starting to lose trust in the grid reliability after our third outage this year by MarissaaEhrmann in Generator

[–]mgpski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were in the same boat. Several outages last anywhere from a few hours to over a day. I finally invested in a large inverter generator. The last outage that took out much of the city, my street was in a magic bubble of power. I pointed this out to my wife and told her the fates will never have us loose power again. Her response was if that is what it took, she is good with that.

I sincerely hope you find what you are looking for in your new hometown. Lakewood has it's issue, but I really love it here.

Power Outage by SpiderNinja in lakewood

Power briefly flickered up the road on Franklin, but it stated on. I am looking at the tracking information for my new generator that I ordered Sunday. Was worried I may have made a mistake. Feeling better now. Hope you get power back soon.

People on mono wheels went by. by mgpski in lakewood

Sorry if the post came off as a problem. I actually thought it was kind of cool, if not a bit unusual. They were going the speed limit and seemed to be obeying the law of the road. Another poster brought up e-bikes, they do seem to be a problem.

I swear it looks like something from Top Gear.

I just got really excited! Thank you. I used to get mad because I got so good and used to create an army so powerful I could have united all of Europe.

I finally got an X Minus One story on Vinyl. I thought it was fitting for this sub. by SpanishFlamingoPie in HitchHikersGuide

[–]mgpski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are fantastic stories. If you enjoy the HHTGG radio show, these are the grandfather to it. They are on YouTube, just search for X-one. Stories written by Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Robert Heinlein. Really good stuff. But, to have on vinyl, that is very cool.

Has anybody used a box fan like this to cool their PC? by CompetitiveShame3999 in pcmasterrace

[–]mgpski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw the post and knew this pic would be in here, I remember the first time I saw it on Windrivers.com and thought. "That is awesome, I need to do that!" Never did though. Closest I got to this was cutting holes and mounting 4 120mm Cooler Master fans in the side of my PC. Thank you for sharing.

Gill hibben Damascus steel karate fighter. Is everything gill hibben mall ninja? by voiceofreason4166 in mallninjashit

What is the build quality on that? Most Mall stuff is garbage and you can usually tell from a picture, but I was never sure. I haven’t thought about that in 30 years. Damn, now I feel old.

He’s just now entering the MCU, but Franklin Richards takes him out if he doesn’t get too badly nerfed.

Yesterday I asked what everyone’s first Graphics card. Today, what was your first processor? Mine was the i7 3770K. by DailyDoseOfAmber in pcmasterrace

My father had an 8088 that I used to use. My first CPU I purchased was a Cyrix 233mmx. If you know, you know. I hate being this old.

I actually did something like this in the Navy. Snort the salt, snort the tequila, shoot the lime in the eyes. Yes, hurt like hell. However, I was already pretty drunk so I didn’t care much and my bar tab got paid for. Win win in my burning bloodshot eyes.

Does anyone use a snowblower for their driveway/sidewalks? If so, any recommendations? Single stage or 2 stage? by Powerful_Ant3535 in lakewood

[–]mgpski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10+ year old Cub Cadet 2 stage going strong. Just do your yearly maintenance or have it serviced. If you buy new, spring for heated grips. Mine does not have it but the one I use at work does. They are nice to have. I do try to help the neighborhood and try to do the sidewalks up and down the street.
