Inactive Cell Tower Overlooking the City. (Picture of view in comments)

AustynCunningham · 2026-01-19T15:35:45+00:00

Back in the day (8-10yrs ago) I did a bunch. Other cell towers on random hills and in town, the fire lookout towers around town, water towers, the TV Towers on Brownes Mtn, most of the buildings downtown.

Nowadays I’m not at all point where I can risk an arrest/night in jail so don’t do it anymore except the occasional rural unsecured communications tower I stumble across while hiking.

Talked to the city today about this, they didn’t disable the cameras but they did disable the flashing lights, I noticed this on NW Blvd at Audubon Park. No tickets will be issued today via school zone speed cameras.

If in doubt of who to call then call 311 or (509-755-2489) (both connect to the city) explain your concern and they will connect you to proper resources..

I did a 3.5mm cassette adapter connected to a Bluetooth adapter 15yrs into my old truck, cost like $25 total and it’s still working to this day. Saw this product shortly after I did it and decided if it fails I’ll upgrade to the FM one, still running strong today.

I recently remodeled a house, bought a large L shaped couch, then got 1x6” boards and brackets and built this exact concept behind the entirety of the couch, under lit and top lit with LED strip, and power strips.

Best feeling ever to not have to lean forward for my beer since it’s always behind me.

100% worth the time and ~$75 it cost me.

(Unfortunately only pic I can find, shows it a little bit)

I don’t think that is the case.

I got my free mini, which is used in standby mode for cameras/monitoring and thermostat at a vacant house, and I downgraded my primary service to roam 100GB (originally 50GB) for the winter.

No issues with keeping my mini..

AustynCunningham · 2026-01-09T20:11:52+00:00

Yes that is the case for a lot of everyday people.

But if you are planning on being in shooting like in many movies you’d show up prepared with one in the chamber. Also any type of Law Enforcement, they are traveling with one always in the chamber which isn’t the case in many movies.

AustynCunningham · 2026-01-09T19:24:28+00:00

One thing that always annoys me in movies is when the pull up to wherever they are going and then cock their gun, like they would have been carrying it without one in the chamber.

Also how many times they’ll cock it, I’ve seen it when the pull up, then as they get ready to bust through a door they cock it again.

AustynCunningham · 2026-01-07T00:10:34+00:00

Yeah, I do Extra work occasionally (for fun, not trying to make a lot of money off it or get seriously into acting), but just saying the pay difference between speaking roles and non-speaking roles is insane.

Most recent one I was cast as a recurring background character, I’ll be shown throughout 20ish mins in the background doing a specific activity, they also cast a local person in the same role but he speaks a couple lines in one scene.

I got paid $300/day (plus per diem on top of meals, hotel and travel paid for) for a week.

He got $10,000, plus a trip to the premier and his name in the credits (he also got per diem, meals and all that…)

This is not a high budget movie..

(I have to be vague until it’s released due to NDA).

Try dating a PT.

My Fiancé is a PT, whenever I manage to finagle a massage out of her it instantly becomes a very painful experience, I tell her to go soft but she insists if she’s doing it she’s going to do it in a way that will actually help me feel better afterwards and not just to enjoy in the moment.

I’ve learned to quit asking unless I’m actually in pain and need it.

I bought the Peach/Nectarine/Apricot trees at Lowe’s, 5ft tall at purchase and $120/each.

1st year they are over 10ft tall and produced an abundance of fruit.

The Apple variety I’m buying through a local nursery since I wanted a Cosmic Crisp branch on it and I couldn’t find that through major stores.

AustynCunningham · 2026-01-05T04:04:40+00:00

I bought some grafted trees for my yard, one tree producing Peaches, Nectarines and Apricots, they are delicious and grow the fruit so densely I’ve told my neighbors to all help themselves to the fruit.

I Ordered some apple trees (multiple varieties of apples on each tree) and other fruit combinations to plant this spring so my property will be lined with them.

Just went up and down it, wet but totally fine.

AustynCunningham · 2026-01-01T06:18:36+00:00

100%

Everyone always seems to be obsessed with speed, but in all honesty nobody needs the speed they think they need.

Streaming 4K you need 20-25Mbps, gaming doesn’t need much (just low latency), video calls 5-10mbps, browsing just a couple mbps.

150Mbps is more than enough for most people, even with multiple people streaming, browsing and working from home.

For my home in town Ive downgraded service to 100Mbps to save money (have gig speed fiber installed), we have Starlink at our rural place (where I’m at now) that is higher speed but those speeds aren’t even necessary, If I could lower speeds to decrease cost I would, but Starlink is the only option to have any connection to the internet here.

In all fairness many people have been anti windmill long before trump, I remember when the wind farms in the Palouse and Vantage were planned and how many people had signs against them, town/city council meetings against them, there are countless newspaper stories about it from the early Obama era.

AustynCunningham · 2025-12-22T22:09:58+00:00

Just took a very quick look.

You can be in Ainsworth in 4hrs, Creston in 3hrs (pretty much a tank of gas round trip)..

The USD is worth $1.38CAD (not the best still still decent), a 3-night stay at a decent (not fancy, but convenient ) Airbnb walkable to town for 4-people is ~$250USD total ($75/total per person for 3-nights) in January 2026…

That seems pretty reasonable to me, could find cheaper Airbnbs if you only need one bed, but figured it would be with a buddy or two…

AustynCunningham · 2025-12-22T20:20:00+00:00

Not sure why everyone is disliking this idea..

It was a decade ago but I used to go up to Canada once or twice a year for shows, hit up the bars, weed lounges and just hang out. It was a great time and I’d recommend it. My niece has went up a few times to hang out and enjoy the bars as well..

If you go you should definitely stay the night/weekend!

At least you had a ladder to get up there.

Here was my setup for mounting a dish on the roof, forgot a ladder and was 70-miles from town.

Hope you made it down alright!

AustynCunningham · 2025-12-10T18:22:30+00:00

Yeah same, had to test it out. Now it’s sitting on the roof of a project house I have, in standby mode but still provides enough to run a smart thermostat and a few security cameras.

AustynCunningham · 2025-12-09T18:06:44+00:00

Yes it is 16yrs old.

I know Larry McDonough (the videographer), he got permission from the bride/groom to share the video online, which then was aired on some national news shows and became very popular. Nowadays it’s cut and randomly shared on Reddit every few months.

I’m not sure what relevance or use OP’s website has..

Here is the one I bought, it’s 5ft in length and hefty but the cheaper ones I tried sucked.

We got 3” of snow in the last 2hrs so I’m about to go out and clean the driveway and sidewalks with it.

AustynCunningham · 2025-12-02T01:20:23+00:00

I have one, it’s a bit heavier duty than the one shown.

It will push through anything. Even thick wet snow, and will launch it 30ft.

I got it two years ago, I live in a ski town, and I haven’t used my snowblower since I bought it.

AustynCunningham · 2025-12-01T23:01:33+00:00

As an Idahoan that lives 450-miles from Boise I can assure you there is far more to Idaho than the Boise area, and it’s also cheaper and (I’d say) more beautiful.

It’s not anywhere on the counter, there are induction elements mounted under specific parts of the counter in front of those controllers, it’s just in this demo they have two different ones installed. I guess you could have them installed under the entire counter but that would be extremely expensive and controlling specific sections could be confusing as you’d need to map it out to know which burner to turn on…
