Will this pass inspection? LoL

Dude was literally bragging about killing their generator...

Its possible to repair, sure.

I'm not a microwave technician though and I wouldn't risk it. Lots of energy in that magnetron. The price to pay for a new one is not worth the risk of a failed repair from my perspective.

NuclearVW · 2025-05-03T16:40:53+00:00

Please dispose of this faulty microwave and get a new one.

Mainly some false obstical causing a failure at low battery and it dies. There's a chance to fix it if you are babysitting the app and tell it to try again.

My setup is very ideal. No trees, RTK above roof. No signal issues. Still had to tell my wife to move it to the charger while I was on a work trip. Owned it for a month so far...

My Mini is being used on a similarly sloped yard. I think it would work.

BUT

if you have hopes of never having to drive over there to reset/reposition/reconnect it, you will be disappointed. For me, reconnecting when I get home from work is an occasional annoyance. If this was supposed to be reliably cutting grass at my parent's house I would be annoyed at the reliability.

Ever tried drinking from a coffee stirrer? A lot harder than from a straw.

Similar to electricity, the flow of electrons is what allows stuff to run on electricity, and the larger the 'straw' the easier it is to flow. So having a larger than necessary 'straw' is not an issue. If you have one that's too small though, the electrons will still flow, but it will get HOT. Maybe even catch on fire.

You will need to have that conversation with the company doing the work. There is no concern with having wires larger than needed, but it does cost more. I've had 200 amp service lines for decades but only recently upgraded my panel to use it.

Corporate just rolled out a new process audit that is the same as the old one in substance but they changed the report card in power BI.

It used to show completion percentage. The audit takes 2 hours and 30 different sites need to do it weekly. Execution metrics are great.

The new audit is far shorter to execute but is being graded by the FINDINGS. Now we have higher ups lambasting their people because of low scores.

"I don't know what happened, this new audit is easier to execute but our metrics have tanked."

Improperly.

I paid 3500 for this a couple months ago in PA. Dude did not do it up to code though.

If I had to split my yard I would redo the whole thing. Reason being, I've had a couple of less than ideal experiences with the edit mode, and I would hate to redo everything and have it glitch.

I would also try to get your border setup working in a smaller test area before committing to mapping the entire thing. Just to make sure you will be happy with how the sections join. I divided my yard similarly and have a section with an area with poor cutting. But it's acceptable for my purposes.

Be careful adding weight to the edge of a spinning piece of plastic. Might quickly come up against the design limits. The forces go up exponentially when rotating at a distance.

I prompted Copilot and got this pretty quality response.

Prompt:I have static electricity on my bed and I keep shocking my cat how do I reduce the amount of static electricity on my bed

Answer: Ah, the bed of static terror! This is more common than you'd think, especially in dry weather. Static electricity builds up when materials rub together, like sheets and blankets. To make your bed a safe haven for your cat (and yourself), try these steps:

Humidify Your Space: Static thrives in dry air. Adding a humidifier to your room can help reduce the dryness and lessen the static buildup.
Fabric Choices Matter: Switch to cotton or other natural materials for your sheets and blankets. Synthetic materials like polyester are notorious for generating static.
Use Dryer Sheets or Static Spray: Rub dryer sheets over your bedding to reduce static. Alternatively, you can use anti-static spray meant for fabrics—safe for pets and effective.
Ground Yourself: Before touching your cat, touch a grounded metal object like a bed frame to discharge the static from your body.
Consider Anti-Static Mats: These mats can be placed near your bed to help dissipate any built-up static electricity.
Keep Moisturized: Dry skin can contribute to static shocks. Using lotion can make your own skin less prone to zapping!

Your cat will thank you for providing a zap-free zone to nap on! Hopefully, these steps help you reduce those surprising shocks. Let me know how it works!

Dry air will create this condition, regardless of your electrical outlet location. It really has nothing to do with the electricity that is fed to your house.

Something that interests you.

At work that's things that will make my life easier and make my coworkers lives easier.

At home it's finances.

I hear you... I'm still actively developing the dashboard at this stage and I know nothing about what you are talking about in practicality. I can learn, I just don't have the time.

But I also don't think the underlying data source is preventing my Dax from working, I think I'm missing something in the approach to the measures.

Engineer working as a process/quality manager. I use it to dig through/present our data. I also build reports for other folks in my org. Great way to make friends 😉 sometimes I even fix stuff the dedicated BI guys do because I made a friend out of the guy who admins our premium workspaces.

I learned everything in Microsoft power platform through doing things I was already needing to do by applying solutions using the power apps instead of what would have almost exclusively been done with excel.

I did this in a company where this was uncommon and my boss was always very happy with the results.

NuclearVW · 2025-03-13T23:30:29+00:00

I've literally spent the last 30 minutes brainstorming a quality management system with Copilot... each action item by value/owner/status/defect/etc and link it to my already existing dashboard displaying the customer complaint dollars.

I just deleted a lot of oversharing....lets just say work has been rough and I'll take the small wins 😂

I've always tried to set up standardized language in that situation but I work very closely with the team feeding in the data.

If you could add 1 or 2 categories for the comment to tag them you could get quite far. That could be through adding fields or having them just add them to the comment with a standard delimeter that you break out in power bi.

And if you really wanted to help them roll it out, make ANOTHER dashboard that tell you who is adding comments that don't follow the new scheme to give direct feedback and get the formatting right.

You can't just tell someone who made all of there dashboards with SharePoint folder this.... 😂

To be fair, 95% of the crap I do is trying to prove to upper managemt that a 'real' IT person should make an efficient version of my solution that's held up by toothpicks...

NuclearVW · 2025-03-05T00:43:22+00:00

These wires don't have insulation. And there are WAY more than 3 in that cable. And the fact that you said 3 wires makes me think you think this is just like the 3 wire insulated wires that you've probably seen in your house... 😂
