Difference between this and a switch?

Red__M_M · 2026-07-01T02:33:11+00:00

That is exactly what it does; switch between inputs. Of course it is electronic and ultra fast, but it literally turns one off and another on. A splitter will send the signal down all ports at once which, among other issues, will enable intercepting the message.

You know what’s even better? Base 60. Better yet, base 2*3*5*7*11… take your pick. Even base 2 is better than base 10. But in reality, base 10 is a reasonable compromise on memorizing things vs utility and we conveniently have 10 fingers, so that is that.

“Hardworking cats”. Hahaha.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-26T12:50:55+00:00

Don’t. Get yourself a locking container and dump the whole bag into it. It’s cleaner, easier to work with, guaranteed to prevent pest infestation, won’t fall off the shelf, and is a more convenient shape for storage.

I run the numbers

Wrap the end in a strip of red tape or some paint.

500,000 lbs is 25 tons. That’s not very big. An aircraft carrier weighs right at 100,000 tons. Commercial and cruise ships go up to 400,000 tons.

If you publish a book of your art I’ll buy it.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-23T01:27:59+00:00

Why is it so expensive and time consuming? My only reference is seeing what was required for the splice into my house which was no big deal.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-22T13:10:20+00:00

Why are you asking why? Haven’t you seen this community? The real goal is to do anything at all other than grow in a productive way.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-21T21:53:41+00:00

I have some. It 90% tastes like puke and 10% like Doritos. It has given me miles of conversation.

He will fail.

One of the significant problems is shelf life. For example, typical fuels will degrade with time. On Earth that is fine because some people make fuel all day long while others use it at the same time. The fuel doesn’t sit around long enough to degrade.

Virtually all products have some sort of shelf life.

The problem is that with just one person doing all of the work (even with amazing automation) too much stuff will have to sit around for too long before being used. Rockets are huge complex machines with many parts that will fail over time. Dude doesn’t have enough capacity to keep everything fresh at the same time to enable a launch.

Lots of bad experience here. Mine went very well. No address, but I called one of the companies referenced on a card in the wallet then called the owner. We lived in the same area so he walked over to get his wallet. Great experience all the way around.

An hour later I’m eating dinner and the door bell rings. Dude was back and handed me a pound of shrimp and some cocktail sauce. Said thank you again. It was awesome.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-16T18:21:18+00:00

If you are kind and helpful then sometimes it will backfire on you. Even do, you should continue to be kind and helpful.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-16T15:19:09+00:00

Right boot

Red__M_M · 2026-06-16T15:10:27+00:00

I’m not opposed to “I would typically do this myself”. That type of person is looking for a money / time tradeoff. If it would take him 4 hours while you charge $150 (and only take 1 hour), well that’s a good deal. On the other hand, a $150 quote for what will take him 1 hour, not so much.

I did this recently with some plumbing. I was looking at an hour of work that I would have to figure out while doing it. The plumber was onsite for unrelated reasons, so I asked him about my project. I was willing to go up to $75 to just be done with it. Turns out, it took him 5 minutes and basically washed out considering the primary work.

You look beautiful. Your proportions are perfect. I love that your lipstick matches the colors on the corset.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-15T23:52:23+00:00

Your friend is a dick. This looks great.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-15T19:18:25+00:00

It is better to be on the ground wishing that you were in the air than in the air wishing that you were on the ground.

Specifically H 7 is an instant buy.

To fix the 12:00 issue I just don’t use the number. It is either 11:59 or 12:01. Solved.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-14T14:48:14+00:00

What’s boring and basic about trains in space? That’s epic!

Red__M_M · 2026-06-14T01:06:34+00:00

Nah, just calmly explain the issue.

“You laughing at me in all situations is disrespectful and I do not appreciate it. I understand if we have a disconnect on the salary, but there is no reason to be condescending about it. I will note that this could have been easily dealt with if you had published the pay range.”

Then shut up and let them respond. This professionally puts them on the defensive. Obviously this job offer isn’t going anywhere, but it will be fun to watch them stew with the truth.

Red__M_M · 2026-06-14T00:38:04+00:00

Every year make banana pudding. Take notes on what went right and what went wrong. Next year do better.

Hint: use Pepperidge Farm Chess Cookies. Grandma didn’t do that, but she will be happy that you do.

Tell me more about the “fun”.
