Fibre Tech Slackbox Revelation
O
Just close the box and pop a quick H on it with a marker
D
that way we all know it’s filled with hornets
G
DON’T. HORNETS. OPEN. INSIDE.
L
Underrated reference
I
….there could be something delicious in here that wasps do make and I want that.
T
As I tried to explain before, you cannot get honey from a hornet’s nest.
B
I just don’t think there’s any science to support that, buddy.
M
There’s some very basic science supporting that.
C
He just wants all the honey for himself, grab the nest, quick!
C
Just burn the place down and start again…
M
Think of all the honey
M
Oh honey, no…
S
/r/unexpectediasip
T
Looks like a new fibre optic tech… with a built-in defense system
M
You know, why don’t you keep this buddy
A
splat that thang like the hood of a Prius.
S
‘Dont wasp open inside’
I
I this get reference.
G
…..people ask me why I quit being an electrician. Shit like this is always in my top 5 reasons.
R
There are 4 other things worse than wasps in a box?!
E
2 wasps in a box!
D
Dying from being electrocuted is definitely one of them.
D
I encountered wasps in a box once. Not a good time, for either of us.
W
For real, I was with Comcast for a hot minute decades ago. Wasp in boxes and pedestals was also in my top 5, just below hoarder homes and loose dogs. I always seemed to find unexpected wasp when I was up on a ladder too.
H
Based on that first pic, I thought that someone stuck a cabbage in there as a prank
W
Spicy cabbage.
P
Had the same thing happen after I was intermittently losing my internet. Traced the cable to that exact same looking box and boom, full of wasps. Their vibrations loosened the coaxial connection.
P
I work in IT / Tech and I gotta admit that’s a new one
P
Lol I immediately closed the box like nopeee and went and geared up with a hoodie and gloves. Committed a genocide with wasp spray that day.
L
Gotta love that period of time between fearful avoidance and geared up revenge, after discovering a wasp problem.
C
I like to assume it was like in Commando when he lands on the beach and begins gearing up before going after the compound.
B
The desire for Netflix is greater than the fear of wasps.
D
Used to do small office IT consulting 20 years ago, seen my share of dead mice in computers, ants in electronics and electrical outlets, but the most memorable one is someone’s plant growing into the USB port on their monitor.
U
Happens all the time in isp boxes. When I worked for an isp we had the bee remover on speed dial.
P
It’s the “vibrations loosened the connections” thing .. just, wow. I’ve found a few paper wasp nests in my own box, no big deal I got some heavy gloves and relocated the little guys.
D
Sounds like your internet was buggy
S
As a former cable tech but still in the industry.. This bugs me. Someone didn’t use their 7/16 wrenches on that connection.
M
**N E U R O M A N C E R**
B
I was hanging out with the Comcast dude who came to fix my internet. I watched him kick open the post box in the ground out front and had a special stick he used to open the wall box from a distance — snakes and wasps respectively.
S
What is the link loss for this particular nest?
N
3dbeee
S
Fibers black and yellow
F
I had my fiber internet go out last year. Opened up the box outside and wasps were building a nest inside. They chewed through the fiber lines!
M
Hornets need high speed internet too.
E
Wasps got better internet than I do..
R
I thought this was a burnt head of lettuce until I scrolled through the pics. Wild.
K
Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
C
That could be a great enrichment opportunity for a chicken flock
D
Those slack box/NIDs are $16. I would have ripped it off the wall and chucked it in the woods and bought another one lol
