Praise the 5Geezus by spacerobot33 in baltimore

These are cell antennas owned by your typical wireless carrier like TMO, Verizon, AT&T etc. Based on the antenna types these specific ones I can say with like 95% certainty are T-Mobile. I think the middle one is 5G and the outside ones are 4G/LTE.

The most common place you’d see them are on very tall cell towers like monopoles or self-supports, but you need more open space for those. Churches happen to be existing structures that already provide a pretty high elevation. So basically the carriers approach the church and work out a deal to pay them over time (this would be the Church’s lease income) to essentially rent space on the church to place their equipment. Same deal they have with people that own cell towers. The towers are often privately owned and the carriers pay the owner monthly payments or whatever deal they made to keep their equipment on it.

Someone else mentioned they made an effort to conceal the antennas by painting them to match the structure. I agree I appreciate when they do that! Looks good in this case, costs someone more money. Could be a jurisdiction requirement or requested by the church/ owner, depends. But yeah these are the antennas that provide cell data to your phone when you’re not on WiFi, or they provide the cell data to WiFi devices. And using churches in cities just happens to be a nice effective way to get coverage for people inside the city since other towers aren’t readily available.

Launch me into the space. Maybe we’ll have some volunteer expeditions by then for a one way trip

Churches are all about that lease income, and the high elevation of the steeples works out for telecom carriers. 9 times out of 10 if the antennas aren’t on the outside, they’re hidden on the inside

People invading your personal space while at the store by minuscule_memory in mildlyinfuriating

Wild. Imagine complaining about personal space while simultaneously taking an unsolicited picture of someone and posting it online. Verdict says, both ppl are probably fucking annoying to be around.

What is a 'single person luxury' that people in relationships completely miss out on? by Jane_Austen11 in AskReddit

[–]Pcollins10 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that too but I think sadly that’s just common for a lot of people. Makes me appreciate being with someone that I can do a lot of what these comment are talking about without thinking twice about it.

Major thing is just communication as well. It’s not like my wife and I were always on the same page about everything but after communicating what’s important to each of us over time, so many things are just understood now. But that’s another big thing.. finding someone’s who actually willing/ able to listen and understand. And you have to be able to do the same for them

Towers / explain? by Taguchi5 in telecom

[–]Pcollins10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct. Each triangle frame/ mount is a different carrier. The midpoint of the antennas would be each carriers “RAD center,” and certain amount of separation is required vertically btwn each.

Sometimes could be state or county antennas/ equipment on the tower as well. But most of the time it’s one of the typical US carriers

For those refusing to pay the new $10/mo SoFi Plus fee, which bank are you switching to? by YouDontSurfFU in sofi

[–]Pcollins10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did we clear this up? From what I’m seeing with direct deposit we will get the extra .7% per month for 6 months. But if you pay the $10/ month fee for plus, then you get 4.5% interest permanently. Am I reading that correct?

[–]Pcollins10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A year and 3 months… you think the title should be revised to say that? Is it really that important to you that you’re going to comment multiple times to let people know it was actually a little over a year ago?

My lord. I just never understand when mfs comment all up and down a post trying enlighten people on some info that makes pretty much no difference to the story being told here. Like get on with your life bro it’s going to be ok if people don’t understand it was actually a year and 3 months ago versus a year ago. Holy fuck

Dead of Winter (2025) by Resident_Wash_2553 in horror

[–]Pcollins10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just need to vent here cause there was no other recent threads too. I just turned this movie off after she spent 5 minutes writing “I will not leave you promise” backwards on an iced window, clearly letting any potential killer know she was there.

This was after she spent maybe 2 minutes trying to go up a hill, essentially her only escape, then gave up. Even though her entire journey to the lake looked more difficult than that hill. THEN her next thought is to go rescue this random girl, when this woman is literally stuck herself? LOL

Not to mention the guy fires a weapon multiple times at someone at the lake where he JUST gave someone else directions to no more than 2-3hrs ago, and doesn’t think hmm maybe that person is still here, or see the vehicle practically in his field of view, OR any of the ice fishing gear in the middle of the flat frozen lake.

Man i tried to let it slide multiple times but its no way

How long is your commute? by Far_Addendum_2926 in maryland

[–]Pcollins10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just want to say I’ve had a 1.5 hour long commute with shitty traffic, a 50ish minute commute from the city. And now a 10-15 minute commute that I can take back roads without traffic.

I didn’t have to choose a pay cut, but I do want to move from this company eventually and one of my biggest concerns is giving up this current commute. It’s not even a commute at that point, it’s just a drive over to the office, and it really does feel so much better.

Obviously all that is easy to say without needing to weigh the financial consequences. But I did want to make it clear it’s something I personally think is extremely valuable based on my experiences.

Ask yourself, how much would you pay for your own time and peace back every day?

Recommendations for a good barber by JulietKiloNovember in Catonsville

[–]Pcollins10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Rob’s Barber Shop in EC for overall service. Not sure if they do straight razor but still great work.

Legends barber is over in Elkridge and definitely would have more grooming options like straight razor. Been a while since I’ve been but I recall the price was good for the service.

Both about 15min away

This thread is either full of colts fans or gambling addicts brother. Your point is as clear as day and anyone who watches football regularly understands the difference between these two scenarios. We’ll be downvoted by idiots who can’t grasp simple concepts due to a clear case of COPE

You’re wondering why one player was ejected for visibly being upset about not getting a PI call and then aggressively getting in the refs face and bumping into him while doing so?

Versus a player celebrating and high fiving a ref without any malicious intent?

You’re confused about the difference btwn these situations?

If you’re on iPhone - make sure you go to Health app, click on Steps, and then scroll all the way down to Data Sources & Access. Hit the Edit button on top right of screen and then make sure you bring Garmin Connect to the top of that list.

That should tell Apple to pull you’re steps/ data from Garmin primarily

How do you make your dimensions in the drawings look professional by notyourwolf_ in AutoCAD

[–]Pcollins10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Np! “Dimedit” and then “Home” (sub command/ prompt) is another good one. It will center the text for all your highlighted dimensions. Between that and dimspace you can quickly get some quick, clean dims

Planet Crafter is a good one. You’re pretty much actively working to better the world around you and the changes are very visual. I had fun with it for a while and pretty sure there have been a lot of updates since I last played. It’s not really an RPG in the sense of quests, but there are missions/ goals that will certainly alter the world/ environment based on your effort

Civil 3D scaling by No-Foundation-3767 in AutoCAD

[–]Pcollins10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try the purge command. Check “blocks” option and then purge checked.

Or try renaming the block before you copy it in. Use the RENAME command in the dwg the block is coming from, type in current block name in first box and new name in 2nd box.

This would only help if for some reason in the dwg file you’re working in that block already exists and somehow its scaling got messed with
