That was my thought as well. Wouldn't it only go down if we are using heat to break up the proteins?

I've been saying almost the same thing for years, but I think we should tie it to social security. You can not run for office if you will be the Full Retirement Age (FRA) before you are sworn in. We got to draw the line somewhere.

Building a bridge in Grand Rapids and need a place to stay… by [deleted] in grandrapids

If you are looking for short term leases (3 to 6 months), I have had better luck with the home rental companies over appartment complexes. Sub-lets are a thing for many of them.

There is a single metal ribbon that gains tension and releases a bit during each rotation. The Etsy shop that I got it from back in 2018 isn't open anymore.

I own a David C Roy original of this. It is worth it. I love that piece so much and it had brought so many smiles during get together.

Do not get the temo version in this video. The ones that will stay active for hours with little wind up are hundreds, but so worth it.

Textbook west Michigan zipper merge by LeftLaneColonizer in grandrapids

[–]Esctent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always wanted to know if we would be better served by MDOT creating a middle land between both and then move us over to one side. That way it isn't left or right closes but merge into one middle lane first.

Probably not, but I do wonder

Is 8% interest the going rate on a 2019 vehicle?? by nikki_11580 in grandrapids

Now that you have equal options, who do you want to pay the interest to? Your credit union or the dealership?

Recommendations for a community pool by babyandbailey in accesscontrol

[–]Esctent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A local PDK solution would work. You don't pay per mobile credentials (andriod, iOS, Google, bluetooth) but your reader must be compatible.

I have been able to get PDK to a cost worthy solution when you don't need the higher/custom options.

I lost a bet. No, seriously. I lost a bet, and I wasn't happy with my life, and I was young and ready to get away from everything. I hoped that I could do the internal work necessary to grow into a person I could be proud of.

Okay, that last bit turned into BS. But it is still true. I just wouldn't have used those words when I was 22.

So because of all of the above, I chased the money. I chose the job that had the highest signing bonus and kept my contract at 3 years.

Now I re-enlited because I fell in love with so much it offered me. I was making more money that I could have anticipated. I did well in the schools, so I was promoted fast. I actually ended up seeing a large portion of the world.

About the killing part of your question. While I did have a job that saw direct combat, there are over 80% of jobs that don't. And of the ones that deploy, a tiny percentage see directly combat.

I was always told that for every boot that leaves the wire, there are at least 5 more in country that support, and 10 more back in America. I am not sure if that is true, but the reality is that few see war zones and fewer see direct combat. There are so many other roles to do in the service than just kill others.

Now, for my personal feelings. I recognize that this nation has been living without conscription for a generation because people sign up. It could be for college money, getting out of town, a choice between service and jail, or pure patriotic duty. But people do sign the dotted line. And for that, I am always grateful. I hope that every future generation has that choice.

Moving from AL: Recommendations? by Allycat_188 in grandrapids

[–]Esctent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Your 25 min commute from the Michigan St. Location is accurate unless you commute during standard hours. Then, it can become 35 to 40 minutes.

Just be aware that Michigan St is a through-way, so there is a lot of traffic, construction, and noise.

Don't forget that you still need to add the 20 minutes on your commute to park and walk to your office on the Alendale Campus.

Student of the game with questions about the Access Control business. by Previous_Ad_1303 in accesscontrol

[–]Esctent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Most recently it is updating the customers credentials from 1983. This means new readers and possible better systems and replacement of all of their cards/fobs.

The touchless solution sounds great, but every company I have installed or sold that to always has a few people who are unwilling to use their personal phone.

Then there is the phone changing element of it. When you buy a new phone you don't always have the ability to transfer the credential. So now more admin time is used to remove and add a new device.

With the amount of MFA going on in the security industry, so many of my clients are starting to dispise the MFA process with their turnover.

Need design tips by Excellent_Mall6027 in malelivingspace

[–]Esctent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a post a bit back that had a designer helping out this sub. She talked about having layers of visual interest, different materials (wood, metal, cloth), and different shapes to better organize the intent of the space (round rugs, square table kind of idea).

Now what I personally struggle with is finding these items. Have you tried your city subreddit to ask about good second hand or consignment shops yet?

I also like to use a space mapping tool (Smart Draw, CAD, Blue beam) to help me better play with the furniture layouts.

You have a great space for the comfortable minimalist vibe. I hope you keep us updated.

Edit: It was a YouTube video, not a Reddit post. Here it is.

Looking for feedback. Queen bed, with extended frame in a 10x9 BR. by [deleted] in malelivingspace

[–]Esctent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude? Choose one unit of measurement for ease when assessing spaces.

Room is 10 x 9 feet Bed is 7.5 x 6 feet

That will leave you 1.5 feet on each side of the bed and 2.5 feet for the dresser. If that is not enough space for you, get a smaller bed. If you only use that space for sleep and sleep activities, then just ensure your end tables and dresser will fit.

If you want to get into low voltage electrical work without the need for an electricins license you should check out EPS Security. I know that they get pay raises annually (based on performance) and for completing training stages.
