I got boosted in October plus the flu shot. And since there is stairs in my house, hopefully I am protected.

Humphreys posted:Idid have an ex that thought WIFI 2.4Ghz was the same as getting raw microwave power. I shoulda known she was a fucken idiot cos she was with me but that was the biggest warning, and Icouldnt convince her otherwise. But also then at the same time wouldn't let me drill a hole in the floor and run ethernet from her PC to the router. Went with Powerline ethernet bullshit lol I mean, if that's true we can save a ton of money by placing our leftovers next to the router. Follow me for more neat hacks!

Not Wolverine posted:Are those Linux reference books up to date? Are they really more useful than like just using Google? I use a Linux PC as my daily driver and I know enough to keep the system from breaking, I would like to learn more, but I don't own any reference books and I'm not sure they would still be the best way to learn more. Like a looong time ago my step dad purchased a boxed set for Mandrake Linux, it had a dozen CDs and a thick book, and this was relevant and useful at the time because we were still on dialup. Some of them are still relevant, but most of my modern books are at the office or in ebook format so I can use them on the road.

kastein posted:If the pipes float it's grover failing to understand that he lives in a god damned swamp. Humphreys posted:My post is a 'how to' on insulting americans and/or british. DIY'ing electrical work is not unusual in the US, usually anything up to the panel you can legally do yourself. Now, caveat, you should have someone come look at it and sign it off, but in most cases people are just replacing fixtures, outlets, and switches and that's not really something you absolutely have to have an electrician for as long as you know basic electronics and are not an idiot. Its also important to note most of our electrical is 120/110, so a little bit safer than mucking about in a 240v circuit like you might in the UK or EU. Granted, I did my own 240v wiring for my server rack. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 18:02 on Jan 18, 2024 |

His Divine Shadow posted:In Finland you can technically pull the wire and connect everything yourself, but leave all the junction boxes and stuff open. Then have a licensed electrician sign off on it, assuming you can get someone to do it. I had an electrician come by and basically document and give me the nod for my 240v wiring, so yeah same premise, but there's no requirement here to do that unless you are doing major work.

randomidiot posted:Plot twist: the HOA for the neighboring development will attempt to assimilate the property and fine you to death for disallowed outbuildings. And the color of the drapes. Our Neighborhood is a mix of old development (1960s-1975) and new development (1985-1995) and there's HOA in the new neighborhood but not the old portions, which is fun when someone from the HOA came to bother me about my project cars in the back yard, and I had to point out that I'm not in their HOA.

Happy for everyone who saved the $300 doing it themselves and driving to Home Depot repeatedly, though. ....why repeatedly. I went once. Kinda helps if you take photos and document what you need.

Powershift posted:After starting out looking at propane catalyst heaters the one night, I got deep into looking at propane fuel cells. Yeah which is why Diesel-Electric makes more sense - diesel fuel can be stored for long periods and it would vastly extend the range, and using it just to drive a generator lets you keep emissions in check since you can just run it at peak efficiency to top off the battery pack or directly drive the motors. Like Edison Motors did with their diesel-electric semi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XKb4psc0vY

Ether Frenzy posted:What happened is Reaganism and Thatcherism ended social programs for mental illness and drug addiction. Those carefully curated videos of a 2 block radius of drug users in inner city areas you'd have to literally go out of your way to find and travel to in order to make stupid videos are the result of the childish thinking those philosophies are built on, which results in the "social decay" that is actually the end stage of drug addiction. When I deployed to Qatar, they said a lot of the same things - low/no crime, you can keep your car unlocked during the day! Completely skipped that women are basically second class citizens at best if not straight up prisoners in their own country, have a bunch essentially slave labor due to their foreign worker visa stuff, and have UBI for native born spoiled assholes but nobody else. Applebees Appetizer posted:Imagine being a woman trying to navigate that place, gently caress that Yup. gently caress that.
