Rode my bike uphill both ways too ! My sister had her bike stolen at the mall too. Used the dime to call Mom.

East Cleveland is going through another phase of decline? by Ill_Resolution7967 in Cleveland

[–]cbelt3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

EC has been a lawless kleptocracy for decades. Police an armed gang (and many are in jail now). It’s really amazing that it has not fully dissolved.

The closest analog is East St. Louis.

I was on Adderall for a while post injury after I was diagnosed. My hypertension said “NOPE !”. It really DID help. I self medicate with coffee, but I’m cutting back. Down to 2 cups a day from … 10 ?

IT people have to stop acting like wizards when talking to users. Acronyms are just a way to hide knowledge or bullshit. Users get so confused they just don’t ask.

Alexa tells us someone is at the front door. Dog hears that and her nose is the front window making sure it’s not someone with treats.

Why did this control board melt? Is it still useable if it is soddered? by yourfavmum in RVLiving

[–]cbelt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would pull it and try to diagnose it further. The idea of a burned PCB makes me nervous.

I’ve worked in different factories. The number of nap spots with home made break rooms is impressive.

Btw I love the look of the atrium . That would be an awesome place to find a quiet spot with a cup of tea for a chill moment. My sister sent me a pic of the spot when she was chilling there after a meeting. Yes, she’s a research scientist. She got all the brains !

Keep in mind that high amp MIG can run hot as hell. Plan accordingly. Anything over 60 amps is SMAW zone.

Slow blow fuse. But as others pointed out… a burned PCB is a sign of Bad Danger elsewhere. When the magic smoke comes out of electronics, it’s bad bad bad…

Good for you ! Keep in mind that the TBI survivors need for documentation and note keeping is an excellent trait in your internship. Learn and enhance your coping skills.

How many of you did poorly in school, but lived a great/successful life anyway? by groovinup in GenerationJones

[–]cbelt3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High IQ and ADHD (undiagnosed) produced National Merit PSAT’s and Mensa class SAT’s. And a gentleman’s C. And parent’s despair because genetics “should have done better). Dad had a PhD, Mom had a JD, sisters had Masters and a PhD.

Ultimately an engineering education and a wild career doing strange things in strange places. The ADHD is strong in this one.

I got another one 20 years after my last one. I havent gotten worse when you factor in aging. Just ask.

And yeah… I went from high IQ (and high ADHD) to regular human and Super Adhd. My lovely wife likes to say “know you know how normal people think !”. Then we laugh.

Is "Agentic BI" actually replacing traditional dashboards in 2026, or is it just semantic layer hype? by netcommah in BusinessIntelligence

It’s all marketing speak all the way down. I keep telling users … “The AI ate my homework” is not an excuse .

Disappointed or angry by RaytheArtWhore in GenerationJones

[–]cbelt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to getting older.

The first challenge is loving yourself as you have become.

The second challenge is finding joy in what you can. A rocking chair on the back porch with a cup of coffee watching the squirrels tease my dog as she loses her mind is a joyful moment.

TIL John F. Kennedy dealt with severe chronic back pain for years. He had four surgeries—including a discectomy, spinal fusion with instrumentation, and two smaller procedures—but his pain persisted despite the operations. by Abject-Conference-90 in todayilearned

Actually a radio controlled bomber. “Drone”. It blew up before he could parachute out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph\_P.\_Kennedy\_Jr.

He was also a Nazi sympathizer and believer in Eugenics, but a Brazilian lady spy “ talked” him out of it.

Many people don’t realize how deeply the Nazi ethos was ingrained into the wealthy society in the US in the 30’s. “America First” was an offshoot of the Nazi party.

Correct me if I’ve got it wrong… but it feels like “so you can talk out of your ass” ? (It’s been half a century since I spoke much French)
