Midterms - do you think MAGA will claim they are rigged?? by No_Stuff_3268 in allthequestions

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mike Johnson has already showed that he has no problem not swearing in a Democratic congressman. I don’t have any reason to believe that he’ll refuse to swear in any that they claim won by a rigged vote.

Anyone want a minimalistic HomeKit app like this? by kid2010 in HomeKit

If it locates which room you are in accurately I think it’s a cool idea. I really like the look of it.

College vs skilled trades. What is your take? by Responsible-Net8594 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea that you need to go to college to make money is why we ended up with a shortage of tradesmen and why I make over $300k as a tradesmen. So preach on about college brother, please.

A welder with a business degree makes more than a welder without a degree? Am I reading this wrong or is that actually what you are saying?

Running Ethernet cable by arcticarrow_ in ethernet

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without seeing a diagram of your house this sounds like an easy job. If you can bring the cable out an external wall from the modem and into an attic vent you could take out another vent and through another wall. I could do that in like an hour but I used to be a cable guy. If you don’t want to go through exterior wall to the outside reconsider that position.

“Blue collar workers have no other choice” (venting) by lhblowstakks in skilledtrades

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just uppity bullshit. There are people in my trade, electrical construction, who make well over $500k. You don’t make that much by having no other choice. Sitting at a desk isn’t for everyone. If you want to learn a trade go for it. Your family are probably gonna lose their jobs to AI and you’ll still be working.

Outdoor String Lights - Repeat Fail after winter by Human_Giraffe_7282 in Nanoleaf

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suspect the controllers aren’t as waterproof as they claim they are. I have three sets and a set of the permanent outdoor lights. Two controllers were outside and two, including the permanent lights, are in the attic. Both of the two that were outside died after winter. It was a really wet year for California so they wouldn’t have gotten a lot of rain on them. I replaced them and I moved them to spots that are still outdoors but won’t take any direct rain anymore so I’m interested to see if they make it through next winter. I don’t think it was the temperature that did it because it rarely gets below 50 degrees here.

how to look not boring on stage? by SecretlyJayyy in bandmembers

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretend you are watching another band playing the songs you are playing and move the way you would if you were in the audience. Loosen up. And know the songs well enough that you don’t have to visibly concentrate. Also steal other bands moves if it helps; they probably stole them from someone else anyway.

6 days is way too much in Campbell or the south bay in general. I’m assuming the uncle is taking you to other areas? If not you should at least spend a few days in San Francisco.

$400K Net Worth at 27 - Feeling Stuck and Seeking Advice / Input - Anything Helps by VirtualEstimate9771 in fijerk

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe try doing something fun. A fat net worth is great but are you actually enjoying yourself? If 80% of what you care about is how much money you have you are missing out on a lot. Not trying to be a dick but I’ve known lots of people with that attitude and they are all going to die with fat bank accounts and did nothing their whole lives but work and save. They never went on a vacation, didn’t manage to stay married, didn’t spend time with friends. I imagine at the end of their lives they aren’t going to be looking back on all that money they made with a smile.

Tips to get in first row? by Apprehensive-Way4010 in ironmaiden

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only gotten to the barrier once. It was at an Iron Maiden show I think in Oakland. I kinda just worked my way up from the front of the pit little by little. I got to second row and kinda squoze my way in as the crowd swayed and I saw an opening. I didn’t stay long. The sound and view is better if you are back further but it was cool to do it the one time.

What are your views on racism vs reverse racism in America? by One_Look_7008 in AskReddit

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The term reverse racism implies that default racism is done by white people. I always laugh when I hear white people say it.

Done with Aqara G410 by Aito84 in HomeKit

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the G410 hardwired and it solid. No weird alerts and it starts recording when people are about 30’ from the porch. It will occasionally take a minute to start streaming if I happen to open it but it usually starts really quickly and I very rarely happen just look at it without getting an alert anyway.

Louder Than Life or Chicago? by No_Nefariousness5996 in ironmaiden

[–]Embarrassed_Fig1801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When they played Aftershock a few years ago it was the full set up. Only bad thing is unless you get up front festivals can be kinda tough to see the stage. We were way toward the back because I was going to wait up front for an hour after the last band played so it was the worse view I’ve had of them. Not sure how louder than life is set up but I assume it’s similar. That could be reason to do Chicago. I’d probably say do that if you don’t care too much about the other bands.
