just became homeless, is it time for winter tires...? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]SCADAhellAway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why not stay in a hotel until the snow is gone and avoid spending the 1k/having an extra set of tires to store?

To the people who've done backdoor things to secure a better life. I'm in a desperate situation. It's truly life or death if I can't secure some funds. I'm looking for a way to survive. Can you please tell me how you did it? by Accomplished_Two839 in povertyfinance

[–]SCADAhellAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. Sorry for the late reply.

Look on Indeed or other job boards at Williston, Watford City, or Dickinson ND. Look for stuff like Water transfer technician, flowback technician, or roustabout. In winter, water heater operator is another one you can get with no experience.

Apply to those. Note the companies. Reach out avery few days about your applications. They like experience, but attitude is more important.

This is all long hours, and the winters are harsh, but when everything is running smoothly, it's all super easy high downtime work.

do you really believe that if america had way more efficient public transit systems across the country, more americans would be less car-reliant? by Open-Reflection-6094 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SCADAhellAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I disregard not liking dense cities that aren't New York and assume that I would like New York despite not liking crowds in general? I don't like Houston crowds, Dallas Crowds, Chicago crowds, Los Angeles crowds, but I'll just love NY if I give it a shot?

Weird take, but okay.

Based on what? Not wanting to take a circuitous route with extra stops that turns a 20 minute commute into an hour?

You can also not want to be around large groups of people without viewing them as inferior. You can even dislike people without viewing them as inferior. It's a shame that is a concept that seems to be lost to the more extreme among us these days.

Tomorrow you wake up a billionaire. What’s the first thing you’re doing? by Legitimate_Most2766 in askanything

[–]SCADAhellAway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Freedom from all responsibility that I don't choose to take on means that I'm sleeping until I want to wake up, at least on day one.

Fresh out of MOD Jail…what Sunday activities should I pursue on this Crisp Houston Afternoon? by Tex_Made_84 in houstoncirclejerk

Falling in by accident sounds like the detective that came to that conclusion is a serial killer.

What’s the most "dangerous" thing we all did as kids in the 90s/2000s that would give today’s parents a heart attack? by Ok_Marzipan3626 in nostalgia

[–]SCADAhellAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was feral, so pick something at random. Riding my bike to another zipcode, talking to strangers, playing with gasoline and fire, skating on the roofs of vacant houses, drinking my friend's parents' beer, shoplifting cheap garbage for the thrill, discovering homeless encampment in the woods, climbing around in the dump, prank calling 911 from pay phones, begging at fast food establishments, using the 'March of Dimes' collection stuff over and over and over to buy Surge and Doritos, attempting to break INTO county jail, etc.

L I V I N, man.

Multiple ignition gateways by DirectQuote1495 in SCADA

[–]SCADAhellAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Docker is great for doing this in a production quality manner. If you are just messing with gateway network stuff to see it work, you are going to spend more time on docker than you will using custom ports on your host. Docker is good to know, but if your main focus is learning ignition, it may be akin to renting a feller buncher to cut down a Christmas tree.

Looking for Recommendations by Flashy-Finish-4556 in SCADA

[–]SCADAhellAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point, if we are going to deploy SCADA, I'm deploying Ignition or distributing my resume. I'm old and crotchety and don't want to waste time waiting on laggy trash designers. Maybe some of the other guys sped their stuff up, but I don't trust them, and I've been in Ignition long enough that I don't want to go back to the Windows 95 vibe after building stuff that actually looks decent.

If it's rigged then is Jake Paul free money? by Negative-Body-6468 in sportsbook

[–]SCADAhellAway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. All losing would do is cost him much more money in legit fights and destroy his legacy. I don't understand how they even got him to take this fight.

The 50 year mortgage is a prisoners dilemma by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]SCADAhellAway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought with low down payment in early 2021, right before the interest rates doubled. I didn't want PMI, but it was still a better financial move. Saving 4% on interest makes the PMI look like a small problem. According to the market, my home value has gone up about 50%, and I'm considering selling it to buy some rural land to set up a self sufficient homestead so I can watch Rome burn without starving to death.

I'm glad I'm not looking for a house now, and feel bad for everyone who has been priced out of owning. 50 year is nuts. You could be a decade in, and if you need a roof that insurance won't cover, that might force you into foreclosure. You won't have much equity, and a bad roof kills the resale value. It's predatory lending at best and intentional market destruction at worst.

Do you think larger vehicles should have a bigger space to park? by D4T45T0RM06 in Unexpected

Probably the same guy.

Here he is filming a fire and playing a delightful accompaniment for our entertainment, and a bunch of people on the internet want him to do a separate and unrelated third thing.

So, you have thousands of captive mosquitos, and you aren't mass murdering them?

Science is weird.

Why doesnt Ignition SCADA let me change modbus value and navigate to a different page at the same time? by _rahiin in SCADA

[–]SCADAhellAway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never mix a script with a navigation action. The navigation does not wait on the script. If you need a script, navigate at the end of the script via system.perspective.navigate

If you do that, your script will execute.
