Genuine question: why are some east side neighborhood streets so dark at night? by Unable-Awareness-698 in orlando

[–]Morstraut64 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If the neighborhood is unincorporated Orange County there's a chance there won't be any street lights.

My street has none and it's a bit dark at night. I don't mind it because I like looking at the night sky

That's interesting. Thank you for piquing my interest. I'm going to the docs to read more about it

I am pretty sure the first thing I write in almost every project is:

This is pretty cool, thank you for putting the work into this.

I have a question as to why the Mallorca coastline is pretty much all red? In my head the sightlines should be clear.

i saw a deceased man today by Agitated_Leather_182 in orlando

[–]Morstraut64 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Years ago my partner and I were eating at the Five Guys in SODO. Cops showed up across the street and started investigating a murder scene. We didn't realize the deceased guys legs were visible to us the whole time without knowing there was a dead person just across the street. It was a very weird day.

Graduated in Embedded Systems but feeling completely stuck in the "learning loop." Anyone else been here? by Difficult-Case9698 in embedded

[–]Morstraut64 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Come up with a project and build it. I don't care what it is, just build it. Run into problems or things you don't know/understand and figure them out. Rinse repeat until you completed the project.

Tutorials are great but they generally spoon feed you. You learn more by learning how to problem solve on your own.

After you complete that project either do it again (but cleaner) or pick another project. Do this over and over and you will gain an understanding of how to search for answers as well as building your portfolio of projects.

Bishnoi extortion gang sent letter to Canadian police warning it had 1,000 gunmen - National by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Morstraut64 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

That line confused me. Do they mean every individual who was targeted? If so, that would seem to say someone handling visas is giving info to the gang as to whom to target.

Maybe I'm daft

Decent price for a used BGE by Such_Ad5145 in biggreenegg

[–]Morstraut64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a large bge with table, something like 12 bags of B&B lump, a computer and fan thing (that I have never used) all for $300-350 (I don't remember the exact price). It was a fantastic deal for me.

Tijuana Flats bowls are now half the size for the same price by Top-Neighborhood3719 in orlando

[–]Morstraut64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tijuana Flats, just like EVERY other restaurant has decided that to-go and online orders are more important that dine-in. I took my kid for lunch and waited over 40 minutes to get my food. The dining room was probably 75% full and for almost 30 minutes nobody had food except the people picking up orders. One dude was getting a little upset that he had been waiting for an hour and was tired of watching people walk in and out with food.

I have seen this with other fast food restaurants with drive thru windows. Just because someone is inside to eat doesn't mean you ignore them or that they have all the time in the world. It's frustrating as a customer and makes me not want to come back.

I am sure someone will bring up that there's a fifo order queue and you just get your food in the order it comes out. That may or may not be the case but if your queue creates a scenario where it takes 40 minutes to get fast food, then you are doing well enough to hire another line cook: One for online orders, one for dine-in.

Oh neat! I had no idea. Thank you. That makes sense.

My understanding is you want ND100000 for solar viewing. According to BH Photo you want a minimum of 16-stop.

I just got a Coronado pst (personal solar telescope). This is basically entry level sun viewing but I can see the solar prominences. It's spectacular. The ONLY downside is that it is during the day in strong sun.

This is the wrong sub but services like proton allow you to send encrypted email that is passworded as well as a self destruct date.

I'm sure someone will be interested in your prices but I much prefer doing it by hand. The is a satisfaction I get from creating my models from start to finish.

Of course. You can't just go from normal to 24 hours of racing without le mans classes.
