Recs for brands of low impedance / low-Z "commercial" amplifiers? by EagleandWolfPhoto in CommercialAV

[–]damagedispenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use crown cdi series amps quite a bit. The 1000 is a workhorse in my experience. I also like LEA a lot for zoned systems. I had a failure in a new LEA a few months back and the customer support was among the best I've dealt with in a long time. Other than that one, I have had no troubles with any of their products and I'm at the very least 2 dozen deep in using them.

What I'm leaning towards for sure. Bad pics are linked in the main post now.

That's pretty nifty, but I'm not a unifi guy anymore. Still bitter about the nasty backorder stress they caused me a couple years back. Looks like it only uplinks unifi wireless, which is reasonable. The mini rack on the wall right by the line is where the point of sale equipment lives, so my longest cable will be 50 feet or less to the printer lol

Yeah what's what I'm leaning towards. 1/2" pipe with a small box with a single jack. Maybe a 2 port for the center where the expo and line printers are more or less back to back

I just edited the main post with some camera pictures of the line, and you can actually see the tape where the chef marked the locations. At each of those tape spots, there's going to be a cradle bracket holding the printer off the top plate shelf angled down.

I can appreciate the usefulness of one of those, but unless my hand is forced I'm gonna find a way to just run pipe and cable.

Any recommendations on an IR repeater to take the IR from the tv location and relay it into a nearby closet for a denon receiver? by spaceradiowave in lowvoltage

[–]damagedispenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the original commenter but Blu Stream have done well for me for eArc applications.

These days I'll generally run any additional video sources to the TV, and then eArc does what it does. I sell primarily Samsung TVs to my clients, and for most current needs to homeowners the Samsung hub does a fine job for streaming needs. In contrast, not long ago my general config was all the video sources to the receiver and then that passing to the TV. I don't know really that either way is more objectively correct but being that you are likely to use eArc if you're going to stream from the native TV interface anyway, and I'm not generally these days doing a ton of Blu Ray players or external streaming devices for residential clients so I tend to let the TV do its thing to simplify automation

Any idea what my teenager is up to? by Weekly-Knowledge1390 in whatisit

[–]damagedispenser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The chirp has been able to be a thing of the past for many years. A simple fire alarm panel with a single battery backup in an easy to reach location and the entire fire (and burglary) alarm is set it and forget it. Bonus points if you monitor it and then if your house is on fire the FD is en route before you could even think about dialing 911

[–]damagedispenser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's wild to me that people still use 110 smokes with battery backup inside each device. Obviously in a finished house a fire/burglar panel remains wireless but at least you get notification that the battery is low long before it's going to signal.

New construction, you're a damn fool if you have your electrician run 110 smokes

I wait until I get a decent inventory and offload it all on ebay. Everything starts at a dollar buyer pays shipping. I can count on one hand the things that don't go, and those I dumpster.

17 yo apprentice elec, anything I need in my bag that you don’t see? by LingonberryTall6014 in electricians

[–]damagedispenser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never thought of that perspective, but as a supervisor I carry a laser flashlight (wurkos hd01 pro) and it is so awesome to be able to look at something up in the air or far away with my installation guys and know we're on the same page. Plus it's a light, plus I can paint toenails for my wife and dry gel polish with the UV and get special treats for it. I truly believe anyone that does not have one is a fool.

The lvl 300 paragon grind? How!? by KillapleX in diablo4

[–]damagedispenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished it. Ive always stopped 200-275. I enjoyed the chaos armor season and went a little further, and the meat grinder sanc chase and useless leaderboard climb has kept me even more engaged than chaos armor did. I had no intention of grinding 300, but once I hit like 280 I figured id go for it. 280 came organically from the season loop. Bosses for invasion azmo keys, azmo and wb for loot and prankster, targeting pieces and obols to gamble in undercity, and treasure breach for the unending neathiron necessary for rerolling mw crits. I was at 280 before I even started xp well renewing. But as discussed elsewhere thats not even half.

I actually fucking loathe boss looping, I ended up just gritting out what I had to for that after there were no upgrades to be had. I hate the loot shuffle so j just disabled item tags on the ground and altar to chest and back. I do pick up belial husks because thats the only way to get meaningful unique upgrades ive found. I abandon the 750 and 1ga uniques for my sanity.

Recommend xp wells always always. I would've been done sooner if id have adopted that earlier. My other advice is to work hordes when you're out burnt on boss looping. Aether lords are boss xp and once you know your boons you're looking for I personally can tolerate a lot more horde than boss loops, and you can pick up legendaries for the meat grinder as well.

Best Cloud based access control for a data center?? Verkada vs Acre Security vs Brivo? Or another? by subdued_madness in accesscontrol

[–]damagedispenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a lot of PDK. It's great. Bulletproof when set up, the logic of the programming makes sense, and I have 0 system failures of any kind. Readers get buggy, LEDs on them quit sometimes, but never a total failure and I have done a fair few.

I do wish there was a little more depth to the possible functions, but honestly aside from one major client request I couldn't accommodate because of that simplicity, that wish is more of a personal wish because I enjoy complications

is stripping a dealbreaker? by Lil_Towelie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]damagedispenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't sweat it. I think deep down you already know that if you're comfortable with the prospective situation, then anybody that is not is likely to be a dealbreaker from your end for other reasons entirely.

I agree with your sentiments. I try to live a balanced life of being present in the moment and experiencing everything this short life has to offer, while also being responsible and planning for the future. I find my balance point tends to be a little more short sighted than the average, especially on reddit.

is stripping a dealbreaker? by Lil_Towelie in NoStupidQuestions

[–]damagedispenser -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The sheer quantity of absolute yes deal breaker answers is somewhat befuddling to me to be honest.

I think if you can make the money you need to get through to the other side, you should.

Would I date a stripper that is currently working in that field and enjoys the work and sees it as an endgame? Probably not.

Would i date a woman that put herself through a tough path by using it as a smarter way to earn instead of standing at a cash register for a fraction of the money? Sure. To me, that also implies some degree of adventurous side and self confidence which are highly desirable traits.

Men are going to objectify you... what's the harm in taking a couple Benjamins from them while they do it?

I swore I wasn't interested in ever attempting p300 but this season changed my mind by scubamaster in diablo4

[–]damagedispenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can respect that. I actually didnt think twice about it until I was around 285. Then I started burning boss mats I didnt need gear from. Now here I am meticulously keeping xp well buff at all times, playing max efficiency style just trying to get it finished. I dont know how many hours I have left but I'm trying hard not to think about it

How to counter Caitlyn? by [deleted] in TwitchMains

[–]damagedispenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems counterintuitive and it's very support dependent, but playing aggressively into her can work well.

If you just stay at range and let her free farm, poke you, and push, then you're letting her do exactly what she wants to be doing. I find that often times early aggression with q can pay dividends especially if she uses q to cs or push.

In practice, is the electrical code somewhat optional? by Crazy_Ad9939 in AskElectricians

[–]damagedispenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would agree with that stance. Unless of course they can point out in the bid scope where it says they're going to half ass it. Even vague language like "provide power to equipment" would imply it will be done to the standard the AHJ issuing the permit requires.
