Applebees Appetizer posted:Well the whole reason I even considered doing it was an experienced contractor told me I don't need them, and I posted here in addition because of the engineers that post in AI and was told the same thing so I dunno. That's loving insane. Maybe it was some slapped on later addition to deflect rain and they built it the dumbest way possible? Keep us posted. Unrelated, it's bizarre seeing twitter beef between major corporate bigwigs. https://twitter.com/StevenArmstrong/status/1013522801834254337

So I got a free tv that my sister was throwing out, serendipity! ...except it seems to be having issues. It'll be fine for a few minutes, then these bars of discoloration show up before it goes into static. Kinda looks like old analog static, but distributed in horizontal bars, the sound still plays perfectly, and the screen fades to black during commercial breaks/scene transitions. Does this sound like a capacitor issue or something more involved?

Applebees Appetizer posted:Trust me I'd love to do that but some counties (like mine) don't allow it, but then put water restrictions during a drought so then all the grass/greenery you're required to have loving dies. I've got about a third of my back yard covered in crushed shell and I'd love to cover my entire front yard with it with just a few maintenance free palm trees and I'd be living the dream. Cursory googling says they have to allow it. This law seems to back that up, dunno if you feel like starting a fight but it's a start. quote:(b) A deed restriction or covenant may not prohibit or be enforced so as to prohibit any property owner from implementing Florida-friendly landscaping on his or her land or create any requirement or limitation in conflict with any provision of part II of this chapter or a water shortage order, other order, consumptive use permit, or rule adopted or issued pursuant to part II of this chapter. IANAL but that sure sounds like they can't restrict what you can or can't plant. The "Florida-friendly landscaping guidelines" are kinda vague, maybe deliberately; you might not be able to go full gravel, but ripping up the grass and putting in less thirsty plants should be explicitly fine.

If the main issue is Supercharger access, I could see that being a lot harder to spoof. You'd have to somehow hack the car to output the ID of a non-blacklisted car when you plug in.

ratbert90 posted:And if Tesla made a gas powered car, and controlled the gas stations, they could also say "No, your un-certified car can't use our premium gas, feel free to use any other gas station though!" Except in this analogy their cars run on unleaded that only they sell, while every other station only has leaded. No one else is building fast charging stations, so by denying access to their stations they're removing a capability that was a significant selling point of the car to begin with. Even if there were another option, if Tesla's willing to do this I have no doubt they're willing to hard-code the cars to only work at Supercharger™ stations.

Olympic Mathlete posted:Aye and the best thing about it is the quality of sound you get from a reel to reel is superior to virtually every other form of physical media. So you can be a hipster with actual standards. Now we just gotta wait for the dudes at Mordhaus to perfect their water recording technology.

Darchangel posted:I love the disconnect that academia has with the reality of eating and having a place to live/sleep. Just remember that universities in general started out as places for the wealthy nobles to get sophisticated while the peasants supported their estate and the pieces all fall into place. Despite our best efforts (and we have come a long way in making them more egalitarian) they're still full of vestiges of that origin like this. See also: unpaid internships.

Applebees Appetizer posted:A couple of years ago I was offered the general manager position at the resort I work at, with a raise of twice what I was making at the time. I declined for that exact reason, and because all the previous managers were basically the owner's bitch and whipping post. I guess i don't like money enough lol. ugh, loving millenials No joke, I had to get a ride home from an auto shop's manager earlier this year, he spent most of the ride ripping on his lazy son who declined a 60hr/week position making something like $200k, when said son is already making $120k with much more reasonable hours, and is also married to a wife who made a not-insignificant salary. Lazy because "well he's making a shitload now, but if he gave up his personal life and worked a little harder he could be making even more. I just don't understand it." I smiled and nodded since I was in this dude's vehicle at the time, but... well, safe to say by the time I'm ever faced with a choice like that, I'll have kinda finished life. Like, what's left at that point? You did it, you can retire in like a decade if you save smart.

blep See if you can find my bottleneck Although I hadn't realized just how bad the graphics card market, that's a three year old card and it's still on sale for the same list price it was back then? I only got it in December '15 because it was on clearance direct from EVGA for like $150, $200 in 2018 for a 2GB card is ludicrous.
