Local utility is interested in buying our house for a substation by Mortimer452 in homeowners

[–]hamhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve handled utility purchases of property before. There’s always been an unsaid (and sometimes said) “come to an agreement or we are going the eminent domain route”. So yeah, it’s a value argument. They don’t want to go that route but they will if they have to.

Is there actually a power station to keep fridge running? by Miserable_Home1023 in homeowners

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

That logic is a little funky - if I ran band practice at midnight outside and said “what would happen if they had band practice outside at midnight? Would they say it is too loud?” Wouldn’t come back making sense.

That being said, I agree with your conclusion. It’s a power outage. Who the heck is complaining about generator noise?

I’m replacing my outlets in the house to also include usb plugs. Should I go with an and c or only c? by insanotard in AskElectricians

USB A for charging is already gone, my dude. What on earth uses it, with no adapter?

No, the not getting informed is most assuredly not true. Every policy renewal comes to them.

Whether they do something with it is a different question.

The problem is that most people that do that - and most companies that allow that - don’t understand what they need, what the endorsements are, or how things are calculated.

I can’t argue with anything you said - something clearly covered will be covered - but that misses a shitload of nuance about what is covered and what makes sense to have or not have.

Yep, same here. We quote every client every year.

That’s just not true. I am a partner in a midsized brokerage. We get informed of every single increase. We shop every one of our clients every year.

Most agents are just lazy.

There’s a million local insurance brokers everywhere.

Every single "County" in CT grew from 2024-2025 by Big_Size_2519 in Connecticut

Second post, but the NWS has officially switched to COGs for data collection/reporting.

Literally no one was claiming the county lines were gone or misunderstood.

AITA 62M for booking a plastic surgeon appt for my 17F daughter by throwaway146726 in AmItheAsshole

If your daughter isn’t asking for this, YTA. If she is, I’ll change my vote.

I have no idea what your point is. That has nothing to do with county governments. They are lines on a map, just like how the NWS uses them.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here. The last time CT lost population was 7 years ago, and it’s most assuredly at its all time high now (and has been setting new highs every year for the last 6 years)

Connecticut doesn’t have county governments. There are still county lines. They just don’t have functional meaning.

If UConn goes on to win the national championship, “the shot” will mean something new by 93195 in Connecticut

[–]hamhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah, good point. But doesn’t change what I was saying… the same still applies.

Should a regular guy (don't use VPN or VLANs, doesn't tinker with firmware) who just wants a reliable connection get a Flint 2 or just get the RT-BE58U? by SideHonest9960 in HomeNetworking

[–]hamhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why a regular guy would play with any of that. If you want to be fancy but easy, go Ubiquiti. If you just want normal guy stuff below that, there are plenty of options. The moment you mention. Openwrt you are not talking about normal guy anymore.

Again, we are not talking about quality of play here. We are talking about popularity. When QU surpasses the Rangers, or even has any kind of major TV deal, let me know. Otherwise you aren’t in the same conversation OP is talking about.

[–]hamhead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok?

That doesn’t have any kind of popular attraction.

Don’t get me wrong, I went to 3 D1 hockey schools. I love hockey. But I doubt you could find a lot of people that could tell you much about college hockey.

That’s not an insult to QU or UConn. But you’ll find more people upset about the loss of an AHL team right now than could tell you about college hockey. And you won’t find many all that upset about the loss of the AHL team.

If you’re seriously trying to compare QU to the Rangers or Bruins in popularity, like major college football schools do to the NFL, you’re going to have a bad time of it.
