This is a longshot, but has anyone used an HDMI-to-multimode fiber connector? They're usually in a transmitter/receiver set. I need one for work, and it's hard to figure out what's good, and what's just drop-shipped garbage.

Vegetable posted:I have extremely wide feet, complete with bunions due to garbage genes, and went through a whole process of trying, shopping and returning in recent weeks. I guess the question should be "how wide?" I have a 14EEEEEE foot, which is, from what I've been able to find, the widest commercially-manufactured shoes that exist (I recognize that this is well outside two standard deviations from the mean). I've never seen a company outside of New Balance or Hush Puppy make them, most companies that have an "extra wide" is usually EEEE. Anything that doesn't have a reputation for wide shoes doesn't come close.

Give me your favorite shower curtain hooks or rings or loops that fit a 1.5" diameter shower rod.

DrBouvenstein posted:I have ones that are basically exactly like this: These only fit 1" rods. My issue is that as far as I can tell, there is basically one or two manufacturers of shower curtain hooks/rings/loops, and they only make them to fit 1" shower rods. I find the same holders under all sorts of different brands, but Home Depot, Target, and Lowes all carry the same ones with different branding, and they're all made to fit 1" rods, as far as I can tell. I cannot imagine my house has the only 1.5" shower rod in the world, but I am starting to believe.

DrBouvenstein posted:OH. Huh. Weird. I'm honestly leaning towards that, but it feels like a really stupid reason to replace a shower rod. The mounts are fitted to a 1.5" rod, too, and screwed to the wall (it's not a tension rod), so I'd have to pull those, too.

I recently bought a house, and my housemates have a cat, and the cat likes to hang out on my window with it open. Is there a good cat bed for that? The sill is about four inches wide, I don't want one that hangs off the window since he likes it to be open (I also like it to be open). So you can see what I'm talking about :

Wayfair? i guess i would consider local chains as well. (think furniture like desks/lamps/kitchen) Craigslist, Nextdoor, and estate sales are where I've been getting furniture.

Probably cross-post this, but is there a good way to get temporary internet? Our fiber is down, and there's a tech out tomorrow, but if there's an option to get things up before the weekend (even if it were just 4G or something), that would be great. South Seattle, if it matters. I checked out Verizon home internet and Google Fiber Webpass, and neither of those are available at my address.

Warbird posted:Does anyone have (or better yet know someone personally that makes them) a good vendor for a leather bag? One of the more medieval deals with a drawstring. I was doing some cleaning up and found my old set of tabletop dice in the prerequisite Crown bag (Green) and thought it would be nice to toss them into something a hair less "a Crown Royal bag" before putting them away and forgetting about them. I've gotten my last couple of dice bags at cons. There are usually at least a couple of leather workers in the vendor section.

Probably 12-15 years ago, I bought a Timbuk2 messenger bag with the intention that it'd be large enough to easily hold my shoes if I needed it to, which meant I got the large. I have Goon proportions, so it didn't look completely ridiculous, and while I didn't need it for my shoes as often as I thought I would, it was very nice for doing things like holding three fifths of liquor from a liquor store trip (the liquor store I like is a bit of a schlep, and I didn't own a car for most of that time) or a twelve-pack of spicy water from the grocery store. A couple of weeks ago, it finally gave up the ghost, where one of the straps tore off the bag. In addition, the interior lining has been flaking off for a couple of years now, and it's just shabby as hell (my mother hates it when I visit). What's the new hotness for bigass bags? Definitely wouldn't object to another Timbuk2, but I might go with the backpack instead of the messenger bag now. I'd like something that can comfortably hold a laptop when necessary, and the straps definitely need to be beefy enough to easily hold 10-20 pounds, maybe a bit more than that. I use the thing at work and take it with me most places I go, and I live in Seattle so being relatively waterproof is pretty much mandatory (the Timbuk2 was great for this). I'mma cross-post this to the bag thread, too.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for board game bowls? Like, bowls you can break out to hold board game pieces? I'm thinking ideal would be like a set of 12, in like three different sizes. My housemates are eventually going to get tired of me bogarting the sauce bowls.

Warbird posted:To that end, does anyone know of a crown royal-ish sized leather(ish) sack I can toss my dice inside? Etsy and ebay have tons but they're all gaudy overpriced drop shipped nonsense. I just want a plain sack and drawstring. A lot of crafts people used to sell hand made dice bags at cons back in the day at really reasonable prices.
