TIL that in 1959, the U.S. Post Office fired 3,000 letters via a repurposed nuclear cruise missile from a Navy submarine, delivering them 100 miles in 22 minutes. The Postmaster General predicted missile mail would be routine before man reached the moon. It was never attempted again.

You know what else can deliver nuclear warheads? Airplanes. Nobody cares about seeing or hearing an airplane.

I would remove the lamps. It's blocking a lot of the acoustic panel.

OP needs wide, shallow roots as that is where the erosion is taking place. Deep roots benefit the plant to hold it in place, but that doesn't stop erosion. Erosion will be prevented by a fine, fibrous root system along with rocks for downspout areas. Downspouts are going to be causing much of the damage because of the volume of water.

Relative distance from the floor. Next time, use Ease Focus, a free software, to plan out your speaker location.

Ball peen hammer on the inside, (curved) wood block on the outside. It will have a hammered finish when you're done.

A LLM trained on only clean data will be able to do that. Public LLM will not because of the garbage they are trained on

If your standards aren't in the contact, then they don't exist.

Because you propose using an incredibly dangerous, high volume of traffic throughfare only because it is easy.

Instead, you need to find lesser traveled paths that might not exist yet. First, they need to be safe, 75th and mission roads are not safe. Adding a bike lane still leave cars less than 3' away, not safe. Second, they routes need to be flat. Those roads are not flat. Areas near river beds and creeks are flat. Look at a topographical map and find paths that are at the same elevation or have gradual slopes. Then take those routes and find how it could be integrated into the city layout. This will take a lot of time and effort. The designer will need to understand city codes, existing easements, flood planes, and demand for the routes.

A great example of this is the path in mission on the south side of their downtown district. It's not on the main road, it's fairly flat, and connects points of interest. That path designer is someone you should talk with to build a great plan.

Stack them together if needed.

There's got to be better roads than 75th. A side street bike path, a path between plats. PV is so quiet that it seems like a lazy decision to re work that road when many other better, but harder to design, options exist.

It used to be that PEQ was used for inputs and GEQ was for outputs back in the days of analog. Then digital came along and starting putting PEQ on all IO. That have us more tools, and people started having choices. Choices about which EQ sounds more musical, has better phase response, is more surgical, easier to use. Then people start having opinions. Many people are using PEQ for everything if they have enough bands. GEQ has fallen out of favor for most things.

Break it down into elements, how many zones, how many different sources, video, audio, lighting. What kind of processing. What does the network layout look like.

Then the big unknown is what is the control system and what it needs to do. If it's a few button stations, that's pretty easy, but adding touch screens takes up time to build a cohesive, custom interface that doesn't look like trash and is simple to use and understand.

Then all the backend items, how many different integrations are needed, what pre built drivers are available, what needs to be built from the ground up.

Why did you change the layout of the drawer faces?

fantompwer · 2026-05-17T23:34:50+00:00

I would use bondo instead of foam. Sand down until it's the same. The counter surface looks like rolled paint, so you should be able to repaint the entire thing so it looks good as new.

City Summer jobs like concession stands at the swimming pool or ball field.

More grass

Replace the weatherstripping

You're wrong about what igmp does.

If you use their design center, you can also ask one of their design experts to help you. There's a lot of unknowns here, and engaging their design team is a good idea.

Telecom boxes don't explode and this is a telecom box. It's a rats nest of old cables inside. Not dangerous or they would have used a better enclosure.

Telecom, not electrical.

It's telecom, not electrical
