What You've Just Bought!

[Spud1200]

A lot of years ago I tried a pipe and at the time I did actually enjoy it. This was when I started out smoking tobacco at the age of 17. You had to be 16 at the time of being legally allowed to smoke here in the UK. Now its 18 . I bought this pipe because I've wanted to try it for a while and now the parcels only a few hours away I'm sitting here twitching like f in anticipation .

I found a sight for a company based in the south that are specialists in tobacco and ship all over the UK or at least GB from what I can tell. When I was looking threw their products, I'm like WTF man, lol. Chewing tobacco, and can you believe it even snuff. That alone blew my mind . I kid you not, I've got two tobacco trays filled with all sorts of stuff like my products ect.

Here is the site: https://www.smoke-king.co.uk/

I'm new to this pp, if you wouldn't mind. Could you have a look threw their pipe tobaccos and recommend something. I personally like my dark flavors, hobourns ( If that's how you spell it ! .)

The tobacco I bought from the supermarket is vagina blend ready rubbed. But hey I need to start somewhere rite?

Same, man

Hey dude, I saw somebody post this. If it'll handle the G9 it should handle any weight. Look at the pivot arm on that bitch.

Never thought about that to be honest. What I do wish is either my LG CX or the mounting arm had some kind of small expansion system for when the TV heats up. Problem is the mount is so strong and rock solid I'm wondering if it's doing damage as the TV heats up and tries to expand.. when it gets hot it sure does make some loud sounds as the vesa mounting plate is held in place and can't budge while it wants to expand a tad. Well actually it does it more often when it cools down once I turn it off. But either way, it is not a nice sound.

Couldn't you ghetto some rubber washers between the mount plate and TV to give it some room? It would also reduce vibration.

And look at the price for it.

That might work. hmm. But can I be bothered to take it off the wall and remount it...

I used this mount. Some chinese company. Honestly it's rock solid. It tilts, pivots etc. Really adjustable and strong as hell, it's mounted onto my brick wall with six 4" bolts. It says 50kg but I hung about 60kg off it fully extended overnight before I put my TV on it and it didn't even sag slightly - was well happy for the £45 price tag. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01AYBLPNA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That was also the first time I drilled into brick. I knew it was going to suck so I bought a nice Milwaukee 18v drill to do the job. Up until that point all I had was a £30 bosch consumer line drill and I knew it would struggle with brick. Turns out the walls of this house are disintegrating. Not too surprising as it's about 170 years old but it made drilling the holes a right PITA.

edit:

And now im really tempted to sell my 3080 considering I could like like £500 profit on it. I had no idea. Problem is I don't have another spare GPU lieing around.

Drilling into any kind of masonry requires what they call a "hammer drill" and a masonry drill bit. I've drilled into many concrete walls from my hvac experiences. Much older masonry had more gravel (different types of minerals including granite) in it which makes drilling into that much more difficult. Drilling into the masonry joints between bricks/blocks is always much easier when possible. Using a hammer drill and a masonry bit might cut that like warm butter.
Edit: in the U.S. they are known as hammer drills, I have no idea what term they use in the U.K.

When working for DirecTV I used a Dewalt cordless and 1/2" masonry bit and always went right through any brick easy peasy.

TX may or may not have very old masonry like Mich does..... The newer stuff seems to be much softer than the old stuff from pre-1900's. I am referring to old farm houses with what they call "Michigan basements"
Edit: as far as I know... not very many homes in Texas have basements or concrete walls like the U.K. or northern states in the U.S.....at best you'll be drilling through stucco/adobe.

Well I wouldn't be going through the ground to go into a basement for DirecTV either. I'm talking brick, like the side of the house.

It would not be unusual to run the main into the basement where the distribution point device is located to go to into the other rooms through the floor boards into each room. Quite common in the northern states with basements. I have no idea what they do in the U.K.
