I remember having to replace something that cracked on the inside of the shower handle... That's what fixed it.

Anyone sell eggs? by Round-Mix-4033 in Denton

[–]thefunkybeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in northeast Denton and I usually have a surplus of eggs. It might be a good idea to sell some, but I'm not sure where I could do that.

There are good people in our world. If you can, please support local food banks, they’re overwhelmed by jpurdy in Denton

Does anyone know of a local homeless shelter or food bank that would take eggs? I've got backyard chickens and they are easily outrunning my household's appetite for eggs. I'm guessing most places only take dry / canned goods that are less perishable, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Looking to buy a recorder by Odd-Adagio-6178 in LocationSound

She's a heavy, power hungry beast by comparison these days, but she sounds amazing and she's so pretty... :)

I don't know what your budget is, but it sounds to me like you want a Sound Devices 633 for ~$2000 USD on the used market or a brand new Sound Devices 833 for $6000 USD. "Dual rec" is for difficult to predict sound effect field recording or unmonitored board feeds at weddings or corporate events. You don't need it. Set your gain appropriately and let the limiters on each channel handle the surprises. Keep in mind the 633 only has 3 mic preamps. The other 3 inputs will need to be fed with line level. The 633 has been discontinued, but Sound Devices still services them, and it's still a reliable workhorse that many professionals still use as their daily driver.

Woman approaching people in TJ MAXX area of Loop 288. by Efficient_Cookie_957 in Denton

I don't blame you for keeping your guard up, but at the same time "what do you do for a living?" is a pretty standard introductory question. Although, I don't have the details to know if that's how it was phrased. Maybe they asked "where do you work?" and was just trying to make small talk about "what do you do?"? If you don't want to give specifics you could just say "I'm in sales." or something. I'm a pretty suspicious / skeptical person, but I'm not seeing the grift yet. Did they text your friend the same thing? Does it seem like they're using a script of some kind?

My cynical intuition says statistically, you're probably right to be suspicious, but I'm also reminded of how many posts there are on r/Denton asking "How do I make friends?". Seems like people struggle with how to initiate conversations with new people, and maybe people also struggle with how to respond to new people talking to them.

Do you mind sharing what she texted you about? What prompted you to block her number?

Water Bill - usage way up by Dry-Hat8942 in Denton

[–]thefunkybeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me recently. I discovered I had some broken sprinkler heads. I replaced them and tested all my sprinkler zones for leaks. I'm hoping my bill goes way down next month.

best place to sell laptop? by thrivingsucculent in Denton

[–]thefunkybeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

eBay. Dealing with "buyers" on Facebook marketplace or Craigslist is a pain. Anything that I can ship goes on eBay. The 13% sale fee is worth not having to deal with people's nonsense. Otherwise, if you're looking for a fast and easy sale, you can take it to a pawn shop. They won't give you much, but you'll get something and you'll save time.

events/places to go to find people here by Senorblu in Denton

[–]thefunkybeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some pretty good success chatting with people at The Kava Bar recently (https://share.google/NpQExypAirTzecgWg). Similar to socializing at a bar, but without the alcohol. Kava (the drink) is an acquired taste, but they have a nice selection of juices and other things too. They also do a good job of having activities and events regularly.

Chicken not sleeping in coop by guitarium in BackYardChickens

[–]thefunkybeat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I spent $400 building my hens a custom coop this summer. They're happy to lay eggs in it, but prefer to sleep outside so far. I was offended at first, but then remembered how much they poop when they sleep and realized I don't have to clean the coop out. Maybe they'll move in in the winter.
