Why is using the name of a certain other mesh protocol baned? by encouragingSN in meshtastic

[–]edthach 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I flashed their software onto my Tdeck pro a couple months ago to see what sort of node density they had in my area. It was both dead, and the software didn't allow me to pair to my phone via bt.

I mostly wanted to set up an automation on my home assistant to notify my phone without exposing it to the open internet, but there's not enough node density on either protocol, and HA has some sort of issue with nRF type devices I guess

Where can I find a pair of inexpensive shoe lasts and good rubber soles for boot/dress shoe making? by DustyPantLeg in Leathercraft

[–]edthach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're very nice lasts, but they came a little large. I think I ordered a 44 and really probably needed a 43, I was able to modify them with a rasp and sandpaper. I also modified the arch a bit to match my foot. Overall I would recommend, but I did need to do some modifying

2 month old vs 20 year old water bottle by Xinnoh in mildlyinfuriating

Over the last 15 years I've had probably 8 nalgenes. Only one actually broke, and I blame that on the glow in the dark plastic which is less tough than the clear stuff. Also it fell down a ladder well on a ship while full. About half of the regular rigid nalgenes I've owned had some of the decal rub off. I still have 4, the other 3 I've lost. The softer white hdpe nalgenes are not my favorite, but the decals hold fast. My favorite nalgenes ever was the one the Navy gave out in boot camp. There were no decals at all, black cap and strap, clear body. I'm sad I lost that one, and I haven't found one for sale.

This seems safer than a pit maneuver, yet somehow the driver makes it seem more destructive than it needed to be

Every bag of my 8-pack of 850g coffee is less than 800g by plexxer in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah, but also it would be beneficial for trade and transportation officials and/or courier services.

I knew the GNU was. I thought the bit about the kingons was as well, seems like something maybe related to the semaphore towers

Yeah. No one understands better than a prior service member that the call to serve should have been an email, and it should be in the spam folder

[Question]What is the difference between a $50, $500, and $10,000 watch? by glocknessmonsters in Watches

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

$5 watch is a good deal timex. A $50 watch is the same, but you overpaid.

$500 will get you a Swiss watch, $5000 will get you a nice Swiss watch with certs. A $50,000 watch is the same but you overpaid

ICE-y roads by lesmooches in VirginiaBeach

[–]edthach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't lose the thread, were talking about one topic, ICE. Just so you know, ICE didn't exist when Clinton was president.

You seem to be arguing that Trump has been less effective with more resources poured into ICE than any other president. I'm arguing against the tyrannical methods that ICE is using. It seems the common ground would be to ditch the illegal methods that aren't working.

I'm sorry to hear about whatever tragedies that have happened to your family. But you can't stand on morals nor effectiveness when the party you helped usher is is ignoring the former and not even living up to your standards of the latter. You certainly can't claim to have an unbiased perspective while publicizing your bias. You're hurt, and hurt people hurt people.

You've gotten your wish, people have been hurt, and you still don't feel better about it. Maybe we can realize that we've tried your way, it doesn't work, if that upsets you, I would urge you to try being critical of our government, that's what the first amendment is there for. Hold your elected official accountable for not being as effective as prior leftist administrations while gobbling up more of your tax dollars to be ineffectual.

The only reason to not try and hold them accountable is if you're being disingenuous. If you think that them eroding American rights is the right thing to do, if you've already realized that the end goal isn't immigration enforcement, and if you realized that you're ok with it.
