- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 5 days ago:
In theory that should be prorated then, depending on the contract dates. Anywhere I have ever lived we have bridges two places to live for a couple days while moving and cleaning, and I have never been on the hook for an entire month.

I think The Matrix had it right when they said 1999 was the peak of humanity, when platforms for these kind of shenanigans didn’t exist yet lol. Yeah we had loons on BBSs and IRC, but this is certainly something special.

Professional electrician and AV tech here.
Personally, and this may be overkill, but an HDMI/video matrix would do wonders to cut down the number of cables you’re working with. You’d be able to group your cables within that shelving unit, so that you can run a single HDMI to your TV. You analog consoles would need a digital converter between the console and the matrix, but since the TV itself has to do the conversation anyway and will already introduce input lag, you’re up a creek there anyway. I’d cut a plug behind the TV, as well as low volt passthrough. If you’re handy and can patch drywall/paint, I’d run smurf tube from that shelving unit through the wall to behind the TV. And as many others have said, velcro straps, not zipties.
If you don’t want to go bananas with all that, then velcro strap everything as neatly as you can. You’d also be wise to separate power and data/video cables.
- Comment on Does anyone have ideas for cable management here? 6 days ago:
Honestly I hate those things. It’s fine if you’re not going to add or remove anything, but velcro is easier than those. Plus the cheaper ones don’t round off the edges and can crease the cable insulation.
- Comment on Does anyone have ideas for cable management here? 6 days ago:
Nothing more rage inducing than someone who went ham with zipties in a rack.
Velcro, always.
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 1 week ago:
I mean yeah, it’s not uncommon to know where each other live, there’s also that unspoken respect of leave people alone. Also yet another reason to not be an asshole in a small town lol.
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 1 week ago:
I live in a small mountain town, and property values went apeshit. Like a house/cabin that was $150-250k is now $4-500k. It’s insane.
Privacy and anonymity is definitely still a thing as long as you keep you business to yourself, because as I’m guessing you’re alluding to, people are pretty chatty as it is and a smaller population makes it more difficult. It also helps to not be an asshole and give people even more to talk about, especially when most everyone knows each other.

The epitome of Californication lol
- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 2 weeks ago:
Even then, most of California was predominantly Hispanic from the mid 1700s onward. When the Spaniards came to Baja California in the mid 1750s, they established 5 Franciscan missions in baja, along with 21 missions between San Diego and just north of the bay. They mixed with the indigenous population, who then became known as Californios. It wasn’t until white people started showing up just prior to and especially during the gold rush, with then California becoming a US state in 1850. Even then, it wasn’t until the late 1800s/early 1900s that California became predominantly white, and that was primarily due to the sheer number of white folks that moved west in such numbers that eclipsed the local Hispanic population.

Damn dude, chill out. You’re assumptions are out of this world and it’s laughable.
I can tell you’re blowing smoke out of your ass because anyone with eyes and rudimentary gun knowledge would be able to tell pretty quickly this is an ar-10, not 15. This was built for me by a buddy, the optic and stock I purchased after the fact. Yes the optic is overkill for this particular rifle, and will likely get transferred to my 30-06. The image is from the shop where we signed the transfer paperwork.
You’re showing your colors as a stereotypical arrogant keyboard warrior, who takes their assumptions and runs a marathon with them, parading around like a pathetic asshat to make yourself feel better. Grow up and be better.

It’s not a Magpul, I forget the brand but it’s super comfy.
My small town is very heavily armed, but is also way more moderate (purple) than anything. Sure we have our far right wingnuts, but they tend to be on the lower end of the intelligence spectrum in these parts. They tried forming a militia a while back, and most everyone in town just laughed at them. A lot of of us enjoy going shooting regularly (when it’s not freezing out), and I’m certainly not trying to take on the gravy seals by myself lol. My good buddies and I have contingency plans in place in case shit goes sideways in the worst of ways.

I’m reliably accurate to about 800 yards and I really don’t like fascist assholes.
It’s also not hard to buy a gun, that’s just a bunch of baloney, even here in CA. Yes there are carry restrictions, and yes it’s more involved than other states, but buying one is not as difficult as people make it out to be.

All of Southern California really.
My favorite is when dickhead white folks want “all the brown people to go back where they came from,” without the slightest clue that they were here first, and then they get real pussy when you point that fact out.
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 3 weeks ago:
The difference there though is that those devices are point to point, not broadcast/receive. Iirc there are different rules in place for direct line of sight devices, and misuse will land you a meeting with the FCC, hence why the more powerful variants require a license.
- Comment on Why don’t wireless connections (WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.) use anything between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz? 3 weeks ago:
But, the key takeaway there is that those portions of the spectrum where mobile bands are are restricted to those uses. 2.4 and 5 are “free bands,” in which any device can use them (assuming compliance with FCC part 15 in the US). If I built a device and operated it at say 4.3GHz, I’d get in big trouble once found.

- Comment on "Americans can't coo-" 3 weeks ago:
Just checked my DW and yup, sure enough, it is connected to the hot line. I was thinking of the refer line. I’ll be honest I never really put much thought into it and now I feel silly.
I actually am American lol. I’m an electrician by trade, so I was thinking more in terms of the equipment on board of the DW itself, but this is much more logical now that I think about it. I let plumbers do their thing and avoid installing/servicing appliances for customers (although I did just pull a 24" hair snake out of my shower drain this morning, smelled wonderful).
- Comment on "Americans can't coo-" 3 weeks ago:
I’m assuming dishwashers have their own water heater (if at all) since you typically only connect to the cold supply line? And they can’t be that powerful as they are fed from a regular 120v line and only draw maybe 7-10 amps, which includes the jet pump.

OC to Seattle, but yes. The guy didn’t want to relocate from Newport Beach, so they bought him a jet to make his weekly “commute.”
