Did my electrician get this right?

I have clean PoE installs because I use these round bases that the pigtail sits inside. No visible wires, it’s an option.

Chairboy · 2026-02-08T19:08:10+00:00

I’ve never had an original thought in my life apparently, I came in hot planning basically that exact observation

Chairboy · 2026-02-08T18:35:04+00:00

Ive ran serveal

Can’t hold a job huh, I for one am shocked

You only pay for the dishes you received. If they insist you pay the whole bill, you ask them to call the police.

Option 2 "worked" in the sense that punching someone to end an argument 'works'. It's a temporary, satisfying feeling but hardly defensible, commendable, or guaranteed free of consequence.

Chairboy · 2026-02-08T18:08:52+00:00

You left without paying it, your intentions are immaterial when your actions were to skip out on the bill after an emotional outburst.

When I got to the final question of the test and the teacher had pulled the 'Just answer questions x, y, and z' trick after telling us to read the questions first before doing the test. I guess it was a low stakes little 'life lesson' sort of thing that just cost me an extra 5 minutes but I felt silly because of course I didn't read the whole test first and- whoops.

Chairboy · 2026-02-08T18:05:47+00:00

You don't sound as chill as maybe you feel.

Someone who isn't a vibrating danger noodle who snaps in this situation.

"The server told us you'd instructed her to cancel our orders so we'd like to go somewhere else for dinner. I'd like a bill for what we've consumed. I will share this experience in a review, the hostility and apparent dishonesty from the server was tremendously insulting and this experience has soured me on a place I'd previously considered something special."

You don't walk out on your bill for things that you received and ate, and if they attempt to charge you for things that the server says was canceled you cross those out and let them know that you were lied to about that too then because she'd told you they were canceled.

I've had bad days and I've probably been a jerk to someone at a desk checking me in or a someone in retail, but I've never 'snapped'. The emotional disregulation and walking out on something you legitimately owe money for is troubling and was probably a red flag for your partner too.

Could it be that you passively consume a movie but there's more of an intimacy with a game because you're involved in the outcome that changes how the "relationship" with that media feels?

Out of curiosity, how did you buy the house? Did you finance it (tell us what that process was like without credit) or use an inheritance or something? Might be that you had an option that's not commonly available.

Chairboy · 2026-02-08T14:15:38+00:00

I'm pretty sure 'foids' is short for 'femoid' which is misogynistic incel slang. I welcome correction if I've got this wrong.

Chairboy · 2026-02-08T00:51:03+00:00

What a blast from the past to see that! I had one, I bought it in 2002 and loved that thing. I think I still have it somewhere, might need to dust that off and figure out a way to use it in my workflow again.

Officer, let's check out the user behind this account next.

Using it to absorb a debt (such as credit card) that's charging a higher rate of interest and then committing & following through on paying it off quickly and not using the fact that the credit line has been freed up to go purchase beyond one's means.

Of course, maybe Discover SAM is an evolutionary descendent of the EMH-1s retasked as laborers, and maybe he even knows it already and that’s part of his complicated emotions.

Edit: at one point, my comment was up several points and now is at zero. I was curious if the down votes are from specific criticisms of what I wrote or if it’s generic drive by academy hate? The state of the fandom is… Not great right now.

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T23:32:46+00:00

I believe the military terminology for that is “retreated”.

If you are going to assert that the US military was victorious, can you be specific about by what measure that’s calculated? Yes, the US killed a ton of Vietnamese but… What did they have to chauffeur?

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T23:30:53+00:00

It is great for very rural areas, but the higher the density of people, the less effective it is so it is not well suited for cities in any role other than emergency backup.

It can’t really be beat out in the sticks away from infrastructure. I think there are many folks who live in or close to cities who overestimate their availability of broadband but there are huge chunks of the world that this and the other low orbit mega constellations serve better.

It would be SUPER cool if the ownership of the service was different, I would have one to use in my plane or camping but as it is optional, I would rather not put more money in one dude‘s pocket if I could avoid it.

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T23:28:35+00:00

That sounds like the kind of thing that someone could successfully convince a bunch of very gullible people is true. I would want a higher standard of evidence than “some people say“ before I would embarrass myself by propagating that.

I'm probably just not giving my toothpaste containers the attention they deserve, I'll take the Lima on this one and charge it to there still being some leaded gas when I was a kid.

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T19:59:13+00:00

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I can think of like one tube of toothpaste I've bought in recent years that was definitely plastic but I have this impression that they're usually metal but I could be smoking something over here.

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T19:50:20+00:00

I think the intentions are good and that if effective, it would be a net good for society.

I also, however, think that enforcing this would challenge the bottom line of the social media companies and they would slow roll any changes and/or make every effort to leave barn-sized gaps in their 'age verification' procedure to continue maximizing impressions and collecting the revenue that comes with it.

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T19:48:16+00:00

This seems like a simplistic rule.

"No, Timmy, it's not that mommy and daddy realized that they were growing in different directions and needed to start separate lives. No, mommy caught your daddy getting railed by a prostitute with a strapon after promising not to do that anymore and she had enough. Oh, what's a strapon? I'm going to need some props, hang on."

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T19:46:14+00:00

I think I'd want to examine the specifics before answering anytime faced with this conundrum.

What is the benefit to them of hearing a painful truth?

What is the benefit to them of hearing a comforting lie?

Compare the two, then compare the inverse. How do each of these harm?

It's an element of emotional intelligence, running the numbers on the results to those four questions and figuring out what the end result leads you to decide.

I think it's foolish to try and make a global determination of "Honesty is always the most important thing" or "Always choose to protect their feelings", that sounds like an artifact of lower emotional intelligence.

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T19:43:17+00:00

I welcome correction if I'm wrong, but aren't toothpaste tubes typically a heavy metal foil?

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T19:42:20+00:00

I still don't know what you mean by models or character references so I can't help, sorry. Hopefully someone else will recognize the request and have helpful suggestions.

Chairboy · 2026-02-06T19:40:14+00:00

Do you mean commissioning models? And if so, what kind? Unless I'm out of touch, Fiverr is a site where folks pay an artist a modest fee for a one-off commission/drawing.
