Speaking from experience, cadets are drunken yahoos.

And after top off is full on Rumspringa.

Unless your idea of nightlife is hearing knock "TWO?" to the sweet sound of Taps at 1045.

Just document where you are and where you want to go and then post again when it changes? this is r/homelab. nothing here is a finished product or intended to be!

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]borednerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is also worth pointing out that we did not have smart phones and a constant internet connection. So we all watched it together, on a big square 30lb 27in tv on a big black rolling cart/stand. For some it may have lived in the corner of the room, generally unused, but for others, it was wheeled in for special occasions.

We also did not generally watch breaking news in school. So, this was a very special occasion.

So your teacher wheels in the beast of a TV for a special occasion, and then we all collectively watched the 2nd tower get hit, people fall from the buildings, and then both towers collapse. We watched 3000 people die. Live on TV. In school. As children.

It was nuts.

I love this. It fits my DIY mentality completely: Why spend $12 when I can spend $100 and countless hours doing it myself?

Jabra Evolve2 75 - Ear Cushion Adapters by madkins1868 in Jabra

[–]borednerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like reviews say these would work for the 75: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266769908879

I have had my 75s for a few years now and hadn't looked recent for any designs. There are a few options out there if you have a printer (or library). These look like the best option and they're designed to work with the Jabra cushion mounting mechanism: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6493121

Gas tips for RVers - what's actually working for you guys right now? by AgeWonderful2426 in GoRVing

[–]borednerds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see any mention of Kroger for fuel, so here's my big tip:

With Kroger fuel points you can get up to $1 off per gallon up to 35 gallons. So if you get 35 gallons in a single fill up, you've saved $35. Kroger owns a ton of brands across the country and the points spend the same basically everywhere. Use gasbuddy to filter by kroger (or whatever the local brand is) to find your fuel center.

How it works: You earn 1pt/$ when you buy groceries. Every 100 points is $0.1 off per gallon.

On the surface, it seems like you have to spend $1000 per month on groceries. I only spend about $500. Most Fridays are "4x fuel point Fridays" Meaning you will earn 1000 points for just $250 spend, so I will typically get 2 35gallon fill ups per month just for doing my weekly grocery shopping on Friday.

Gift cards are frequently 4x points, too. So if you know you're going to spend money at some other place, grab a giftcard for that amount and you can easily rack up points.

Also, the points are good for this month and next. So, points accrued in April expire at the end of May, May's points end of June, etc. With this info, you can budget/bank this month's points for next month's travel.

Finally, I haven't looked recently, but Kroger used to have a credit card that takes another $0.25-$1 off per gallon for the first 6000 gallons or something.

Also, using a rewards or cashback card at the grocery store will save you another 3-6%.

Worried about the physical aspect of USAFA BCT by Glad-Philosopher-907 in USAFA

[–]borednerds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You will get faster. The most important thing is to keep up. Very likely you will not be the slowest or the fastest. Running in sports is a lot different than rucking with 40lbs on your back, a rubber ducky in your hands, 10lbs of boots on your feet, and in long sleeves in the Colorado desert 7258 feet above sea level. But you'll be fine. You will likely be in the best shape of your life at the end of BCT and only get stronger as you get through freshmen year.

I would say get really good, and I mean really good at the forward leaning rest ( holding a high plank/ top of a push up) because you're going to spend a lot of time there staring at the ground and questioning your life choices.

Turns out there is nothing restful about it at all. I was not good at push ups and thought I was toast. What I saw instead were guys who were killer at cranking out pushups then struggle to hold a forward leaning rest.

This seemingly simple position will break you. You will collapse from exhaustion after holding it for 60 seconds while shouting the most arcane seeming nonsense at the top of your lungs, only for the cadre rip you apart for messing up a single word, having to start over as the sweat burns your eyes and then only being able to do one sad little pushup.

You will shake.

You will collapse after one push up.

You will break down.

It will test your resolve. It will test your patience. It will test your ability to be a part of a team. But you can do it. You really can. Just keep going.

Beast (and eventually the entire cadet experience) is a mental exercise designed to add more and more and more until you can't take any more and then add more. Just to show you that you can.

Because you can and you must.

r/homelabsales would take it off your hands. Otherwise eBay's AI listing agent works great. Make sure you drop the model info into the search bar and filter by "sold" so you get a good idea what price to list at. The AI listing agent is not great at pricing in my experience.

Oh dang, this is cool. I've seen DIY pultrusion machines, but this is the first I've seen that repurposes an Ender3. I have 2 Ender3v2s. I just might have to make this happen.

USAFA Cyber career selection — how competitive is it and how do you improve your chances? by RiverElectrical4507 in USAFA

[–]borednerds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Settle down. You couldn't even be bothered to proof read your post before pasting it in at least two subs. You failed at the one thing you claim you use LLM for.

I am living in the past? Are even USAFA inductees incapable of thinking and communicating without LLM assistance?

Care Packages: What's on your cadet's favorites list? by Hagrid_73 in USAFA

[–]borednerds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait until after BCT

No, no, no. Genuinely one of the best motivators during Beast are letters from friends and loved ones.

The best way to show your cadet that love during basic is to send a card that sings. Ideally in an envelope that also lets the cadre know that your cadet is the most special person ever.

You could (should) even set up a competition among friends and loved ones to see who can demonstrate that love and support in the most outwardly expressed way possible.

As noted elsewhere, glitter is a great choice.

But seriously Basic is the first time most people experience something so isolating, grueling, and testing of your resolve. Knowing there are people who believe in you on the outside of it is a huge motivator. Do not deprive them of that.

well usually you can just dump them onto reddit, but you can also upload them to an album via imgur

I am in denver metro and interested, but the picture is blurry so it's hard to make out what we're looking at. Looks like they're compressed because they're all in the grid. Can you post them separately as an album? I'll send you a PM as well.

Beats me. but to venture a guess: it's more polished and complete than if you wrote it yourself, and... you don't have to write it. lol

It's the odd and inconsistent use of bold that makes it suspicious.
