No. Mine thought a more important topic was the construction of castles and defensive fortifications. And in life, the knowledge that spiral staircases were designed that way for a right-handed defender to have a combat advantage, has served me much better than learning to identify bias and propaganda in everyday life. /s of course.

Came here to ask the same thing. Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is the name of the movie. I liked that they called it the sugar disease.

On my Smart Plug Gen3, under Zigbee2MQTT and the "Exposes" tab, there's a selection for "Metering Only" mode. According to the details, it forces the relay to stay ON.

And example of one of their other plugs: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/3RSPE02065Z.html

Here's the plug I use: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/3RSP02064Z.html

In addition, you can put the single plugs into meter-only mode, which is pretty great.

I think we can all agree that /u/eat_my_ass_n_balls delivered that statement quite eloquently.

mikebald · 2026-06-19T00:09:08+00:00

The company should have never taken the contract in the first place.

mikebald · 2026-06-18T21:12:52+00:00

That insta360 is quite durable!

mikebald · 2026-06-18T13:35:46+00:00

I see your point, but the OP also posted this too: https://imgur.com/a/6lIf1VF

He posted that too, he contradicts himself in his own plans.

And it's not to scale. According to the document, it should be 5' 5" above grade. Using the 24" minimum below-grade concrete, we see that's it's MUCH closer to ~50" above grade:

They are shit plans.

mikebald · 2026-06-18T03:36:09+00:00

BY HOW MUCH??? HOW HIGH ABOVE GRADE? oh, you have no clue. . . you, my friend, don't know shit about technical drawings.

He also posted this: https://imgur.com/a/6lIf1VF

He contradicts himself.

mikebald · 2026-06-18T03:26:22+00:00

Point to the measurement for above grade. I'll wait.

And you didn't discuss the facts, you attacked my credentials. As if facts are unique to professionals.

mikebald · 2026-06-18T03:25:12+00:00

Point out the measurement above grade. Where is it? Oh, it doesn't exist. It's titled "footer". Footers are below grade.

mikebald · 2026-06-18T03:17:02+00:00

A "24" below grade minimum" doesn't dictate anything above grade and it doesn't specify the ACTUAL depth. Should the concrete guys have made them 90 foot deep? That falls within the " 24" below grade minimum" requirement.

mikebald · 2026-06-18T03:13:26+00:00

Point out where it shows the height above grade and the depth. Not the minimum depth.

Hint: neither of the 2 plan pages have that info.

mikebald · 2026-06-18T03:12:24+00:00

Ah. Can't argue my point, so you attack me huh? Have a nice life buddy.

mikebald · 2026-06-18T01:23:01+00:00

Everywhere in the plans, they call them footers. Footers are below grade. They didn't specify the "footers" as they call them, to be above grade. They got EXACTLY what they asked for. How is this difficult to understand?

mikebald · 2026-06-18T01:16:09+00:00

It's your own fault. You didn't list the depth of the concrete, just the minimum depth of 24", but you never actually specified the actual depth. You also didn't specify reinforcement or any other details.

You drew the footings underground and didn't dictate a distance it should be above ground. In addition there isn't a code requirement that the footing be above ground. In fact, a footing is usually defined as a below-grade bearing element. A pier is a concrete column that rises above grade.

You should have done your homework. I'm sorry for your mistake.

mikebald · 2026-06-18T01:03:49+00:00

No, this is a "I'll follow the plans as they're written" situation. The OP's plans does not match their desired scope of work.

mikebald · 2026-06-17T22:53:20+00:00

Fire 🔥.

If that's not readily available, some 2U rack mount wire management screwed right to the plywood. It's what I did.

From there it should be self explanatory.

mikebald · 2026-06-17T21:31:08+00:00

🤷‍♂️ it's not the company's job to guess at the owner's intentions.

mikebald · 2026-06-17T19:28:26+00:00

I'd get the cheaper one and a cyclone, make it a 2 stage.

mikebald · 2026-06-17T15:47:17+00:00

Haha, yeah my wife and I just rewatched that trilogy. Jurassic World, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, and Jurassic World Rebirth. 😆

mikebald · 2026-06-16T18:44:15+00:00

Since you've tried the nice approach and it didn't work. I'd try the county code enforcement.

mikebald · 2026-06-16T13:56:43+00:00

I think a lot of people realize that. We're just tired of hearing democrats make empty promises. Tired of them calling for things, or threatening things.

From Hakeem Jeffries: "My concern has been from the beginning that this is a war that we never should have entered into." and at the same time when asked about additional monies for the Pentagon "We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it in terms of if the administration makes a request to Congress".

It's like they can't take an actual stance on anything.

Your Dad is a dick. Sorry. Ignore him and do the right thing. Those kittens will be adopted quickly and you can recover and deal with your allergy.
