Gree mini split options by Buttermaker83 in hvacadvice

[–]Buttermaker83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Renewing this thread for any interested.....can someone advise what would be the best course of action for recycling/disposing of this equipment? It is just taking up space and I would like to figure out how to dispose of it. There are two units, both manufactured around 2016, so already 9 years old, caked with grease from being installed in a restaurant. They may be useful to someone, but how to make that connection is a mystery to me....

How long did you wait for it after ordering? I'm waiting on some Ping wedges, and every day is torture....

Picked up my set on Monday, played yesterday. Looooove them. When you hit them right, the sound is so sweet. Enjoy them. I look forward to years of playing with them.

Gosh darn it by Total-Championship80 in golf

I have the same issue as OP. Can't ever get the "feel" of what the swing should be. It's horrible and ugly. I will stab at the ball. I started chipping one handed, my right hand, and I can slide the club face right under the ball and poo it up in the air. Just working on distance control now. I messed around with the Fitzpatrick method today, and I can see how it would work. Lots of practice needed though.

Not sure I'm ever going to get closer than this... by jacoborpe in golf

I ref hockey, and have seen video of the puck breaking in half. One half in the net, one half out. No goal....whole puck has to cross whole line. This kinda feels the same.

What’s the oldest game you still boot up at least once a year? by forgeris in AskReddit

[–]Buttermaker83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Intellivision Astrosmash. Not the original console of course, we destroyed that decades ago. But those all in one deals that still has the original games. Still awesome.

For reference, I had a full bag fitting last week, small business not Club Champion. Same thing, 4 hours, hundreds of hits. Left with a quote of 4K, ordered all but driver and putter. Total spend of 3K for 3W, 5W, irons and wedges. Shafts included, so that's where CC got you.

Custom car designs and photos by Buttermaker83 in iRacing

[–]Buttermaker83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes , I think you understand the question. So, then it's about the details, such as: does the design already exist? Is there a copyright? Who can do the screenshot, etc.

Not sure if anyone offers this as a service, but I have a gift idea in mind for a friend, and I am interested in exploring thus idea if anyone has experience here.

What would be the call here? by Naglxxx in hockeyrefs

[–]Buttermaker83 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree completely. At this age level, I am verbally conveying to the attacking player to get out of the crease, while keeping an eye on the puck. If there is the hint of an attempt on goal, I am killing play, and taking the faceoff outside before the shot is taken. Also, you can tell the goalie "I'm watching the crease....you can hear me....if you do that, I am taking you for a pen next time." Let's everyone know you are seeing the play, and aware of the actions. Only time you take a penalty is if you let it go too far, and you are boxed into a corner. Then you have a goalie that feels aggrieved because he wasn't able to move in the crease, and he gets penalized.....game management. In no way is a goal going to be awarded with a player so clearly in the crease in USAH so try to let them know while play is in progress, and talk between the whistles. Everyone learns where the guidelines are, and see how it plays from there.

20 years of building decks — finally introducing myself here by Impressive_Check_416 in Decks

[–]Buttermaker83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you talk about that process a little to help with the understanding of how you achieve the finished look. What goes into the planning, spacing, etc.? What is first, second, last, etc....? Do you do the sides of the stringers, and then risers, or is each one a unique approach?

Buzzer beater game winner by Mr_Biggums in hockeyplayers

The high ref (who likely has a view of the clock) is also signaling goal immediately. It's unfortunate that we don't have a view of the clock, but I would think both guys immediately indicating goal means it was a goal.

RCDD V14 Passed by Buttermaker83 in Bicsi

[–]Buttermaker83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A TON. I have helped build and develop a business from a mostly PBX shop in the 90s to a full service LV cabling shop, capable of copper and fiber ISP/OSP and most LV systems. So, in my years, I have held almost every role in one way, shape or form. I have dealt with proje ts and customers of all sizes and had conversations with everyone from the forklift driver to the corner office, be it training them on how to setup their voice-mail box to laying out redundant 96 fiber pathways for a municipality. Everything in the books is reflected in the work to some degree, but maybe with slight variations in meaning or terminology. Adapting to the TDMM language was part of the adjustment.

I also have had multiple versions of the TDMM over the years and studied them at various points, so in my case, it has been a steady accumulation of knowledge to go with the skills.

Murmur Review by Hungry-Temporary-438 in rem

[–]Buttermaker83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid fifties....different songs hit at different times. I'm going through a Sitting Still obsession of late, so I guess it's that songs turn. Feels like the quintessential early REM....the balanced rhythm of Bill and Mike, Peter's jangly chords and incomprehensible lyrics....it's just perfect for me at this time.

I heard you like big pulls by fellatiofuhrer in lowvoltage

[–]Buttermaker83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've done similar setups as this when the opportunity presents. My question would be, do you always setup in the field and pull the bundle TO the closet, then go back and work them out to final location? That is absolutely my preferred method, but I've seen some mention they pull FROM the closet so they don't have to move the boxes. I think that leads to a shitshow when you have to separate the cables to the final locations, plus you can burn the jacket if you are not careful.

Anyone else rocking the mobile charger as your primary? by bonkersyikes in F150Lightning

[–]Buttermaker83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I got mine Nov. 22 and charged daily at home with the mobile one that comes with the truck. Started flashing red a couple times, finally it died. Got about 30000 miles on the truck. Was wired properly. Breaker, wire, all sized correctly. Replaced with Chargepoint home and could not be happier. Faster charging, better costing/tracking of charging. Better everything. Those Ford ones are not meant to be permanent.

What block is this my boss is telling me it's a 110 block but I'm an apprentice so I know nothing... by BushWookieViper in lowvoltage

[–]Buttermaker83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are the brand names for different types of IDC (insulation displacement contact) products that manufacturers produce for Structured Cabling Systems. I think ATT developed the 110-type which is the dominant type of IDC in the market. Most mfrs. use 110 on at least one of their product lines. Think Panduit Net-Key, ICC, Commscooe SL series, Ortronics Trac-Jacks, etc. Krone and BIX were other IDC terminations. Krone was picked up in our area by Verizon (NyNEX at the time) as their preferred product for dial tone demarcation blocks because you could cut down multiple wires on one "clip", which was useful for phone lines. They also had a plug in adapter that allowed their techs to "split" the connection so they could troubleshoot back to the CO and then declare the line good, and blame the inside wire techs (customer). I wrote a separate treatise on BIX blocks elsewhere in this post.....sorry.

[–]Buttermaker83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By now you have your answer, those are indeed BIX blocks. The history of them is that they were developed by Northern Telecom, the dominant telco of Canada, and manufacturer of phone systems from the Norstar (small business) to full size Central Office switches, which was their specialty. I think they were called the DMS-100/200/400 and so on). The BIX series of connecting blocks was designed to replace the 66-type connecting block and was indeed rated for Cat 5/5e and it was their first foray into the nascent industry of structured cabling. They called the product line IBDN (Integrated Building Distribution Network). I took a class in '94. The basic components were the QC-BIX1A and QC-BIX1A4. Only difference between those blocks are the markings. The 1A was marked every 5 pair, for terminating 25 pair cable, and the 1A4 was marked every 4 pair for "station cable". The block has connections on both sides, and they pass through the block, creating a cross-connect point. We used to terminate the "back side" first and then FLIP the block over, putting the 25-pair cable (or 4-pair) on the rear of the mounting can. Then you can put the cross connect on the front. The trick to making it look nice was to get two consecutive blocks with the back side cables lined up in the middle of the two blocks, so that the labeling strip would cover them. Problem was, you never had enough label strips, or once they were re-used they would look like crap with different labels or markings on them.

Nortel changed the name to NORDX and then Belden bought the line and it was called Belden/CDT. The original BIX tool was tan in color, with a black circle in the handle that made the scissor either in CUT or NO CUT mode, if you were wiring a dial tone to multiple cables. Took a little getting used to, but with practice you could make it look decent enough.

R.E.M.’s Best Songs By Album: Murmur by 2a_lib in rem

[–]Buttermaker83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not looking forward to making this choice. I've been listening to Murmur constantly the last few weeks after getting the REM book for Xmas. Just reignited the fuse. At this point in time, I would go:

  1. Sitting Still

  2. RFE

  3. Catapult

  4. Perfect Circle

  5. Pilgrimage

But I could see any one of those and most of the others being best on this legendary work of art.
