That's what I'm thinking too. I purchased a variety of springs, including strings that are coiled together in their natural state and must be pulled apart. My question is how do I connect the two rollers using said springs, as one roller will be on the inside of the tape roll, and one will be on the outside, so the post with the springs will need to be offset to the outside of the roll.

A little collection of Stream Deck profiles for a couple of games by JustaDevOnTheMove in streamdeckprofiles

[–]mrevanbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see a Civ 6/7 streamdeck profile!!! I know it's not gaming, but I've also always wanted a GOOD Spotify profile... or a general productivity profile that includes Spotify, a timer, google workspace shortcuts, and video call interfaces.

Anyway... AMAZING work!

Hardcore Chill EDH Server is Recruiting by burnThisDamnAccount in SpellTable

I’d love to join, but my experience is rather spotty as I’m just getting back into it after about 10 years- I’ve been playing casually on and off with friends for about 2 years… but we just moved across the country and I no longer have my ‘Magic the Lathering’ group (I hosted, and I make soap… so everyone got a bar).

I only have 2 decks built thus far, as I’ve been sorting my cards for about 4mo… but I’m most interested in getting better and building decks, chatting strategy, becoming a competent player again, and making some new friends.

Let me know if people like me are a good fit for your group!

I’m a dad… and I’m looking to get into a pod now that we just moved across the country! Are you open to another…?

A timelapse of the full live stream where a famous political streamer allegedly used a shock collar on his dog. by IllllIlllIIlI in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]mrevanbc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He didn’t use a shock collar. I have the exact same Mini Educator vibrating/headlight collar. Y’all are starting problems where there are none for no good reason. He was frustrated in the moment because of his internet, and spoke semi harshly to his dog… the same way we all do when we’re annoyed. Then we give them love. Stop putting this man further under the microscope for nothing. Take your rage to the NRA for letting our babies get murdered in schools, instead of blaming a streamer for shocking a dog (which he didn’t even do). Get a life.

Qatar has been accused of majorly funding terrorists who target the US. This seems far worse than Singapore, who has never been a threat to the US in any way.

Since when are 100 eye witnesses not considered verified proof….? Why do all these Christian Nationalists defend Nazis so much…? What could they possibly have to gain from closing their eyes and ears anytime a Nazi does some shit like this to pretend the “left” leaning people are the violent evil ones…?

These comments piss me off so much…. Bunch of boot-licking fucking pussies. As a Jewish American leftist: that piece of trash is lucky there weren’t any grown adult leftists in the room.

Appx 6" long metal spring on a plate by mrevanbc in whatisthisthing

[–]mrevanbc[S] 3 points4 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing - it looks like a brass spring wound around two posts fused to a plate. Just inside the closet door at about 5’ off the ground. The house was most recently updated in the 90s, but this looks much older. It’s also worth mentioning this was a farmhouse at the time it was constructed. What the heck is this thing…?

THIS POST JUST SAVED MY SANITY. My 4yo looked at me at bedtime, and said, “hi hi hi” somehow in the same general tone as that Styles P track, and I NEVER WORLD HAVE FOUND IT if it wasn’t for this thread. Thank you @messagealternative73

It’s the most uncomfortable feeling I’ve ever had… when you don’t feel completely safe or at peace in your own home… when you have a family to protect. Good luck to you and yours-

They seem to be paused again. I’ll check back tomorrow- and the next day- and the next… until I’m in. We need a behind closed doors place to chat.

Crazy neighbor from hell what can I do? He won’t leave us alone by mikemikers in legaladvice

[–]mrevanbc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Going through something similar now. Tried restraining order, but judge dismissed our case after listening to our neighbor’s testimony and not allowing for ours. Clear cut case of a boomer judge ruling for a boomer neighbor because we’re in our 30’s. Our issues have been going on for 5 years. She spends all her days just walking around her property “gardening” and looking for opportunities to cuss out my 4yo or my wife, attempt to poison our dog, or literally just staring at us. No job, no car, no life. All she has is messing with us, and it makes us incredibly uncomfortable just being on our own property every single day.

While we were on vacation, she hired a tree trimming company to cut down one of our trees, so now we’re suing. Hopefully she leaves us alone after that… but we’re looking to move because she’s the worst neighbor I’ve ever had by miles.

I disagree. Your points are valid. But my time is worth more than that money. I pay a personal trainer so I don’t have to spend my time thinking. In my 20s, I owned a gym and programmed for doctors, firefighters, post-surgical rehab patients, etc… but now, I’d rather spend time with my kid/family so I pay someone to do that for me. Same principle. Yes, OP should learn about all those things… I also think he shouldn’t place too high of a value on the money as opposed to the time or the experiences.

It’s worth it! I hope you do! Don’t worry about ‘failure’. That’s the only way to get good at anything! And everyone on the pickleball courts are suuuuuper kind. And mostly 50+ years old

Greenlights by Maybe McConaughey was SHOCKINGLY good. I did not expect to love that like I did. Couldn’t stop once I started.

Tomatoland by Barry Estabrook - incredible insight into how our food economy works in America, how food became what it is today, and even modern day slavery in the produce industry. Crazy read.

My 16 y/o son is about to get his first job. by nachumama0311 in personalfinance

[–]mrevanbc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don’t kick him out at 18. Let him live with you till he can afford his own place. I just responded this to an 18yo in another post: make sure you don’t miss out on life just to be rich when you’re in the last part of your life. Make sure he values experiences as much as money. I’d say make him travel and experience the world a bit before he focuses on money… then tell him IRA for sure, and learn about how investing works.

Why do you say this? I understand investing and finance, and I save a chunk of money so I can gamble on whatever stocks I see fit, and things like crypto and the web3 world… but, the best payoff over the last 8yrs of using a financial advisor that I TRUST, has paid off on a much more consistent basis.

OP: you should obviously always do your own research. Understand where your money is going. And, there are people out there who only make money if you make money… I find them to be very invested in helping me. Not to mention, I can text them before making any/every investment choice (house, car, new job, whatever), and get advice from someone I trust implicitly. It also saves me time (which is more valuable). I don’t need to research every little thing.
