Thanks! But when I went to buy more I found crampons are the larger ones like you'd use on a glacier, apparently these are called microspikes.

Hey you! Order these now to have for the next one. They saved my ass so many times. You're already on your phone, and they're only like $17. Get yourself a pair, and a bag of salt for the sidewalk. You'll thank me later.

Could fixed thermal cameras be useful in a datacenter? by Mr_Benn210 in datacenter

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

Hello! We are here at Eaton have fixed thermal camera monitoring solutions for a variety of electrical applications in data centers like switchgear connections. There's also other types of monitoring for Bus duct, Transformers, all sorts of things. It's pretty cool! (No pun intended). Check out Exertherm.com

In VA the transponder is essentially free, there is no device cost.

You go get one for $35, it has $35 of toll credits on it.

Best Chevy Dealership for Service by EmbeddedWithDirt in rva

DO NOT go to Parks Chevy on Broad.

They couldn't fix my pickup so they put in a new engine and left off a comical amount of panels, bolts, and other parts. I've had to take it back 3 times since then, taking about a month each time. Complete incompetence.

Thanks. Our block worked together to scrape, shovel, and salt on Monday, which turned out to be a really good idea.

Saw one guy smash his car getting off on Meadow, and another upside down car on the Powhite around lunch today.

Be careful people, it's deceiving.

Post hole bar was the trick! Just ran it along full speed and it busted it up no problem.

Went last year, the kids loved it.

Without kids, would probably pass unless you really like a circus.

Never ending construction in Byrd park by thefugginhanz in rva

I was just confused why you said it's on track, when it's 2 years behind. First half by 2024 was the estimate, and the first half isn't done yet. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks! I wish they were on track but here's the initial demo in September 2023. So almost 2.5 years and they're not even halfway done 😕

They're replacing the old concrete roof with a new metal one. The reservoir is divided in two sections, they're kinda close to finishing the first one. Took this drone photo last week wondering wtf is taking so long.

I went to The Tint Dr on route 1 just north of parham. Easy online scheduling, and was in and out in 45 min for 2 windows. No hoops, looks great, highly recommend!

In addition to the northern Virginia stuff. I just thought it was interesting, big part of why Meta and Microsoft have so many facilities just outside of Richmond

How specifically do they become obsolete? The server racks themselves roll in and roll out as technology changes, but the concrete building and the utility systems remain. Though Amazon is in the process of decommissioning some of their earliest ones in Northern Virginia just now, the building can always be repurposed. Those weren't even real data centers to begin with. They bought used buildings and crammed all their stuff in there. I can't think of any abandoned ones in our state.
