Cheap option: Put wood glue between the leg and those 2 boards and use clamps or a ratchet strap to hold it square utill it dries. Then cut down a piece of 2x4 (or whatever you have) to fit in the corner, and glue that in. Once dried, it should be as sturdy as the original hardware. With the downside of it being a permanent attachment.

Why do you personally believe in your religion?

seathru @lemmy.sdf.org 5mo ago

Either smart men from all over are running the same scam — or there are common bits of wisdom in most religions and there may be something to that.

Or C: There was an original scam that not so original humans copied over and over through the years.

Absolutely despise it. I'm with her. I run a business that is mostly selling my time/expertise. If they don't value that to the extent I do, they can kick rocks.

I snaked the bathtub drain

Mine loves it. If you don't actively lock him out, he'll be in there playing in the water. He'll crawl in and stand in the shower with you. And then proceed to make a mess everywhere if you don't catch him quick enough to dry him off with a towel. He's a decent plumber tho.

Reuse old security system

Jump

seathru @lemmy.sdf.org 5mo ago

Is the landline just for having a company monitor stuff? Should it still work locally just to like set off an alarm if the door open or motion is detected when the system is active?

Yeah, it's just for remote monitoring. But if it's not connected, it will probably always show communication errors on the panel above. Sometimes you can get away with using a telephone line emulator like a Magic Jack (sometimes not, it's hit or miss).

I rented a place that had a slightly newer honeywell/ademco system (that was no longer in use) and was able to get it running locally with a Magic Jack. I programmed my cell as the monitoring company. So if it went off, I would get a call from that # and know it was an alarm. The downside to that was it keep calling over, and over, and over. Making it difficult for you to call the police (found that out the hard way).

Jump

seathru @lemmy.sdf.org 5mo ago

That looks like an old Ademco system. There will be a main panel somewhere, probably in a closet in a metal box that may or may not be locked. Typically near an outlet with a wall wart power supply.

Get the model numbers from the main panel and the keypad and you should be able to find manuals that will do into detail about all the possible features. These old units required a wired land line for reporting to work, so you might have to get creative for that.

Fascist paramilitary invaders use an AR15 muzzle to smash a car window and abduct 2 women (US Citizens) for allegedly honking their car horns to warn the community. (Charlotte, NC 11/18/25)

Jump

seathru @lemmy.sdf.org 6mo ago

Gun person, and you're correct; incredibly reckless. For the most part, AR platform weapons are drop safe (meaning an impact will not set it off). But depending on factors such as brand, firing pin material, or cartridge primer hardness, an impact to the end of the muzzle can cause a discharge.

Pretty unlikely, but extremely unsafe. No one with real training would do this. These are deputized dumbasses.

I guess that's a kind way of saying "turned into stew".

The result is a quantity of green-brown tinted liquid (containing amino acids, peptides, sugars and salts) and soft, porous white bone remains (calcium phosphate) easily crushed in the hand

You can use ublock origin filters. It's not perfect but definitely thins them out.

Tesla shareholders approve Elon Musk's US$1 trillion pay package

The board of directors that designed the pay package require him to hit several ambitious financial and operational targets, including increasing the value of the company on the stock market nearly six times its current level.Musk also has to deliver 20 million Tesla electric vehicles to the market over 10 years

This is just like telling your idiot kid "If you get all A's, we can go to disneyland". It'll shut them up for a while and you know it's a safe bet you won't ever have to pay out.
