Counter offer to just get fat, and your current pants will get tight. You don't even need to change your wardrobe. Problem solved!

Update on the banquette:

The wood stuff is all done, painted, assembled. the "extension cords" are wired in. The cat has put hair on it. I guess that means it's complete. There's a few paint voids under the wall trim, but whatever. I'm going to put custom cushions on it when I get some time to go to the fabric store and order some foam.

Ta friggin da.

So i'm trying to open a port to my home server..

I've opened 4 ports to my server,
port 21010 for plex which when tested on https://www.canyouseeme.org/ it shows open.
port 8120 for the steam server, 2 for space engineers. 31055 and 31056 When i check the 3 game ones all are closed. The router is open. When I open a port through utorrent (same port as the already opened say 31055) the port then shows open on canyouseeme so the router has to be open. I've tried opening the port say 31055 through the firewall and no luck. I've even tried shutting the firewall down and again no luck. Win 10 pro Ideas?

You can't copy-n-paste URLs from your Google account into the forum. You see pictures, we see broken image links.

If you paste the image itself, yes.

If you paste the URL of an image which is publicly accessible, then yes.

If you paste a URL which cannot be resolved by a machine which is not logged into Google as you (which is pretty much every machine in the universe other than yours), then no.

But do you see the shortest little rainbow that was only about 10 feet high?

Had my PAT/MAT and interview for Monroe County Fire Rescue about two weeks ago. Didn't get a call for the first round (nepotism beats all), but they had someone resign last week, so I am taking the vacancy.

I have a bunch of medical tests and paperwork coming up in the next two weeks. Supposed start date is July 8th. 3-4 weeks at the academy to get us ready to go on shift.

Congrats on that. Other than being a 1970s Czechoslovakian animated TV show, I have no idea what Pat & Mat are, but I assume that it has something to do with making people not die, which is generally a good thing.




In unrelated news:

If you're like me, you're frustrated by the lack of availability of 8 bit IDE hard-drive controllers for 1980s vintage ISA-architecture (PC / XT / AT) class computers, and wish that someone would make and sell a bare printed circuit board which allows you to assemble your own, presuming that you're able to track down all of the requisite 1980s vintage integrated circuits

If that sounds familiar, your prayers have been answered:

Honestly, some of the projects that people come up with just astound me...

Bah, revisionist history. That's like putting an LS into a 60s Chevelle -- an XT or AT is supposed to have an MFM drive. (PCs didn't have hard drives at all)

So does this mean for sure that you will be in the upcoming years Key West FireMan Calendar? Checking for a friend.

I was getting a code 6 for the steering wheel airbag, so I thoroughly checked the wiring and found out my clock spring had gone bad.
Things get old, that's OK. I replaced it, code went away.

Code 6 came back after about a year...
Well, I had bought an aftermarket clock spring, so I just thought it did not last as long as the OEM unit, and bought one more.
Code 6 went away once I installed the third clock spring...

It came back in one month.

It happened pretty much in the same exact manner every time.
First, the airbag light would blink a couple times whenever I would make hard left turns. I would turn the wheel to the right and the light would stop.
A couple days later, the light would be a permanent item. Dreaded code 6 as I drove along...

Today I pulled the steering wheel apart and repeated every single test I can think of.
Yep, bad clock spring.

In a moment of flash, I proceeded to remove the metal shorting tabs inside the connectors and reinstalled the "bad" clock spring.
No more blinking lights.

I really have no explanation for how it worked, but the system self checks and the damn light stays off now.

Chalk one up to mystery repairs, I guess.

Also,

I DID use a voltmeter to check resistance on the air bag, it did not go off.

I DID cut the airbag wires and soldered them back together, it did not go off.

Just saying.

On my morning commute, I got passed by not one, but TWO McLaren's!

I’d have pics, but didn’t want to get caught by IL’s new ‘blink-in-the-wrong-direction-and-we’ll-ticket-you’ laws.
