Fatberg was the result of clueless people who feel when it leaves their sight, it's not their problem anymore.

glatts pipe looks yucky, but it's just rust and dirt that blocks flow and migrates until it gets to fixture workings or strainers. But it's not germ and disease bearing like sewage, and you could swallow it without killing yourself. Usually it's the stuff you can't see that's harmful.

A little rust never hurt nobody. Ask any 70s Chevy pick-up.

Glinda · 09-19-2017, 10:10 PM

Zing!

Am I nesting? Even I question the need to do this, but I replaced the garbage disposal gasket. The old one was cracked in 4 or 5 places. My wife had mentioned that it was too bad a new garbage disposal was a little bit expensive and it wasn't worth getting a new one just because the gasket was getting nasty. So I knew you could just replace the gasket. And it was only about half the work of installing a whole new disposal because you can leave the dishwasher and electric still connected as you replace the gasket.

I have a vague memory from possibly seven or eight years back that some of us thought it would be interesting if we shot stills or even video of our daily commutes. Apparently, we felt it might share a little bit of our daily realities. Why we ever thought this was a good idea escapes me, but I remember it was the case.

Well, technology has advanced and gotten cheaper since then, and so I am now able to bring you this: a 360 degree spherical 4k video of my commute home from work yesterday. You're welcome. Do not attempt to enjoy unless you have unlimited and pretty snappy bandwidth.

I live in rural PA. We wouldn't want high speed internet, apparently.

I've been researching rural "broadband" for my son, who lives in the sprawling metropolis of Rich Hill, MO. Despite living within 100' of a major North/South Interstate highway, his options are shitty, shittier, and shittiest. At best, he can get a 25mbps satellite pipe at $80/month with a 12gb monthly data cap, which gets throttled to 1 mbps if you go over it. Cost? $85 after taxes. Sucks. Every other option is slower and more expensive and requires a phone line because it is all DSL.

glatt · 10-26-2017, 07:25 PM

Hmm. The 360 wrapping doesn't work, at least on my iPhone.

Elspode · 10-26-2017, 08:10 PM

Odd...now I have to try it on mine...it certainly is displaying as 360 when I play it via this link or directly on YouTube.

Elspode · 10-26-2017, 08:12 PM

I was able to play it properly via the YouTube app on my iPhone. Pull up that app and Search "elspode". It should be available there.

Or don't waste your time. It is a novelty at best.

glatt · 10-26-2017, 08:15 PM

Works for me in youtube. Cool!

Must be a tapatalk thing.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-26-2017, 09:37 PM

Both here, and on youtube, I have to use the direction arrows in the circle at the upper left hand corner to move the direction of the camera. Sure is flat.

Gravdigr · 10-27-2017, 12:28 PM

Works for me, too. Click, hold, 'n' drag. Really cool, 'Spode.

I like.

I wonder, if'n I save the vid, would the 360 degree part work on a PS3?
