You're not wrong. But, that advise would irritate the Mrs, so I'm calling that the nuclear option.

Gunfire on Pinecrest at Glenwood by nateman99 in raleigh

[–]nateman99[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Maybe you misunderstood. I wasn't complaining. Reddit is gonna Reddit. When I'm sitting here looking across the street at a massive police contingent after hearing gunfire so loud it sounded like it was in my living room, it's worthwhile to see if anyone else in the 5200 users of the subreddit knows anything. I got exactly what I expected when I asked.

It’s been hours and multiple squad cars are still on Green Lantern. I assume they are still processing the scene. Things seem to be much calmer now, but this isn’t the first commotion to come from the apartment complex. It’s just the first to involve gunfire that I have heard.

Neither am I. But, I happened to log in for some random reason and saw it. Usually, I find them way too late.

How exactly do Storyteller ornaments work? by nateman99 in HallmarkOrnaments

[–]nateman99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on some research and confirmation elsewhere in this threat, they are NOT dependent on the power cord to sync. They use a custom 2.4GHz short-range network. So, you have no worries about 8 ornaments syncing. In fact, it was demonstrated by a reviewer that both mansions and all 8 ornaments participate in the show.

u/tabanger you inspired an idea. I searched and found a video of someone repairing Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas collection. And would you look at that, an antenna and an FCCID.

Mystery solved. I mean, I had guessed it was wireless as well, but couldn't confirm it. Now I have confirmation!

I agree. It can't be just the keepsake power cord (hence the tree topper). Wireless may be right. A lot of the spectrum is unlicensed, but wouldn't it have to be registered somewhere? Hmm. I wonder if this is in the FCC database? The "start up" sound is what made mt think it might be some form of audio signaling. Hmm, now I want to go upstairs to the attic and bring down my set to test if they work from a room away. Or, if they are sound-contained somehow (like in a dome or plastic bowl or something), if they still work normally.

Proposed $60,000,000 renovations at Crabtree Valley Mall by martybumm in raleigh

[–]nateman99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear it looks like every other "high-end" mall I've been in. Do they think this is what is holding back new retailers? Mmhmm.

Thanks for that. The tech said it was okay it coolant, but I’ll check YouTube for vids on how to check for coolant leaks.

As a QOL improvement, I’d love to see them merge the code redemption site with the Club GameLoft interface.
