Moved into the new place Friday. Still probably need to make 6 or 7 trips, mostly for garage poo poo. Moving sucks but spent $1K for a 3 guy crew to move my big poo poo and it was worth every penny. No internet service until tomorrow (I can finally get better than 25/5 - FTTH at the new place!) but not set up to get installed until tomorrow. It literally just dawned on me 5 minutes ago I could use my phone as a portable hotspot  I'm not that smart.

Maybe see an RMT? Bonus: Massage. e: To be clear, if you are in agony go see a real legit doc, but definitely see an RMT before you go to a chiropractor. slidebite fucked around with this message at 20:03 on May 2, 2017 |

I haven't been there since April 10, need to get caught up. Thanks for the reminder. I'll prepare myself for the inevitable shitfest at the end.

Moved into our new house this past week. Friday was a beautiful day, about 30C (86F) and thought it would be worthwhile to try the AC. Switch the thermostat over to AC mode, clicks on and off to the races. By late afternoon, I notice it's not as cool as I would have hoped so I played with the zone air dampeners to redirect more air upstairs than down. Dampeners are a little stiff and don't want to move well, so coincidentally the builder was just down the street so he came over and tried and had difficult too. He also agrees the AC isn't cooling great, so he wants to get the tin basher over the check the dampeners and AC unit to be safe. Yesterday AM he comes over, tweeks the dampeners so they move better but he agrees the AC isn't cooling as well as he would have hoped. Goes outside to check the compressor to make sure it's operating fine, comes back in and says "Hey, uh, Slidebite, do me a favor and check your breaker for the AC" Yep. Note to self, AC works better when it has power.

gently caress my move was just going too smoothly to not turn into a disaster. Bought a washer and dryer last week. The local ma and pa appliance specialty store where I bought it said they couldn't deliver it for 1.5 weeks, so I elected to bring home myself and install on the 2nd floor of our new 2-storey home. Got the dryer up OK with not a ton of fuss (still hard work) but the washer was back breakingly killer and tough to do. About 300lbs, awkward as gently caress to move, and my helper tried so hard he lifted it off my dolly, causing the dolly to crash into the wall causing a huge gash. gently caress me. Oh well. Get everything in the laundry room, hook everything up, seems to work well but the dryer has a "tick" with every rotation. Call the store the next AM, they say not to worry sometimes flattened spots happen on the rollers and they usually go away after a few loads. If it doesn't, let them know. So I listen to them, do a load of laundry Saturday night and all seems to work OK. Get a guy over to patch the wall. He gets it filled, sanded, starts painting, runs out of paint so he gets the other can the builder left. Starts throwing it on and SURPRISE - it's sealer, not paint. And we're out of paint. gently caress. Go to do laundry last night, put the clothes from the washer into the dryer, start, dryer shudders and goes HUMMMMMMM . Motor gets power, drum ain't moving. Locked solid. poo poo. Guess it's not just a simple thing anymore. Go to bed pissed off after hanging our clothes to dry all over the house. Get up this AM, walk past laundry room, notice water pooled on the floor. Seems like water is now dripping out of the back of the washer. fuuuuuuuck. Go to appliance guys as soon as they open, and to their credit they say they'll probably replace them with new ones but they need a tech to look at them first but he is on holidays this week and can't get someone to look at them until next week.

Don't mean to be a debbie downer, but I've always found it  relatively easy to get in semi decent shape and lose weight. I've always had a far more difficult time keeping it that way for the medium-long term. Hope it works out for you!

Adiabatic posted:Get into DCS / SCADA poo poo. There's so much automation occurring in industry. Manufacturing is coming back to America, but the jobs are all logic programming and robit programming and automation. I will nth this but I will add that if you're not a tech guy and like working with your hands people good with fluid power, Hydraulic and pneumatics also have a lot of demand also due in large part to automation. If you can do the whole deal and also program/controls you have it made.

Darchangel posted:How does one get into this? Part of my problem is the whole "I'm 47 years old with a family and a house." Starting over is tough when you're used to a half-way decent salary. I'm not in any way ambitious or interested in climbing the ladder/management. I just want a job with some variety that I won't hate going to every day, with the seemingly-impossible additional requirement of paying a decent wage that at least keeps up with inflation/cost of living.

My new house was hard wired with 5e throughout and I just got around to tying into it with a punch down patch panel. My total amateur panel install (just running patch cables to ISP supplied router for now)  Before on wifi in my office on the 2nd storey (150/150 on 5ghz wireless, opposite corner of house from router)  now  I know it's not blazing fast compared to some services out there, but compared to the 25/5 I've been on for the last 8-9 years it's a nice bump.

Kazinsal posted:Dang. Is that Telus 150/150 fibre? They haven't introduced it where I am in Victoria but they have about a kilometre away from me... Yeah, the small suburb town (about 10K people) of Lethbridge I just moved to is 100% FTTH. Supposedly telus has tons of bandwidth in reserve and they are just doing the 150/150 now as their top tier offering. slidebite fucked around with this message at 08:03 on May 21, 2017 |

As soon as the CRTC approves the tarriff and gives access to the 3rd parties to FTTH, I'll probably jump to Teksavvy.

Telus would probably like to do that, but they don't set the tariff rate, CRTC does. The CRTC rulings for the past couple years have generally not been in favor of the oligopoly, so I actually expect the 3rd parties to offer a better deal. In all reality, I'd even pay them  more a month just to not give it to Telus.e: I just got off a chat with Telus and was able to negotiate unlimited usage with my 150/150... not that I probably will use it because it's 1TB as it is, but still.

I've got a laptop with a 970M so I could game when out of town, which it does really well. Pity I never seem to use it for gaming  Running a 980ti on my desktop for the past couple years and I just discovered that last Doom that got released a year or so ago and it plays 3440x1440 fantastic but is a space heater doing so.
