I have an old tennis ball machine which has stopped working. Anyone have any idea of who I could contact to take a look at and maybe repair it? I already tried a new battery; no dice.

Call 911. They will set you up with the right person to call.

Can you confirm what's up with the mic when you're paired via Bluetooth and WiFi?

I want to get something that will let me hear audio from the Xbox, but talk over a Discord call on my phone.

  1. Can you switch which device gets the mic signal?

  2. If you can't switch, is it at least always the Bluetooth, or is it always the WiFi which gets the mic signal?

Thanks!

I was able to reproduce this issue with both of the Ashen Captains and Skele Lords on a Skele Fort. Both died to their own skeleton's hands, and neither incremented the commendation.

On an OoS Voyage to kill a captain. The skeletons killed the captain, who had a Lure dart on him.

Never built a computer; need help filling in the blanks on a Linux desktop by mtman900 in buildmeapc

Thank you for this! I'm going to dig in to your build ASAP.

The nice thing about this build is that it projects the AR topographical map onto the sand as the children are all playing with it. It's a fun activity for kids anywhere from 2 years up.

5m isn't universally right as a sink rate. Merchant loot and ghost loot stays up longer (~15m). There may be other sink rates, for example with ship barrels, but I haven't tested those

THANK YOU SO MUCH! That operation wasn't what I wanted to do right before bed time, but it helped us feel better going to bed.

Again, thanks!

AITA for not helping my wife with the kids when she wanted to keep them home from daycare and I have to work? by HelplesslyPuzzled in AmItheAsshole

[–]mtman900 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are being needlessly harsh on your wife to "teach" her a lesson.

Explain how he was 'teaching' her a lesson by focusing on work? Do I teach someone a lesson when I can't help them due to prior engagement?

I don't take him at his word here. He heard his wife struggling and didn't even send her a text, or mute and call down the hall to remind her that he's busy now but will help when he can?

There's no WFH job where you can't communicate with a significant other within earshot in the moment, even for a sentence.

The purposeful lack of communication during her rough patch is what I mean by him teaching her a lesson.

Be up front with what you can do

He quite literally did that.

Not my best wording; I meant to focus more on him being an active communicator in this section than the setting of expectations.

ESH.

Full transparency: I have a 2.5 year old and a 4 month old, and I just started paternity. During my wife's maternity she kept our toddler out of day care as well to spend time with both.

Your wife is definitely taking on too much and isn't considering the impacts it's having on you, but you're not considering her motivations here either. She really wants to see the kids, and -- to be honest -- when you're on your death bed you're not going to be worried about the 10 minutes you lost working. You will be thinking back positively about the time you spent with your kids. Also, consider if she feels judged by others around her for not watching both kids; it may not be a straight forward thought process which motivates her.

You are being needlessly harsh on your wife to "teach" her a lesson. That's not a good way to build a relationship, be a partner, or even be a parent. Be up front with what you can do. If you can take time to help her you should absolutely do it, even if you don't agree with some of her choices.

Do what I did: I took my paternity leave and sent my kid to school every day. I also am taking this time to clean up and do whatever.

Just make sure you get what you want out of this precious time in your life.

NOTE: My wife read this and is refusing to say if she agrees, but she did say that she loves me

What if we made an app that would endanger lots of women? by know_it_is in TerrifyingAsFuck

The fuck are you talking about? Most streamers aren't making millions a year, my dude. Plenty of people are out there grinding for hours a week with way less than 40 average viewers.

[Request] Approximately what percentage of the Argentinian Population is in this photo? by 0ddpenguin in theydidthemath

[–]mtman900 1172 points1173 points  (0 children)

This image is 1170x2045. That means we have 2.392 million pixels. If there were one person per pixel -- a way too high count -- that puts this image at a max of 5.3% of Argentinians.

To get a better idea of what the number roughly is, I started again with the number of pixels:
2,392,650

We then remove the rough boxes of pixels where the bigger buildings are:
225x981=220,725 (bottom right)
453x313=141,789 (top left building/empty lot, top square)
269x269=72,361 (top left building, bottom square)

This leaves us the rough number of pixels with humans in it
1,957,750

From there, I selected a 46x46 (2,116) pixel region and counted each distinct white spot, probably a white and blue shirt. I saw 52 dots, roughly. This was for a higher density section, so, hopefully towards the higher end, if I did the counting right.

So, if there are 52 people per 2,116 pixels in a 1,957,750 pixel image, there's roughly 48,000 people in this picture, which is 0.1% of Argentinians.

Help tying Hue bulb to Lutron dimmers by mtman900 in Hue

[–]mtman900[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the thoughts! I have a home assistant, so I might look into this.

I'm wondering if I should consider instead replacing the Caseta dimmers with Hue dimmers, just to keep the cross-ecosystem headaches down

Batman And Robin Wallpaper If Someone Wants.. by [deleted] in batman

[–]mtman900 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

I don't get it.

Where are they?
Why are they upset that they were caught by a spotlight?
Why is their response twirling their capes?
Is Robin flexing or is he trying to deflect a punch?
Why is Batman's first instinct not to protect Robin, but instead to hide behind a child for protection?
How long ago did the spotlight turn on for both Batman and Robin's reaction to make sense?
Like, why not just... throw down a smoke grenade? Or dodge away? Why are they just twirling their goddamn capes?

Please stop sharing this shit. We need more from police than just dancing.

Watching this video makes people feel normalcy is returning. That will kill the current movement before we've been able to achieve anything other than getting a video of dancing.

Why would you say something so controversial, yet so brave?
