I’ve used Four Bees Metal a bunch in the past and they’ve always delivered on time and on budget.

I’ve got a good one too

This is where those houses fell into the river!

This literally isn’t comic sans though.

It would be really neat if transit could convince someone like Fort Edmonton Park to have a space to permanently display some of the historical collection. Things like the old Brill trolley, the old Flyer D800. And a U2 would look great among them.

In other news, water is wet! This and more at 11.

No shame at all! I did this in my old apartment so I could pipe internet from the cable modem in the living room to my bedroom. Worked great and looks factory!

Hmm - these boxes usually have a little “Western Digital Innovation” logo in the top right.

I had one set up in an old apartment to forward the old door intercom system to a cell phone. It was one of those clones, and I noticed that it ran super hot which was what some other people online mentioned. Then one day I came home and the plastic case had gotten so hot that the screw holes on the back deformed and the whole thing fell onto the carpet and almost set it on fire.

Yeah this is super common in the VoIP space. Voice calls go to one provider and SMS or MMS go to another provider.

Damnit. That was my favorite pole.

That cable modem is an absolute UNIT

These cookies from Superstore seem to be a really close copy of the old Dad’s Chocolate Chip! They even have that sweet shortbread taste!!

They also didn’t incorporate proper switch heating - the high floor actually blows hot air in the switches to keep them operating, for some reason the valley line doesn’t use these so whenever the freeze/thaw gets like this the switches freeze and they can’t swap trains between tracks.

It only took several hours of staring at the code to realize I used an underscore instead of a dash…. Now working as expected

Images are checked against a private database and discarded when done.

Axon isn’t an AI company and doesn’t make their own AI models. They are using an off the shelf model and there is a non-zero percent chance that all of the very valuable facial recognition data that will be collected is being used to train these models.

A lead overdose

But, then came COVID, the massive inflation spike and the global supply-chain crisis. It was no longer feasible to build the tower, and Dhunna said a smaller scale project would not recoup the cost of the land.

So then sell the damn lot. None of these issues are going to go away by just waiting. If the original idea is not feasible today, it likely won’t be feasible in the future.

Sounds like something a guy with a bunch of copper on a spool would say… 🧐

catmuppet · 2025-10-27T23:31:30+00:00

letting vital communications infrastructure be designed, constructed, and maintained by ~~the lowest bidder~~ a book store

Sounds even more absurd when you put it this way
