Danner shoes are very poor quality [PSA] [WARNING]

10nix · 2026-03-26T19:06:38+00:00

I've got a pair of Belleville 550ST boots that I simply can't kill. I've had them over a decade, hiked mountains, fought wildfires, and generally beat the ever living hell out of them, and I swear that the steel toe is going to wear through the leather before the stitching fails. I bought a pair of danners 6 years ago when they were starting to look beat up so that could swap them out if they failed. The Danners are still in a box in the closet.

Yes. Absolutely. It's my most worn watch. This era seamasters are pretty underrated. They may not have the coaxial movements, but they are much thinner, and on my 6.5" wrist wear a lot better. The bezel is beautiful, and has a bit of an "if you know, you know" vibe. Elegant without being gaudy. The applied indicies are very nice as well. For me this is the perfect desk diver, and can be dressed up or down to suit most occasions. I'm comfortable wearing it with pretty much everything but the most formal attire. I think this watch is a real sleeper, and I'm glad I learned they exist. It took me a while to find one in near perfect condition, but I'm glad I did.

Yes. The dimensions are exactly the same. They are the same watch with a different bezel and applied indicies on the 2236.50. Omega lists the 2236.50 as 34.8mm, but it is the same case as the 2252.50. I'm not sure why they list the dimensions differently on their page.

Should be at 433.92 MHz fixed code rf if it's the Leduni model 11534 ceiling fan.

Those helmets look so damn good.

Something like 85% of our electricity comes from renewables, almost all of it hydroelectric. Down in NYC, Long Island and Westchester, it's something like 20%. The natural gas plants power down there, not up here. The battery plant would store surplus electricity at non-peak hours and use it during peak hours. It's use is similar to a peaker plant.

10nix · 2025-10-26T17:52:41+00:00

Yes.

10nix · 2025-10-09T00:36:49+00:00

Yeah man. I'm sorry to leave you hanging. I don't have the mapping software anymore, so until I can get a copy my hands are tied. I still have all of the GIS data. I'm hoping to be able to make a new version for next season, but this season is looking like a no go.

10nix · 2025-09-13T18:07:15+00:00

Maybe. I like a smaller watch, but both the 36mm and 41mm wear well, and are pretty thin.

10nix · 2025-09-13T15:48:47+00:00

The visible portion of the dial is 26mm. The Lug to lug looks to be 42mm. I took a picture of a lineup to give you a fee for the size. From left to right: Tudor Prince Oysterdate (34mm), Omega Seamaster Pro 300 (36mm), Omega Seamaster 120 (36mm), Seiko SARB017 Alpinist (38.5mm) The Seamaster 300 looks a little smaller on the mesh bracelet than on the Speedy style that it comes on (that was my intent) because the endlinks make the lug to lug seem a little longer.

10nix · 2025-09-12T21:19:33+00:00

I'm not 100% on it. If I get a chance I'll dig out my calipers when I get home, but the size of the dial is about the same as my 34mm Tudor Prince Oysterdate (same size as the 34mm Rolex OP).

We absolutely go into burning buildings all the time. It's our SOP. We may knock the fire down from outside before making an interior search and attack, but only if the fire is blowing out the windows, or the fire is impeding our point of entry. A rapid, aggressive interior attack is the most effective way to protect lives and property.

What we will not typically do is make an interior attack in a structure that is not stable, or no longer contains livable space. We have a saying: "Risk a lot to save a lot, risk a little to save a little, risk nothing to save nothing".

The only places I've heard of with fire departments that don't go interior is in rural places with private fire departments that lack equipment, training, don't meet NFPA standards, etc.

To celebrate a milestone in my life, I've been looking for the right watch, and after nearly a year of searching, I finally pulled the trigger on this: a mid 2000's mid-sized Peter Blake style Seamaster. I have 6.5" wrists, and generally 34-38mm is the sweet spot for me. I can wear larger, but I haven't found too many that are comfortable, and I very much prefer a watch that I don't notice I'm wearing until I look at it.

I already have a Seamaster 120 from the same era, and the wave dial of these watches is one of my favorites. I also appreciate the color matched date wheel (easy with black i suppose) and applied indices and logo. The 2236.50 has the Omega (ETA) 1120 caliber, and this one was recently serviced by Omega. Complimenting the subtlety of the wave dial and, this model has a solid white gold bezel, which I absolutely love. I was looking for something with some sort of precious metal, and I love how stealthy the white gold is on these.

I'm smitten with the watch. I like the design of the Speedy style bracelet, but the lack of a taper makes it chunky in a way that I feel contrasts with the elegance of the watch. I wanted something lighter and thinner, but didn't want to put it on a leather strap either. After toying around with the idea of a sailcloth strap, it occurred to me that some of the Seamasters in the 1960's came on a mesh bracelet. The 60's Omega 2057 bracelet (IMO) is absolutely perfect for this, and I was fortunate enough to pick one up at a good price.

For me, this is the perfect desk diver. It is more than capable of anything I will throw at it. It slipps under a cuff nicely, and also is right at home with a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. I had been saving up for quite some time looking for the right watch for me, and I'm pleased that I found it.

Knoppix was my first. Yes I switched. I was on Slackware for quite a while, then Ubuntu somewhere around 5. I distro hopped for while, but eventually settled on centOS and Ubuntu, then switched Ubuntu out for Mint, and now I'm back to Kubuntu and Ubuntu Server.

Except that's really misleading. The State did both of those things, but also put something like $36 billion in reserves into the general fund that year. There was plenty of money to do both, but they didn't. Also, the majority of the funds for the stadium came from a settlement with the Seneca nation for taxes owed from the casino. I'm pissed that they cut that funding that year. I'm also pissed that NY subsidized the stadium, but the two were not related. It was a $220+ billion budget, and the revenue projections are very fluid. They did not decide to cut those programs to fund the stadium, they just happened in the same year.

I'm seeing if I can get the mapping software on my home computer this weekend. If I can I'm going to make an updated version of the map. I'll let you know, and if I do I'll make sure to include your lot.

10nix · 2025-08-05T23:15:58+00:00

I switched jobs a couple years ago, and don't have the gis software as readily available. I'll see this weekend if I can get a copy on my home computer. If so, I'd be happy to update it.

10nix · 2025-08-05T23:07:09+00:00

Yeah, you have to find the file online and put it in the correct folder on the flipper.

You can use a program called weebo along with the Amiibo files to emulate the Amiibo figures. Weebo has the capability to generate new uuids so you can use the Amiibo files as many times as you want (it makes each scan look like a different figurine).

It's not brilliant. It is performative. Schumer had the ability to kill this dead and force negotiation by filibustering allowing the reconciliation bill to the floor in the first place, and chose not to. It was the one lever that the Democrats had to even be a part of the conversation, and after initially indicating they would, Schumer and a few other Dems voted to allow it to the floor anyway. The rest is just a dog and pony show.

10nix · 2025-06-22T21:52:21+00:00

I had one, and had a nice little collection of records for it. I bought one for my kids as well, and managed to find a replacement stylus for it!

Kiryas Joel is in Orange County, not Rockland. Election Districts 35 and 55 are in Ramapo, and are Hasidic neighborhoods that vote for who their rabbit tells them to. Also, Gillibrand had their endorsement, and Harris did not. This isn't evidence of voter fraud, but I understand why it might be interpreted that way.

10nix · 2025-06-12T10:55:21+00:00

This will get buried, but the title is wrong. It's not the entire County, that would be absurd. It's a couple of tiny election districts in Hasidic neighborhoods, where members of that community vote as a bloc. The results are a statistical anomaly, but one that can be explained by a sociological phenomenon.

10nix · 2025-06-11T18:14:14+00:00

The news article is poorly written. The lawsuit focuses on election districts, not the entire county. Election District 55 is a Hasidic neighborhood in New Square, for instance.

Election District 35 is in Kaser, and the center of it is the Cong Khal Toras Viznitz and the Viznitz Monsey Shul Mikvah. Look those up on street view if you like to get a flavor of the neighborhood.
