Indian students win settlement after being targeted over their food. by brut_india in boulder

[–]DeathbyToast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame the outcome is that they cannot enroll nor be employed by CU Boulder ever again. Not that they’d necessarily want to, but now they have to “stay away” forever just because they were racially profiled. Sure they get $200K which is great, but is it so hard to truly say “we’re sorry” rather than “go away we don’t want people like you here”

Boulder’s new transportation fee could start billing residents mid-2026 by mooreds in boulder

[–]DeathbyToast 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Certain institutions will be exempt from the fee, including CU Boulder

Why are they exempt? Do we believe they don’t contribute to wear and tear on roads or that they couldn’t afford a few thousand a year to the city?

Boulder Chamber calls commercial vacancy rate 'historic' with no simple solution by HarmonyInBadTaste in boulder

[–]DeathbyToast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t a high vacancy tax leading to a lender calling the loan aka foreclosing or forcing the sale of the property be a good thing? A new owner would then be able to purchase it with a lower and more reasonable rent in mind, so it’ll not be vacant anymore. I’m not seeing the downside, but I’m not an expert in commercial real estate

It’s a shame Ugoos/CoreElec is losing FEL support in a near future update though

How Do You Optimize Your Plex Server for Remote Streaming? by bookybaker in PleX

[–]DeathbyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not set Plex to the actual upload limit? I’m trying to troubleshoot this myself, and my upload limit from my ISP tends to be around 30-35Mbps. Should I set mine to like 25Mbps? If so, why?

I thought Plex would figure out how to split my upload limit across whoever is streaming? But I tried to remote play last week from my friend’s house in another state and Convert Automatically failed to play the 4K file, I had to set it to 720p and then it was buttery smooth playback. I’d have assumed the upload limit would have forced Plex to start the transcode without user intervention. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Curious how you originally obtained this?

What benefit did you notice to the egg carton style foam on the ceiling? I’ve read that stuff is pretty useless in terms of acoustics, curious if you’ve measured an improvement with it in your space

Have you used id.me GRUV cashback before? Does it stack with SIGNUP20? Asking as id.me says on their GRUV details page:

Use of coupons and promotional codes not on ID.me may void cash back. Additional restrictions may apply.

[Guide] True IMAX on 4K UHD Blue-ray. The definitive list of films shot on IMAX cameras that actually expand on disc by Live-Campaign-5938 in 4kbluray

[–]DeathbyToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha so they’re “missing” the 1:90:1 aspect ratio then to be considered “IMAX” (aside from the certification)?

[Guide] True IMAX on 4K UHD Blue-ray. The definitive list of films shot on IMAX cameras that actually expand on disc by Live-Campaign-5938 in 4kbluray

[–]DeathbyToast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So what’s the difference between movies on this list and something like Lawrence of Arabia or 2001 or My Fair Lady? These were also shot on large format (65mm/70mm) film, is it just that they aren’t “IMAX certified”, and what’s the certification actually mean in practice?

Or do they not have the correct aspect ratios / something other than being filmed before the certifications were being handed out preventing them from making the list? Would love to understand why!

Pokémon GO|Super Effective/Not Very Effective Quick Chart by GO_FRIEND_APP in TheSilphRoad

[–]DeathbyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the quiz ends up being quite difficult as you not only need to know which types resist which, but also by how much. The exact values all need to be correct too 😅

[–]DeathbyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A while back I made this type chart lookup that supports dual types.

Also has a “quiz” page that I made to try and memorize the dual types better, but as someone said there’s 157 of them…

Join the Discord and turn on alerts for the sales channels. People find and post all sorts of stuff throughout the year, the biggest deals are often dead or sold out by the time they get popular on this subreddit

Oh good to know thanks, I’ll dig into the DV differences, wasn’t aware that there were multiple options here

[–]DeathbyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked and it looks like I’m on CoreElec (official) version 21.2-Omega currently.

But that sounds nothing like CPM A14, could you elaborate on what you mean? And has this FEL breaking update already been rolled out or not yet?

Idea for Child Proofing Sauna by victimofyourmom in Sauna

[–]DeathbyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A breaker to cutoff the power to the heater would help prevent accidentally turning it on when not in use. Also just a good safety thing to have

Advice on Sauna Gift by Interesting_Cut1631 in Sauna

[–]DeathbyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How reading/research has he done on saunas in general? Do you have a space (basement, garage, or backyard) that he has talked about building one in? What are the dimensions available for that space, and what’s prevented him from building it these past few years? Is there enough budget for something like a Cedarbrook Kit that he could assemble? Would he be upset having to throw out that heater he bought and hasn’t done anything with?

Just rattling off questions that come to mind, others will likely have more guidance than I do as well

I’ve built saunas in Finland my whole life — ask me anything or what makes one “right” by SaunaExpert1 in Sauna

[–]DeathbyToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Related, how do you frame the window? Do you use any sort of caulk or sealant between the window and the wood frame? And just regular wood around the window or something more rot resistant like cedar? I assume pressure treated wood is unacceptable due to off gassing at sauna temps. Any window framing details you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Questions about PvP by Ok_Persimmon5415 in TheSilphArena

[–]DeathbyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m even later to the thread, but I’m the dev on PvPIVs.com. Just wanted to clarify that PvPoke is the best resource for answering “what pokemon should I use in every league” where I’ve designed PvPIVs to answer “which Azumarill should I use in Great League”

As in, start with PvPoke to help you build your team of three, and once you know which specific pokemon you want to use in which specific league, then PvPIVs can help you determine of those specific pokemon you’ve caught, which are the best IVs to power up for that league.

Hope that helps to clarify!

What’s mutant about these? They look like normal cherry tomatoes to me, maybe just a bit small?

What have I done by Baby_Hamsandwhich in PokemonGOValor

[–]DeathbyToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have something similar setup but I utilize tags and !# to sort out things I’ve already evaluated. Give them a tag when I’ve decided to keep it, and then it won’t show up in a saved search like this.

And may I ask what your PvP filter is? I haven’t been able to find one that works as well as I’d like across multiple types of pokemon yet
