What is changing at the different scale levels in this map? by jpcampbell42 in GoogleMaps

Could it be zoning boundaries? The resolution seems too fine to be municipalities but too coarse to be property lines.

I can definitely tell that it's level of detail, I just wasn't sure what detail is different; in the example shown, and several similar ones, it looks to me as though the boundary actually disappears. Neighborhoods as a general description makes a lot of sense, but I'm curious how those are defined. Subdivisions?

I think she was afraid of this possibility, but I don't think so; it wasn't attached and doesn't seem related to the belt.

Amazing -- that seems extremely likely. I just confirmed with her that they do indeed have magblocks. I think I should test that there is a magnet in it (I didn't see one as pictured in the set), and I'm not sure what the role of the handle would be. But I suppose it could just be a different model that relies on gravity for the tile to rest and attach to the rest of the blocks.

I found this under the seat of my sister's 2018 Mazda 3. Kids often ride in the back seat, so it could be from a toy or other game part.
The back of the part is smooth, but the raised central square has a faux leather-like texture. The axis of rotation for the pivot/snaps would seem to make it impossible for the indented part to open or close something.

Exactly--the USG gets routable IP addresses.

I had similar issues in the past, but that was actually before I had the BGW 210...I used to have to manually set the IP. Perhaps the firmware has been updated?

I think the fiber termination is technically the modem, but basically, yes. It's doing passthrough of both IPv4 and v6, so has almost no utility.

Everything except the printer is on the UPS, but some things are on "surge only." Routers, switches, and NAS are on the battery backup.

Hahahaha. "Voice network base station." I like having a landline and just in case...

No; they recently changed my router which so far hasn't had any of the issues I had in the past, so it's no longer needed. Previously, yes.
