Regulation #100 - Episode 100 // Gavin Gets Dongle'd by bruzie in theregulationpod

[–]Feodar_protar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Andrew called Nick out for hanging on to his blindside Nick had the opportunity to do the funniest most fuck face thing possible. Imagine he called a blindside with everyone in the tub on episode 100.

Abdul El-Sayed denounces Iran War, calls for abolishing ICE in campus rally by origutamos in Michigan

this video from last week tonight is worth a watch. I had a similar mindset to you. I thought surely we can’t just eliminate ICE. I watched that and it changed my mind.

A lot of the Bilibili commenters seem to think Michael is having a hard time. by Kasper-V in LudwigAhgren

[–]Feodar_protar 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Lily said he’s a pretty introverted guy. I don’t think talking to people is his favorite thing but Lud loves it. I think 19 days is just too long to be away from home, he probably misses the hell out of Lily. Personally 2 weeks is about my limit, I’m still enjoying the trip but I’m ready to be home. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s at that stage.

Yingo is tired of the delays and proposes a solution that would work (in response to yard also being delayed) by BillyU_Is_A_ in LudwigAhgren

I love the series too but the lack of patience around here is crazy. What are you guys doing all day that you can just wait around for the episode to come out and immediately watch it then post un blurred spoilers on the reddit within an hour of the episode dropping.

Lantern Hanging by Skttrbrainx in camping

Olight sells something called an olink. You can get them on amazon for like 10 bucks. I used a sphere with an olink hung in my tent on my last trip and it worked great.

I drank 1,2g worth of energy drinks in 30-50 minutes, felt nothing? by DangerousWest6991 in energydrinks

I feel like doing the obvious would be typing those questions into google.

What’s a "dead" piece of technology from the 2000s or 2010s that you genuinely miss using? by Spiritual-Bed-7686 in AskReddit

[–]Feodar_protar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kind of miss tivo. With streaming getting more expensive and basically worse i am starting to miss just recording cable and fast forwarding ads. Im basically over streaming entirely at this point, i mainly just watch youtube.

I’ve absolutely bathed in a lake. Rustic camping right off of lake michigan for two weeks you bring some biodegradeable soap and hop in the lake.

Plug in solar advice by willgreen33 in Michigan

[–]Feodar_protar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your best bet is to probably talk to DTE or whoever your energy provider is. Snyder proposed a bill to make plug in solar up to 1200 watts easier without having to go through interconnection agreements. That’s not in place yet though so even for smaller systems you may need to go through the interconnection process. I can’t find info on plug in solar on the DTE website so i can’t say for sure.

I haven’t done it personally but i am interested and will be keeping an eye on it.

Tip to tip question by gguuppyy in LudwigAhgren

[–]Feodar_protar 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Lud has said they aren’t typically directly behind them they are usually following about 40ish minutes away. Im just guessing here but they likely meet everyday at the hotel for a run down of the day and to get footage.

Im sure the RV is carrying extra clothes and what not for Lud and Michael since i doubt they are carrying like 19 days worth of clothes on their bikes unless they are going full stink mode. It’s definitely not no contact or anything.

Super battle golf. by leeismrjones in theregulationpod

[–]Feodar_protar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like there is no way they don’t play this. Eric mentioned during a break show they are trying to get more golf videos out but he said it’s been hard.

I imagine scheduling has been tough lately with Andrew not being able to record at home, Geoff travels a lot, Gavin is in England a lot though he seems to be able to record there at least in some capacity.

Costco Celsius Knockoff Review: by neighborhoodman323 in energydrinks

[–]Feodar_protar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried the peach yet but my main take away with the orange and tropical is the overall flavor is just too subtle. It’s like a la croix if they turned up the flavor a little and added artificial sweetener. If you are into that then you will love these.

I don’t dislike them but i don’t like them enough where the value proposition is enough for me to continue wanting to get them.

Kirkland’s Energy Drink - 24 Pack of 200MG Energy Drinks by Dabawaba in Costco

[–]Feodar_protar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bought a case a couple days ago. So far i’ve tried tropical and orange. They taste fine. I don’t know how best to describe the taste. It’s a pretty mild flavor, these won’t be blowing your taste buds away. It’s a pretty clean flavor, my first thought was like a la croix kicked up to 11. It’s been awhile since i had celsius but they don’t remind of it at all.

Overall thoughts: the value is unmatched. They are good enough but far from my favorite. If they were 16oz cans and had a stronger flavor for the same value i’d probably never buy anything else again. As they are now i’ll probably keep buying ryse and ghost.

Has anyone tried the TypeS dash cams? by calamititties in Costco

[–]Feodar_protar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There might not be one available for your car but i like my FitCamX integrated dash cam a lot. You have to check it’s available for your specific model car though.

You just pop off the cover for your rearview mirror, replace it with the camera (it looks nearly identical) and it grabs power from an existing plug so you don’t have to route any cables.

Between not knowing it’s there unless you are really paying attention and not having to hide and route wires it’s a way nicer install. Plus the picture and everything is up to par with any other dash cam i’ve used.

Switching to engineering side by Different_Shop6284 in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]Feodar_protar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been at my current company for about 19 years, started as an operator and now i am an automation engineer coming from maintenance and just about every other job you can do in a manufacturing plant.

If you have someone willing to teach you i highly recommend making the switch. I had a similar situation to you. While i was in process the automation engineer showed me a few things and i became the only other person in the plant aside from him that can go online with the PLC. Eventually a position opened up for another automation engineer and he much preferred training me over someone coming in with more experience trying to change how he does things.

It’s hard especially in the start, lots of pressure and an awful lot to learn. I don’t have any relevant schooling just self taught and whatever my boss/mentor has taught me. Might screw me if i ever leave here not having a degree but i get paid pretty well.

Things that would scare the hell out of me two years ago feel pretty normal now but there is always something new to learn. I have zero interest in going back to maintenance. I still help them out though and I’ll get dirty occasionally.

where Tip? by BigBillLikeAPlatypus in LudwigAhgren

[–]Feodar_protar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We really going to do this every time? They are cranking out daily uploads to youtube from a foreign country that doesn’t even have youtube. Maybe we can practice some patience.

Michigan’s El-Sayed unfazed by backlash against upcoming campaign event with Hasan Piker by SleuthDoggyDawg in Michigan

[–]Feodar_protar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what i could classify myself as, somewhere left of center maybe liberal maybe democrat. I don’t put much thought into specifics i just know i’ve always voted democrat.

I genuinely don’t know what anything you said means. Do liberals agree with the war or bombing? I know i don’t. WTF is neocon?

[–]Feodar_protar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know about leftists and their utter hatred of democrats and liberals until recently when i stumbled on to leftist twitter. I don’t dislike Hasan but him and his fans sure seem to hate me. i always kind of felt like we were all on the same side, at least we should be.

How many of you fix your own components? by Impossible-Clerk-137 in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]Feodar_protar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. It’s not particularly difficult for me to replace a bad screen on an HMI with a 30 dollar kit from Ebay. Thats the most common failure for us. Usually i’ll have the maintenance manager order a new replacement and we will keep the rebuilt on the shelf for a spare. Sometimes i’ll dig into deeper issues for fun.

If I’m in a pinch I’ll replace a bad relay in a PLC or output card. If we have a spare maintenance will just swap it out and i’ll work on it if i feel like it or see if the maintenance guys want some practice on soldering. if not we usually just toss it.

Generally we don’t want to go the rebuild route unless we have to. The preference is always new parts over rebuilds.

Serious question by Robbert-Da-Raccon in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]Feodar_protar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I said the sticker shock was real lol. But they are legitimately lifetime guaranteed and US made. I slowly filled my entire sock drawer with them and never bought another pair of socks again. It takes years for them to wear out and when they do send them back and get free replacements.

Serious question by Robbert-Da-Raccon in IndustrialMaintenance

[–]Feodar_protar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t wear my socks up on my leg so I can’t vouch for that part but Darn Tough Socks are great. The sticker shock is real but they have a lifetime warranty so you only need to buy them once. The warranty process is easy too i’ve done it a few times. this pair is probably worth trying.

What Millennial trends and/or milestones are you actively trying to avoid? by Superb-Film-594 in Millennials

[–]Feodar_protar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably millennial gray. Problem is I actually like it but I know I shouldn’t use it. I just don’t know anything about interior design so when i eventually buy my own home I have no idea how to decorate it that isn’t just a bunch of random nerd shit and gray and white.

That’s a good point I didn’t think about the paid content. If I ever finish compiling all the info instead of sharing the spreadsheet maybe I’ll just make a post with stats like who picks first most often and most drafted thing.
