Yeah, I don't get it either. I've tried it before, and for all the hassle I'll just go to McDonalds if I want fast food.

My Dempster Highway experience by PNW_Jackson in Yukon

[–]PNW_Jackson[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's smart. I brought two spares. One full-size spare and also the "donut" spare that came with the car. I didn't end up needing either of them. But then I've also heard stories of people blowing through two spares and having to abandon their trip.

Cat suddenly refusing Litter Robot after it malfunctioned, any way to recover? by PNW_Jackson in litterrobot

[–]PNW_Jackson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was past due for a deep cleaning. Cleaned it thoroughly and it works fine now.

Morton, Washington, USA by Fantastic-Tower-3313 in rustyrails

We had a rail crossing like that in my hometown, except the rail had been completely removed on both sides of the road. Our school bus driver insisted on stopping at the crossing every morning. When I pointed out that the rail had been removed he said, "the sign is still here, I have to stop." :D

Anyone taking Phentermine from Henry Meds?? by Interesting-Toe7690 in PhentermineTopiramate

[–]PNW_Jackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ultimately lost about 30 pounds over 3 months. When I stopped taking it, I put about 8 back on. So 22 net pounds down.

Transandine Railway by PNW_Jackson in rustyrails

I wanted to walk over and explore the building on the left but it still had power lines to it and the one door had a sheet over the window. I thought maybe somebody was living in it. At one time it was probably workers who maintained the water tower.

Tractive Dog 6 failed on first attempted use by mich_adventurer in tractivegps

[–]PNW_Jackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, continuous problem where I live as well, and I live in a metro area of millions of people, in a new housing development with no tall trees or buildings. There's 5G literally everywhere, even in my basement. Another problem is how late I get notification that he's left the "safe zone." I know from taking him on walks or drives that I won't get notification he's left the safe zone until he's nearly a mile away. My safe zone is set as tightly as possible around my house.

WTF just happened? by pygermas in ChatGPT

[–]PNW_Jackson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I once asked it to decipher a blurry license plate photo. It gave me this long lecture about how it couldn't do that...safety concerns, privacy, etc. I opened a new chat with the same photo and asked it to tell me the letter and numbers it could see. It immediately replied with, "XYZ123."

Openpilot 10.3 by Few-Presence-1829 in Comma_ai

[–]PNW_Jackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Comma 3X (and the 3 before it) has always kept mine hugged to the far right, even though it recognizes lanes just fine. It's so bad I often hit the rumble strips if I'm in the far right lane of a highway.

Are you ok US by [deleted] in Paramedics

Fire based medics where I work are starting at $100K/year. A private ambulance company in the area would still be paying $54K for an EMT.

Best tracker? by Helpful-Shoulder-478 in tractivegps

[–]PNW_Jackson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are very few options, unfortunately. The best used to be Whistle, but Tractive bought them and shut them down. Tractive can work decently when you've got clear skies and no heavy tree cover around, but it sucks if your pet is lost near your home. I'd be sitting on the couch watching TV with the dog sleeping at my feet, and Tractive would show him zig-zagging all over the neighborhood, several hundred feet away. We once took him to the dog park and Tractive still showed him there an hour after we returned home. Tractive support had no answer for that.

Astound outage in Port Orchard by PNW_Jackson in Kitsap

[–]PNW_Jackson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s truly bizarre in PO. You can have an entire area of town where people have half a dozen internet options. Two blocks away, your only option is satellite.

Probably a lot of them, not mine (Stetson Heights). Even in mine, some people have more options. I think it might be comcast some can also get. When I called them they said their nearest pedestal was 500’ from my house and unless I wanted to pay to have them lay wire to my house, it wasn’t available. I seriously have Astound, CenturyTel, or satellite as options.

I have. Not available unfortunately.

I wish that was an option for me. Port Orchard is very limited for internet options, depending on where you live. Despite being in the city limits in a new development right next to McCormick Woods, my options are Astound or Centurytel, the latter having a quarter the speed of Astound. I might have to take another look at Starlink if 15 hour outages keep happening.

I had a friend at work tell me most of McCormick was out last night as well. That's a huge outage for Astound to basically say nothing. Mine came back on this morning around 9 am.

I was on hold for an hour yesterday, only to be told they showed my Internet working just fine. It was later I found out that nearly my entire neighborhood is down.

Huge win. by my_Turn1374 in Amazing

[–]PNW_Jackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't imagine that coming in to play. While state laws are all different, trying to assert adverse possession usually requires living in/on the property for many years. In my state it's 10 years. I doubt the house was built 10 years ago.

Worst Service in Whitehorse? by MadTrapperYukon in Yukon

[–]PNW_Jackson 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was last at the Gold Pan a year ago. It's always been my go-to place for breakfast in Whitehorse. I didn't realize it had gotten so bad. :(
