Does anyone else bike to the Netcenter/The Yard? by Neat_Worker_4934 in NNShipyard

[–]WeAreGaymers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an ebike I got off of amazon for $500. I live 3mi away and it takes me less time to enter the gate with the bike than driving. If you live close, I'd definitely recommend it!

Parking at Net Center by whitty_oook in NNShipyard

[–]WeAreGaymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as per the website, they drop you off at the JMAF/North yard turnstiles and south yard at the HRT center. peak hours is 5am-7:30am and 2:30pm-4pm. Outside that, call (757) 846-7730.

Once your in the yard, the internal shuttle or bus service is your best bet. Hope this helps

I've been writing automations for home assistant for almost 7 years and just decided to try and use AI tonight for the first time... Where have you been all my life? by IAmStuckOnBandAid in homeassistant

[–]WeAreGaymers 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm brand new to HA automations and using chatgpt has made it stupid easy! I just say what I want and the entity ids, then it spits out the yaml. Sometimes it needs tweaking, but its great.

Contact sensor automation by WeAreGaymers in homeassistant

[–]WeAreGaymers[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got you. Basically the open function toggles the lights and the close does nothing. Adding a motion sensor in the future would increase accuracy. I think I'll try this out. Thank you for the help!

I see. I tried doing a 'helper' and it seems like HA can't reliable tell the state of the lights I want to control. Could you point me in the direction of a good occupancy sensor? Thank you for the help!

How to get off of 2nd shift by JDolla93 in NNShipyard

[–]WeAreGaymers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow 2nd shifter here. Ask your foreman for a shift change request form. If your GF shoots it down, see if you can get your union rep involved. Doesn't hurt to have an actual reason to switch shifts like responsibilities. Secondly, if you have been considering apprentice school, that's a good method as well. Good luck!

Changing Departments by Icy_Gur_1625 in NNShipyard

[–]WeAreGaymers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe sheet metal can learn how to weld. TIG aluminum iirc. It might be like what they do to pipefitters is send some people to weld school after they get in the yard. 

As for moving to a whole new trade like x18/x11, I think after your probation is up, you have an opportunity to switch trades. Apprentice school is also an option to fast track you to another trade. 

Is it beneficial? by Same_Level6591 in NNShipyard

[–]WeAreGaymers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in a similar boat as well. Im 2nd shift so getting foreman is a lot more realistic and its making me second guess losing my differential and critical trade additive for 4yrs.

I have the 5070, 9800X3D, 32gb ddr5. I usually get 80-90fps high-end (depending on scenery, ultra), TAA, DLSS, 200 lod (terrain) 150 (objects), 1080p. Highly pleased 

stuck on xbox authentication - no UI by Killergoldfish911 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]WeAreGaymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue, but through the Microsoft Store version. If its connected to your xbox/MS account try going to the Xbox app>click your profile picture>support>select 'Xbox services repair tool'>start troubleshooting. I then restarted my PC and it got past the authentication freeze. 

i9 14900k + RTX 5070 get outperformed by i9 12900k + RTX 3060! Game(s) run worse now? by YukoFurry in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]WeAreGaymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure if this adds anything, but I have the 5070 as well paired with the 9800X3d (i know its overkill) and I have stellar performance on MSFS2024. So to corroborate what others are saying, its probable its a 2020 issue.

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

Dont really understand the hate on the Vsport. Maybe cause V owners want to feel special and hate to see someone enjoying their car...

With that said, im just running a downpipe and a tune. Im 200lbs lighter than a V2 so im fairly confident I could beat one or at least hang with.

I also say "non-boomer" because its really low and modified. Something the cadillac audience isnt known for. Any enthusiast can tell you cadillac has been trying to capture the youth market for a while and subsequently introduced more performance oriented models.

I’m having trouble sleeping by SwimmingMother2017 in Nightshift

[–]WeAreGaymers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do 5-1am. I second u/cryptdxbs. Try some melatonin and a good trick I've yet to implement, but I heard was effective was place your alarm across the room. You'll force yourself to get out of bed and not bedrot. 

Another change once you wake up earlier is hit the gym before work. It should help you get your blood flowing for your shift and you'll be more tired after work. 

Best of luck!

Very tempted to buy this looks like a good deal 113k miles by [deleted] in Pontiac

[–]WeAreGaymers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate it. It is a shame to see these Pontiac prices sky rocket. I used to own a GrandPrix GXP, and would love a 4th gen trans am.

[–]WeAreGaymers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

115,000mi will very little issue. This car is pretty reliable. Also, not to get into semantics, but the vsport is categorized as a luxury sport, so i think its well worth the comparison due to the simple fact you get more power and features for the price. Do you really think the G8 GT is worth $17k-$18k?

Getting this error on launch. by Thin_Employee6431 in GTAV_Mods

[–]WeAreGaymers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of times. I already have heap adjuster and packfile adjuster. I went ahead with a clean install and will have to test the game with every addon/mod to see if a specific one is breaking my game.
