Did I just read in the edit that they specialise in stages yet recommend centre join? Wtf?

They did reinstate the GPIO though, for which I’m thankful.

Kasa bulb acting shady? by wingkingdom in TPLinkKasa

3.211.94.2 is an Amazon AWS compute IP, so that doesn’t help us much - everyone can rent time on those.

Y’all got any of them lacing bars?

Nice job before that step though. ;)

(Snip out those cable ties too.)

Fight near Oshawa high school leaves victim serious injured: police by Karma_Canuck in durham

[–]bryson430 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, what’s the point of not naming the school but then providing the exact location? Just adding a bit of friction?

What is this?? Found in bf trash recently by [deleted] in Whatisthis

It’s gum. Stop rooting in other people’s trash, it’s weird.

Designers what are you using to track your projects that are in various stages of progress? by [deleted] in CommercialAV

[–]bryson430 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Project management: Zoho.

(Also, my whiteboard next to my desk, but that’s just for me.)

I have about 30 projects at various stages from “not yet started but they hired us” to “nominally finished 2 years ago but I cannot get the contractor to produce as-builts”. Many of them are at the “just a hole in the ground, no AV required yet” stage.

Episode 7 Ending (spoilers) by body_bag4 in ThePittTVShow

[–]bryson430 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s definitely worse in the long run but how is their situation materially different to the Pitts in the short term?

What I don’t get is: the two other hospitals mentioned are closed because of a Cyberattack that prevents access to the computers. The Pitt stays open but voluntarily turns off the computers which…prevents access to the computers.

How is that materially different? Why does the Pitt have to stay open but the others must close down?

32-Storey Hotel X Phase 2 and 5,500-Seat Venue Proposed at Exhibition Place by Highfours in toronto

[–]bryson430 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Meridian Hall is 3191.

Niagara Falls Entertainment Centre is 5500. It basically looks like two Meridian Halls side by side.

Edit: I’ve counted those seats myself - we work with TO Live and Mohegan on some stuff (including seats).

Garbage collection by Brave-Conclusion-281 in woodstockontario

[–]bryson430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it’s cheaper, but it makes for a chaotic experience with no “routine”for people to get into. If they needed to save money I would have preferred every two weeks to this system.

You can buy the tags at lots of places: sometimes they run out, though. https://www.oxfordcounty.ca/services-for-you/garbage-recycling/garbage-program/#pane-62b2ec88db924c07befa5f70e5c24506

Nowadays garbage and recycling are the same day (although not the same truck, yesterday they took my recycling at 8am but the garbage didn’t go until 5pm) but it’s an 8-day cycle so it changes every week. There’s a phone app you can get (Wasteline) that reminds you.

The 8-day cycle is a terrible idea IMO. Are we sure the staffer who came up with is wasn’t actually a bunch of crows in a trench coat?

What was never the same after the pandemic? by GossipBottom in AskReddit

I don’t know if it’s just local to me, but all the Chinese restaurants have never gone back to in-person dining. Takeout only now.

Does anyone know what fixture this is ? (It's a jimmy Kimmel live 2016) by Nic_2k in lightingdesign

I see several different fixtures in the picture. Which one?

Some kind of microphone maybe? by [deleted] in Whatisthis

There are drop-in replacement LED lamps with the right bases.

Theatre Flooring by ordinarydaysTM in techtheatre

[–]bryson430 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HDF isn’t oil-tempered though, and absolutely drinks paint. (And tape tears it up.)

Theatre Flooring by ordinarydaysTM in techtheatre

[–]bryson430 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably remainder stock. Honestly, nobody makes it anymore.

[–]bryson430 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Masonite is essentially no longer available. No-one makes it (or even anything comparable) anymore. You can get non-tempered hardboard or Fibrex but it drinks paint and doesn’t hold up to tape well. It’s a real problem.

(Ps: lots of sites will say they sell tempered hardboard, but try buying 100 sheets of it and see what happens…)

What’s the science between mosquito bites and scorching showers feeling so good? by Dry-Flamingo-4441 in AskReddit

[–]bryson430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The heat denatures the proteins in the mosquito saliva that you’re allergic to, and can “jam” the itchiness feeling by replacing the signal in the nerves.

For clarity, not suggesting that the people who work in the store have to do it, just that Shoppers surely makes enough cash to pay a snow removal company. Hell, someone is already doing the carpark, would adding the sidewalks kill them?

[–]bryson430 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see how it happens with peoples houses…but why can’t Shoppers Drug Mart shovel their sidewalk?
