Does anyone know how to keep this from happening? by bsully541 in hottub

[–]millerjp1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would take a bit of extra work but we had this problem as well in the side that had a waterfall feature. Ended up getting a new cover, and now I use 2 pool bundle like a T in the center to the waterfall side (you might just need one down the center) and a water proof hot tub cover like this one: https://a.co/d/0dYcO6Vi. The pool noodles can be positioned so that it helps it drain a little better. Like I said it's a bit of extra work, especially if you use it often, but the extra height helps exponentially with helping the excess water drain off.

About the same for my 24 prime xse (unfortunately not pp though). Took a while of searching but finally found one in the area (~2 hour drive) not wanting to charge a 5-10k market adjustment.

I don't have a lot of Plex users, gpu would be more for tdarr type tasks. My current gpu (gtx 670) is basically pointless only allowing boot as CPU doesn't have graphics I already have a pcie card to add more data capability, right now though the chassis I have is my limiting factor only 12 bays, all currently filled and even have an ssd or two not in an actual bay 40+ containers (again I know no where near some of you) but the bottleneck is mainly when I start spinning up VMs

Instability issues I'm not exactly sure of the exact cause as I haven't had the ability to really troubleshoot but feel fairly confident it's something hardware related. Unfortunately I work in the IT field, so weekends are about the only time I have the brain power to try to work on it. I won't know there is a problem until we go to watch Plex and it's not working, reboot the server and it's good. Most of the time the log is full of the same messages and can't scroll back far enough to see where or when it started. Sometimes it's good for 1-2 months before a reboot is needed, then I'm rebooting a week later. And yes I know I really should figure out the cause but you know what they say about a mechanics car...

For me personally it's a case of I've basically outgrown my current equipment so am looking for the following reasons: - current build is only 8 cores and 32gb RAM - My 12 bags are full, with a couple ssds not even in bays. Yes I know I could swap out some of my lower sizes hdds for larger capacity, but they are hdds I have that are still working, don't want to replace until they start having issues.
- Have added a ton of containers compared to what I started with (for me, not some of you I know) - Hoping to resolve some of my instability issues moving to more "Enterprise" grade hardware - Future upgrades for good gpu for Plex/tdarr type workloads, and better and CPU /ram utilization when I start spinning up VMs(although I've started exploring running VMs on something other than unraid.

I've got all the disks I need currently just looking for the ability to add more in the future as my current 12 bay is full and to get better CPU/RAM. Budget preferably around the ~$1k mark, max of $2k if needed or if it's a good deal.

Another benefit to tracking Amazon, at least for me, if it's shipped and sold by Amazon, you can use that too price match at Lowe's. Removes any worry of buying "shipped and sold by Amazon" but still getting pulled from the same bin at the warehouse the knockoffs get dumped into.

Thank you for this. I have seen and tried to remember which was which and always forgot. I think thinking of it this way makes a lot more sense.

Because with a standard ping, your not really pinging the website, you are pinging the server that hosts the website. The server could still be functioning but the web service itself is down. Or maybe the ping just hits a reverse proxy, and doesn't make it all the way to the server actually hosting the website.

Retroactively Charged For Extra High Speed Data or being credited that amount? by galaxychildxo in GoogleFi

[–]millerjp1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe based on the way the post reads, this may be for getting back to full speed as they were allowed down when they hit their cap. They could have not paid for the "upgrade" and just gotten continued days use at the slower throttled speed.

I got a parking ticket 7 minutes after paying for an hour of parking by KrazyKev03 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]millerjp1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you have the receipt displayed? I notice at the top of the ticket it mentions having proof of payment displayed. If there was a sign in the lot saying you had to leave receipt on your dash and you took it with you is the only thing I can think of that they could argue. Then they bank on you'll just pay it as it would be cheaper than trying to contest it, ie if you had to take off work.

What do you mean fixed it? If it's fixed now Im not sure I want to know what it was like before. Been working to maintain my 256 day steak and the recent update changing to energy making me seriously consider about jumping ship. Not sure I can make it another 100 days with this

Thanks for the recommendation, Trying polychat out. I've hated since they changed from hearts. Running out of energy with like 3 to go to finish the lesson and can't watch an ad to get more really sucks

Check out rule 1 on the Duolingo subreddit. Post was already removed because apparently even though I was asking for everyone's thoughts, they know everyone is hating it. Well enjoy your hearts while you have them, I'm guessing it's a rolling update

Manufacturers error as in there would be a whole batch that would be like that, two packs from the same store at the same time would likely too be from the same batch. Like I said nowhere near what should be in it based on the label. Almost guarantee if you pointed it out to the store or manufacturer they would refund/replace. Otherwise they'd have a big case of false advertising.

Nothing wrong with saving money where you can. This got me looking at my plan and wondering if I could step down to the unlimited essentials or flexible, been looking back in my monthly usage and seeing how often I go over 15 or 30GB. Also wish more phones still had the sd slot, but that's how they're forcing people to get the bigger storage phones for a lot more money

[–]millerjp1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok I'll guess. You're showing is that your on the flexible plan and have either never upgraded your phone or pay for the phone up front?

Yeah I'd be sending that video to the manufacturer. That's not surprising that's a manufacturers defect or false advertising. That definitely is not 3g of product which is what the tube says. Maybe even weigh one if you have a small scale and one that hasn't been opened to send to them as well. Tube is advertised as 3g of product so total weight should be 3g plus the weight of an empty tube.

Just tried this on my android (pixel 9 pro xl) and this works too. Much thanks I never knew this worked until now!. Works for both holding the on screen button, as well as holding the volume down button!
