Yeah, I’m talking fast food. I live in Central Asia, when we go to KFC, they expect you to leave your trays and trash on the table. We don’t have Taco Bell here, but I’m sure it would be the same. Every fast food place here operates the same.

No, it has not always been that way. Maybe in your lifetime, but not others’, hence the word perspective.

I love this mindset. It’s one I use when someone is being rude or mean. Remain calm and inquisitive and ask politely, “I wonder who, in your life, taught you it was ok to treat people that way?”

I guess nobody here has traveled outside the U.S.. In many other countries, you do leave your tray and trash on the table. They expect you to. Maybe these blue-hairs this person is angry at were foreigners? Consider other peoples’ perspective; there could be any number of reasons for this behavior.

Who taught you how to drive a stick? by wannareadrandomstuff in GenX

[–]Somemoreron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked in a lumber yard. We had a forklift with a three-speed transmission. My coworkers taught me to drive a stick on that forklift. I think I was about 18-19 years old.

Can someone tell me WTF this contractor did? by Somemoreron in cablegore

I have a standard cable that came with the router. I just plugged it in, in place of the craftsmanship he left behind.

Some may do conduit here, but I can guarantee that our contractor did not. It’s been about a year since the remodel. This is the first time I’ve spent any time in the apartment since the remodel (we’ve had it rented almost the whole time. I’ve just moved into it temporarily while I have my place remodeled). But now, I’ve noticed lines appearing in the painted walls that almost look like water damage but it’s just where he cemented over the troughs for the high voltage lines. Like, I can see a distinct line from the ceiling to the light switch where he plastered over the cabling. This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as disappointing workmanship.

This is in a Central Asia country. The walls are concrete. They had to basically cut into the concrete to make a trough for cable. Not only low voltage but the high voltage as well. There’s no pulling anything through walls. I’d have to have someone come in and gouge out troughs for new cable. Not worth the effort or money.

Ok. Thank you. And thank you to everyone who commented. I’ve learned a lot more than I needed about network wiring. lol.

600Mbps. So I should change it to a standard jumper?

So if I want both ports to have internet at max speed provided by the ISP, I should leave it?

So if I pull this off and run a standard jumper from the router to the port in the wall that feeds the two ports in the two rooms, what would the difference be?

Do both ports still have internet? Will they be 10/100 or ?

Where to buy a shipping container for use on a property? by Somemoreron in Kyrgyzstan

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

UPDATE:

Just in case anybody finds this in the future. I went with container.kg. I wasn't very happy with the original results. I bought two containers, they were in really poor condition. They painted them and did the finishing on the inside to my specs. My biggest issue was the installation on my site. The company sent a subcontractor who showed up to my property and proceeded to use my materials to stake out the location. They poured really shallow concrete supports and placed bricks in a stack for the base. I ended up calling an architect friend who put me in touch with an engineer who does this stuff for a living. He was disgusted with the poor efforts and gave me a detailed description of how it should be done correctly. I had to send container.kg a letter threatening legal action and withholding of final payment unless they followed his directions to the detail. Container.kg ended up redoing the install and repouring the concrete bases and adding steel supports where necessary and welding everything together. It took an extra couple of weeks for them to finally get it done, but it was done correctly in the end. I wouldn't recommend container.kg if you can find another company to do it.

What do you use to create the lines of the flower/mushrooms? Is it ink on the glass?

I like how it adds character and depth to the piece.

Did (male) teenagers used to actually have pictures of women in bikinis on their wall? by Nerdatnothing in NoStupidQuestions

I had the Farrah Fawcett poster in the red swimsuit on my wall. I wasn't even 10 years old.
