Yeah it could be considered a gel. It feels like wax. What you're saying makes a lot of sense.

Or you're an introverted realist and can't really be "fixed" at all

I've owned the place for a while and every now and then I'd notice the terminal blocks he had connected the wires to. It was also pretty cool that they used the same color conventions all those years ago. It encouraged me to look into the history of Ethernet wiring as well.

The waxy stuff is part of how they manufactured the wire and works its way out over time.

 

The previous owner worked for the phone company and had run some sort of 10 conductor shielded cable under the yard to the shed 40 years ago. The pairs weren't twisted but I threw some RJ45 ends on there and did a quick test - it worked. After I finished the runs and now I have a PoE+ camera on my shed. I am pleased with the result.

I can't even get acrobat to be stable enough to view simple documents at work, this is a monumental feat.

Wired's YouTube channel has a fun video with a trauma surgeon discussing all of the injuries from the first 2 home alones.

A while back a few of us at work erected a festivus pole in a separate area and had the airing of grievances. It was somewhat therapeutic and boosted morale.

I appreciate this ornament. I'm curious what method you used to raise it as I'm not knowledgeable in sailboats. Is there a pulley on the rope or did you use a long pole?

Gamers Nexus has a great video about Gordon that's worth a watch.

Sometimes I like to stare into space while he does his business. This is especially true if the moon is bright or it's warm weather. There is often peace in the back yard in spite of traffic sounds and light pollution.
