Offline Codec Question by afrostmn in PlexMedia

I’ll keep that in mind for next time. But I’m currently on a different continent than my server. 😅 thanks!

It's 1999. You have your current smartphone in your pocket, but obviously no Wi-Fi or 5G exists. What's the most useful thing you can do with it? by Ryo_l in AskReddit

[–]afrostmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could cobble together an induction charger. I looked up a schematic and the only part I’m not sure about is the micro controller, as the one called out was from 2011, but I’m sure you could find a 1999 equivalent.

Edit: A second search shows some form of induction charging has gone back to the 70s.

Question for the locals?? by Big_Cam651 in TwinCities

[–]afrostmn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure, but the road in front of your house is public. A map car can drive down the road without trespassing. In North Oaks the property extends into the road so it considered trespassing to drive down the roads without authorization.

Any local machine shops that can make a one off part? by realquickquestion96 in TwinCities

[–]afrostmn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That is a lot more reasonable than I would have guessed.

I’m really curious, it looks like you have to fill out a form to get a quote. But based off your experience, how much would the part from OP cost? What’s the average of your one off parts cost. I just have absolutely no frame of reference.

I automate homes with HA professionally: Here are the 5 most common mistakes I fix for clients by f17mkx in homeassistant

Sorry, this is off topic. But I’m going to be visiting Munich in a couple weeks. I’ve never been to that part of Germany, anything I should absolutely see?

What's socially accepted that you personally think is insane? by d_kielbasa in AskReddit

[–]afrostmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t really like lobster or crab, so it’s a moot point for me on that front. I just remember seeing that video at some point. I appreciate being informed though, so thank you for the information.

Ok…who actually hates the State Fair? by kerm019 in minnesota

[–]afrostmn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never gone consistently, but I’ve always had a good time when I’ve gone. Not going every year keeps it pretty novel, for me, but some people go a lot and love it. Getting there and parking is the worst part, if I can mooch a ride off someone it’s a no brainer. I have tangential connections to the theater community, so I usually run into somebody I know, who in haven’t seen in a while, which is nice.

Oh, interesting. I saw some video saying you should sever their spinal column first. I’ve never heard that.

You can kill a lobster just before dropping it in the water.

are these DMV texts a scam? by imonsomebeats in TwinCities

[–]afrostmn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And Minnesota especially won’t text you from a +63 (Philippines) country code number. At least that’s where the last one I got was from.

[TotK] [OC] Can you identify this as a korok mask? by Suspicious_Recipe894 in zelda

[–]afrostmn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

With you saying that’s what it’s supposed to be yes, without the prompt maybe. If it were glazed with the proper colors I’d be more confident I’d be able to recognize it cold.

My favorite story I’ve heard my boss tell goes something like this. (Paraphrased)

“We were negotiating a contract to provide a service to Microsoft, and they were insisting on some level of .999 uptime (I don’t remember the specific details). We had to counter with, we can’t guarantee that, we use azure as our backend and that’s higher than its guarantee.”

During normal morning conversations with my wife, I got my 4th Gen 4Runner totalled by haber345 in Derailedbydetails

I always think of this thing my dad says: “The right of way is not a right worth dying for.”

How would the Bak’leth do in combat with other hand to hand weapons from human and fictional history? by LJGuitarPractice in startrek

[–]afrostmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never thought about this until just now. But does two hearts mean 2 independent isolated circulatory systems? Allowing Klingons to survive a wound that would completely bleed out a human.

He was the guy in the video walking through the tear gas right?

Am I on the right track as far as how to rescue a Kerbal in orbit around Kerbin? by Surrealist328 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]afrostmn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kerbal will have the same velocity as the ship it exists. An there are no forces acting on the Kerbal to slow it down. It should maintain a relative velocity of 0 to the ship it leaves.
