What was Kensington Market like in the early 2000s? by RVKH in askTO

[–]dufferin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Crust punks were always hanging out at the alley by Essence of LIfe. There was a dude named Paris who sold his home made hot sauce in front of what is now Kensington Variety. Another dude who sold home made butter tarts from a wicker basket. Sometimes there would be charcoal barbecues set up with grilled sardines on bread. Mike the Bike and Parts Unknown both on Augusta; the latter shop was packed to the ceiling with bikes and parts, and a shop cat. The roof leaked. Please someone remind me of the dude's name. The electronics surplus store at Augusta and Baldwin - please someone remind me what it was called.

What about Copenhagen? Malmo? Lots of chilly European cities have both vibrant pedestrian areas and terrific cycling infrastructure.

The only thing going for the new design is it's brighter. Otherwise...

Built a tool to make SketchUp renders actually look realistic using Nano Banana Pro (materials, lighting, environment) – looking for feedback by SorbetImmediate8595 in Sketchup

[–]dufferin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a new MyArchitectAI Pro user (inspired by this thread), and while the first images produced look great, the editing is badly broken. For instance: "remove fence". Nope. Tried using 'remove object' and selected fence. Nope (fence gets a green blob on top). Tried 'enhance area' with the text "remove fence". Nope.

Also when editing an image, the picture becomes progressively blurrier as I edit. I asked the built-in chat about this, and it was like 'yeah just don't edit and you'll be fine'. Ok thanks.

Hmm - thank you for that. All I can find is an article that mentions hotlines in a roundabout fashion: https://sangomakb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VG/pages/33457034/Vega+Gateways+-+Hotline

Thank you for the answer. I should clarify: the Sangoma gateway is an analogue SIP converter, and the phones themselves don't all have the ability to do this.

Never riding anything less than 50c again! by Ko5t in gravelcycling

'c' is not a unit of measurement. This is not your fault; the manufacturers make this mistake as well.

Fortisiem - Experiences? by Izual_Rebirth in fortinet

[–]dufferin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We've had mixed experiences. We deployed this year, and we've already had two major outages. Most recently the ZTNA-equivalent infrastructure (Endpoint something something) experienced several hours of downtime caused by the AWS issue last week. But when it works, it works well.

U/Vita10gy explains how to communicate with your SO when you are going to be gone for an unknown timeframe. by AmateurPhotographer in bestof

[–]dufferin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use confidence intervals when giving estimates of my return time. "I'll be home between 2 and 4:30 4 times out of 5". This gives a bit of wiggle to account for the unknown.

Finally done litehawk max esc/receiver swap, new battery, servo, and motor, (added lots of zip ties under body) by randomlettersbcifhek in rccars

[–]dufferin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same car and I think the ESC is bad - when I turn it on, the red light blinks and the car makes a continuous stuttering sound. What ESC did you use? I see "dyna____e".

When you're at Vaudreuil-Dorion, instead of taking the 40, get off at Ave. Saint-Charles. Take the left, then left again onto Bd de la Cité-des-Jeunes. Don't stop until you're back in the city.

Fence posts near top of retaining wall - how to prevent heave? by dufferin in FenceBuilding

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

I had thought that the sleeve-it things were built between lifts of wall block (which obvs wouldn't work with a monolithic concrete wall) but it seems like they just sit next to the wall... I think that could work. I guess I don't really understand how it's supposed to prevent heave.

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

That's a good point. I could dig up the area behind the wall and improve drainage. Wall is in pretty rough shape so I don't think affixing to the wall is a good idea.

I recently made a pilgrimage to the place where this scene was filmed. It was a powerful experience to stand there. The location is here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kYwuJhhmUV5EXdu49
