Top products from r/triangle

OP, I had the exact same concerns about sharpening my own knives. I have great hand eye coordination and can definitely be very delicate with my hands, but I know I'm still going to struggle to hold the proper angle with a flat stone line like that. Takes a lot of practice to get good and consistent at that sharpening motion.

Solution: I bought a Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker from Amazon. What this style of product does is handle the angle work for you by design, offers a 30 degree and 40 degree edge. You simply take the triangular stones and slide them into the base so that they make a "v" shape, and then you sharpen the blade by keeping it verticle and dragging it towards yourself across the stones, alternating between sides stroke by stroke.

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2DDpB8Pjho

I really can't recommend this product enough. Although, to anyone who is interested, I found that I got the best results when I purchased an additional set of triangle stones that are the "ultra fine" grit. All told I think I spent $70 and now I don't have to focus on maintaining the exact angle with a whetstone.

This is exactly what you are NOT looking for but I'll say it anyway... just to hear myself talk:

I just bought a Whetstone from amazon and am amazed how easy it is with the right equipment. I was using a diamond stone and gave up. This was cheap and I get a perfect edge in minutes. The edge lasts longer than using the diamond. Don't forget to use a steel everytime you use the knife anyway.

Thanks for sharing this!

In a similar vein, this book talks specifically about the Republican plan to control all state legislatures through systematic redistricting starting in 2008. They've been immensely successful in their plan, called REDMAP. (yes - REDMAP - Redistricting Majority Project)

The Amazon excerpts of the introduction give a good sense of the book, then a state by state breakdown of their actions starting in 2008. Wake County libraries have this book - I'd recommend it.

Exercise and sunlight can work wonders! (And Vitamin D if you can't get outside.)

OP, you may want to check out 'The Mood Cure' by Julia Ross. Excellent advice regarding neurotransmitter imbalances and how these can be corrected through diet and simple amino acid supplements. Sometimes it really is just about chemistry.

Good luck!

The only way I know to do an external GPU is through a thunderbolt 3 connector which I have not yet seen built in to a desktop motherboard. You would need something like this to get the thunderbolt 3 port and then something like this to plug into it. I assume you have a full ATX motherboard and not a micro ATX. A case like this one would probably be a good option and keep your GPU internal. Cases that size always have some restrictions though like GPU height and CPU cooler height.

This is the one I bought. It's my first one, but it has great quality video. I was nervous when I bought it because it comes from China and takes about a week to ship. But the quality is great and I've been using it for a year without any issues.

This is not something with me and my friends- I doubt I will know more than 10 people there. We are not protesting the NYPD, we are protesting how police are used in this country.

My first introduction was through this book http://www.amazon.com/Lockdown-America-Police-Prisons-Crisis/dp/1844672492
I figure it's still a good start and talks about the police here in NC too. For a better understanding of social movements and strategy I would check out http://www.amazon.com/Ive-Got-Light-Freedom-Mississippi/dp/0520251768/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417723926&sr=1-1&keywords=I%27ve+got+the+light+of+freedom.

It seems like you don't care if protest is effective, you just don't want to have to deal with it?

Seconding Fred's Beds, I got mine from there and it was good.

Alternatively, a friend got this mattress (http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Innovations-SureTemp-Mattress-Warranty/dp/B003CT37L0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367893010&sr=8-1&keywords=foam+mattress) from amazon and she really likes it. I think it's weird to buy a mattress before trying it, but her argument was 5 minutes of sitting on a mattress in the store vs hundreds of amazon reviews may give the amazon reviews an advantage over a quick judgement in a store. So maybe try online too?

I went to Best Buy about 10 years ago, and bo9ught every blender they had, and had a test of which could crush ice. Then I brought back all the others. :)

Right now, I would get this one.

https://www.amazon.com/Originial-TEDCO-Gyroscope-Twin-Pak/dp/B000FGKHZ2 pretty good, and at a low price.

Basically, he's saying to buy some ethernet testers ( http://www.amazon.com/HDE-HDE-H11-Network-Cable-Tester/dp/B000P1OA1O/ref=pd_cp_pc_0 ) and plug one end into the wall in one room, and go around the house testing all the other outlets to see where that outlet is connected. If you're never able to get a connection from one port to another, you likely have a cable problem and would need to have it re-run. Otherwise, you may have great cabling but just need to know how it's laid out.

As far as the coax, it appears to be possible, based on a quick google search, but looks like it might be a bit of work.

You want a VHF/UHF designed antenna. WTVD/ABC is on VHF-Hi. Most leaf/flat style antennas aren't designed for VHF. Use TV Fool to determine your optimal direction. The optimal location indoors will be in a window. Post you TV Fool report to /r/OTA if you have further questions.

VHF/UHF designed antennas:

• rabbit ears + loop (RCA ANT111F or amplified RCA310F)
  
• Winegard FlatWave (Home Depot, amplified version available online)
  
• Winegard FreeVision (Home Depot)
  
• Winegard HD-1080/Xtreme Signal HD1080x
  
• Channel Master STEALTHtenna
  
• RCA ANT751
  
• Winegard HD7000R
  
• 1byone OUS00-0557
  
• GE Pro Outdoor Yagi Antenna (Walmart)
  
• Antennas Direct Element
  
• Winegard HD7694P
  
• Winegard HD7698P
  
• Distribution amplifier
  
• Optional preamp: Winegard LNA-100 (indoor), LNA-200, or RCATVPRAMP1R (outdoor)
  
  Be careful using an amplified antenna when you have strong signals (>50NM dB) or using an outdoor antenna. An amplified signal could overload your TV's tuner and cause reception issues. Unfortunately trial and error may be required at some locations.
  
  See this post for more information on connecting an antenna using existing unused coax cables and sharing a single indoor/outdoor/attic antenna between multiple TVs/DVRs. The same applies to satellite coax cable runs or sharing an antenna in another room. Only difference is where you're mounting/connecting your antenna. This is something you can do yourself if the cables are within easy reach, but you can also hire a satellite installer who is willing to install antennas.

I've got 35c studded tires - they worked OK for me. I didn't fall, although it felt kind of sketchy at times.

Big thing is traffic. Very few cars were out and about. When I did get near one I just pulled over, since I don't trust drivers on this stuff. That car at the light is the only one I saw moving on the road for like 5 minutes.

I saw a guy out there with a fat bike, he was killing it. But I can't see buying a fat bike to ride in the like 2 days a year we get snow.

Yup, I second that for roaches. I haven't used it personally but I've heard a lot of folks talk about it. After using the gel bait, I'd also suggest this. Grab a one gallon sprayer from Lowe's or Home Depot and you're set. I use the one ounce per gallon of water mixture and spray the outside of my house every couple of months. Shout out to /u/bagodees for suggesting both in a similar thread.

All I have is the TG1672 That was provided when TWC installed. Should I also get a router?

Everything had been going well until last week or so. It is bizarre.

/u/bagodees posted this info (in respect to roaches at least) a long time ago and it has worked wonders for me:

They are much worse at apartment/townhouse condos since there are so many people and so many connected units all in one building. Here's the deal: when you see one, it's got at least 47 buddies that are behind you laughing at you because you can only actually see the guy that's running in the spotlight. The traps and sprays you get at the local stores don't work, and actually make the roaches worse because that's how those pesticide companies make money. The same deal goes for the pest guys that the apt management contracts with - if all the pests disappear, then their business dries up.
That said, there's hope for you. I have found that the only stuff that works are these two products:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ACMKV8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage
and
http://www.amazon.com/Advion-Cockroach-Gel-Bait-4-syringes/dp/B002Y2GNVM/ref=pd_sim_328_20?ie=UTF8&refRID=0GTNZZ7FKR4006TZM0TM
You can get a standard 1 gallon sprayer at Home Depot for the Cy-Kick CS. Spray that shit around your problem areas. The gel bait is for if your problem is really bad - place those in the same areas until you don't see anymore roaches.
These products are highly toxic, but they do work. Just make sure you follow the instructions, wear protective equipment when applying the pesticides, and keep your pets away from treated areas.

Title | How to use the Spyderco Sharpmaker - easy knife sharpening for beginners
Description | The Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker can be found for about $50-60 and offers a simple, convenient way to sharpen an edge at either 30 or 40 degree angle. It uses ceramic rods that are arranged in a V-shape position so that all you need to do is to keep the edge pointed down. A simply whetstone is of course a cheaper alternative for knife sharpening but it requires a lot of practice to get the angle right consistently. Where to find it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q9C4AE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=...

I have a new in the box All American double capacity 930 pressure canner and Eastman Outdoor Cooking set , also new in the box, (ie. Outdoor LP burner to fire the oversized pressure canner on, plus fish/turkey cooker pots) + (3) cases of (12) new quart jars, (1) case (12) pint jars, lids, blocks of wax, book Complete Book of Home Preserving, possibly other related books and a box of previously used canning jars. If needed, I could throw in a used LP replacement tank for an extra $25. I'm thinking $300 for everything less LP tank or $325 for everything plus LP tank delivered in Orange or Durham counties. PM me email address, and I'll attempt to send photos.
