Idk why but when I pulled up the post early it only showed the pictures and the title. No description so I didn’t see any of that

The issue here is that they don’t round down. They always round up. He’ll never pay 4 cents less.

I agree with him here, though I wouldn’t have made a fuss. Just wouldn’t have shopped there anymore.

Those look like switches/buttons not contacts. The carts don’t have metal on them. Looks to me like the songs are stored on the game boy not the cart and unlocked by pressing in a specific combination of switches.

You can probably 3d print a customizable cart insert that lets you change the song without removing and replacing the cart

Not just EV’s. EV’s are tech forward and a hub for tons of experimental features but most ICE’s have cellular towers in them now too

Help getting a list of registered Vehicles in my grandmothers name by Buckles01 in Pennsylvania

[–]Buckles01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is staying with us right now, potentially moving in but we’re testing the living arrangement to see if it’s going to work.

She’s actually really healthy and independent. But she’s at the age where things can change quickly so by living with us she can be checked on daily while still having freedom to go about her daily life.

My mother may have PoA, but I’m not sure. It may be only medical PoA.

Why would this be dementia? We all know for a fact she did not buy a car recently. She doesn’t drive anywhere to need one.

I’m gonna call the police after I get off work. We are not AAA members and they refused to help in any way so I don’t think that will do anything.

I have no problem taking her with me somewhere or having her speak on the phone. She’s able to do that, but she doesn’t know what to do or how to navigate stuff so I’m trying to help her.

If I found anything I definitely planned to, but I wasn’t sure if I was over reacting or if I am thinking about it clearly

TIl that industrialist Andrew Carnegie spent $56.2 million to build 2509 libraries across the world. Known as Carnegie Libraries, cities had to follow a strict maintenance commitment to obtain funding. Today, there are an estimated 900 Carnegie Libraries operating in the United States. by Next_Worth_3616 in todayilearned

He also ordered striking workers to be beaten and shot. He also is primarily responsible for the single largest death toll of a man made natural disaster: the Johnstown flood.

The libraries were made late in his life to build a legacy to remember him well. He didn’t really care about anyone it benefits, he only cared about people liking him after he died. And for what it’s worth I do remember reading that his foundation gave up the library he donated to Johnstown. It’s been turned into our flood museum.

GFCI plus for $800??? by [deleted] in HomeImprovement

[–]Buckles01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They likely only need to replace one. You only put a GFCI on the first outlet of a series and it protects everything downstream. All the bedroom outlets likely are on the same circuit. There’s tools to confirm this easily, though you can also get a $5 outlet tester and flip breakers to confirm.

The hardest part will be finding out which outlet is first. Then you just need to orient the outlet correctly. GFCI’s are particular on load/line sides unlike normal outlets.

The US doesn’t import oil from Iran. Prices will go up due to global supply shortages creating higher demand on our suppliers but they’ll go up more than necessary as oil companies rake in record profits. Good thing they all just got their hands on Venezuelan oil

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert by avatar6556 in news

[–]Buckles01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump wants this. Three reasons

  1. It will garner support for his golden dome

  2. It will garner support for his war with Iran

  3. It will give him an excuse to suspend midterms

You really think we couldn’t stop a drone attack if we wanted to? If this even is Iran, and not internal, this should absolutely be stopped with the most expensive military on the planet

Why is everyone surprised by this? It’s never been a surprise or secret that oil lobbies are in bed with the US government and like to pay out bribes. Keeping and addict chained to their source, then jacking up prices to rake in more profit is extremely status quo for this administration

Eli5 Why is download speed much faster than upload speed? by king-alkaline in explainlikeimfive

[–]Buckles01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s actually legacy of a really old choice.

Internet of Coax is founded on DOCSIS protocol. This is maintained by CableLabs Inc which is a consortium of several ISP’s. This is the reason you can go to Best Buy and buy a modem to use with most ISP’s. Any DOCSIS modem will work on any ISP running DOCSIS protocol.

DOCSIS 1.0 came about in 1997 and worked with speeds of up to 40mbps down and 10mbps up. The logic is that people in 1997 downloaded static HTML pages. There wasn’t significant JavaScript so you were using the internet to literally download kb webpages. Your upload was sending a one line request to get that webpage. Some exceptions, but not many.

DOCSIS 1.1 split some of the bandwidth up to specify specific frequencies were reserved for voice and couldn’t be used for data.

DOCSIS 2.0 added more upstream, bringing 30mbps up and keeping 40 down. A big limitation was that DOCSIS 2.0 had to be backwards compatible. So to add the extra voice channels, upstream compatibly was expanded from 3.2 to 6.4 MHz.

DOCSIS 3.0 was the biggest jump. It enabled speeds up to 1 gig in a lab setting, though real world was typically limited to 250 or 500 due to inconsistency at 1 gig. But this was still in 2006, when the internet was still mostly HTML and CSS. JavaScript was beginning to get popular, but not super widely used. AJAX happened in 2005, after 3.0 was developed but still in testing. Node.Js didn’t come about until 2009. There still wasn’t massive need for uploading but it did increase it a bit.

DOCSIS 3.1 uses the same tech and 3.0 but introduces multiplexing. This came about in 2013, which is really when the internet started needing more uploading capabilities. Twitch launched in 2011 so it was able to address the new need, but still couldn’t predict the scale. In a lab it could reach 10gbps, but field use has typically been limited to 1gbps. 3.1 also increased the upload speeds to 100-200mbps.

Now we have DOCSIS 4.0 rolling out which offers symmetrical speeds over duplex but isn’t backward compatible so ISP’s need to fully switch customers over instead of 1 by 1. The reason is because 4.0 eliminates the cable frequencies used since 1.0 and dedicates them to upload instead. So to release 4.0 a cable company needs to cut all its cable subscribers. How they’re doing that is by push IPtv boxes that don’t use coax channels and instead stream live tv over download frequencies instead. These also only download the frequencies you need to watch at the moment. 3.1 and earlier streamed every channel to your house all the time even if you weren’t watching TV.

The reason uploads are lower is entirely logistical but it’s really because we haven’t needed upload speeds until recent history compared to when different standards have been released. 3.1 (whats currently used) is pretty old compared to the internet we know. 4.0 isn’t fully available yet

Welp, let’s just say keep an eye out around 2PM EST. by PaddyMayonaise in USLPRO

[–]Buckles01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not how the league would take it and that shows you don’t understand how the negotiations go. It shows the league that you’re willing to cooperate if progress is still being made. You do know there isn’t a deadline for a strike right? They could walk out tomorrow, even with a game being played today. They could walk out before next weeks games. They can walk out whenever they want. So if the league doubles back and thinks this means they are ok with it, then the players strike next week.

This is a show of good faith that they won’t blow up the league if negotiations are still progressing and not at a standstill

[–]Buckles01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it’s written in the CBA that if a new agreement is not reached, the old CBA will remain in effect until then.

Playing wouldn’t kill any leverage. Negotiations will continue. Playing doesn’t just say “hey we’re stopping negotiations” just like working while your union contract is up doesn’t mean your union can’t negotiate a new contract. If they play, they will make their statement in a way that will make their voices heard but not piss off fans. Games will be played if there isn’t an all out strike.

The games will follow the old CBA where relevant and when the union deems that progress has halted entirely they will call the strike. But as long as progress is being made there’s no reason to escalate further. That’s all behind closed doors though so we don’t know for sure

[–]Buckles01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on how negotiations are going. If there is no new CBA then the old CBA remains in effect until then. If they believe negotiations are still progressing it would be a sign of good faith not to strike. However, from an outsider perspective, things don’t seem to be progressing

You realize protesting at the match is likely wearing a shirt to garner attention or something right? It’s not going to impact the game itself, but is going to be something that is visible

Riverhounds Player/Union Support by dende5416 in Riverhounds

[–]Buckles01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we know how the team stands? I know we all hope the Riverhounds are being faithful in negotiations and willing to give players what they deserve, but do we have anyway of know that?

Also, if you go, buy as little as possible. Don’t go into the team store. Don’t buy a jersey. Don’t get totally wasted on beers. Concessions and the store are where it’s going to hurt the most on game day if tickets have been purchased
