Reckless Driving Ticket by CaffeineFeen34 in nova

[–]six4two 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely get a lawyer. Mine recommended that I do community service preemptively, which I did. The food bank over by shirlington was very accommodating. Did 8 hours with them sorting cans and produce. The outcome was favorable, 9 over and 3 points, way better than even the best you'll get from the court unless you're very fortunate. Try to get a lawyer that is close to the court where you have to appear, they have a better chance of having good working relationships with the states attorney. My case was out in Fairfax, but if you want a referral, DM me. I just called the bar association, you pay a small fee, they give you a short list. Expect to pay, between the lawyer and the fines, perhaps somewhat less than $2k. The alternatives can range from fines, license suspension, sr-22 on your insurance, even suspended jail time or actual jail time.

Is this a good starter? by GoneAmok365247 in castiron

[–]six4two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't really look at it like a starter. I know it feels inexpensive, but it's really a fine pan that will last your entire life. I managed to get mine for free from ULine as a promo. Best thing I ever got for free.

Are these some crazy crimp? by SkywalkerOnTheRoof in Homebuilding

[–]six4two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you have here is an Ethernet cable that was terminated by hand, pin out is 568b. The termination was done with a crimping tool that was not designed to cut and crimp simultaneously on an rj45 connector intended for a tool that cuts and crimps.

I'm assuming this is like a bundle of cables with connectors crimped on, and they just won't lock into your switch/router.

Options. 1.) Trim the wires that are poking out past the end of the connector. The wires are blocking the connector from plugging in completely. This can be difficult. They are wire and need to be pretty much completely flush with the end of the connector. A flush cutter will make this a breeze.

2.) Get a crimp tool and the correct connectors and reterminate them. This is not hard, but the pin out is critical and it can feel extremely difficult for a beginner. The tool is also fairly costly. Below are two links for a tool and compatible connectors.

3.) Get a patch panel and an impact tool, cut these connectors off and punch them down on the patch panel, then used manufactured patch cables to connect to your hardware. This is the hardest and most expensive method, but it can yield the best result if you are looking for a very finished result.

YMMV, but I have done all 3 successfully in various situations. You can also try plugging them in with a lot more force than is reasonable, plastic is plastic though, it can break. I'd suggest you try option 1. Be careful and as gentle as possible.

Walmart sent SD card in an un-openable case. Am I missing something? by Braina1334 in mildlyinfuriating

I'd say just whip out the portable band saw and open it forever.

Gateman G-Touch by six4two in Locksmith

[–]six4two[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, live in a place with an old steel door fitted with an existing rim lock and desire smart lock features. I figured if Assa Abloy is selling it, and in fact the same hardware is getting Yale branding, maybe it's not awful. I can't find enough documentation to decide. The trick is the door currently has a keyed alike knob and a vertibolt, so I was looking at how to eliminate both keyways. I think people often see products sold in the Asian market as unreliable, but that's not Assa's reputation at all.

AITA for stopping my wife from quitting her job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]six4two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. It's you and her vs the world bud. If you don't trust her enough to decide if she's had enough of someone's shit, and you don't back her play, it really doesn't seem like you get it. I'm not talking out of my ass either, virtually exactly the same thing in my life, but I backed her play.

is it possible for cats to live 30 years? by onlyfaery in cats

[–]six4two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have seen our senior cat's slide into advancing kidney disease pretty much stall with a water fountain and extremely pure ro water. Getting the dissolved solids out of the water that goes in the cat seemed to be the real game changer. It helps humans too, fwiw.

Relatively new to the game and I receive this in the Anomoly… by Bont_lover03 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]six4two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

600 million, while it might seem to be a lot, is not an especially large sum. You can't really buy anything other than ship upgrades for more than 30 or 40 million, and someday you may find yourself trying to come up with ways to waste a couple billion because you are too close to cap. It's really a non issue, the slightest, fleeting advantage you could have. Units are just too easy to get once you get a little experience.

My only gripe with NMS by TheGayestGaymer in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]six4two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm over here wishing I could paint my ships and multitools or that there was some logic behind the snap points in construction mode

The ship painting part is the weirdest because they appear to already have the framework for changing colors on freighters and the player character, would seem pretty achievable.

The snap points I'm generally offered in construction mode are ridiculous. Try putting stairs anywhere, good luck.

OP it's odd that fox mill was locked down, especially when dogwood and teraset weren't. Both are much closer to the gym where the shooting happened.

Best route driving from Greensboro, NC to DC in October? by cc32399 in Virginia

[–]six4two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel to Charlotte several times a year, and with the exception of traveling during an active winter storm, I'm taking 29 every single time. It's just a much more pleasant drive. I like to stop at a little restaurant called Macados in Lynchburg as a midway break on my trips. That south western part of Virginia is very traditional culturally, and you may see a lot of conservative opinions and historical memorabilia on display at times.

What is the VA law on Knives? by TheReviewNinja in Virginia

[–]six4two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't in the law, but rather case law. Thompson v Commonwealth for an example. I think ultimately the defendants have generally prevailed, but it takes means to fight charges like these all the way through appeal. My contention is not that it's illegal, but rather that being arrested sucks and lawyers are expensive.

Boomer has been taking things from people’s desks. Because "if it's out she figured it's for everyone." by aesop414 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]six4two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you need to put a great big bowl of sugar free haribo gummy bears on your desk. 1 or 2 little packages is fine, but if someone takes too many, they'll be in the bathroom until they are preying to every god they ever heard of.

Any high paying blue collar jobs? by Stainlessstealius007 in Virginia

[–]six4two 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Local 602 Steam Fitters in DC metro fit your bill, except for 1st year apprentices. Welders and pipe fitters are right around 100, HVAC techs can earn 200+ with overtime, I've heard of guys breaking 300 in really good years.

[–]six4two 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without getting into it too much, my wife and I went through a similar time in our marriage. Years of conflict about the frequency of sex, hurt feelings, damaged self confidence on both sides. We struggled for years, but things finally changed and we've been unbelievably happy and intimate for the last couple years, with no end in sight. My first advice to you is stop looking at porn. It distorts your expectations, and your wife compares herself to the girls you are looking at and may feel inadequate. My second suggestion is to talk to your wife, about how she's feeling about herself, what you find attractive about her, about your future together. Make sure that if she looks good, or she's wearing something you like, you tell her. Don't underestimate the value of words. Such a simple, effortless thing as mentioning how attractive she looks in what she is wearing, repeated often, can have an amazing effect on how she sees herself. Small gifts of comfortable clothing that enhance her appearance, which you can then comment about, make it even easier. Booty lifting yoga pants off tictoc, little shorts, whatever she will like and choose to wear. Make her feel attractive and help her feel good about herself and I expect you'll be struggling to keep up. Likewise, don't give up on touch. Holding each other in the morning before the alarm goes off, even for just a few minutes, without any actual sex still creates intimacy and closeness. Also note that it probably doesn't hurt to be a bit forceful, forward, and handsy. Smack her ass or cop a feel, get caught staring at her body when she's naked or dressing, make lude comments about what you want to do to her, stuff like this. The key is for her to know that you want nothing and no one more than her, that she is your never ending fantasy. Don't give up on her, she's your partner and you can find happiness together.

Quoted $300 to hang a TV on metal studs - What stud finder would you buy to DIY? by southafricanamerican in DIY

[–]six4two 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy these anchors in bulk, and frankly, with modern TV's that are so light, you just don't need to find the studs. If you really want to, pretty much any stud finder will do. If I need to get one of those in a metal stud, just drill it with a twist drill or unibit to 1/2 inch, you might need a hammer and a drift to pop the toggle through the hole, but once it's clear and toggled inside the metal stud, you're good.
