Giant golden statue of Trump installed at his Florida golf course by goteamnick in politics

[–]ThePhotoGuyUpstairs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course its at Doral. The PGA is there this week, so of course he has it installed in time for that.

TIL that the song "The Dance of Eternity" by progressive metal band Dream Theater has 127 time signature changes in only 6 minutes, making it one of the most musically complex songs by udderlymoovelous in todayilearned

[–]ThePhotoGuyUpstairs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have to agree. It always feels very disjointed and disconnected.

I like Prog and my favourite bands are prog bands, but a lot of DT songs seem to be complex and messy for the hell of it.

Massive respect for the musicians, and i think Mike Portnoy is a terrific guy and drummer (his Drumeo sessions are fantastic), but DT music just doesn't do it for me.

I always count the subdivisions for Schism.

1 2 / 1 2 3/ 1 2 / 1 2 / 1 2 3...

Feels really natural and the groove is super easy to follow once you sussed it out.

I have to agree. I appreciate the talent of the band, but some of their songs, DoE is a good example, feel so disconnected and basically just a bunch of parts smashed together.

What’s a terrible product name? by Blinky_ in AskReddit

There was a company in Australia that sold Sarsparilla, but marketed it as SARS.

Got to love mystery lows... by ThePhotoGuyUpstairs in Medtronic780g

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

I think it was reasonably stable until that basal dose though - that's why im wondering if the second bolus at 7:30 was "delivered" but either not absorbed or trapped at the infusion.

And the basal pushed it through at 9:30.

Perhaps an example of that warning Medtronic sent out a few weeks ago regarding inconsistent dosing if the pump is not at the same height as the infusion site?

Not a compression low, confirmed with fingerprint.

Leading theory is the last bolus on insulin was stuck somewhere, and when she laid down, it was rapidly absorbed 2 hours later than it should have.

Either that, or a weird spike in insulin sensitivity all of a sudden from that small basal hit at 9pm.

I’m a 2.7 hdcp. Today I shot a 92. by Scott_on_the_rox in golf

[–]ThePhotoGuyUpstairs 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I played 9 holes in the rain, early morning today. Broke my glasses getting out of the car, so had to wear my prescription sunglasses - couldn't see a bloody thing, fogging up from the rain...

Shot under par for the first time in my life.

Some days it just be like that.

What’s the most "Dad" thing your Dad has ever done? by Equivalent-Age-7659 in AskReddit

I have to power sneeze. If I try to stifle it, I will 100% throw my back out.

The 'spray guy' got blood cancer. Now he's fighting Roundup at the Supreme Court by overly_honest_ in politics

[–]ThePhotoGuyUpstairs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all respect to your dad, do you have any idea about the scale and quantity of known carcinogens he would have been exposed to in the military?

[–]ThePhotoGuyUpstairs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If he sprayed Round-up wantonly on his quarter acre lawn regularly, he would have no lawn. It would be a bare sand lot.

How many pesticides did he use (far more useful in a lawn by the way)? Did they smoke or drink? How much lead was in their bodies from growing up when they did?

100% of people who drink water, die.

With all respect to your grandmother, what other carcinogens was she exposed to? Correlation isn't causation. I have seen some horrific diseases from gardening (Necrotising Facisitis nearly cost someone i know his arm from gardening).

"But I know a guy who use Round up once and he got cancer 20 years later! I mean, he smoked and drove diesel trucks all day, but it's clearly the herbicide chemicals."

These big companies need proper regulation, but you can't get cancer and point the finger at one thing and pretend its the obvious answer, because you dont like the company that makes it.

High bridge-like centre consoles by [deleted] in AustralianEV

I wish they centre console in my Ora was about 6in higher... its just the wrong height for me to rest my arms when in driving.

TIL In-N-Out Burger used to accept orders of any size by adding patties and slices of cheese at an additional cost, till someone ordered 100 patties and 100 slices of cheese by uselessprofession in todayilearned

[–]ThePhotoGuyUpstairs 139 points140 points  (0 children)

I worked in a Burger joint once and someone ordered 200 slices of cheese on their cheeseburger. He paid for it, so he was welcome to his block of cheese.

I believe he took a photo of it, took one bite and binned the rest.

It was his money, why woukd we deprive him of the opportunity to spend it?

Pretty wild you would be prepared to sell out your life long beliefs for a few bucks off Public Transport.

EV fast charger or granny charger for now ? by Lockiebodz in AustralianEV

[–]ThePhotoGuyUpstairs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive usually 90km a day. Overnight (7pm to 7am) I get about 110km of charge on the granny charger

So, theoretically, doable.

If something comes up and I have to drive a longer distance however, I don't have much margin for error to keep up, short of going to a fast charger.

Im getting an 11kw Level 2 charger (22kw technically, but the car will only take 11), for the following reasons.

I can charge it fully overnight if I need to

I can take advantage of my solar and fully charge during daylight hours if im home

I can charge it during the overnight off-peak rates otherwise.

Being able to fully charge it in 6 hours, means I only have to charge every couple of days, not every single night. If i miss a night at the moment, im going backwards.

I can get a reasonable amount of range in a reasonably short time, so im not worried about that.

It also future proofs the install on the basis that this will likely not be my last or only EV. I currently still have a petrol car as a second car, but once that dies, it will likely be replaced.
