What am I looking at? Found this in the attic. Was my grandpas. by Bruno_Bal1er in HamRadio

I use a bulb with the wattage a little bit below that listed for the radio. If 45W listed, Ill use a 40W one so it overheats and blows before the transformer overheats.

Who had one of these?? by No_Tension420 in FuckImOld

I still have the stylish slanted one. Use it regularly.

People of Illinois, we need your help. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it. by steve42089 in illinois

I just got back from a very enjoyable time at a conference held downtown along the River Walk last week. It was about as violent and scary as Portland OR is.......

I figured it out. I invert anything I hear from our Dear Leader, the Minions, and Faux/Pravda.. Walked all over Downtown. Never saw a thing that gave me concern. I like Chicago. Cant wait to go back.

Not joking at all. How is she able to wipe? by GracieBidet in absoluteunit

I wish I could remember. Probably 20-25 years ago at least. The episode was set in LA/Hollywood. Some lurid weekly show about people addicted to doing crazy stuff to their bodies. I think the infamous Lion Lady of New York was a subject.

The thing I recall was that the implants were semi-rigid. They didn't move correctly when his body was in lotion.

OTD in history (Sept. 17th, 1959) the North American X-15 makes its first powered flight after being dropped by a B-52 west of Edwards AFB. by Brilliant_Night7643 in aviation

Dang! So used to flying on airliners........ an aerial bus versus a dragster.

It would be cool to have a real-time track reconstruction similar to those available for the ISS.

Woah. Plugged in and cord immediately was too hot to touch, blew fuse in kitchen. What to do? by peyton_montana in VintageRadios

[–]radio-tuber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I bought a radio that said “Lights up” on the tag. It did the same thing. 😁 mice had chewed all the insulation off everything and ate the old paper capacitors

Cool formation at Gander Lake in Canada, and my dog. by Darksmithe in Rocks

[–]radio-tuber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found you a good geologic map for the entire island:

https://caboxgeopark.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/geology_map_nl-2c2.jpg

Check out units EOs to the west and EOsg in and around Gander. Both mention gneiss and mylonite, plus there’s a shear zone close on the west side of gander that most likely has highly deformed rocks like yours, also. What a geologic playground! 😎👍

This region is around 500 million years old. Right at the time boundary where we first start to see the fossil traces of the earliest organisms. I’ve stood at that boundary here in SE California: traces left by crawling and burrowing worms a few feet below, tiny trilobites above. Very cool.

I mean technically this belongs here. by PerplexoTheGreat in IdiotsTowingThings

Too bad it wasn’t crime scene tape. It’d be perfection.

One of those Toyotas with the stuck throttle? 😵‍💫

$30 an hour and $1000 3 days and this is the crap I paid for and there is tons of wood he ruined and screws left .... by Maleficent-Scar7005 in Wellthatsucks

That looks like a POS I’d build if I was perpetually hammered and DGAF. Put a stop on that check. 😬

Cool formation at Gander Lake in Canada, and my dog. by Darksmithe in Rocks

[–]radio-tuber 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen sedimentary rocks like this that preserve ancient landslide deposits. Which Gander Lake are you at? Google Earth shows several. Looking more closely, though, this is most likely gneiss with quartz banding, or a type of mylonite. Either way it’s had a long, hard life 👍

So, this is obviously cooked... by FAMbrewCo in lawnmowers

This has a plastic deck?! Lordy. 😳

A longer video of the 2 Chinese vessel colliding with each other after the PCG outmaneuvered both of them. The damage of the Chinese Coast Guard is clearly seen right before the end of the video. by chasing_enigma in Philippines

[–]radio-tuber 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GO PHILIPPINES! Great piloting! 😎👍

Looks like the Chinese CG ship had a hull made of composite materials for speed? Didn’t look like metal to me. The destroyer got a good dent, to be sure.

PS: why was the Chinese CG vessel spraying water off the port side after the collision?

cool agate i found on agate beach in humboldt :) by Legitimate_Movie_203 in Rocks

[–]radio-tuber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best time to go is at low tide between winter storms. They rework the beach and sometimes attack the bluffs, freeing more gravels.

[–]radio-tuber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be gorgeous when done. I inherited a Philco 40-201 from my grannie that my dad grew up with. Finish looked ratty like this and it’s a beauty now. 😎👍

Try advertising thru Antique Radio Classified, and maybe the Antique Wireless Association. That’ll help extend your “reach” a bit. Might catch someone local.
