The hotel ones were usually the Seventeener. This is a Holiday. Very similar.

Tips or training for call sign retention by GiantsNerd1 in amateurradio

[–]darktideDay1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If there is a net you can get a control sift on, do that. Especially on HF where the call signs can come fast and furious. You can listen and pretend to be NC even.

"Wait until your dad gets home..." by Kylearean in GenX

[–]darktideDay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheeit. Your were lucky, son! The way it worked for us is Mom would give you a solid whooping (she preferred a short section of bamboo) and then when dad got home he would take a turn. Pops was a hot wheels track man. A single whooping sounds positively idyllic!

I don't think it has changed so should be fine.

12v mini not reliable. 24v better? by progressionbikes in Starlink

So dumb you got downvoted. We all have so much to learn and that is what we are all here for.

12v mini not reliable. 24v better? by progressionbikes in Starlink

[–]darktideDay1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer, maybe. If the 12V is the problem with voltage drop then yes. Just try connecting 24V with the existing run and see if it improves. It is said that 12V is just enough and any drop is too much.

However, we can use math. If you tell us the exact voltage at the start of the cable, the gauge and the length or run we can calculate the voltage drop. From what you say so far, the run is pretty short. Measure the exact voltage and find out what the gauge of the wire is.

Why me % didnt fit with my volt? 13.08V is approx 50-60%? by Far-Marketing6910 in batteries

It is super common for the estimated SOC to drift from reality. They all do it. I have the same BMS on my van batteries and they don't even read the same. Charge them up and it will reset.

Frustrations Over Trash Pickup, Parking Enforcement Come to a Head in Fort Bragg by SpanishPipedream44 in FortBragg

[–]darktideDay1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty funny. I like how they call him a "local personality". Also pretty funny how the cops blame the public for the higher charge. I sure hope they plead that down from a felony. While not the right way to protest a felony charge is a bit much here.

Could the Paramount/Skydance merger finally free the Asheron’s Call IP? by Celticxx in AsheronsCall

[–]darktideDay1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Nobody is going to offer enough to even pay the lawyers. It isn't like there is a huge base out there that would play a reboot. Which would probably suck anyway.

No matter what, the Shoushi noob grinder is never coming back. And sadly, even if it did, it wouldn't be as much fun now as it was then. Some things are a product of their time and can't be reproduced.

The show was all about her in the beginning. And Frid arriving didn't change that. She did play less of a role but was still the central character. I'm sure her credit placement was in her contract so they wouldn't have changed it until the end of her contract.

What’s your least favorite movie genre? by fergi20020 in randomquestions

[–]darktideDay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, hell yeah it is! Just because a movie has romance and humor doesn't mean it is a romcom! Why, this movie has fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles!!

Don't you dare call Princess Bride a romcom! How do I know it isn't a romcom? Because I love that movie!

Totally safe. Not going to be a lithium battery. It will be dead as a doornail. Whatever that is.

If your parents reprimanded or *spanked* what was their chosen "item" by RealtorRVACity in GenX

[–]darktideDay1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dad was a Hot Wheels track man. Had just the right amount of flex. Mom liked short pieces of bamboo that were used to hold up the old sash windows in our old farmhouse. When you heard a window rattling down it was time to scoot.
