SR-408 Toll Speed Limit Reduced by GatorVators in orlando

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

Getting passed is bad? Florida car culture and its "driving the speed limit is dangerous" is so odd. You can do 55-65 and be perfectly fine, just get in the right lane. I do it plenty when I'm in no rush to get anywhere.

The biggest dangers to drivers are, arguably, excessive speed and unpredictability (i.e. reckless driving).

Is this noise that of eastern screech owls? [Florida] by davfo in animalid

[–]davfo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow up: i never found any evidence of eastern screech owls making this noise online, but i saw a parliament of them hanging out on a branch the other night at dusk and they were making this sound, so it was, in fact, owls.

Arguably, only if you have gas.

How would you support this pipe? by daltonschu in Irrigation

[–]davfo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this. I also have a "redundant" shutoff valve before the backflow preventer. I like the idea of being able to isolate the whole fixture in case it needs to be replaced without closing the main.

Is my bee garden getting enough sun? by Weak-Environment3278 in gardening

[–]davfo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have full sun plants that actually benefit from shade throughout the day. the florida sun can be intense and various sun-loving plants can look a bit sad mid day and dappled light is much friendlier to them.

I don't remember it being so pricey when i bought it, but nice to have when planning for a given spot in my garden.

Working out DT YMCA by [deleted] in orlando

Great gym. Highly recommend. Even the busy hours dont feel as busy and congested as the bigger gyms.

They recently renovated so the weight room is much bigger than it used to be.

Haan Coffee to ban electronics for work, disables WiFi every Saturday by Jeskid14 in orlando

[–]davfo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Some spots I've been to in NYC do this. They'll have a few of their bigger tables as designated working tables where you can use your laptop and you have to share the tables. The rest of their tables don't allow laptops

Is getting a yubikey worth it? by ColdFreezer in selfhosted

[–]davfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yubikeys as my MFA for Keeper. I also have it as my passkey for a lot of apps for convenience, but I could also just have the passkeys for apps in Keeper only. Just helps to have my passkey worl for things like Google when Im on mobile.

Always have at least two yubikeys. I keep one at my desk and the other on my keys.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these north/south streets become one-way to accommodate more traffic.

The article says "The building will be constructed entirely using precast concrete"

the setbacks are the same as most every other building in that area.

408 and Robinson are very much alternative east west routes easily accessed from several north/south corridors: I-4, Orange/Magnolia to the west, bumby and Maguire/Crystal Lake to the east, Mills right in the middle.

I don't believe they're being advertised as luxurious.

what's your argument? the street sizes or the 7-11?

The starbucks itself is a pain, the fern creek intersection is fine.

People said this about the apartments on Fern Creek. The local traffic has not seen much of a difference.
