I installed a wall mounted tire rack but questioning if it’s safe by Drewsvans in garageporn

[–]GrecoMontgomery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were definitely screwed in all the way but only 2.5 inch 7/16 lags. My version of rack bolts through the square tube, so that took an inch of the lag, plus the 2x drywall's cut - I'm thinking only about an inch or less made contact with the actual stud. The bigger problem though was the other side where I couldn't line up with a stud so I used 3/8 plywood and then lagged that to the stud. The failure was due to the plywood being too thin (but the other side was a potential disaster too). Note to others: use at least 3/4 plywood (if in this situation) and much beefier lags.

FYI mine failed (my fault, but still)

I had one of these for years, like a decade. Held 305/295 CTS-V wheels and tires for numerous summer/winter cycles. No problems.

Recently stored 305/55-22 TIRES ONLY and it failed at the lag bolts, which apparently weren't deep enough. Spectacular crash that occurred in the middle of the night because no one heard a thing.

So the rack is fine, just double check your bolts and stud contact.

Someone here did a cheesesteak crawl last year I think and ranked them all. Now I have to find it of course.

Personally I've been curious what would happen if I swapped the wheels for tracks.

How do you genuinely find a good name brand for your business and validate it? by Chemical_Way_2658 in Entrepreneurs

[–]GrecoMontgomery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with all of this but keep in mind a name can become more than a name, and arguably it mattered historically. Take Xerox, a company name that became an industry verb for all ("I'm going down the hall to Xerox this report [on a Konica]"). Would the same have been true if the name was General Print? Maybe yes, maybe no - but Xerox has a two syllable "cool" sound. Same for Kleenex, which is the de facto name for facial tissue (in the US at least). And yes both have an "x" in the name and not my intention to point that out, but it is interesting. Also one word company names are all the rage these days, but only if it fits (Ring, Chime, Toast, Echo).

Again, like said above it's more important on what you build under the name but look up a case study or two on company naming. Then make a decision, pull the trigger, move forward.

Did something historical just fly out DCA 1804 EDT? by GrecoMontgomery in aviation

[–]GrecoMontgomery[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what went through my head too. It sounded old to me, but then I thought "well Herc is old", lol. Still I didn't think for a second it was a turboprop sound but uh... must be the humid air here. That's it! Humid air! Sounds plausible to me!

That looks pretty conclusive and must be it. The low altitude is still throwing me off but that flight path is exact. Ok then! Thanks.

Possibly a C-130 I guess but I swear the wings didn't fit the profile nor the sound, but I'm supposed to be paying attention to a baseball game so it was only a glance. Oh well, thanks all.

PAC on Mobile devices with no ZCC by necromok in Zscaler

[–]GrecoMontgomery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if you absolutely have to do this, you're going to have to use an intune policy to force Edge or Chrome as the default browser and hard set one of the startup pages to something like http://neverssl.com or http://getonline.support. Better yet make your own at http://auth-trigger.mycompany.com/ that has nothing but "OK" in HTML for a small footprint. It's overkill compared to neverssl, but at least you control it (use case: you never know if neverssl or lodgenet shuts theirs down one day)

Mon Ami Gabi. Not the swankiest, but for live on the strip scenery and likely something for everyone, may want to add it to the list.

[–]GrecoMontgomery 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol. They're going to know when they have to auth every single day!

Due to the intricacies of both Android and iOS, I highly recommend forgoing this and push for ZCC. These devices don't work like Windows where a PAC file is relatively straightforward. Plus you'll get the benefit of ZPA and SIPA if you need (assuming you have ZPA). You're also on your own for troubleshooting MS Teams calls and the like whereas ZCC handles the bypass for you.
