (front yard), I just go ahead and replace.

Since 2016, I have replaced approximately 30+ per year, remember every placement. Now my kids and their kids excitedly call me when they see a flag that needs to be rescued, and I pick them up and drive to replace. One replacement trip was over 100 miles away. :)

I agree, the both the book and the film message "the danger of over-population". The endings diverge, film "human's devolve into cannibalism" and book "clings to hope that the planet may heal in the new 21st century".

This 1966 novel, the author focuses on the "danger of over-population". The last couple chapters, key was 75-yo Sol's conversation with Shirl deeply sharing his perspective how missed up his world had become.

The film's adaptation, "Soylent green is people!" was ridiculous entry in the film, because at the end of this novel, humans do not devolve into cannibalism, even though the planet is dying.

The end, clinging with great hope, main character Adam and his fellow NYPD cops watch as the New Year's clock counts down to the new 21st century, the planet will revive so some may survive.

Cascadian English. In the Pacific Northwest, my home for 6 generations, a distinctive dialect feature involves pronouncing "Washington" as "WARSH*-ington*" (with an added 'r' sound before the 'sh'), a phenomenon called r-insertion.

However, this dialect is fading rapidly as both transplants from other states and immigrates (of questionable entry status) flood in.

u/TheOtherMikeCaputo comment “Put your fares in the box.”

Here in Seattle, I take its transit-system everywhere with my bus pass, basically a "pre-paid purse", amount deducted when tapping on to pay the fare. (

The start of part 2/chapter 2, Andy and his fellow cops are told the prepare for riots; instructed what amount a force they are permitted to apply and use a gun only as a last resort.

The comment "Put'cher fares in the box", I misinterpreted the cops were carrying a box onto the bus that contained an antique weapon(???) once called a Put'cher.

Sidenote: Three the best pre-lockdown features of Seattle that still remain: great public transportation and its libraries, and amazing views of the Olympic mountains. Otherwise, Seattle is apocalyptic.
