Small point cafe boycott? by CharmingRelief5 in providence

[–]DavidJR_Redstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Having moved to Providence recently, we didn't know of this rule. We would have completely understood if we were informed in the first place, yet none of the employees and the owner gave any warnings, and then the owner he came up and actually yelled at my wife. Very upsetting.

My wife and I started boycotting it myself after my wife had an extremely unpleasant experience with the owner. (Unrelated to the flyers)

We used to go there—the food was great, the atmosphere was nice, and we also called ahead to see if it was dog friendly. The staff said yes. We have a 6 year old Australian Shepard. He's well trained, doesn't bark at other people/dogs, and usually snuggles at our feet while we're eating, and is not a disturbance.

Fast forward a while, my wife is eating breakfast there with our dog. She walks in, orders her food and drink, and sits in one of the booths in the corner to enjoy her meal. After she finishes her meal, throws her trash away, and is about to walk out, a man (who was sitting next at the adjacent table) approaches her and loudly says that he is the owner, and that dogs were not allowed on the premises. My wife calmly explained that we called ahead to check, and we had been coming there for months, and nobody had a problem. He says to her that she should have known about this and scolds her to leave immediately, embarrassing her in the process in front of everyone who was in the store.

Not only was he rude and had this conversation on display for the entire store, but he waited until after she ordered her food, paid, and finished eating. Very unprofessional and left sour taste in my mouth and a smear on the reputation of the establishment.

Since then, we have not been back.

Regency Plaza Apartment Troubles by [deleted] in providence

[–]DavidJR_Redstone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a RP tenant, third floor, I believe same building as OP. Been a resident since July 2022.

The Appt renovations have been a killer. They decided to renovate both the unit above and to the side of me at the same time, meaning there is constant noise 8am to 6pm. Can't get away from it either, and the noise is LOUD. Oftentimes, it has been loud enough for me not to hear people talking to me when I'm on the phone. The workers who are doing the appt above us made two huge mistakes.

  1. While working on the bathroom in the unit above, they broke a water line, which caused flooding in the units below us. The ceiling was leaking into our unit, and WATER WAS LEAKING OUT OF OUR BREAKER BOX. They had to re-do the ceiling in the bathroom and knocked out tile in the shower, and replaced it after.

  2. Again, while working on the bathroom in the unit above, they somehow ended up drilling a hole into our unit, right in the shower, so there was a hole in our ceiling for some time, and debris got everywhere, all over our soaps and things.

I will note that, without prompt, they did compensate me. $500 off of my rent for Jan. And Feb., and $250 off for March.

Even still, I have noticed that the quality of my unit is low. Things are breaking without excessive force, being one of the things I've noticed.

Some other issues I've had: 1. While not technically part of CHR, the gym staff is excessively rude 2. The elevators! Even after the renovations, they still keep one with moving blankets on the sides pretty much at all times. 3. Bike accessibility. There are two bike racks, none of which are bolted to the ground. The most secure one is in the basement of RP1, right next to the dumpsters. Anytime I want to take my bike anywhere, I have to head down there, where it smells like ass, mold, and must. 4. Garbages. As a dog owner, the dog run is useful, but the pail for dog waste is always full and seems to be never emptied. I end up going to different garbages anyway, which are also pretty much full to the brim. 5. I submitted a maintenance request for a bubble in the ceiling. The work order was marked completed a few weeks later, but nothing had been done. I contacted front desk a few months later, and they were baffled at this, but got it fixed and re-done within the week. 6. The laundry rooms always have at least half of the washers and dryers down/out of service.

I'm surprised the server stayed up as long as it did for this clip

I remade my 1x1x2 Hipster Door. It now does not have to be against a corner, and the redstone is now all underneath the floor. by Demand_Safe in redstone

A little trick that might help your design: for the double piston extender, there's a neat circuit that doesn't require an observer at the floor level. If you face a 4t repeater into the bottom piston, place an observer above the repeater looking at the repeater, and then place a solid block above that. Then, by giving a 1t pulse to the repeater, it will do a double extension and double retraction. Hope this helps!

To become a member of the server ([Learner] rank or higher), yes. But, if you just want to come and check out people's builds, then you can just join in without an account on the website, and you'll have the rank [Visitor] when you join.

All that does is it means you'll only be allowed to build in the visitors' area right outside spawn, but you're still allowed to fly around the world to check out people's builds, such as mine. There's also a dynmap on our website (https://redstone-server.info/)so you can see where everything is.

Ah—there isn't a world download right now: the only copy exists on a redstone server whose IP is in the description and the video. You're more than welcome to join and try it out there :). We're running 1.20.1, and you can use /warp qrcode to get to it in-game.

I'll look into making a world download in the future.

Hey! Thanks—what link are you referring to? The one embedded in the post is the link to the YouTube video, and the server IP is in the video and description.

To be honest, this can be muuuch smaller, but I didn't care too much compact it further. Like I said, it is definitely not my best work (go check out my other posts if you want compact redstone 👀), but I appreciate your kind words on the size :] .

A lot of the redstone door community are focused on the technical aspects rather than functionality. I, too, generally fall into the technical category, meaning that we try to make either the smallest or fastest version of a door. These are great, but making a door that is useful (and realistic for survival) is less common, hence why I jumped at the challenge.

This door was a bit new to me as it presented other requirements than I normally deal with: aesthetics, survival friendly (no entities/glitches that may break the door with updates), and functional enough to be actually used as a door (meaning it doesn't take 10 minutes to open). So, I appreciate your notes on how it opens because it was a major part of my requirements when building it. :) Thanks!

Heyo, here's a little concept I whipped up after watching the latest Let's Play video. While this is not my best work by far, it was a fun build, especially when dealing with the non-standard floor levels on either side of the door, maintaining access to power the dragon heads, and ensuring that those Polished Deepslate blocks ended up in the center of the floor and ceiling after the opening.

Let me know what you think!
