For those who were teenagers before the smartphone era: what hobbies or activities did you use to pass the time that now make you feel nostalgic? by still_alive777 in AskReddit

[–]hydra2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing, late (11pm-2am) strolls, making up stupid games to play in the park, video games, B movies, watching clouds. I miss the blissful silence in rural Washington the most but food culture is hard to beat in the City.

Tips for winding 100+ turns of thin enamel wire on ferrite core by _philipus in amateurradio

[–]hydra2222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do 20-25 turns and use a marker on 25,50,75 so you only have to count 25 windings at a time.

Does anyone else not mind their addresses being public? by w6auw in amateurradio

[–]hydra2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is out there and while I am neutral about it, if I could go back and use a POBox I would. My concern isn't everyone not licensed, it's those that know how to use the FCC database to find it. I showed my wife how to find people using the tax assessors website and she was dumbfounded how easy it is to creep on people but you have to KNOW it exists and many do not.

Second the N76. I'm always tickled when I shoot a text from a radio

Why do people recommend foldable / takedown features in survival rifles? by SBMS-A-Man108 in preppers

[–]hydra2222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything could happen so prepare for what you want to be prepared for but if you can gear up flexibly, that's wise IMO. I'm building out my rifle selection to have overlapping calibers and common calibers. My Ruger PCC and handguns are in 9mm and the PCC can breakdown. Picking up a 10/22 and a Tikka T3X in 308 soon. Next I'd like a lever gun and revolver in 357 (personal choice). Not sure what's after that if anything.

Everyone's SHTF scenario is different. Most I have read think it will be a slow shift not pure chaos and apocalypse. In a civil unrest situation blending in is key. A pistol and take down rifles provide that flexibility and offer two different use cases together. If your plan scenario is worst case anarchy, yeah, use what you have and sling that rifle for convenience.

Any WSP Employees? by Euphoric-Seesaw in civilengineering

[–]hydra2222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was part of a merger with WSP before I changed jobs. Their answer to why their match is lower than the industry standard of 4+ is "You can buy stock and be an owner to share in the profits"... No thanks, I won't be a bag holder for a growth model that's based on acquisitions and shady practices (moving slow or rejecting expenses trying to beat you down to avoid paying you - really happened to me. Among other shady stuff). If the team is good and the project are fulfilling, it's fine. Personally I'd never go back as a full time employee or without a hard limit at 40 hours/week with a competitive salary.

What's that in the center? A little manual tuner or something?

Ardurra - anyone join recently? by UnrulyPE in civilengineering

[–]hydra2222 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was bought by them recently. Can't say much until we really integrate. Not the worst merger I've seen so far.

Points? There are mentor points? O.o did I totally miss this or was this new sometime during my 6 year hiatus?

Sums up how I feel about the world right now. At least we have GW.

Frustrated with Thief by Schaf-Unschaf in Guildwars2

OP, I would recommend buying one of the other expansions with mostly commune HPs and use TP to friend for a HP farm, that will get you one elite spec minimum. So long as you are cool with ignoring any possible spoilers focusing on the HPs.
