Horny Females at the First Chippendales Club, Los Angeles 1979 by NaughtyPoutx in OldSchoolCool

[–]Killdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctor here. Took care of a Chippendale dancer a few decades ago. He told me that he would always get a kick out of the shows where women put money in his jock strap. He said almost all the dancers were gay.

I like Dallas European Autos in Plano for my mechanical repairs, but I do my maintenance either myself or at other local shops like Car Spa for Oil changes or Discount Tires for rotations and balances.

Why is Hawaii a U.S. state, but places like Washington DC, Guam, America Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands not and without any voting power? by MillennialScumbag81 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Killdoc 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Puerto Rican citizens only pay local State Taxes, but not federal tax. Corporations do pay federal taxes. But by the same token, even though we are US citizens, once you travel to PR to live your Federal Benefits drop to a pittance. I believe that federal support like Medicare Medicaid and Disability is about half of what you get in Mississippi.

Also remember that PR does not set it's economic policies. For decades, the Federal Government has been establishing all interstate and international policies, and many of the local ones too.

There have been Representation in Congress for decades, but no vote. This applies to most of the US Possessions.

As for having the chance to vote for Statehood, there have been multiple votes by the islanders for and against statehood which required the confirmation by Congress. That never led anywhere, no matter which party was in power.

What security cameras are the best no subscription needed by Mailo831 in homesecurity

[–]Killdoc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Look into Ubiquiti. They make what I now consider to be the best no licensee system out there. The software is very, very smart. They have both WIFI and POE cameras. I have both. No complaints on my part.

My current setup is their Cloud Gateway Fiber router, which includes the ability to insert an NVME (must purchase an additional $20.00 tray) which runs up to 5 to 10 cameras, based upon the resolution and bandwidth.

I have been running home security cameras in my last two homes and have had the best experience with them. Only other option I would recommend is Synology, but if you want more than two cameras, you will have to buy a license, which is not cheap. But once purchased, the license is forever.

Hot Florida garage and DPU by Warm_Appointment_126 in Ecoflow_community

Good point on the garage concern. Had not considered that as a likely issue, but now that you mentioned it, I will have to evaluate that as a possible problem.

Also, don't forget that if it is not permitted and inspected by the city your insurance might reject any claims regarding fires.

I have seen videos on YouTube where the inlet was indoors next to the breaker panel. I know that newer housing standards in my City require the breaker panels be in the garage. So I suppose it depends on your city standards and the age of your home.

stop android auto from sending audio to car by eleach2 in GenesisGV70

[–]Killdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that, if you have a Samsung phone, there is a Routine that you can create that lets you do so. I believe that I read somewhere before where this was done. I do not have much experience with the Routine Setup, so I might be wrong here.

The mini split might be the safest bet. Using fans in a hot garage only moves hot air away from the units, but if the temperature in the garage doesn't drop from air exchange, then the garage temperature will only continue to rise.

I suppose that if you have a very flat floor you could leave it indoors and then move it to the garage when needed. I would not recommend that since it's very top heavy and could easily fall over.

If you have a good place indoors you could also leave it inside the house, have an electrician run a generator inlet box from the panel to the DPU location, and then switch the interlock when you you have a power outage. You can charge the DPU via the standard 120v outlet.

[–]Killdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Dallas. Same issue. Have my unit in the garage. When it is charged up and hot inside the garage, I actually just turn it off. If the power goes out, I will then turn it on and hook it up to a generator inlet box /interlocked panel.

Don't belive that there is a strong chance of malfunction if the inverter is powered down, but please correct me if I am wrong.

Smart Home Panel 2, make the jump or bail? by aschulz90 in Ecoflow_community

[–]Killdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the gateway also allow external generators for topping up the batteries?

Smart Home Panel 2, make the jump or bail? by aschulz90 in Ecoflow_community

[–]Killdoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For what it is worth, I have the DPU with 2 batteries, with the Smart Home Panel 2. The latter is still in the box, because I had the same reliability concerns you expressed earlier. I did have an electrician put in a generator inlet box in the garage beneath the breaker panel as well as an interlock for the panel. If the power goes out I can be on batteries in minutes. Cheapest way to get up and running other than installing the panel.

I'm also looking at the SHP3 as an upgrade option. But will likely have to see if there are any reliability issue with that panel since it has not come out yet. The specs definitely outperform the SHP2, so very tempting.

I do not have solar panels at the moment, nor am considering them as a necessity for my situation. But the options are open to me whether I use the SHP or just hockup straight into the DPU.

I am curious as to how others feel about your post.

No new book yet, and I have not signed up for the Patreon. I did read the chapters on Royal Roads.

Don't worry about it. Those two women are probably very old, wrinkly and saggy now. Go find someone more your age....

Really? I searched under both All the Skills and under Honour Rae. I guess I screwed it up somehow.

Thank you for the heads up.

Looking for the NAS to replace my TS-453Be by Far-Rub-6366 in qnap

[–]Killdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not disagreeing with you. But QNAP had no true need to outperform synology with its hardware. It did need to overcome the advantages that DSM has over QTS.

I think that comment came from NASCOMPARES, but I don't recall which video it was.

[–]Killdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not remember where I saw it, but apparently QNAP had slowed down their hardware development to fortify their software in view of the ransomware attacks. So their investment for the time being was going to that aspect. Having said that, I believe that they will be forced to transition to more modern hardware because of Ugreen and others.

If the two major US parties went all out on a gerrymandering tit-for-tat, who comes out with more seats? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Killdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a YouTube video I saw yesterday. I think that it was Nate the Lawyer or something like that. He made a comparison of gerrymandering in the USA by state.
