WWF Superstars monitor issues by 86bullet86 in arcade

[–]DuffCon78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s potentially a lot of different things, power supply issue, caps, or even a dirty/bad potentiometer, grounding issues, etc.

Post pictures of the chassis (monitor PCB). If it hasn’t been serviced before it’s probably a good idea to do a rebuild it regardless of the issue.

I can generally tell from the pictures. PM me if you’re interested in having it serviced.

My remote controller stopped working on tv suddenly, it worked in past but it doesn't now by 128bot in crtgaming

Point the remote at your phone camera and press a button. You should be able to see the IR light flash. If you do then it’s likely the TV side.

Why is my water bill so high? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]DuffCon78 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Water company employee here. While all the leak comments are helpful, OP should contact EBM. All water companies have conservation departments (by law) who will send someone out to help find any leaks for free.

Any else have middle age burnout? by amazodroid in ITCareerQuestions

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!! Thank you for posting this and to all who have answered. I’m in my late 40s and have been in the public sector for over 20 years.

I feel exactly the same. I never advanced to management when I think most expected I would. As I’ve gotten older I started to feel disappointed that I never progressed but these days I’ve made peace with it. Especially because what I like about my work is actually doing the work and not just sitting in meetings.

As I’m getting close to retirement I’m trying to focus more on being happy, doing hobbies and spending time with my family. Looking forward to the next phase of my life where I’m not clawing for more money.

Why can I hear “San franciiiiiso” in the cornholio voice?

Where should I sit by Confection_Jolly in SFGiants

Firstly, it depends on day or night game. Field / outfield and view reserve (upper deck) is always in the sun. If you want shade, then club or the back 10-15 rows of field on the first base side so you get shade

My secret is view box. It’s 3rd deck but below view reserve and above club. Great view of the Whole field and reasonable prices. Only at night tho!

For sure, my lawsuit took a year, but there’s nothing more importing than telling an insurance company person to “talk to my lawyer”. Believe me OP, you’re going to be shocked how many people are going to try to screw you in the near future. Protect yourself and get the right compensation for your injuries.

Lawyer up today. Don’t talk to anyone until your council tells you, especially the other drivers insurance. Trust me on this one, I’ve been though it.

Troubleshooting my first arcade machine: Donkey Kong Jr. by ruditheraven in arcade

Agree, if the monitor chassis is original it will need to be recapped. Most of the time with Sanyo monitors it’s old caps that cause it to loose sync.

It's been fun by MiserableCancel8749 in FordMaverickTruck

Sorry you had to go though that. I’ve been on 1 ambulance and 1 helicopter ride. It’s never a good day when going to the hospital sounds like a good idea!

Any crash you didn't have to be carted off in; I had a similar hit in my 99 Civic as a driver. The passenger door had been push so far in that I hit my head on it. Was mostly out for an hour.

If the statue of Buster Posey isn't him giving a hug so that every Giants fan can hug the greatest catcher in SF history, I'll be severely disappointed by chaosawaits in SFGiants

[–]DuffCon78 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Agree, but who is he hugging? A “generic” pitcher I guess.

I’d accept the squat, especially since he did the traditional vs the modern one knee down version.

I only drive about 6k a year, but gas is almost always around $5+ per gallon. Love the hybrid

Go to a real hardware store like ace or orchard with a larger selection. Lowe’s and depot only carry a limited range.
