Knots 3D is the ultimate knot-tying app for fishermen, climbers, boaters and scouters alike. With over 190 unique knots and new ones added frequently, Knots 3D makes it easy to learn even the most difficult knots in no time.
I’ve used this app for years. It’s pretty great. You can slow the animation and move forward and reverse through tricky parts of the knots. I have the Arbor Knot, the Orvis Knot favorited for fishing. I also use the Adjustable Grip Hitch for adult type stuff, it’s magic.
Chronic wasting disease, or CWD, is a type of prion disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States. It’s a neurodegenerative condition that infects wildlife, including deer. It has most recently been confirmed in deer, as well as moose in Canada, after previous cases were reported in...
IIRC, I read that it may have a longer asymptomatic period than mad cow does in humans. Which is spooky. They have been able to infect primates with it.
I’ll be getting my venison tested before we consume any.
Wish there was a DIY way to test. Looked into it a little but couldn’t find the protocol used for testing.
The majority of pumps in my area play ads. Some of the pumps can’t be muted. For those, press the top left and right buttons, then next two down, then the next two and it throws it into maintenance mode. That shuts off the speaker.
Donald Trump was supposed to have to post a $464 million bond by Monday or else the state of New York could begin collecting on the massive civil fraud judgment leveled against him earlier this year. An appeals court bailed him out, blocking collection of the judgment and giving the former president 10 days to post a drastically...
7-way kit is ETBC7 from etrailer. Breakers included are Pollak PK54230 and PK54240. These are thermal overload breakers and typical of 12V auto reset breakers. They get hot and a bimetallic strip flips up breaking the circuit.
These breakers are used instead of a fuse. That’s why I’m thinking of using manual reset.
I can just see them ticking away if there was an unattended short.
Edit: Also, the instructions on that ETBC7 kit include grounding directly to the battery. I assume, since so many people suck at electrical, that’s the safest way to ensure there is a proper ground. I’ll be making my own good ground somewhere with bare metal.
Hmm. So you strongly recommend wiring to the battery and using the auto reset breakers as the risk of brake failure is greater than an unattended short.
I’m just a jack at auto repair and electronics and haven’t dealt with trailers since I was a kid on the farm. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your experience with trailers and such?
I’m very much a RTFM guy myself. So much so that I’m getting a front plate that says RTFM. It always amazes me when people kill good equipment through lack of easy maintenance that is clear in the documentation or can’t solve a simple problem because they didn’t look at the instructions. My career is now based on my ability to implement what the instructions say (thus the plate).
I don’t always follow the instructions; but I damn well know when I’m violating them, and why, as well as assessing the risks as best I can. That’s why I’m asking: the instructions didn’t make sense to me but I’m not an electrician or automotive engineer.
I’m real picky about my truck. It has a few dents and paint chips but is pretty cherry. 190k miles. It just got a clean bill of health from a trans shop and I had them add a trans cooler. About to replace plugs, wires. Doing my own hitch install because I don’t trust most shops to drill my frame or torque correctly. Also going to try and find an oil leak. Getting a few drops a day. Hope it’s something simple.
My truck has only surface rust as it has never been on salted roads. I’ve got a 500watt amp under the seat grounded to the cab and I downgraded the fuse to 30amps because it didn’t need the 50watt or whatever it was the kit came with.
My gut says that running the ground to the battery and using an auto reset breaker are a bad idea. However, my gut can be wrong and I’ll ground to the battery and use the auto reset breakers.
We’ve been saving since 2020, saw the writing on the wall then. We’re moving this summer.
Can’t afford to leave the country but at least we can get out of the South.
It was a hard decision. All I’ve ever known. I’m going to miss a lot of things. Especially the land and water.
I feel like I’ve lost my people. I don’t trust people that look like me and talk like me. It makes me sad. It makes me angry when they think I’m like them and say hateful things about other different people.
I keep my mouth shut and we keep to ourselves as much as possible. We’ll be out of here soon.
My wife is WFH. I’ve been working on building a manufacturing consulting and CNC programming business. Want to buy a small mill, can probably make good money just picking up odd jobs. These days I call myself a manufacturing consultant, but I’m really just an aerospace machinist.
We’ve literally been planning this move since 2020 when everyone around us lost their fucking minds. We’re hoping we have enough saved to get a mortgage on a small play farm.
So I bought a small box of tap wrenches, and it had a dollar general dial caliper in it, as well as this. The guy had no idea what idea it is, and neither do i, he seemed to think it had to do something with machining...

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary on DOS and Gameboy. DOS version was superior even though my mother threw away the manual in a move. I had to figure out the system locations by randomly going to all of them.
For your old man’s sake, have a plan. Have a go-bag, include SS card and birth certificate. Try and keep your vehicle 3/4 full. Chances are, you will have time to run to a safe state on one of the coasts. Pre-plan two routes, one for back roads and the other for highways and interstates, print it out. If you can, keep a minimum of $500 on hand and more like $1-2k.
I strongly recommend a handgun, take it to the range and practice enough to be proficient loading and shooting at 7 yards. A single woman is usually welcomed at ranges. Just don’t talk politics and if anyone asks, you’ve got a bad ex-husband. The more straight you appear, the easier it will be.
Sorry for the unsolicited advice/novel. Stay safe.
