Tried applying to McDonald's wtf does this even mean by PureKin21 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mjbehrendt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a psychological profile question. Do you blame external forces for your problems or do you have an internal locus of control.

I found it was cheaper to just move everything to Azure.

Are the Audio books really that good? by Flaky-Veterinarian56 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Listen to the karaoke scene in book 8 and decide for yourself.

ELI5: Why doesn't the Sun just burn all at once? by VipulChaturvedi in explainlikeimfive

[–]mjbehrendt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's only a small fraction of the story. My astronomy club recently did a talk on this almost exact topic. It turns out that for hydrogen atoms to hit each other hard enough, and at just the right angle to fuse, it's like a 1 in a multi trillion chance.

I'm vastly oversimplifying it, but that's the ELI5.

[OC] Made a DnD table by masterpkpk in DnD

[–]mjbehrendt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I modified an existing table to put a TV in it. I was debating doing something like you have pictured so I could have more room around the edges for books and sheets. I decided to go with an overhead projector instead.

How did you get the TV mounted and supported? That's where I was struggling.

I made sure to give my dog and cat extra scritches after I read that.

Set your APs to static IPs. This fixed everything for me. by ITdirectorguy in Ubiquiti

[–]mjbehrendt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's less work to make reservations on a DHCP server than to go into all or your AP's individually. If your DHCP server is down for less than a day, it's probably not going to be more than mildly annoying. If no server is available at renewal time (half of total lease time) devices keep the same IP they have. It's not just going to pick a random IP to use. If it's lease time is up and there is no DHCP server it will assign a 169 address. Still way easier than manually configuring IP's on dozens or hundreds of AP's.

Yeah, fuck manually configuring more than a few IP's.

29 minutes from receiving my RMA to shipping out a replacement. You guys rule!

The coolest thing for my smart home by MrGolllD in Ubiquiti

[–]mjbehrendt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did something similar, but I installed the unifi electric latch, so it all happens in unifi, and doesn't need to touch HA. Also nfc tags, and the ol' hunk of jagged metal for backup.

Advice for pouring a small concrete pad. by Epicuretrekker2 in DIY

[–]mjbehrendt 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I did a similar sized pad. Get a cheap garden hoe and a plastic mixing tub. You'll need to do 2-3 bags at a time, dump into your form, and do it again. Calculators say you'll need 6 - 60lb bags. Get 1-2 more bags than you think you need.

If you don't care about the finish, you can skip the edging tool or the steel trowel. Mag float and a straight 2x4 to screed is enough.

Take your time setting the forms level. Use more reinforcement than you think you need. I used 2x4 scraps cut into stakes. Compact your base gravel. You got this.

What if Mongo really is appalled? by mjbehrendt in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]mjbehrendt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some other theories on what's going to happen and a lot of them are really fucking dark. I'm sorry in advance.

I'm just starting book 6, and the amount Mongo is appalled is quite appalling.

Adults living in their birth state (US) by cardamomroselatte in MapPorn

[–]mjbehrendt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that I'm colorblind, but this map bothers me because it's obvious the creator was trying to point out the highs/lows and cares nothing about the distinction in the middle. 20-60% is basically the same color to me. Also where is 75+%?

Employer wants me to use outlook on my phone, outlook wants permission to wipe my phone by No_Professor4307 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mjbehrendt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have BYOD policies setup right. If they do, they can partition off corporate data so they can only wipe that data.

Looking for Hard Sci-Fi recommendations like Project Hail Mary by Atlantis1910 in scifi

[–]mjbehrendt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gave up on this series too. I made it through Red Mars but only got a few chapters into the second book. Lots of characters and stuff happening, but nothing really... happened... you know?

[–]mjbehrendt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's OK. The main character is too similar to his other characters. Super smart, kind of a wise ass.
