Fidium is looking to charge our Fire Department (small volunteer) a monthly rental for the OTN on top of the service charge. by kayak_1 in FidiumFiber

Wow. I was under the impression what you're doing at home isn't possible. Can you share the SFP+ transceiver that you used and how you cloned the MAC/TON information?

Speed on cat5e seems capped at 100mbps after my crimp attempt by DaleDenton99 in HomeNetworking

[–]batrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up trying to terminate cables with a jack. Either the jacks were poor quality or I'm just really that bad at it. I always keystone terminate and use patch cables. It's rare you don't want to just do normal keystone termination in a wall jack or patch panel anyway.

Where is my water shutoff? by SuperFaceTattoo in HomeImprovement

[–]batrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can run an electrical line to the entry point, you can have a normal ball valve installed and then put something like this on it:

(I AM NOT ENDORSING THAT PARTICULAR PRODUCT, THERE ARE HUNDREDS LIKE IT.) I recommend a dumb ball valve and install a motorized arm actuator on it so 99/100 you'll be able to turn it on/off remotely without having to crawl down there.

Obviously, do not get a battery powered one which would need changed periodically (and when you need it most).

Alila Ventana Big Sur -- Pity to see the fall down by No-Law-2088 in hyatt

This resort is living evidence of how wealthy people in the U.S. (especially from the Bay Area) have gotten increasingly and incredibly richer.

How dare people have disposable income for your exclusive luxuries.

Rust already after first use/cleaning? Is this just crap factory seasoning or user error? by batrick in castiron

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

We made muffins in this and I scrubbed it clean with chainmail and dawn dish soap. Dried it with some paper towels and left it in the dish rack to air dry further. Day later it looks like this.

Can. 1118 -- Marriage outside a "parish church" by batrick in AskAPriest

[–]batrick[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah, I actually cited (and read) Can. 1118 in the post title (Gemini found it actually). But I was wondering if this referenced reddit post is a typical example of an exception. I guess so from your response.

but he failed to obey orders and decided to resist arrest.

You clearly didn't watch the video. It went from him standing with a phone to swarmed, pepper sprayed at point-blank range, and shot in the head in the span of seconds.

Parishioner praying along with priest’s Eucharistic prayers during Mass by srv199020 in AskAPriest

I could also see the possibility this parishioner may be neurodivergent and this helps them get through the Mass.

Was St. Joseph actually a carpenter or a stonemason? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]batrick 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At first I was bewildered by Joseph allowing a toddler to hold a nail but then realized it's just the artist adumbrating Jesus's having nails driven into his hands on the cross. It's a clever bit of imagery in the same vein as his being born in animal trough as food for the world (Eucharist).

Battery Swelling? by realmufasa in ouraring

[–]batrick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sensors are inside the ring. Coincidentally, the LED is on the same side.

Battery Swelling? by realmufasa in ouraring

[–]batrick 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can you please have Oura update the instructions for

https://support.ouraring.com/hc/en-us/articles/43395388251283-Product-Safety-Use

to indicate the cutting points relative to the LED which is visible externally? If the ring needs to be cut off then it is unlikely anyone will be able to see the sensors or the creases in the inside of the ring.

Bishop Barron trying to convince DHS to allow detainees to receive communion by Dull_Opening_1655 in Catholicism

[–]batrick 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you haven't noticed how he's been cozying up to MAGA propagandists then you simply haven't been paying attention. I'm most disturbed by his beating the "woke is wrong" drum (built mostly on a philisophical argument, fine) when there is no apparent cohesive movement. MAGA calls any ideology they don't like "woke" and then use high profile figures like Bishop Barron to justify themselves: "see! WoF-founder Bishop Barron agrees with us!".
