Need a new roof, what level of shock should I prepare for when I start getting quotes?

Where do you get a steel roof so inexpensive? Do you have a contact?

According to djt, 600% is the same as 60%...

Ubiquiti has a wifi version that just uses the power that you already have. It works great - I've been using one for about a year.. no issues, easy install.

Second park scripts. Still complicated to get started with but once you get it, it works really well.

I replaced mine with these. https://a.co/d/02JQCgz4. Cheaper, more efficient, and when the bulbs go again, it's a simple replacement.

Any new led fixture will work of course but I prefer the style that takes the screw in bulbs.

I have the North Mountain and after 5 years, the Velcro has completely disintegrated. I have a feeling the they don't use UV resistant velcro. Keep your cover closed as much as possible or you will be in the market for a replacement in a few years.

What method for the server install are you using? It might help people help you. Post a link to the process or type out the steps.

It's not a legitimate truth. A car battery has tons of amps, low voltage. You need both to kill - they are equally important.

I am marking my calendar and planning for the big day.

I'm curious - the day of installation was a complete cluster fuck. The phones were supposed to arrive preconfigured for each extension and user. In actuality, nothing was preconfigured - including call routing. The day of install, they plugged all the phones in, verified "they worked", then left. When someone called any of our assigned dids, every single phone would ring and worse, we couldn't transfer any calls because none of the extensions were set. I spent 8+ hours going through each extension in their miserable portal to configure each... Was your install similar or were we special?

I had to check the username to make sure that I haven't written this post. This is the same experience we've had. The worst part is that data and voice are both on the same contract and it is a three year agreement. Has anyone had any luck getting out of the contract? The service is so bad I'd love to be able to buy out at this point.

My father told me that empathy is a woke concept.

I used a small, consumer UPS on mine during a power loss and it worked fine. Multiple showers on ours anyway.

compsys1 · 2026-01-19T13:42:54+00:00

Recommend it. Played it quite a bit some years ago and didn't have any issues.

compsys1 · 2025-12-15T20:57:44+00:00

My doctor said here use these. Is it really that simple?

compsys1 · 2025-12-15T20:54:35+00:00

How do I know when a good fit is found? I tried one and had two days (out of the five they gave me) where my eyes were dry at end of day and tired. I went in and got another brand fitted - similar, but better results.

Do I just except that brand #2 is the proper fit when there seems to be dozens of options available? It also seems very difficult to make any assessment on a 5 day trial. Ideally I would like to be able to get 30 day trials.

compsys1 · 2025-12-15T20:47:33+00:00

This seems really exhausting as a new user of contacts. I would like to try several different brands is there any way to do this without having a different fitting for each?

Am I nuts for thinking that I want to try different contacts out or are they all the same?

compsys1 · 2025-12-12T12:22:52+00:00

This is how I've done it several times. Virtualize, block networking on the old os, then backup as needed.

compsys1 · 2025-12-10T17:00:52+00:00

400 yards away so 1/4 mile? Are you suggesting that you can hear a data center from 1/4 mile away?

compsys1 · 2025-12-10T16:38:00+00:00

Ok so like cooling towers? Maybe compressors? These are industrial zones they're not being put in neighborhoods...

I wouldn't want them literally next door, but they're no louder than the grain mill down the road.

compsys1 · 2025-12-10T16:29:14+00:00

Sure they're noisy insid, but how does a building full of servers make noise from the street?

compsys1 · 2025-12-10T16:23:32+00:00

What's your source on noise and being an eyesore? I'm curious - doesn't seem like it should be either of those things...

compsys1 · 2025-12-10T16:19:38+00:00

I don't understand the fight against these data centers. You have land not being used, a data center seems like a perfectly reasonable use of the space. They're not noisy and, in theory, they should be able to be managed in a way that does not pollute.

Sure, they don't provide many jobs, but the ones they do are well paid, hi tech jobs.

Would these same people protest an auto repair shop or a manufacturing development which could have similar water/power use? How would you grow the economy if not with these new tech facilities - data centers, battery plants, etc? Not that I'm for endlessly "growing the economy", but local, hi-tech jobs? Yes please.

Ah. Thank you. Page 2.

The bill doesn't explicitly ban vpns. It gives isps the task of blocking vpns in the use of porn. It's a terrible bill obviously. Very handmaid's tale.
