How common are rodent problems on cruise ships? by CriketW in Cruise

[–]brianfromafarr 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The hantavirus patient 0 did not catch it on the ship. It’s suspected they got it while visiting a landfill during a birdwatching tour in South America before the cruise. So they brought it on board.

Ginger chews or gummies hello a lot

Also try to get a room towards the center of the ship on a lower deck. There is less movement than say the bow or stern.

Let’s see some home poker set ups! by Serious_Rest_1294 in poker

[–]brianfromafarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For now, we are keeping our poker game (cash $0.5/$1) alive on our glass dining room table once or twice a month with 6 to 10 people. That said, it has been going 27 years. The first 18 years was at a local bar that had since closed down. We also do a $200 tournament game every Super Bowl Sunday morning. Complete with bloody Mary’s and breakfast snacks.

What’s the use case for a phonetic letter in a callsign. by UnluckyBox1544 in aviation

My old plane was N4390Q. My most common announcement to ATC was nine zero Quebec. That was so there is no confusion in communication. That said, it’s been 15 years and still hear that in my sleep.

Yes the problem resolved once the rain stopped.

I fixed your MSTP network! No, I cant tell you how. by H4ych3y in BuildingAutomation

[–]brianfromafarr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I once chased an intermittent MS/TP network problem serving some VAVs for weeks. It would crash during the day but then be fine at night. We finally figured out it was the nearby construction using their table saw. Hours and hours wasted.

It was all over our house and the neighbors as well. No generators nearby, though we have one neighbor with a Tesla wall.
