  1. I got an Ed Fong j-pole antenna, which lives in a 3/4" diameter PVC pipe.

    Problem: How to hold it vertical and, ideally, up? (The nearby summit park, where I might deploy sometimes, has nothing to attach it to.)

    Solution: Hey, I have a nice photographic tripod!

    Problem: How to attach the antenna pole to the knobby vertical pole of the tripod?

  2. I have this 2TB external nvme usb C drive, which is great, except the aluminum housing gets very warm during extended transfers. So much so, that I end up putting some ice in a bag and sitting it on top to cool it off.

    If I don't, the transfer speeds tank below 1MBps. :fire_surprised:

    Whoa!

    1. Gotta find good use for that awl, since falsely led us all to believe that it would open any lock when we were growing up XD
    2. What's your weight loss secret? :D

  4. I could have the surf club buy a new cable or I could just jimmy in this audio cable I found in the grass...

  5. @design_law @icymi_law Watching (switching between) “Parks and Rec” and old episodes of “MacGuyver”. Hoping to maybe watch some classic Hitchcock this weekend too.

  6. I think i played too much video games… just repaired a handheld vaccuum by using 3 AA Batteries, 6 Magnets, Aluminium Foil, a bit of wire and hotmelt glue. Sounds exactly like a crafting recipe in a videogame, but it would of course not yield a functioning vacuum, but a railgun or something… #diy #macguyver #repair

  7. When tik tok teaches you things.
    Do men do this when they travel?

    Alt: Interior of a hotel door jerry-rigged with interlocked clothes hangers to prevent someone from busting in while I sleep. The peep hole is covered with a paper doilie.

  8. It's been hot in the UK lately and set to get hotter, so I've put together a rudimentary evaporative cooler using a 200mm case fan running from an old motherboard. (I had intended to use a more minimalist mains-to-molex adaptor to power it, but it looks like the one I have is broken!) #DIY #heatwave #MacGuyver
