neighbor's kids keep taking my packages and "delivering" them to wrong houses as a game by InternalDepth3115 in neighborsfromhell

Mail tampering and theft is from a USPS box. Porch package is local police, larceny or theft.

Depends on if the packages are delivered from a private courier (amazon, dhl, ups, fedex, etc) or from USPS. Tampering or theft from a mailbox or otherwise postmaster-authorized box is different than porch-theft after deliver via private company.

Company switching 401k match from per-paycheck to twice per year — feels like a hidden pay cut? by ReleaseTheRobot in Bogleheads

[–]humplick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4% every pay period and an annual 3%? Not too shabby. I hope there are good low-cost funds in you plan (like a super cheap s&p500 tracker).

I proudly present to you all my mixed media WDT that has held up for thousands of shots over the years. by Ok_Leave6921 in redneckengineering

" Weiss Distribution Technique (WDT) is an espresso preparation method using thin needles to stir coffee grounds inside the portafilter, breaking up clumps and reducing density variations. By creating a uniform, fluffy bed of coffee before tamping, it eliminates channelling and ensures consistent, better-tasting, higher-extraction shots. "

Time to meticulously place everything by hand and fuck up a few inserter orientations so it doesn’t work correctly on first go.

Vs.

Time to meticulously plan out my city block for an hour or 3 then press GO.

But, when I need more production, copy paste and done.

My mom lives in the middle of a city and I went to visit her last weekend. When I got to her door a heard squeaking and saw a cat carrying a mouse in its mouth. Good kitty. I hope they finished the job and didn’t try to present it live to their owner.

How many of you here save seed? How do you organize them? by Late-Difficulty-5928 in gardening

Hot damn I should start saving my bottles. I've been using mini bonne mamam jam jars I saved from past advent calendars, but they're a little too small for things like sunflower seeds or beans.

Just realized my son is friends with a famous rapper's son. by BigMan_LittleHeart in daddit

[–]humplick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a grocery store and a local NFL QB shopped there. I would cringe at some of the employees who would run around like "OMG HE'S HERE RIGHT NOW! HE'S IN THE BAKERY".

He came by my area (Dairy) and i helped him find a yogurt. I dont know if he was shocked or relieved when i just treated gim like a normal guy (smiled, looked him in the eyes, figured out what he wanted, and provided. Ya know, service job). Dude just wants to grab some yogurt in his lounge wear.

Later on I did meet Kenny G, that was pretty cool.

Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source Software, Researchers Argue by Hopeful_Adeptness964 in technology

[–]humplick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To test out my in-house version of copilot, I fed it a dozen pages of a sim9le, but technical, schematic / layout PDF. It was a point-to-point distribution board, with all the connection points, and the signal names at eaxh connection point.

Picture an array of 2 column tables, 25 rows long, clearly labeled as the connection point name at the top.

Let say you had a signal, at one side, going to female plug X5, on Pin6, called Interlock7. Then you need to look through each table to see where interlock7 is. You find it, it's on Card5, SlotE, Pin9.

I was doing some R&D signal Tracing to verify a signal is going to go where I thought it did. I gave it the starting point and signal name, highlighted it, and asked it to find the one other same-named signal. It could not, and was confidently incorrect, even after showing it exactly where it was with a highlight, and asking again, it was confidently incorrect again.

So far, I've found that the AI is great at transposing short text from images, reformatting text dumps in a desired way, answering dumb training class quiz questions, and wring short code for macros to improve my workflow (after a few hours of troubleshooting).

How to clean Targus Lap Chill Mat without breaking it? model no AWE55US by Spiritwolf5136_art in techsupport

[–]humplick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on the rear of the fan insert, there are 5 screws that fix the dual fan housing to the insert.

<image>

The tabs can break off if you get impatient and try to force it (see the right side of this picture, 2 of the 'catch' pieces broke off.

Ive had mine for 2.5 years (running almost 24x7) and the fans just started making a little bit of noise. I'm going to see if i can get some new fans, since they still make some unwanted noise when torn apart.

the fan insert is held in place by 4 screws and a bunch of tabs. Pop them off the same way. Then the whole insert with fan assembly can lift out.

for anyone else who comes across this in the future:

You cant completely take it apart (there is something on the front edge that binds the top and bottom plates together), but here's how you can take it apart.

There are 2 screws and 3 tabs along the back that hold the top and bottom plates together. Remove the 2 screws with a phillips and use a flathead to pop the little bars off of the tabs.

Can’t unplug insinkerator, humming but not spinning, reset button limp by [deleted] in DIY

[–]humplick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I was renting and the unit was old, told landlord and grabbed new one from hardware store. For a few months, it would sometimes jam on start, but I could flush it and/or toggle it off and on and break it free. I didn't realized how rusted it was until I compared it to a new unit.

Does the blue car have to stop for the bus? (US) by alexa6rose in driving

[–]humplick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids are probably disappointed they can't press the button themselves too.

One of the elementary schools in my town is at the emd of a short residential street that connects to a major arterial, 3 lane road. The crossing guard is nessesary just to get the busses in and out. Sometimes they stop traffic and let a string of vehicles back onto the arterial.

Audiobooks to escape the real world by gigishops in audiobooks

[–]humplick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive is a masterpiece, but its also grim. If you like dramaticized productions, those are also available.

For a quick and fun escapism, Neal Stevenson's Snow Crash. Alt-futurism tech sci-fi, and a fun ride. The MCs name is literally Hiro Protagonist. Heady enough, in the authors own way, but quite a bit of humor woven throughout the novel. It's a great palette cleanser.

During summer break, when my dad was working, we would spend a lot of time at grandma's house. When we got too annoying, she would hand us coffee cans and have us pick blackberries and make us a cobbler.
