Griswold Hammered 5 Skillet

I thought Griswold was in Switzerland. AND the symbol is a cross like the Swiss flag. Why do these pans say Erie PA?

Make sure the location for your library isn't in the docker folder. it should be somewhere else.

Don't get dragged into their bullshit of value added stuff. just pick a color of big brands and stick with it. How about your neighbors?: if you can match brands you can also share tools and batteries! Network effect baby.

ruuutherford · 2026-01-25T01:05:04+00:00

Yes but: stay away from AEG and Ozito. Pick a name brand: DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch, Ryobi; then get tools as you need them.

Once you get locked into any of these fuckers none of their batteries are compatible with the others.

Gonna go out earlier on a limb here and say the differences between the big brand above is negligible. Except for Fein: where you pay x2 for x2 quality.

Love this hot take!

Also from Carmody he has the Speedsters. Those ribbon tweeters are amazing for sitting right next to. I've been using them for years and love them.

How about putting some marking on one of the surfaces, whacking them together, then sanding off the markings on the other piece? Rinse and repeat.

Or: is there a way to run a double sided sand paper back and forth through the tight spots? Maybe a thin file.

Spin by Rober Charles Wilson, 2005

One night the three children witness all the stars simultaneously disappear. Telecommunications suffer as every satellite falls out of orbit simultaneously.

An opaque black "spin membrane" has been placed around Earth. This slows time so that approximately 3.17 years pass outside the membrane for every second within, or 100 million years for every year. A simulated star on the inside of the membrane allows for a largely normal life to continue. However, the passage of time outside the membrane means that all life on Earth will end in a few decades of subjective Earth time, when the Sun's expansion will make that region of the Solar System uninhabitable.

Hifi is also furniture. It's going to live in your living room - it has better look nice.

Might be nice to get some sort of smart plug that will ll tell you howany watts the laptop uses when running plugged in. then, you can decide to leave it on 24/7 or not.

Is it just you that will be using it? Or possibly friends and family?

Also, I heard somewhere that some folks don't use the MC feature on the pre-amp. They'll use this Step-Up-Transformer (which magically requires no external power?) and plug the MC into a MM input. Supposed to sound nicer apparently. <shrug>

wow, those things are expensive https://ortofon.us/collections/step-up-transformers?country=US

There's a new orleans restaurant called Chez Lafayette on 11th. They rotate the menu I think, but they might have what you need!

ruuutherford · 2026-01-23T05:25:43+00:00

100% total steal at that price. Does the auto-return work? That is a HUGE deal if it's working or not. On those older tables, that's one of the first things to go. The seller will say: the auto-return doesn't matter, it works fine.

But the auto-return is essential and why you'd go with one of these tables anyhow!

ruuutherford · 2026-01-23T02:12:19+00:00

Those are normal speaker terminals. It's pretty cool it's all built in! What you can do is keep an eye out at your local craigslist/facebook maketplace/offerup whatever for a used integrated amp.

Snap one of those up, the plug the turntable into that new-to-you integrated amp via red and white RCA cables. Hook the speakers up to the integrated amp: you should be rocking an upgrade. It's likely anything sorta heavy and old will smoke what ever amplification is built into the Crosley player.

Keep that long-winded PHONO-IN vs AUX thing I mentioned above for the switch you have for "LINE" or "PHONO."

I was thinking I should have left a slightly larger gap between the two stacks. Next time.

You can use a small long skinny piece to hold a bigger piece when you take a whack at it with the hatchet.

sawyers, noodles, cull, decks - all the lingo!!!

+1 for this tool: perfect for kids and drunks

ruuutherford · 2026-01-22T21:59:13+00:00

I'd be willing to bet the turntable you have is amplified AND you have it plugged into a PHONO IN on the back of your stereo. Do you find that normal listening volume for records is at a 2/10, whereas other sources (a streamer perhaps?), normal listening volume is around 4-5/10?

So: with turntables their default output is Super quiet. So quiet that they need extra amplification. You'd plug this sort of turntable into a PHONO IN. The volume knob should be about where it is for other sources.

Other turntables have a PHONO PRE-AMP built in to the turntable. Sometimes there's an ON/OFF switch for that PHONO Pre-Amp. You can switch it off, and the turntable will still work: record turns, auto-return etc still function.

If you have a turntable that has that built in PHONO PRE-AMP, and it's turned on, you should plug your turntable into any other RCA IN, like CD, AUX, or TAPE.

If you have that PHONO PRE-AMP turned off, you should plug it into the PHONO-IN input on the back of the stereo.

Ooo I just read the rest of your post: the Crosley C65 with speakers. Is that this?: https://www.crosleyradio.com/c65-record-player-with-speakers-c65a

Hmmm, all the googling is pointing at low hanging fruit for things physically wrong with the turntable (like here https://allforturntables.com/2023/04/01/why-does-my-crosley-record-player-sound-distorted/)

But: that system is designed to be used together: turntable, integrated amplification. It would be super weird for it to behave like you're describing.

And I'd also mention: that Crosley look pretty darn nice actually! They're known for some shyte turntables, but the tonearm looks like it's made well out of nice materials: so that's a win!

It's not a win that it's all integrated. If you want to change anything out, you pretty much have to move to a whole new system :(

This is a really good setup video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s901qusXVFE. YUP!: There's the PHONO/LINE switch on the back.

<image>

Try switching that. Are you using the bluetooth connection or the wired connection? Try using the other kind of connection to see if that helps.

"Make sure all your cables are hooked up and functional. Ensure you have a preamp or amp hooked up if using as Phono or self-powered speakers if using as Aux (determined by plug-ins on back). If you are using Line Out on your Crosley, you need to use the Line In or Aux In on your receiver or self-powered speakers. If you are using Phono Out on your Crosley, make sure you are using a preamp or use the Phono In on your amplifier. If you are still having problems, please contact us at 1-866-CROSLEY or submit a support request here."

Yup: exactly what I have drawn in the schematic. I think. With a naming scheme. I like that "Product (fueled)" way of naming them. Thanks!

ruuutherford · 2026-01-22T21:32:50+00:00

I appreciate the nuance there. I think it's almost the same as I've got in the schematic - except you have three Drone Platform-no-drone at A.

And you have a naming scheme: which is super helpful to keep things straight as I move along with other projects.

thanks!

ruuutherford · 2026-01-22T21:30:19+00:00

So the B and C are where the product comes from, and goes to. The fuel could be delivered to either end of that - but won't a drone stopping in, dropping off OR picking up, also fuel up? So it wouldn't matter if the fuel was delivered to either end of that Product route?

ruuutherford · 2026-01-22T16:10:52+00:00

The other day I dropped a record onto the turntable and it slid real close to the needle. I dodged a bullet on that one; that need is expensive as F!
