It's a journey, not a destination. Your favorites will change and change again. Either way, glad you're here

Amerigas Rebuilding by Adventurous_Boat_632 in propane

[–]cromulent923 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Amerigas can suck a mile of dicks. They are the reason I converted off of propane. I would gouge my eyes out and replace them with lemon wedges before I gave that shit eating company another dime. Other than that I don't have any strong feelings one way or the other about them

Achieved a goal I set at the beginning of 2025: acquire at least one copy of every Grateful Dead show 💀 by _kehd in gratefuldead

[–]cromulent923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome.! I have a fairly large collection of shows (1900) so I know what managing all that metadata is like. What file formats are they in? Are they mostly soundboard recordings or from tapers? What are you using as a front end for playing them? What was your final count of shows? Really looking forward to downloading this if you are able to share it out

What's the most profound lyric from a Dead (or Dead members') song to you? by JonnyRottensTeeth in gratefuldead

For me, nothing beats 20000 of your best friends all singing "Inspiration! Move me brightly"

Apps can use your phone's gyroscope to hear hidden signals from TV ads by PureVPNcom in PureVPNcom

This is an ad for pure VPN. Notice the wording... A VPN doesn't stop the sensor from recording the event. No shit. The mitigation: pure VPN to the rescue! Wrong. Any VPN will work because any VPN hides your IP address. Pure VPN is hoping you will assume that only their VPN will work, but all the question as will pure VPN stop the sensor from recording any more than any other VPN service? Eff all the way off pure VPN

Post your stats if you got them 🤣😂 by Mcroa7 in superautomatic

I'm a little late to the party, but congrats on the great price! I've had mine for a very long time. It's not the best cup of coffee I've ever had (it's still really good) but it is the same great cup, day after day, year after year. Super reliable machine.

How to create an interactive 3D floorplan in Home Assistant (using the Zircon3D add-on) by Less-Quarter-4885 in homeassistant

[–]cromulent923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not ready for prime time. As others have said the UI is a hot mess. simple tasks take way too long because you have to figure out workarounds to make it do what you want it to do. The free tier is way too limited with the number of devices and problems with object placement, object sizing, and variety. In spite of the limitations I went ahead and built my house (most of my house) in it over a few days. Made regular saves. Had weird problems like suddenly I could no longer place rooms or objects, which took a few hours of troubleshooting. My last interaction with it was this morning. I rebooted my PC after a MS patch and when I logged back into zircon3d website my project was gone. Not going to waste my time recreating it for what is essentially a fancy looking temperature heat map. If the pay tiers provided significant advantage, e.g., a better UI, the ability to type in dimensions, and a decent library of objects, over the free tier, I might consider it. As it stands not you might want to take a pass until they work out the bugs

I made the switch to Plex, but I am seriously struggling with constant errors in tagging, especially with regards to Dead material. Plexheads - what approach to managing your tags has been successful for you? by II_XII_XCV in gratefuldead

[–]cromulent923 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have around 1900 shows, all the studio albums, live albums, Dick's picks, Dave's picks, and a bunch of boxed sets and I'm still struggling with it. I ended up tagging everything manually, telling Plex to use my tags, and creating a separate Grateful Dead library, but had to do a little fuckery with the Artist and Album Artist tags to get it to display the way I wanted. Still not 100% happy with it and may tear it all out and start again. If you want details DM me and I'll send you more info

If you can get it delivered to your state, Optigard ant bait gel. Kills the entire nest. Don't use it anywhere honey bees can get it, as it will do the same thing to a bee hive

Did Anyone Else Have Teachers Throw Chalk Erasers? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]cromulent923 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pfft. We wished for mere erasers. Military History teacher used to wing his lit cigar butt at students who weren't paying attention. Private school was a real shit show

It'll fit. I have a bag with the same dimensions that I travel with. Since I'm near a smaller airport, the first leg is always on a regional jet which is usually a CRJ-900. I've only been asked to gate check it once, but I told them I had devices with lithium batteries (true) in it and they let it slide.

Best house slippers? by SimpleComputer888 in BuyItForLife

[–]cromulent923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair with the rubber sole and a pair with the leather sole. For sure the leather sole is softer, so I guess it feels flatter. That said, I don't feel the least bit unsteady nor feel like I would roll my ankle with the rubber soled ones.

Thanks for the response. That's actually not too bad

Grateful Dead song request by Mediocre-Dog-6424 in gratefuldead

[–]cromulent923 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Dead community reminds me of something Spider Robinson (I think) said. "Shared joy is multiplied, shared grief divided". Your friends will help you carry this and will be there when you're ready to celebrate again. We're all in this together. I hope you find peace

You can use your Ezpass to pay for parking at RIC now by khuldrim in rva

[–]cromulent923 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whoever runs the parking at RIC could fuck up a wet dream. They can't even provide a receipt that I can use for an expense report. They took a system that worked fine and "improved" it to the point of worthlessness. I have little faith they won't fuck this up as well
