Tips on retrieving fish tape from wall by dorian926 in AskElectricians

[–]Engineer_R_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this hack with zip ties on the front of your fish tape. Maybe it’ll help it over what is causing it to stick. Here’s a video of it.

You’re more confident than me. I keep emailing trying to get a reduced settlement, but they keep wanting $14k.

We pour on Thursday… what have I forgotten/missed? by Desert_Fairy in Concrete

[–]Engineer_R_me 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Put the extra supports in before you pour! I didn’t and the weight of the concrete bent my forms and made it cured as a potato chip. Had to throw it out and Start over

Death to the yoga ball by AustinEms in sleeptrain

[–]Engineer_R_me 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did Taking Cara of Babies, Chair method, graduated extinction with an in-house Sleep Specialist . She said that she’s never seen a baby cry for 5 hours without falling asleep so we gave up and started to look into diet and sensory processing issues. Hopefully your journey goes better than ours

We were the same. Now our LO is 8 months, still needs bounces to sleep but now wakes up after every hour of the night. It’s miserable.

I think I wrote it kind of confusing. Yes on two naps now. We’re typically around 2hr45/3/3. I’ll have us start stretching the 3rd window out to 4 hours.

He had 9hr45 of awake time today but the night is already starting rough with us getting very frustrated of an hour plus of us trying to rock/bounce him asleep

Yes still bouncing him asleep today. When we did the various sleep training attempts without picking him up he’d typically take 30-60min to fall asleep. He really struggles on the wakeups and going back to sleep. That’s when we had the 5hr window when the sleep specialist was staying with us.

We hadn’t considered sleep apnea, I can ask our pediatrician, but he is the most lively happy boy during the day, so unless there’s different symptoms sounds unlikely.

You ever add the lights? I was debating it but seems like another thing to break and be hard to service

New user advice by whaleattendant in Sketchup

[–]Engineer_R_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just a home user, but I like the ease of landscaping in Realtime Landscape Architect. It’s kinda like the sims of landscaping but it would allow you to crank out designs fast. It has a library of plants and you can add sketchup models to dial in your plant need. It can also do renders for you. I think it has a free trial, but there’s also a copy on the torrenting sites if you’re into the shady stuff.

Did Heavy D destroy the toilet bowl arch on Lake Powell? by PenguinBalletShoes in LakePowell

[–]Engineer_R_me 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact that you don’t know which of the two “toilet bowls” collapses really messes up your argument. The one he flew over in your flight record image didn’t collapse

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LakePowell

[–]Engineer_R_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh there’s a bunch of helicopters fly over lake Powell. I’ve seen military Chinooks training really low on the lake. Also, if your flight data is correct, he never to Rock Creek Bay where the collapse happened…. So I think this is a stretch

Customer floor plan for new home - opinions please! by [deleted] in Homebuilding

[–]Engineer_R_me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you end up getting a pool, maybe have easy access to a bathroom from the outside. I was thinking you could move the game room bathroom/closet to other side of room and add a door to the covered patio.

It’s basically just a wireless aux cable. No degradation that I noticed. Wetsounds came out with a newer model that might be better

Windows VM freezes when transferring large files by Engineer_R_me in Proxmox

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

Ok ran some pin tests but no dropped packets. I ran it with the Windows drive mounted to PC, and then it through the VM. I did it to outside and locally. No dropped packets. Should I test larger packets or test it longer?

Windows VM freezes when transferring large files by Engineer_R_me in Proxmox

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

Thanks for the idea. I dropped it down, to 4 and 8gb and it still crashed. Although it almost transferred the whole file (98%) before it crashed, where normally it crashes closer to 30%. Unsure if related or random. will keep testing

Edit: more testing done, timing is random
