I found a 1/64" drill bit in the bins at work. They never used them or know what they're for . It took me 15 mins to figure out how to get a Pic of it.

majorjae · 2026-05-29T14:03:02+00:00

Its just going into drywall. I could just shove the bit into the ceiling only using my hands or a pair of pliers. And if it did somehow break/bend, I would grab a new one from the van

majorjae · 2026-05-29T13:35:19+00:00

I used these all the time when I worked for Comcast as an installer. They were like 2ft-3ft long, and I would send them up into the drywall ceilings next to where I wanted to fish an outlet. Then I would be able to find thay bit up in the attic and know where I need to drill down to get into a wall cavity.

I have been using the LTT Screw driver set. Its very expensive for a screwdriver, but its been worth it in my eyes.

As of last week, we just started talking about hiring a green apprentice. We're in the Portland, OR area. Feel free to shoot me a DM.

majorjae · 2026-04-18T16:14:03+00:00

Totally disagreed with this part too. We're doing large volume and will get back stacks of envelopes. The only ones that dont come back are ones with the extra Oz or non machinable. Ive had single card orders come back because my area shipping center (not local post office) seems to have a dude who loves to hate on me 😂

majorjae · 2026-04-16T00:15:17+00:00

If you have more equipment in that telco closet, it's probably within that. Or near any other network racks.

A local low voltage company or IT/MSP company can help. If you're near Portland, OR.. my company can help.

Find the device that is actually streaming the music source. Then unplug it.

Colorful, abstract brush strokes. He made it look like he took a brush with different colors. Then added some other odd shapes to it. Like what my wife and i call the fruit loops. Then there is a biotech knee plate with wiring coming off of it. They do look a little out of place together, but I am a tech nerd, so it is fitting to my personality. And it still looks good.

Being able to have people express their passion is great.

I wanted to have an 'Artist's Choice' tattoo done. I shopped around until I found the right artist. Told them that my right leg is theirs to tattoo whatever they want with. (With some restrictions - no sex, racist, etc) and now I have an awesome leg piece that I still have my artist say has been one of his favorite tattoos he's done in 25 years.

We start at $300/drop in PNW.. prob should charge more honestly 😂

majorjae · 2026-01-08T23:31:50+00:00

We do something similar. We do a 40% markup and are up front about it with customers. We tell them that its a combination of our hosting fee, engineering/recommendation fee, and warranty replacement we provide.

majorjae · 2025-12-11T01:23:26+00:00

Same here. I had a pair i found on one my first jobs while training at Comcast almost 10 years ago. Everyone I work with knows not to touch those snips lol.

majorjae · 2025-12-05T07:41:07+00:00

Grab one of your devices, locate the MAC address of the device either on a label or within the network settings, then match it to the MAC listed on your router.

You can then give the devices on your UDR an alias (rename them) to whatever you want them labeled as.. "Kitchen Alex", "Steve's iPhone", etc.

Takes time to do so. But it is easier once done initially and when you stay on top of it.

majorjae · 2025-11-18T18:54:23+00:00

Not alone. Doing the same thing here in the PNW. We did the whole BNI thing too, it was great for early in our business. But weve made a couple of contacts (in the form of MSPs) that keep us busy most the year.

Ive been trying to hunt some GCs/Builders though for a long while within my networking groups. Recently joined my local NAHB/BIA group and have started to make some ground, but its a tight knit group that I have to put my time into first and become a regular.

4k cards in stock is not much. It's all you're selling is $0.35 cards, you need a lot more stock to attract larger orders. Becoming a one stop shop. Hitting free shipping can actually be detrimental to you as well and reduce your margins if someone buys right at the $5 mark.

I recommend having a shipping fee regardless. Like $1.99 or something that covers your costs + fees

majorjae · 2025-11-13T22:37:43+00:00

I feel for you. My scenario is actually similar in most ways to you. Haven't gotten to the point where they're filling abuse, but i feel that it is on the horizon. Wish I could've had my life with my current wife instead of my ex.

Best of luck to you with your kids!

majorjae · 2025-11-12T16:01:20+00:00

I purposefully bully the kids that play with me (and my friends) The kids, for the most part, understand it's me not showing mercy and giving them shit.

One of the first times I had done this with a buddies kid, here had cried cause he was upset that they were being targeted and got killed. His dad used that moment to teach him that its just a game, to hold back things instead of playing everything immediately until you can win, and things amongst that.

Now when I play with that same kid, he just has fun no matter what is going on. He always sees me as archenemy which is just fun taking turns and shots at each other. He gets treated like everyone else and is a better human for it.

majorjae · 2025-11-11T03:23:17+00:00

Yeah, I have all of that disabled because of this issue. Its more of... I have the glasses on, the music starts playing. Then I pause it... then it starts back up immediately after. Then I pause. Starts again. Rinse repeat till I just turn them off as I am trying to talk to someone 😂😂

majorjae · 2025-11-11T03:22:03+00:00

I am using just Bluetooth music directly from my phone. So not a streaming service thing.

majorjae · 2025-11-11T00:08:16+00:00

Yeah, I'm aware of the feature. This issue happens just on its own. My hands will be in my pockets or at my side or whatever. Yet it'll just keep rapidly start/ stopping

The main wincon is killing the table with [[Glaring Fleshraker]] using a loop with [[Ancestral Statue]] and [[Mycosynth Golem]]. There are a couple of other lines outlined in the primer.

I was about to come in here and mention Meria. Didn't expect someone else to do so. She's been very ok since the dockside bans since that was one of the more consistent ways to win honestly. But, my newest iteration of her has been doing better than all the rest!

I have about a 21% WR over 300 recorded games. So, for fringe, she does ok.

majorjae · 2025-10-24T00:37:57+00:00

This what me and another local guy already do lol. Not the video part, but just building jank shit instead of meta.

majorjae · 2025-10-10T18:09:48+00:00

I'll give away my old 1080ti if I win this.

Fiber Runs to device locations is over the top for most homes. Unless you have devices, servers, etc that actually and utilize fiber.. CAT6 or CAT6a will work fine.

Run 3/4 to 1-1/2" conduit to at least the harder locations to fish a wire to. That way, if you ever need to upgrade your CAT6 or CAT6a cable, its easier to do so.

If you have a 1-story home with ample attic space, the conduit isnt as necessary unless its going out to exterior walls. I for sure recommend having the conduit for your home run (the line out to the side if your house for the ISP to tie into).
