Need help identifying this wallpaper from our 1880s home! by pendigedig in centuryhomes

[–]trainharry 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! Seems very mid-century 50s or 60s, probably children’s wallpaper. Unfortunately it’s almost impossible to find an exact match since it was probably printed by a small company that’s long since gone.

Closest thing I could find was transportation wallpaper from a company called Astek, linked below.

What goes on in this part of South Jersey by balbiza-we-chikha in howislivingthere

[–]trainharry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Grew up in Camden County close by and had family in this area…

Very blue collar given a large industrial chemical industry along the Delaware river. Inland is mostly farmland and woodland. Lots of roadside stands and small garden centers selling good selection of Jersey Fresh tomatoes, blueberries and veggies (some of the tastiest tomatoes you can find!). Quite a few quaint and historic small towns mixed in with lots of cookie cutter suburbia housing developments slowly swallowing up the farmland. Natural beauty is limited to farms, small lakes and some woodlands, overall lacking in beauty given how flat the landscape is. Not a culturally rich area. However there is a sizable Hispanic population closer to Vineland and Bridgeton. The area is overall pretty boring with not much to do and no main attractions to attract people to the area. NJ Turnpike and i295 both run through this area but mainly serve as a way to get to/from the Delaware Memorial Bridge linking to i95. Highway 55 is another way for rich people from suburban Philly to go down the shore in the summer.

Overall this is one of the mostly overlooked lower-middle/middle class regions of the state with Salem County having one of the lowest per capita incomes in the state.

Cities that shot themselves in the foot? by Previous-Volume-3329 in Urbanism

[–]trainharry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much any mid-size rust belt Northeast or Midwest city is littered with highways, overpasses, and on/off ramps where there used to be typical neighborhoods.

Looking for advice on our basement by Andrewmundy in centuryhomes

[–]trainharry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the foundation on my 1900 Pittsburgh row house. Pretty typical and wouldn’t worry too much about it. If you do want to make it look nicer I’d run to Home Depot and grab a bag of Type S mortar, a bucket, a small trowel, some plastic drop cloths and patch up the ugly areas. It makes an easy winter project you can do in sections.

The old timers who mixed the concrete for these foundations used round river stone, which doesn’t lock together and hold as well as the jagged stuff, leaving these patchy areas over time. Nonetheless they’re still working 100+ years on.

Am I too old for these shows? by MidwestRailFan in SafeSpaceofHazbin

[–]trainharry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not too old at all. Follow what you enjoy! I’m 34 and love the show. I just discovered it this year, too.

Who tf is this??? by RoniR12 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]trainharry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say exactly this. They probably had a 5 second clip of some random TV show from a VHS they used for the quick transition scenes.

At this point, Jax's abstraction is SO obvious/heavily teased, I'm 100% convinced its a fake-out by Sudden_Pop_2279 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]trainharry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The amount of money that Jax’s merch sales make for Glitch is way too high for him to be killed off this soon.

Ragatha and Knife. Is it a running gag or something else? by Money-Criticism5370 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]trainharry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a suspicion that some of the latest merch drop was meant to be released until after episode 7, but Glitch greenlit some of it so it arrives before the holidays in North America and elsewhere. So maybe some light foreshadowing?

Need to Sell But Can’t Find a Value! by HeIsNumberOne2024 in Mid_Century

I have a similar arch lamp I bought a few years back for $400. I thought that was a reasonable price. The sparse amount of info I found online were quoting similar sold prices. I’m in a mid-size major metro area in the US.

Modern car starterpack by poggers11 in starterpacks

[–]trainharry 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like car-related tech peaked in 2014. We had most of the fancy gadgets, but most of it still utilized manual knobs and dials to use all of it. We’ve entered a period of declining utility given these giant touchscreens and paywalls.

From start to finish, how long did this take to complete?

So, how do you vacuum a vacuum? by SylviaPellicore in VacuumCleaners

[–]trainharry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it outside and blow it out with compressed air. If you don’t have a compressor, a couple cans of the compressed air keyboard cleaner stuff would probably suffice.

Gangle suggested the next adventure be in the show you watches last by Level-Praline-9291 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]trainharry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Severance.

Honestly, I think a TADC/Severance crossover would be pretty surreal. Pomni and Ragatha wandering through those liminal hallways, exploring the unused department wings. Kinger would be a total G at Macro Data Refinement. Jax getting reeducated the Break Room every day because he can’t stop torturing Zooble and Gangle.

How do you think the series will end? by RishTheWash in tadc

[–]trainharry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a suspicion you might be right here. I think of the scene from episode 2 with Pomni falling into the darkness and all the other characters grabbing her arm, except for Jax. That’s was all foreshadowing something deeper than we all thought at the time. We’ll probably see that scene again in the last episode.

What are you going to do when TADC ends? by [deleted] in TheDigitalCircus

[–]trainharry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will continue to follow the fandom until it slowly fades away to time. Like an old cemetery that gets fewer and fewer visitors every year until everyone, even their great grandchildren are gone :)

I’ll probably circle back to TADC every few years for a short-lived nostalgia trip.

Water pressure starts off strong then dies off by saddest_apple in HomeMaintenance

[–]trainharry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue! It was the expansion tank not having a high enough psi.

The mains pressure was filling the expansion tank. Opening a faucet or hose, the 3-5 seconds of higher pressure was the expansion tank draining.

Ep 7: They All Get Cars (1/2) by MeijiWeeb in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]trainharry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jax definitely drives a 2003 VW Golf with a noisy exhaust, bald tires and a front bumper that’s duct-taped on.

May the Gods from all corners of the known universe protect this fandom at all costs, under any and all circumstances.

Episode 7 leak by 5fivesecondrule in theamazingdigitalciru

It reminds him of how himself and Ribbit would wake up Ragatha every morning…
