I just don't know what to say...

I found this beauty on Reddit earlier today - a gate valve with a bypass ....

Ok really you guys need to stop, my wife can’t stop laughing.

I particularly like the power strip, which should make it easy to add additional lighting. Now, where did I put that table lamp?

It's not a power strip it's the power distribution box for the garage :grin: And how did they get my mom's lamp in their garage. I'll have to check next time I am out there.

The bundgy cord holding the lamp screams “permanent installation”

Edit: and the 1/2” bypass on the 3/4” valve is called flow control !!

No, that’s a handle to make installation easier.

Darn it, I can't find it...

But for years I at work meetings would show the picture of a new fuse holder installed at a factory with a penny in the fuse holder (instead of, you know - a fuse) with a passing QA/QC tag hanging on it from commissioning..... :confused:

(Actually used to happen semi regularly with the old round fuses)

What you can't see from that original picture is that he put a Unifi Wi-Fi AP in the lamp so that he has good Wi-Fi coverage in garage.

I will admit to repurposing that type of lamp as an antenna stand in my attic.

But this is a clever way to avoid interference between the LED bulbs in the lamp and the radio in the garage door opener, right?

Genius is disruptive and challenging to our worldview. I think deep down there's a lot of petty jealousy here because none of you thought of this first.
