Huh, where’s that?
Last data center I was on outside Cheyenne, WY there were about 100 iron workers from Texas doing their thing.

That’s just flat out incorrect

An Inside Wireman does not do the work of a Residential Wireman. They CAN, they just don’t.

wut? A Residential Wireman doesn’t even go into the space for Inside Wireman. Then there’s the fact that the space where an Inside Wireman works is tiny compared to the rest of the data center.
What are you basing your opinion on?

Uhhh… I won’t comment on the other stuff but I can confidently say the electrician that comes to your house is not the electrician who is wiring these data centers. Completely different crews.

throw a different live distro on and see if the problem persists. if so, put in some windows install media and see if it works during the install process. if neither do, it’s probably hardware.

- Comment on How do I keep a brand new one of these mats from wanting to keep curling up on the ends? 1 week ago:
Shock treatment. Barely heat it, not so it’s hot to the touch, but warm and pliable. Then flatten the fuck out of it with something cold. I have aluminum plates for this but you could use some steel that fits in the freezer, or steel with a bag of ice on it. The idea is that we get it pliable, put it how we want it, and then cool it off rapidly to make it stay like that.
Alternate: tell the boss to get a decent walk off mat
- Comment on In just 15 years, the average U.S. homebuyer went from 39 to 59 years old: Top analyst reveals how the housing market has warped in one generation 3 weeks ago:
No, it’s not us GenX buying ski condos. It’s corpos like BlackRock buying up everything at 10% over ask and trying to turn the country into permanent renters. They figured out they will make more money over 30 years by renting it out and barely maintaining it than by backing mortgages.

I think FRS is the only thing legally available without a license. You can buy GMRS radios on Amazon that will communicate with FRS radios on all of the FRS channels, see here:
wiki.radioreference.com/…/GMRS_combined_channel_c…
However, these radios are VERY limited in an urban area with lots of concrete towers. In my experience the GMRS radios on “high power” really only go one little valley over out in the woods. In the city you might get two or three blocks because of all the concrete.
Maybe Meshtastic? That’s a radio I haven’t messed with and I don’t know about it’s performance in an urban environment.

just please one bean, thank you.
but if you can find one that wants other beans, more power to you.
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 5 weeks ago:
That is true, and bought us significant soft power
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 5 weeks ago:
But for me, knowing that the USA did the Iran and CIA stuff while the USSR did Afghanistan and KGB stuff is enough for me to decide both were elitist assholes that didn’t care for normal humans but just wanted to increase their own power.
That’s actually a pretty solid take from what I know about it. Both powers were being total assholes and wanted control over as much of the world as they could get. USA had strong weapons power but USSR had strong soft power, bringing social programs to people who desperately needed them. Roads and bridges and such.
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 5 weeks ago:
while Russia was the aggressor in Cuba and arguably in Afghanistan
Fucking pardon me? Russia literally tried to take over Afghanistan after the US gave them weapons to protect them from Russia.

No flying though. I’m looking for airplanes in space and sometimes SC can scratch that itch but E:D is the better product.
Like you literally cannot “fly” your damn spaceship, you have to use a point and click interface (at least the last time I checked). I wish SC was a good product and I’ll be sad the day E:D goes offline but EVE is definitely not it for me.

Yeah, I know. I have what many would consider an absurd amount of rice and beans and salt so it makes sense to store something that won’t go bad. Gold never spoils. Never.
