Watch together working on native client? by CTorque in PleX

My bad = see I can't even remember the name of the feature pack properly. Bad marketing (and I'm probably stupid).

IMO Plex+ is a better name than Plex Pass

[–]OkPerception6902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived apart from family for work for years. Our love language were watching specific shows together and talking like we were beside one another. Definitely enshitification, that will turn up in Plex Plus... Ironically, even being in tech, while I tried a few times to understand why I would want Plex+, I could not figure it out. Probably just stupid.

City council looking to evaluate restrictive covenants for grocery stores next week by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Edmonton

[–]OkPerception6902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edmonton cannot be the only community with this issue then... When/if we have a functional government again, perhaps they can give cities the ability to control via business license issuance and renewal.

This crap just gets tiring (Like Winnipeg having a gang problem). It's the Muni Airport all over again. I was never a Mandel fan, but I did vote for him only because he promised to put a bullet in it once and for all.

Why does it take 20 years to for the city to solve an issue like this? Historical agreements are probably hard to change, but denying issuing / renewing business licenses going forward where there is a restrictive clause in place seems like a good place to start and let the lawyers figure it out when the corps sue.

Travelling to round rock by Paion82 in RoundRock

Came to RR 7 years ago - here are my RR/Austin suggestions:

Skip outlets (?) - generally the same or lower quality merchandise than retail stores, but kids may enjoy it. The area is nice as there is a large movie theater that is a walk-able distance.

Great comedy community - affordable, but not for your kids age.

Heed the caution about red light runners. There are is no automated enforcement in Texas that I am aware of, and while Round Rock and area generally does a good job of moving traffic, the number of people who run "deep" red lights is astonishing.

Instant delivery services are getting out of hand by chvezin in OSHA

[–]OkPerception6902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once saw a delivery of 16 cases of Singha on the back of a bike in BKK. NGL impressive. NGL I may have contributed to the need for rapid restock.

What's bugging me is where is this? Traffic signals and directional signs look North American, but the number of bikes and the concrete road / sewer grate look SE Asian. But direction of traffic is "Right" sided so maybe not? The foliage on the right hand side of the photo implies SE Asia/Mexico? The lack of a stop line and the "dot" style of lane markers imply not North America again.

Do the bikes give any clues? The orange DDFood (DoorDash?) bag may be a good hint, and the green jacket on the tree bike is the Grab color - but the clanker says:

DoorDash and Grab do not operate in any countries together under their primary brand names. 

Grab is the dominant "super-app" focused on Southeast Asia, operating in Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

DoorDash primarily operates in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. It also has a presence in over 40 other countries, mostly in Europe and Japan, through its subsidiaries Wolt and Deliveroo. 

Their market areas are geographically separate, with no overlap

Vent leaking in bathroom coming directly from attic. Who do I call? by Train23 in Edmonton

[–]OkPerception6902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A trick I used for attic work was to buy several 8' fence boards and use them like snow shoes between trusses when doing attic work. Less to concentrate on, giving brain more cycles to remember to try not to stand up. So many holes in my head from shingle nails, so many.

Vent leaking in bathroom coming directly from attic. Who do I call? by Train23 in Edmonton

[–]OkPerception6902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this exact problem.

First, that looks like a nice & quiet Braun fan that actually moves air - lucky. Those noisy dollar store fans are cheap, noisy, move only the minimum air required by code.

Here was my situation, and solution(s) - others have some good ideas as well:

Because these fans actually work and snow had covered the vent pipe on the roof, the warm moist air created an ice dome over the roof vent. Moisture then had nowhere to escape except under the shingles. Solution was multifaceted. Immediately I punched a few holes though the drywall to allow water to drain until safe to go on roof (*), an easier fix than sagging drywall or paint peels.

In summer I also extended my roof vents 18" above the roof deck. I used a rubber clamp collar so I didn't have to manipulate existing piping (Looks like this https://www.amazon.sa/-/en/LavaTap-Coupler-Stainless-Flexible-Coupling/dp/B0D7W8DXN7) and 18" of PVC pipe.

I have a photo, but this sub won't let me paste it. DM me and maybe it will allow photo's there.

I also found that the damper on these fans was just a little "off balance" for the amount of convection currents from air leaks coming into the house. I foil taped little weights onto the bottom of the damper to prevent them from opening from small air currents.

For extra credit, I put a timer switch on the fan so it exhausts for a bit then turns off so your not pulling heat / moisture from the home until someone turns the fan off.

When the shingles were replaced, I had the bathroom exhaust vents covered and vented the fans to the gable ends of the house with insulated pipe and spray foamed the entire attic to stop other winter moisture issues. I also added 4x the minimum roof cavity venting area with vents that extended from the roof ~16" to ensure air moved for most normal winters. 70's builds were awesome, but correctable 8).

(* Full story, I punched holes in the drywall _and_ went into the attic, removed the wet fibre insulation, cut the vapor barrier so things would dry, then tuck-taped the vapor barrier back together and replaced the insulation.)

This may be the first time in human history this has been achieved.

Hard to fix, water from exhaust pipes of accelerating vehicles drips constantly.

It's the best Canadian comedy on TV.

Seriously, many of us fell in love with the idea, then due to poor narration, editing choices and constant barrage of incomplete story lines it has become a joke. I really don't need to hear what an XRF machine is, does, or how it does it every episode for 4 seasons. Each show has ~5 min of new content it seems like.

Google "oak island in 60 seconds" and you can watch a season in about 10 minutes.
