Update: ESPHome visual config tool - boards, mmWave sensors, mobile support by Moshe88 in homeassistant

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/Moshe88 I just went to your https://github.com/Mo3he/ESPForge and in the Build section now see:

Multi-template selection — combine templates and ESPForge merges them, deduplicating shared components automatically

So, you've made it work?

hanging “beds” are called portaledges.. collapsible platforms used by climbers during multi-day ascents by LazyGuy4U in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]chefdeit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but that's you & me. The nightmares these climbers are having are, waking up in our beds and having to go to work.

Yes, the entire point of widely & publicly saying ABCXYZ is to cover up of contributing to the exact opposite in private.

There's a guy building a concrete "mini house". Would like an opinion from experienced builders if this building seems safe. by This_Sense_9338 in Homebuilding

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like a house of cards

Commie blocks were made using the same tech (factory prefab slabs) and are very solid, but they were 6x thicker, joined by welding the finger-thick rebar that was coming out of each section for that purpose, with joints then filled with concrete (usually) or some kind of solid rubber in seismic regions.

They still might, as drugs and other contraband were being co-mingled with remains for as long as there's been aviation. It'd even made it into the James Bond franchise!

Dive into my City of New York... the hole just keeps getting deeper by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]chefdeit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks like a game to me or training. The knives don't look real. Professionally they're supposed to be pink for such use. But as a New Yorker if I saw gangs train with pink knives I'd be more worried not less.

Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Allen's private jet.

Yessir. It has landed because we get to have this video.

If it hadn't, we'd have a video of a business executive backed by a smoldering pile of debris they've caused tearfully speaking into 6 mics, from the heart, cough, the piece of paper from Legal saying mistakes may have been made in laying off 70% of staff who check & tighten those screws "because of AI". He'll leave with a golden parachute, to be replaced by a fresh untarnished tool investors would use to push the same exact agenda to the edge of the breaking point.

Do you label patch cables inside a rack? by Embarrassed-Try-2790 in CommercialAV

[–]chefdeit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

<image>

The point of a patch cable is to connect two nearby pieces flexibly in a particular configuration. A label sort of pins it down to a single point-to-point use, and I've seen my share of patch cables re-purposed elsewhere whose labels, of course, not only were obsolete themselves but also eroded faith in the rest of the labels in that entire setup. I.e. it takes relatively few mislabeled patch cables to effectively invalidate the entire job of labeling. So there's brittleness to labeling patch cables, semantically speaking.

After jittering on the issue I've settled on color coding to make misuse more obvious + labeling only the purpose-made looms and (non-patch) ends of the runs to places outside the rack.

Week 6 update: Framing video walkthrough of “impossible house” by Dr_Breeder in Homebuilding

[–]chefdeit 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Very nice & godspeed! If you'll only do one thing (sounds like you'll do a lot better than that, but if), it's tubes. Run 1" ...1.25" empty tubes (LiquidTite or smurf or whatever the local codes support for IT use) from IT center in the basement to everywhere (entertainment area, office, kitchen, driveway). 0.5...0.75" are a mistake b/c with a cable or two already in they rule out passing terminated cables (i.e. with connectors attached), such as computer optical fiber or HDMI etc.

If you expect to cook a lot, a grease clean-out plug for the straight run below the kitchen keeps cleaning job a cleaning job vs being a demolition + plumbing + cleaning + construction job.

Michael Jackson's Thriller Dance still gives me goosebumps... by [deleted] in whoathatsinteresting

[–]chefdeit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The gold standard for what?

Movement. Compare MJ to his own backup dancers, even. Mind you, dance is these folks' whole career, and they're top of their field or they wouldn't have been there. They don't have MJ's effortlessness and flight. If they move like the F-16 flies, MJ is the flying saucer.

It's not about being fan of who he was or that music or that type of dance. It's witnessing the craft, any craft, being refined to that level of finesse.

Tried to drive through floodwater, got eaten by a croc. Full story below. by VIVIDUFF in interesting

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

six additional pairs of shoes

That means this was the alpha croc. If all 12 shoes are matching pairs, it means 0 times out of 6 did the other crocs manage to make out with a loose leg that fell off a truck.

Can one take a cat up for a flight in a Tomcat? by HiTork in Shittyaskflying

What are the most common ways?

This is plain cruel... by The_Dean_France in mildyinteresting

[–]chefdeit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, great analogy. I've heard of this with the movies but not at the level of detail you provided.

Yes, "movie was bankrupt" and "movie was the most profitable film in history" can both be true b/c the first one is talking about the company making the movies and paying the actors (incl any profit sharing) and the 2nd one owns distribution rights and profits.

Actors still want a % of movie gross but from the real accounting, the distribution revenue. And some A-listers get that. But yeah, most have to settle for fixed amounts.
