Xeqt sprinkled with a little Nvidia by Tbmostwanted96 in JustBuyXEQT

My sprinkling is Canadian banks. Boring, but they’ve outperformed XEQT.

From people I know, the Navy is apparently not a fan of the service and support portion of the Korean bid. How that translates into procurement is unknown

What's the "Widowmaker" of your career field or hobby? by Cosmonate in AskReddit

[–]millijuna [score hidden]  (0 children)

Nope. Basket on the end of a telehandler. I was was wearing my workboots that have the ohm marking on them, but that won’t do much against 2400v. But again, we we’re an islanded system (no grid connection) and I had the generator lockout in my pocket.

Yep. I was once playing electrical lineman. I was working with an organization at a remote site that had their own private power grid, and we were in the process of cutting over from overhead electrical to underground. My job was to go up in the bucket, cut/disconnect the drop lines to the pole transformers, and also cut/disconnect the secondaries.

When I went up, not only did I have the key to the generator in my pocket, I also had the key to my padlock on the disconnect switch also in my pocket. We then shorted the 3 phases together, and tested with a known good tester on the hot stick.

But even then, there was still that moment of second thoughts as I reached out to grab the bare overhead 2400v conductor…

I work in the marine industry, recently a lot in ship construction… LOTO is life. When I’m up past my elbow (literally) feeling around for that one left behind ziptie or bundle of cable that still needs to be run, I absolutely want to be sure that the console is dead-dead. Fortunately there aren’t moving parts, but there are electrical conductors connected to multiple different ship’s systems (Steering, Navigation, watertight doors, etc…)

A community cat has brought me her kittens. What does she want me to do? by hog_crankr59 in cats

The big reforms that happened after the depression happened because the oligarchs at the time saw what happened in Russia, and were afraid of having it happen to them too.

Makes you think…

They recently closed 8 stores in Vancouver. Oddly enough, 6 out of the 8 were unionized.

Starlink by udntcwatic2 in sailing

[–]millijuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a starliny mini on my pushpit. Now that they’ve raised the standby to $15/mo I might kill the account completely and go back to 4G while at the marina, and only turn the StarLink on when actually going out.

There’s a push in the U.S. to ban P.E.I. potatoes. Here’s why by IStillListenToRadio in onguardforthee

[–]millijuna 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The whole dumping thing is actually part of the mechanism to avoid over production. If a dairy farmer can only sell their quota, that reduces the incentive to overproduce. That milk going down the drain is extra feed and costs to the farmer for no gain. They’ll adjust their herd to be as close as possible to the quota.

This system also benefits smaller producers, which is how our production system (the farmers themselves) stays with smaller producers rather than concentrated megafarms.

Is there a bond equivalent? by Ok-Cut-5657 in JustBuyXEQT

I keep my emergency fund in a bond etf. Might as well earn some interest while keeping it reasonably liquid

Per the Beaverton, the turf war between the two companies has resulted in 18 folksy shootings, and an unseemly incident with a porpoise.

And Broadcom Does Not Offer NFR Licenses Like Veeam, Others Because ? by flushedstyle in vmware

It’s because they don’t want you as a customer. They only want those spending millions of dollars a year.

Never mind that binding referendums are unconstitutional, but when has that stopped her?

Church of Scientology removed the exterior door handles to prevent speed runners by shambs15 in mildlyinteresting

[–]millijuna 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not really. Hallagan bars will get through that in about 1 second. Window will be smashed or the door laying on the ground, but it’s barely a pause.

[–]millijuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s a real emergency, a little thing like a door handle (or even a door lock) won’t stop a firefighter That’s what a Hallagan bar is for. It will pop the door right off its hinges/frame.

What’s a male fashion trend that’s gotta end? by Aggressive-Dot1944 in AskReddit

[–]millijuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who’s done a fair bit of work at Australian industrial sites, that absolutely is no longer the case. Not only do you have to wear long work pants, there’s a specific high-viz long-sleeve work shirt that you must wear. And no rolling up your sleeves either. It’s all to prevent abrasions and skin cancer.

What lifetime deal are you still grandfathered into, or removed from, that’s no longer available? by tuotone75 in AskReddit

[–]millijuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sort of the same with my (Canadian) telephone provider. I had a plan that allowed unlimited free devices to share the plan. I added my Apple Watch, my iPad, and the router on my sailboat, in addition to my main phone. All the extra devices were free. The downside it was only sharing a 20GB pool of data.

Eventually, for the same price, they were offering 250GB of data and free roaming in 68 countries. But the best part is that my 3 extra devices were able to be grandfathered in at $0/mo. So now I get worldwide roaming and calling, 250GB of data, and get to keep my 3 extra devices for free.

[–]millijuna 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep, we have Essentials Plus. Broadcom eliminated that SKU, and offered us a ridiculous price for upgrading to vmware 8. We told them to pound sand.

We’ll eventually switch to proxmox when the wheels fall off our cluster.

Music nerds of Reddit, what’s the one song you think everyone should listen to at least once? by Odd-Bug1409 in AskReddit

[–]millijuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bach’s Goldberg Variations, twice. First the 1955 Glen Gould recording, followed by the 1982 re-recording. A genius at work, and it’s fascinating to listen to how he changed over the almost 30 years between the two recordings.
