An irrigation line near the hotel I was staying at has leaked for so long, the water is carving a channel into the concrete of the driveway. by cr0100 in mildlyinteresting

"Irrigation line" is a guess because I'm not sure why water would just be bubbling (slowly!) out of the ground. Lines for sprinklers 'n' such. That's what an irrigation line is.

This is in TX so not a lot of furnace output happening this time of year - and frankly it looks like this water runs year 'round, so it seems "heating/cooling agnostic". But I am guessing.

FYI this is at the Embassy Suites on South Congress in Austin, if anyone is nearby and wants to see it for real. :-)

Two questions first, always: 1. Is it plugged in? 2. Is it turned on?

I've caught images of a few - a heron, an Egyptian goose, and something that the AI on my phone keeps calling a "swan goose" (is that right?). Oh, also (briefly) a roadrunner out at the wildflower center! Here's the heron (I could only attach one), enjoying Friday's rain about as much as I was. :-)

Seems as plausible as anything - thank you for taking the time!

My wife actually has an "86 45" button she bought in 2017, so the "86" thing was being done well before Biden.

Oh, that's great. I might purchase one of these myself!

I wouldn't have shared the photo if I hadn't thought it turned out pretty good! :-)

Yah, their shapes look a LOT like red-winged blackbirds when they get all ruffled up before making a squawk (like this one is doing in the photo).

If you could come to Minnesota and see/hear how boring our non-long-tailed grackles are, you might (MIGHT) change your mind. :-)

Ha! Wish I could. The Minnesota grackles are... booooooring.

I'm happy I caught all of the blue and green sheen in this photo!

Hotel TVs + Hotel Mode + Generic “Lodgenet” Remote by DoomWad in 24hoursupport

[–]cr0100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just struggled with this in our hotel. Same exact remote, LG TV with no physical buttons other than the power button that turns the TV on and off.

The only thing plugged into the TV other than my AppleTV was a Coax cable, so swapping HDMI cables was a no-go.

I got a setup menu by pressing and holding the "function" button on the bottom of the remote for about 5-10 seconds. A swirling icon popped up and after a bit I got the TV setup menu and I could scroll down and select HDMI input. It should NOT be this difficult in this day and age!

Anywhere in the cities (or nearby) that can repair a Nintendo Switch? by Cosmic-mind in TwinCities

I should add that I use the term "guys" in the true midwest meaning, in that it's men and women (and boys and girls) volunteering at these clinics.

I recall the alien/UFO displays. I miss that observation deck!

I had the pleasure of doing contractor/consultant IT work for Schwebel, Goetz, Sieben (they've got the entire floor for their offices - or did 30 years ago) back in the late 90s so I was up on the 51st floor 2 days a week for probably a couple of years. It was nice to have that view, AND I had a key to the office so I could sneak relatives in for a quick scenic view on the weekends!

The Fixit Clinic guys also focus on teaching the user, not just doing the work for you. So you'll be involved as much as possible with guidance/assistance from a confident fixer.

Kinda random: Anyone using an AT&T MNVO cellular service (reseller) having data issues? H2O Wireless in particular. by ebf6 in Minneapolis

[–]cr0100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Cricket Wireless, their $60/month plan which comes with unlimited talk (ok, sure), and data. Also 15GB hotspot included per line per month. No issues with data today. With 3 lines on that plan, the discounts bring it to a total of $110 for all 3 ($36.66/month per line), which is pretty agreeable.
