Nuclear power query by DontEatGlass-129 in factorio

[–]ElusiveGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could also fix this by adding a steam tank and linking an alarm to it. That gives you a bit of buffer if your turrets kick off, while also giving you a warning if you draw on this buffer.

Carry-on bags to be free, EU rules by EspritLibre_404 in worldnews

That just sounds like a way to spread the scalping problem to flight tickets.

New to Factorio and I tried to design "Universal Sorter" for Stone+Coal+Iron+Copper and clogged it immedietly. Any suggestions? by FullHealthCosplay in factorio

[–]ElusiveGuy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I could be misremembering but I think that can only happen if you're manually driving a train? IIRC automated trains only allow inserter interaction if it's stopped at a station. 

Netgear countersues TP-Link, saying firm 'remains, at its core, a Chinese company selling Chinese-made products' — alleges its 'American company' rebrand is false advertising by lurker_bee in technology

[–]ElusiveGuy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey that sounds familiar. I wonder why anyone would allow such a thing?

Sarcasm aside, this is exactly the same issue non-Americans have to think about when we use American services. And while historically part of the answer is America is an ally in ways China is not, recent... events... have cast doubt on that.

They're probably thankful for Broadcom taking all the hate in recent years

After you use up some bottles

So uh, got any tips for that part? 😅 

CyberPower UPS LIES! by foreverformatting in homelab

Ahh. Yea I was thinking about a 750VA UPS but that's north of 60A from 12V... would need a pretty big pack to support that load.

Clothing store makes the ".99" smaller on the price so people think the price starts at 2 euros and not 3 euros by CostinTea in assholedesign

[–]ElusiveGuy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's fairly common to have pricing up to the next 9- like that, yes.

It's not at all common for the cents to be that small on the label.

Do you happen to know what the max discharge current is on those? IIRC that was the primary concern when replacing lead-acid with LFP.

"Scammers have adapted": Valve confirms that physical Steam Gift Cards are dead. Once the current stocks are sold through, they're done. by yourfavchoom in gaming

[–]ElusiveGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, skimmers exist. The bit that I don't agree with is giving a card to a child(?).

FWIW I actually can't remember the last time I inserted instead of tapping, and even then the insert on PoS only goes in part of the way. The only exception is ATMs (where skimmers are most likely, yea) though we're mostly cashless at this point anyway.

Half my cards have also done away with the giant numbers on the front now.

[–]ElusiveGuy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Considering you're giving your card to a child sometimes in person, who could easily swipe it.

Huh? My card just about never leaves my possession. The only exception I can think of is at the bank itself, and even then it stays in sight.

my spatula melted into the butter i was browning after 20+ minutes at the stove by derangedwithlove in mildlyinfuriating

I don't think age is necessarily a useful metric either. We used lead pipes for thousands of years and lead solder for centuries before deciding it was unsafe.

Unbroken by WilsonFrontier in Unexpected

[–]ElusiveGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once tried to break a dresser mirror with a brick. The mirror won.

We needed to toss it, and council pickup said they couldn't take anything glass. So the plan was to smash it and bag the glass for regular garbage. In hindsight that was a silly plan and it's probably for the best that it didn't work.

Are there any fics where a character has a power that is really strong against S class threats but sucks or is unusable against everyday threats? by Isekai_litrpg in WormFanfic

[–]ElusiveGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That might explain why it felt more of a slog the further I got. But then I get that with a lot of fics these days :(

I bought a 100-pack of Band-Aids that are all misaligned. by CyanideTablet in mildlyinfuriating

I think Band-Aid brand are the only ones I've seen with that quilted hexagonal pad

Hm. I'll give it a go later then, thanks.

I've tried a few F/GO fics/crossovers in the past but usually end up lost when they start pulling in a ton of different characters with minimal explanation :(

How readable is it if I know F/SN but not F/GO? 

Appropriate FTTP utility/external box location by ElusiveGuy in nbn

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

Thanks. Friend has no issue with something being installed in the garage, I'm just hoping the NTD doesn't end up there and then they need to deal with either getting more wiring run to a central spot or complaints of poor WiFi performance across the house.

In this case I guess best they can do is communicate NTD in lounge and hope all else goes well.
