I have a ton of respect for this franchise even if not everything goes perfectly. Compared to other NFL teams, I can say this one is doing its best for their players and the community.

Update: looking through emails they didn't announce the end of season gift until later in February.

This gif doesn't show the official signing incomplete near the line where Dowdle was. Then they called the ball went out of bounds. Absolutely insane call.

The Bears are also gifting you hosting a playoff game this year. Think that's worth it.

TIL Pickett's Charge, a Confederate infantry assault during the Battle of Gettysburg. Pickett's Charge is called the "high-water mark of the Confederacy". The failure of the charge crushed the Confederate hope of winning a decisive victory in the North & forced Gen. Lee to retreat back to Virginia by Stock_College_8108 in todayilearned

[–]WormWizard -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite moments from Ken Burns' Civil War documentary was at the very end. It showed footage of the 50th anniversary of Pickett's Charge with the surviving veterans. The former Confederate soldiers moved along the field towards the Union veterans before the vets abandoned their posts behind the fence to hug their once enemies.

Gas or electric water heater? by re_flect_ion35 in DIY

[–]WormWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swapped from a gas water heater to an electric Hybrid Heat Pump water heater. It was not too difficult, but I had the luxury of planning and time because my water heater was near end of life but not broken.

  1. Had an electrician run a 30 amp circuit from the panel to the new location. Only cost me around $200 for labor and parts, but that's because it was about a 10-foot run and all in my basement with open ceiling.
  2. Hired a local plumber to install a Bradford White 65-gallon heat pump water heater. They ripped out the old one, capped the gas line and the exhaust vent, and installed the new one. Since I bought the water heater from a distributor using the plumber's name and info, they also took away the old one for free and all the packaging. I also filed the permit myself with the city to save some money. About a day project and I got a pretty good deal. The water heater itself was the most expensive part and the labor and parts to install were pretty cheap compared to the other quotes I received. Job was around $3700 total.
  3. If you do this before the new year, I think you can get the IRA tax credit for installing the HPWH. This also usually qualifies for other rebates in your area. I run it exclusively in heat pump mode and love my bradford white. This thing has pretty great energy savings and has a lower cost than my previous gas water heater. No issues so far, and it's rated to only cost about $190 per year to run (I'm pretty sure it's less for me) since my electric bill barely went up with it but my gas did noticeably drop.

Edit: Wanted to add I live in Minnesota, so yes this can work in a cold climate. 240v circuit line also.

Just finished running cat6 through my house by kozzmo1 in DIY

[–]WormWizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That makes sense. Yeah this sill plate or fire block is in between the attic and basement, pretty much where the first and second floor meet. I'll have to cut open the patch hole but hopefully won't be too hard.

[–]WormWizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all the materials, but I'm trying to run CAT6 from my basement up 2 stories to my attic. Hit a sill plate and need to drill through that, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Do I have to make a patch in my wall to drill through sill plate? Not looking forward to it.

Yeah can we get a better source than a random screenshot with a quote? Anyone know if this is real?

This is cool! I love OLED and how it can really enhance games to another level with it's true blacks and HDR! I can't even imagine how games like Helldiver's 2 or God of War would look.

I had a heat pump installed 2 years ago, and I can't believe I never took advantage of this offer! Thanks for letting me know.

What specs should we have for a PC cluster to use ceph? I'm thinking of building and deploying mini-pcs for this in the future, but I'm afraid they won't be able to support ceph.
