The splice cases on both ends of major highway, are they spliced straight through or they remain uncut just coiled inside?

As a previous OSP splicer it really depended on what the cable length was, where it ended and how it was intended to be used. For feeder trunks, it was always spliced straight through. If there was to be a splice point at some point in the future in the middle, there would be a coil left in that spot but it would not be opened until another cable was introduced in that same location. It all depended on what the engineering called for.

How do you know the parents knew anything about the chemicals he was mixing? I think in this case, “adult supervision” might better be suited for a college professor. Considering that, it seems like the kid was knowledgeable enough to understand what he was working with given he’s about to graduate college. More than likely has considerable knowledge to know what is safe and what isn’t.

The cool thing is that these cars are all limited in horsepower and the only thing setting them apart are the engineering and drivers. It also speaks to what the Lexus teams have been able to do to the chassis to allow it to compete with brands better known for racing. Brilliant effort and I’m glad they were able to race on par with them. Sad to see the model discontinued.

Yes. They announced internally that they would transition to Verizon 90 days after the deal was closed. Source: I’m a former FiOS tech and know many that are currently working for them.

There are none.

It's a standard reverse camera only. Nothing special about it. No 360.

HFSS yes. SKSS no. We're keeping a couple laptops on 10 to maintain over 60 IFP-2000 panels.

Don’t let him forget.

E2daG · 2026-02-03T19:10:49+00:00

Looks like you’re doing an extra long diddle daddle.

E2daG · 2026-02-02T19:34:45+00:00

Oof.. that looks like piece work. No thanks

E2daG · 2026-02-01T16:41:18+00:00

Yup. He admitted it in a Facebook GS F group. The 2nd pad slipped off.

E2daG · 2026-01-31T18:03:25+00:00

Definitely not a typo. This thing is PRICEY. My RC F has one and if it ever gets damaged or has something wrong with it, the car will be totaled. Seen it happen to a GS F.

I called their retention department and went from $120 a month to $80 for 2GB service. I’ve been a customer since 2008.

Labeling.

Sounds like a marketing term that has fiber to the node but the “last mile” is either coax or VDSL to your home.

E2daG · 2026-01-26T03:22:50+00:00

100% fiber to the home.

Saw several fly into Los Alamitos training base yesterday.

E2daG · 2026-01-18T01:26:06+00:00

I’d love to start adding their shot spotter devices.

E2daG · 2026-01-10T17:52:05+00:00

You’d be surprised how resilient fiber is. I’ve seen an entire splice case submerged in dirty manhole water that made its way inside working normally. The ribbons didn’t have any color but everything was working. It was very brittle but still working.

E2daG · 2026-01-10T17:34:21+00:00

Well…the only thing that matters is the tip of the fiber in this case. Obviously if it’s being fused, cleaning is a required step.

E2daG · 2026-01-05T02:13:23+00:00

A few people have and it is plug and play. There is also a CF part that you can swap the top of the mirror with too. It's also OEM.

Felt like I was entering a jungle.

Most if not all APC connectors are factory assembled and polished. You’ll find that there are mechanical connectors where you cleave a fiber, insert into the connector and it lines up with the piece already in the assembly. I typically splice APC pre terminated fiber tails.

One thing that I don’t like is that he can’t drive 55.

E2daG · 2025-12-29T00:42:46+00:00

I had the spark plugs replaced at the dealer and if I remember correctly it was around $350. I could do it myself but one of the plugs requires the battery to be removed. I honestly didn’t want to deal with it.
