What did you crush it with, and why would you waste a perfectly good milk shake?

He crushed it between two biscuits with a handful of bacon and shoved it down his throat and directly into his stomach.

The resulting awesome was about to go critical so he had to burn it off by running 6 miles in two minuets.

Nailed it.
 
Glad to hear the kitchen knife got there OK. It seems to be holding up pretty well. Design concerns will be addressed in the next run...

I would be willing to bet money that it is not your modem or any of the "nodes." In my experience as both a customer of DSL and cable-modem services, and a provider of services (in several assignments with the Army, to include service for the entire European and Pacific theaters), it is a physical cable (telephone if DSL or coax if cable modem) problem over 90% of the time. With cable systems, the repeaters and other interface equipment could also be causing the issue. Telephone/DSL interface devices do seem more reliable in my experience than cable systems, but cable companies are used to replacing burnt out transmission gear (at least here in Texas because of all the thunder storms). For an intermittent problem, it is most likely an intermittent short or open on the wire/cable somewhere between your place and the provider's local facility.

WW - look for chewed wires in your basement and/or attic.

For an intermittent cable TV or INet problems, I ALWAYS think squirrels and rats. Every time we had cable issues at our Volunteer Fire Station or have had them at home, the problem was 1) Squirrel/rat chewed through the wires or 2) Squirrel/rat chewed into the wires, which allowed for rain intrusion. I use the term squirrel/rat because several times we found both types DRT from electrocution after the varmint chewed through a 110/220/440VAC line.

Totally dead issues were caused by other problems.

I have checked the cable lines going from the modem all the way out of the house. Unless there is a short inside the line itself all appears normal.

But they called me back and said there was an area wide problem (Thats what i tried telling them in the first place) and it should now be fixed... The tech never even came here... Of course there is no way for me to know what the problem was or if it was really fixed... But time will tell.
 
Slow day, yes it is.

My flashlight is coming today though, complete with tactical tail switch, so thats nice :D
 
I'm trying to explain to my mother I'm not her personal Web guru/IT guy... There is stuff she is perfectly capable to do with out me doing it for her. Like listing stuff on Craigslist. There is no need whatsoflippinever for me to have to do it. It's pretty much so any inbred redneck hillbilly mouth breather with an internet connection can do it. Of course she says she doesn't know what to do and just bitches till I do it.

She also hasn't mailed the cable box back cause "she didn't know which one it was so she just left it" for me to do.
 
In on snark...

After being perpetually behind at work for about 3 years now, the powers that be decided to hire a 2nd tech. In the end they hired a long time friend of mine and I have been training him for a couple weeks now. It is so nice to start to get caught up after years of being over a month behind on turn around times.

Have not had any time for snarkage for a while now, but hope everything is going great for all snarkers...

Congrats to Dex, looking forward to checking out your website!
 
Was a bad day but it became a Good one
I just picked a bk5 off the exchange also noticed it's the 5th so getting a 5 on 5 is a cool coincidence.
Next one when I can afford it will be a 4..:)
 
Well the other night I started looking at "patch" knives and stuff and the idea kinda took off with me. As I have shown yall before I made a little ugly blade using an old saw blade that somehow came out with good edge retention with a homebrew type heat treat. So I had a little scrap of that stuff left, knew I could get decent performance out of it so I made a little patch knife. I just "free handed and ground" the profile out, thinned the material at the blade even more, heat treated, aged, handled, and sharpened. All in all its ugly lol but it cuts like a straight razor, and it was something fun to do as a little quick project to test out an idea I had. Have to say the pictures make it look worse than it is, but it wasnt meant to be pretty just something fun to do lol.



The handles are made of 3/8" rubber stall mat, affixed with steel pins and epoxy. I had an idea of treating the stall mat with epoxy before putting it on the knife which was kinda interesting to do. After that I machine buffed them with black then white compound. 2.75" or so blade, 6.25" overall.

While i was in Tennessee this past week we went by an antique shore where I picked up this beauty for $25, all it says is anchor brand/plumb, don't know much about it but I do know that plumb is a decent brand.

Also to make myself feel better about going back to school I decided to treat myself

Thanks! I tried to get a pic of how thin the spine of the blade is. I figured if I was going to make a small thin knife I might as well make it as thin as possible. Its probably 25%+ or so percent thinner than the already thin saw blade.
