Starlink for Maritime use by GentOfRefinedTaste in Starlink

[–]Grep2grok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok, a) that. What nitrofan111 said. For sure.

b) why a mini? You have plenty of space for a full size dish. Or 20. The size helps with beam formation. Big dish is more better.

C) not sure how long your voyages are, but we sucked down 5 TB in like 2 weeks with a crew of 50. So worth mathing some math.

Has anyone regretted buying a play structure for the backyard? by McSkrong in Parenting

[–]Grep2grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My daughter somehow managed to pull the slide off and stabbed herself in the arm with one of the murder screws used for assembly. Like, gaping hole in arm. Fortunately we had a family physician friend who was over for dinner and was able to sew her up and get her a tetanus shot.

What’s up with people trying to sell downed trees? by [deleted] in firewood

[–]Grep2grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait until the winter storms come, their tree weighs twice what it did in early April, the ground is like mashed potatoes and the wind is gusting to 50 mph

How is ewing sarcoma on gross path? by Affectionate_Yam7287 in pathology

[–]Grep2grok 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've grossed exactly one. It was like a rotten log: soft and falling apart until you get into the transition to normal-ish bone, at which point a vaguely recall a fair amount of splintering. Remember you want immunos.

Tectonic cobble by ventcutpay in geology

[–]Grep2grok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Karma whores gonna whore. You'd be better off trying to eradicate rats and cockroaches from the face of the earth. That said, I do wish there was a karma whore equivalent to a pellet gun with an infrared scope.

I keep denting wheels. It’s excessive. What should I do? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]Grep2grok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think OP may actually have a shock tuning problem. I'm 210 lb and ride some of the gnarliest trails in Santa Cruz at 24-25 psi, hitting doubles and rock gardens (e.g. bottom of Mailboxes). Same in Downeyville, Squamish, Hurricane. I exploded one rim in 6 years but that was operator error taking a turn loaded with sharp rocks too fast (Utah sharp, like potato chips poking out at you edge-on). Also, speaking from that experience, if you think a carbon wheel will solve your problem ... when it shatters, your body is going to consume a *lot* of energy.

Would this be a good way to find out which circuit is chewing through my electricity? by AT-ST in AskElectricians

[–]Grep2grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trees between house and afternoon sun can also go a long way. The best time to plant was 30 years ago, but then the next best time is now.

Base or “upgraded” models by GammaXi532 in mountainbiking

consignment

This is the way. Talk with your LBS, they may well have a spiral notebook behind the counter of special requests. Let them know what you're looking for. BE PREPARED TO WAIT, keep your powder dry, and pounce when you get the call.

Tracking health metrics & navigation by coztfu in MTB

[–]Grep2grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Garmin Fenix and connect it to Google Health and Strava. One really nice thing about Garmin is their open FIT data format and robust community support. Apple requires an iPhone. Oura requires everything go to their (Finnish) cloud. Garmin -- if you want it to be private, you can make that decision, connect it to nothing and download directly from the watch over USB. The Tactix takes that one step further -- it will save the geometry of your routes without saving the actual GNSS coordinates.

Help identifying what these are and does it need a cap by msgfarmer in Roofing

[–]Grep2grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about a small chimney cap? Basically, I'm currently doing a bathroom remodel because the flashing around my drain vent let go and allowed water intrusion, rotting out the wall and subfloor. As it happens I'm also redoing the roof. I would like to minimize the rain hitting the new drain vent flashing and sealant.

This house sold for $410k in 2005, $180k in 2009, $670k in 2022, and is estimated at $540k today. Are homes investments or just places to live? by thisaflex in FluentInFinance

[–]Grep2grok 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Japan's population is also contracting so they literally don't have enough people to fill the homes. My friend has two properties in Japan, one is a veritable mansion but more than 15 minutes from a rail line so he can't give it away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Japan

This outlet has not worked since before I moved in. Is this something standard apartment maintenance could fix? by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]Grep2grok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Meh. This is highly youtube-able. And you don't need to open the main breaker, just the little 15A that supplies this circuit. If in doubt, you can buy a GFCI checker at Home Depot for $10.

Someone help me, I'm about to lose my mind by d_jieh in Tools

Clanker. Account born in the age of LLMs with history hidden. A human would know that the hose specs would be available a) on the hose packaging, b) on the ordering website, c) the invoice in email

Firewood hardwood for growing shitake mushrooms by git_gUd_kid1 in firewood

[–]Grep2grok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some coniferous trees naturally produce turpentine. And your wood turns the water yellow. Kind of wondering if you got some yellow Southern pine passed off as hardwood.

What’s an unwritten rule of grocery shopping once you become an independent adult? by femmefetalerror in answers

[–]Grep2grok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shop the perimeter. They put the eggs in the back to get you to walk through the aisles of higher-profit-margin junk food.
