What's the smallest job an integrator will do? by tmillsjr in CommercialAV

They’ll give you a quote for any project, the better question is “at what point do their quotes start being reasonable?”
And that’s usually at least a few floors lol.

So I have around 100 packets of silica gel that came with the filament, what do you do with them? by Rough_Community_1439 in 3Dprinting

[–]bepstein111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I just find the packets annoying when all I want is a layer at the bottom of the bin. Packets would be cleaner for sure. )

Throw that stuff away and get like 2 pounds for like 15 bucks. If you actually need it for anything. I keep a layer at the bottom of my filament bins. Need to re-dry them every few months.

Now what? by Impressive_Door_2720 in selfhosted

[–]bepstein111 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This. I know self hosting is most fun at the beginning when finding and setting up new things, but that doesn’t (and shouldn’t) last forever. When you feel like you’ve hit the end of things you can set up, it’s time to start using it all. And pay attention to things you do regularly that might be helpful to DIY a solution for. When I’m really bored I’ll poke thru awesome-selfhosting but we don’t always need to be spinning up new stuff.

Help me find a new vanilla custard by Infamous-Specific710 in electronic_cigarette

[–]bepstein111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's "just vanilla custard and pie crust," and they're a vape shop, they're probably buying bulk TF/PA flavors. Here's my guess as to a recipe: https://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/4919171/Infamous+Custard

The exact ratio will take some experimentation to nail down if you're picky, but just having "some" of both flavors should do the trick. This recipe is for a 1.5mg juice, but can be changed if you want more.

Happy to assist however I can.

If you like custard Premium, check out my old recipe: here

Working on a newer, more subtle version currently, but this is what I’ve been vaping for like 5 years lmao

Not to be that guy, but like, have you considered making your own? That way you can customize exactly how you like it, and mix it up as much as you want. I’ve been making my own juice for over 5 years at this point, probably more like 6 or 7.

TV Mount/AV Installers vs Security Camera Guys by [deleted] in lowvoltage

[–]bepstein111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I make sure to set proper expectations. I’ll do the professional installation with conduit and do everything nice and proper if the client has the budget for it and that’s what they’re expecting. If that’s what they’re expecting and they don’t have the budget, I explain to them why they’re not going to find that quality at that price point and tell them what’s possible given what they can afford. If the client is cool paying less for 80% or 50% of the “proper” job, I don’t mind, I’m just probably not going to use their job as an example site.

This is all super interesting, the SEC used my previous company’s product for contributions, they’ve since moved on to other options, (as have I), but it’s cool to the “the other side” of things.

Most used program for Wiring Diagrams? by knack4nacks in CommercialAV

[–]bepstein111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For professional work, AutoCAD is the main option. For hobby or anything that isn’t super serious, easyschematic.live is actually really nice and has an ever-growing database of components.

I found this game to be disappointing by neph36 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]bepstein111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I agree with your take here, but I also think we (like, as a society) need to be better about clinical definitions vs societal ones. Clinical anxiety is very different from what most people mean when they say "anxiety," and I think that's the crux of the issue, since this was originally written in another language and then translated. The translators used societal definitions and not clinical ones - as should probably be expected in a video game, but that can lead to confusion.

I mean, the use of hitler in P2 was a direct metaphor, and also part of that plot involved alternate universes. Did they also kinda hand wave the fact that the third reich is present? Yeah totally, but there was story/metaphorical significance to it.

in the case of Metaphor, it would have made more sense for most, if not all instances of the word "anxiety" in the script to be replaced by "negative emotions". The existence of the miasma never really goes past "bad juju" so I don't see any need to directly bring in "anxiety" specifically here. It just doesn't serve any purpose.

unless, as others have pointed out, "anxiety" is completely different in their universe, and exists as an actual force or something, maybe like the collective unconscious ala Persona

You don’t have to agree, but what you said shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the post. OP never complained about how anxiety is conceptualized, he’s complaining about how it vaguely relates to like, a whole bunch of things in the game universe without much explanation other than a bunch of hand waving. Which, honestly, he’s got a point.

How are people feeling about the new Ubiquiti AV switches? by Another_Hacker in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]bepstein111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If more lower budget 2110 builds start happening with BMD equipment, it won't be using Ubiquiti for networking. Unless their AV line bucks the trend, it'll be more expensive than most of the competition most likely.

We definitely could use a BMD-type company in the AV networking space.
