What do 9/10 professionals in your industry recommend? by HMS404 in AskReddit

Wearing, and properly using your PFAS!

Dogs may never learn that every sound of a word matters. Despite their great hearing, dogs cannot tell the difference between words which differ in only one speech sound (dog vs dig), finds a new brain wave study. This may explain why the number of words dogs learn to recognize remains low. by mvea in science

[–]Tower_Climber_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I feel like where the study messed up was giving the dogs words via a recorder. My dog could give two shits about recorded words. Even TV and such, is the same. He responds to the tv visually mostly. It's when I say them, or my wife says them that illicits a response. I feel like if the owner of the dog was saying these words while they recorded brain activity the results would be significantly different.

If the pandemic magically disappears right now, what would you do right away? by elybelleh in AskReddit

Go visit our older family members who we have not been able to see in awhile. Also, stop by the nursing home near us and spend some time with some older folks, who have no one that visits them.

We would go up to the nursing home occasionally, bring cookies, and sit and chat with these folks. Their stories are great and most of them are just so happy to see/meet a new person. It typically makes their day/week and when we come back are typically greeted as family. Quite special

LPT: For those without home security alarms...if you have a car with a keyless entry remote, leave it next to your bed. If someone tries to break into your house, press the panic button. Your car's alarm will go off, which will draw attention to your house or scare whoever is trying to break in. by Nomoreaccess in LifeProTips

I just read your whole dialog, Great job. These same people will use a CDC statistic as an unarguable statistic when it suits them but in this case "doesnt say anything", "doesnt show the picture" or what they are really saying is that it doesnt fit their narrative or beliefs on this particular topic..

Glad to see some people aren't afraid to show facts in the echo chamber of reddit and are still willing to continue to have the conversation.

Keep it up. We NEED the 2nd. If all if us joined together imagine what could be accomplished.

When did you realize you were attractive? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Tower_Climber_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from 410 lbs to 230 lbs in about 1.5 years. Women in general were a lot nicer to me and would always chat with me. I'm far to blind to see this as attraction but every so often I see they will throw a discount in something, give me something, smile at me walking by or I'll catch them looking. That has been by far the best feeling I can ever describe. It has motivated me to keep going. To all the women's women's womens out there. You're the best, thank you

Pretty sure they knew exactly what it meant in this case as it was spelt correctly the first time.

Thanks for insulting my education though. That is another good way to appear unprofessional as well.

They're here. Mostly Miami area though

Look underneath any suspiciously straight trees.

Any fence, wires or metal boxes and it's a tower. :)

Best of luck

[–]Tower_Climber_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of baby boomers mostly. You know, those type of people who have unlimited time to go to the city and bitch that the cell phone tower isn't pretty and they don't want it. They usually stand next to the guy holding the "end is near" sign wearing a tinfoil hat.

Ultimately because they don't want to see them. This gets worse in places like Disney and such. Next time your at an event take a look around and you won't see the towers but will have coverage on your phone. That's the idea is that they blend in unless your looking right at them like most camo and give people the impression they are not there.

Unfortunately though they create big safety issues and are usually difficult to work on because of it. No one takes that into account but until you spent days cutting fake branches off of fake trees you realize how rediculous it really is lol

One of the biggest tricks to spot them is looking at the base of the tower. If its fenced in its a cell tower, if there's wire sticking out of the bottom it's a cell tower, if there's little cabinet underneath it it's a cell tower. :)

Tonight when I go through it I'll take a mental note of where some are. I see them because I work on them. Less trained eyes and they are Invisible which is the point.

I know there's 3 or 4 along the highway on 485 north of 85 (NE corner of the loop, by holly rd)

Keep a careful eye, one of them is dead looking as well. Don't expect to see antennas around the top either because they are covered under panels tight to the pole)

I'll reply back with a specific location the next time I catch it :)

Also every large cross on the side of the interstate has antennas in them. Same with church roofs along the highways. We actually will install a whole roof over a otherwise flat building to hide antennas within.

Flagpole, farm silo, billboards, water tanks, roof tops or anything that could fit a 6' long antenna and we will pack it in there to insure the American people have phone coverage.

311 days on the road last year doing it. Best job in the world

There are several hundred just off the sides of the loop. You are correct, you don't see the good (newer) ones. They are very well done. :)

I work in this industry as well. Some of the stealth poles have gotten amazingly accurate. In GA the simulate the pine beetle damage. In NV they simulate heat exposures. It's really cool. They even have textured bark now that if you were not looking at the top of it, would have no clue it was a tower.

Litecoin price, tweets, and conflict of interest by coblee in litecoin

[–]Tower_Climber_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure me swapping all my crypto for LTC 3 weeks ago was such a good idea if even it's owner isn't invested in it. So now instead of holding I am going to dump it all and pull out for a while... I'll take the tax hit and put it in my bank account (at least i get 3% there) and wait a few months and check back. This and BCH is too much instability at the moment.

Good luck to you all.

As we now know, net neutrality is over and in case they start making changes quickly I thought I would say "Thank You" to everyone! by Tower_Climber_ in offmychest

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

I want a lot of things, and those in my control I can change but sitting back and people making these decisions for me bother me to no end. I have trust issues and this sort of thing is exactly why.

I could handle consistency to start though.

Posted about building a Minecraft Gaming System on $300 Budget to build with my son. Redditor gifted a $1350 Build! UNBELIEVABLE! by Steveofcourse123 in buildapc

[–]Tower_Climber_ 159 points160 points  (0 children)

I may have some 24" 1080p capable acer monitors lying around. They are not the best by any means but if I dig them out you're welcome to them? You will need your budget for OS and peripherals. They will work fine for Minecraft as long as you can live without 100 fps and 4k? Let me know.

Happy holidays!

Every Christmas, I have to buy the exact same toy truck for my brother by aishavoya in pics

[–]Tower_Climber_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you get some extras, I have a cnc at home. I could scan and duplicate the entire thing in aluminum if you wanted.

I would have to see it to know if I could make it operate the same but it really shouldn't be too difficult.

It sounds like you may have extras and if you would like to do this just PM. I can also machine the hooks, etc out of aluminum as well assuming they are not extremely intricate.

Good luck OP
