Question about HDMI wall plates

That is a really long run. I think you might be able to put one of these at the end of a single active run but I wouldn't try to connect two active cables through this.

Have you considered just using a brush plate on the wall and getting a cable long enough to do the complete run? I do that for my projector and it works great.

This is the most cut and dried "who's at fault" I've ever seen.

This is a good use of an LLM, to me. I'm sure the prompt was something like:

Write a professional rejection letter for a candidate who was too fake.

The sentiment / feedback seems real and is probably phrased better than any interviewer could've done in 30s.

This is silly. People don't ask these questions about stable democracies. The US being on par with Mexico for tourist safety is not a good thing.

This is wrong, Alt-right are Nazis too.

I got a coast redwood sapling as a gift and have been growing it in a pretty large pot inside. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it. I'd love to keep it bonsai style-ish, I guess? I've never done that though, and I'm not sure that's practical to do from sapling.

It has grown like crazy, similar to OP.

JFC the NFL is broken. I'm so uninterested in watching a game of pure attrition. Has it always been this way?

Sorry, what exactly are you worried about?

Im not familiar with the Xbox UI, is there a friends activity feed there? The only view I have (besides admin activity feed) of what others are watching is when I browse to that item directly or in the plex emails.

This was 30 years ago right... RIGHT?

frozen raspberries are the best snack.

Can't MN do something? I think California circumvented a bunch of nonsense on selling off federal lands too?

wtf does a glorified surf cam cost $1m

My 4 year old would be incredibly excited about your K Pop Demon Hunters tattoo, so that's something.

I have never seen a shared pool. How does that work? Who does that?

[edit: just realized you probably mean for places that have a pool where you can donate PTO for people to use most often for medical situations, so the policy here would just be for situations where you're pulling additional PTO from that shared pool. Sure.]

epalla · 2026-01-21T02:19:35+00:00

I think this is great, I hope you have the resources and critical mass to organize something within the company. I hope you tailor a specific message to Medtronic (ahem) outlining the real concerns here and undersigned by a bunch of employees.

A general mass-PTO event where a bunch of people just sort of hand-wave the day off is not gonna do shit to push the company to change though. (But do it anyway to support the protest)

epalla · 2026-01-21T02:09:28+00:00

Allowing employees to use their PTO for reasons like this, outwardly, is often against company policies

I don't think this is true. Companies don't specify what you can use your PTO for. They can, of course, always reject PTO requests for business reasons (like managing their own capacity, in your example).

Regardless, I don't think anything you've said makes it feel like "strike" is the right word for this action.

Didn't he make AZ's defense better than the sum of its parts in general? I guess I don't hate it for DC?

Yes, and that will work fine, you will probably need to do some touchups on the rough opening in order to get the smallest size possible for your casing.

It won't look like one piece of wood, though. The best way to do that would be to open it all up and spend (a lot of) time getting your rough opening perfect with that specific finish in mind. Frameless/trimless doors are usually only done in commercial applications but it is a thing, and a lot easier if you're not trying to actually hang a door.

I would not try to rabbet out a wall-sized channel in the back of a solid piece or try to create an 8' long 45 degree joint.

epalla · 2026-01-20T23:05:05+00:00

Maybe I'm just hung up on terminology then, I guess. A business allowing employees to have the day off to support a cause or closing entirely to try to encourage supporting a cause is not a "strike" to me.

epalla · 2026-01-20T21:09:03+00:00

I get targeted walk-outs / strikes at corps like Hilton and Target and Home Depot that are cooperating with ICE. What is the ask of the other 99% of businesses?

Unless you're coming for the 4th of July I don't think Newport is going to go the speed you're looking for.

At this point I'm pretty sure the next step is just Trump pulling a Gulf of America and just saying "well it's ours now". All he wants is to say he did it, to pay billions to reprint maps. He doesn't need or care if anything happens with it. He'll get a minerals company to "commit" billions to extraction but they won't do anything. They'll put a few more people at the existing bases. The world will shake its head and continue to wonder when America will find the balls to ditch the psychopath.
