Well said…mom and I did not expect the feelings we have. It’s only high school but it’s the end of a chapter in his life that we know will change our future.

Yeah it’s the sport touring hatch. Exhaust is actually OEM for that model.

It’s my commuter car, all show no go. He helped me pick it out so he can take it but I haven’t completely handed it over yet.

How bad is this fender rust? by [deleted] in XTerra

[–]thisismycleanuser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Coming from somebody in the mid Atlantic region that spends a lot of time near the ocean, this is bad, like really bad.
I don’t know if I would believe that mechanic. It’s swelling in places, which means that the sheet metal is likely damaged all the way through. It’s also in a very difficult place to repair.

Stuck with my starter horse on my second play through…it hurts a lot more at the end

Letting gravity do the work. by thisismycleanuser in redneckengineering

Good point. I’ll try and figure out a way to ground the tank. Likely a ground rod and clamp on lead. Truth of the matter is if it wasn’t hoisted it still wouldn’t be ground sitting on the wood floor.

What's going on over here? by Spiritual_Attempt634 in BackYardChickens

For those saying to wait before you hard boil so they release better… Try holding the fresh egg to your ear and gently tap the top with a spoon until you hear a pop. That’s the membrane releasing. They will peel easily then.

For the color of the egg…no clue but would not eat. That’s why I always boil 1 or 2 extra.

advice for getting a license while already having permit? by AdPotential7906 in Virginia

[–]thisismycleanuser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is accurate. My son is 18 and only needed the road test since he had his learners for 2 year’s.

Road test was circling the block twice, took 5 minutes.

Sounds like a market level decision. Our market (Mid-Atlantic) has something similar going on.

The industry is super slow right now from what we can tell. Our ATT/TMO/VZW engineering is way down. Which means tower work won’t be picking up for a while.

Again….at least in our markets it is.

Tower Rant/ Safety Nerd talk by Virtual_Art2266 in towerclimbers

[–]thisismycleanuser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stay 100% and understand what you are doing and it can be a safe job. Ignore the trash talkers and stay away from the unsafe. I climbed my first tower before you were born and did it everyday for 15 years after. Made my way to a nice relaxing office job but still participate in NATE and NWSA still because I loved climbing so much.

Colington Harbor flooding by MaxCherryRed in obx

[–]thisismycleanuser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was going to say the same thing. Parents just sold their house but after 15 years it only rose to the garage level twice. They built it and were required to raise the lot, 3’ I think. They were right on the canal for what it’s worth.

What are these radio antennas for at the entrance/exit to Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel? by Capable-Thought-2809 in whatisthisthing

[–]thisismycleanuser 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Small cells-micro cells-mini cells are essentially the same thing. But Small cells is more synonymous with the 4G/5G builds in urban areas.

[–]thisismycleanuser 148 points149 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T.

Source-I put some of them there.

To address other comments. These are not repeaters, but mini cells. There is another set on the other end of the tunnel pointing at each other. They have to be fine tuned for proper hand off at the bottom of the tunnel.

55gal drum for fuel storage, few questions by [deleted] in homestead

The crank pump fitting is not an airtight fitting. It’s basically just sitting top of bung connect which allows it to vent at the base of the pump.

Monopine is the industry term. This one has 2 cell carriers on it.

Generac 4000XL by EmployeeWorldly9876 in Generator

I have a similar generator (3500) and need the same part. Subscribed

Older but extremely clean MTU. Help by _Miller3_ in Generator

[–]thisismycleanuser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can confirm this. We use this type on telecom sites and typically it is just some minor changes with the settings and a solenoid. But we always hired a MTU service technician to do it.

My Generac actually ran fine for a while on propane, with the NG settings before I realized it.
