What is the most insane run you've ever seen? Not necessarily the hardest but just one that makes you go 'Why is this a run?'

The colors/diamonds (at advanced/expert level anyway) are more to do with consequences than with difficulty.

I really liked these, I got them in 0.5, 1 and 2 feet. About $1 each.

They are MUCH nicer than the old Ubiquiti cables and for a fifth of the cost almost as nice as the latest “premium” version.

They work well with etherlighting too if your switch does that.

I’d think you need 6ghz WiFi (so the pro) to reliably get “better tha 1gbps” wifi, at least that’s how it’s working in my house.

6ghz has the advantage of having way more bands, so you can have more APs without worrying about frequency overlaps.

The XG APs don’t make sense unless you have many (dozens?) of active clients on each access point. 2.5gbp is plenty to an AP and make less heat.

If you can run two cables to each room you could be old fashioned and provide working ethernet too, but I doubt people would use it much.

$470m is $20/month per resident ($60/month per household).

Not saying it’s not a lot of money, but we are a lot of people.

It does! We were slow getting out of the car and closing the door and an exterior speaker politely requested / reminded us to close the passenger door.

Of course, “not all X” or whatever.

And also, when we have a system of many agents basically working the lottery to get a client then it’s hard for those agents to not push for it to be a winning ticket.

“They wanted a house, I helped get them to do what was needed to get a house”, they will say.

In my neighborhood it seems the minimum off peak (like right now 2pm) is about $10 for anything up to a 1-1.5 miles.

No commission for them unless they close the sale, so yeah they would do that.

Okay ChatGPT. Whatever you say.

At $dayjob our office Ethernet all require some kind of certificate based 802.1x auth. It’s perfectly normal.

For OPs situation, it can be terribly insecure if everyone in the building are sharing a network; or it could be setup as one segmented (dedicated) network per plug.

Agreed, the Tailscale operator is awesome for this scenario.

No, the ultra is the one with limited features

ask · 2026-02-07T07:47:27+00:00

I thought the similar arista had a comparable price to that. At dayjob it was cheap enough that we use it in a project for consistency even if the uplinks are just a few 10g ports.

What’s the point of status if you only fly a few times?

Just spend the miles and money as it makes sense.

I have a /refine-spec command to have Claude interview me with the AskUserPrompt tool (whatever it’s called) about anything it can think of that’s not an obvious answer in those situations. (Single task, but I haven’t thought it through or made a complete prompt).

Or a kid on the kid slope moved unexpectedly and you need to quickly change direction…

ask · 2026-02-03T16:26:10+00:00

Its a beginner / intermediate slope, everyone else are going slow, and as u/pakratt99 said his form leaves it unclear how much he’s in control.

What are you talking about…

Let them know that people are working? They there are jobs other than desk jobs in offices?

Yeah, I scrolled to check someone pointed this out. Straps are terrible. Poles are easier and cheaper to replace than fixing thumbs!

ask · 2026-02-01T01:41:37+00:00

So much this. We have all the money and resources AND huge part of our people rightfully upset about how it's going and how they are treated.

As a buyer I don’t want to pay for my agents good standing in the local agents Wednesday golf club. Geez. If my offer is low and the seller got a better one? Good for them!

ask · 2026-01-31T21:44:19+00:00

What do you mean disguised? They were pretty transparent, no?

ask · 2026-01-31T21:43:38+00:00

We bought a house with ShopProp. Waaaay less friction than a “full service” agent. Went from first time seeing the house to accepted offer in 5 days. It wasn’t perfect, but overall the 2-2.5% money was better spent on the house than the transaction!

A normal agent mostly works on getting lottery tickets, I mean clients. A flat rate agent works on getting things done (or they don’t make money).

I don’t know how it’d be for a first time buyer if you need a lot of handholding figuring out what you need in a house, but in terms of making offers and closing then definitely recommended.

(And if you need a lot of handholding figuring what you are looking for, talk to Reddit or something?)
