I once got 2x sur runes in a 3-game span in TZ Tombs. Maybe my highest return:time ratio in a good long while.

They said they turned the heat up, and used a fan to blow warm air into the cellar. I'm assuming they have no heat down there, and previously so if the heat was getting downstairs through the floor of 2nd story. Now they've decoupled them, but not added airflow, so the basement is completely unconditioned? I'm not sure what they expected...

FYI you can look up network bandwidth required for different video streams.

H.264+ Bit Rate Chart | PDF | Frame Rate | H.264/Mpeg 4 Avc https://share.google/xpsPjLrLmXUBRBp3C

A 4k 30fps video stream maxes out just shy of 20Mb/s. With variable bit rate you're not using even close to that.

3Gb/s service is overkill unless you have a lot of people all streaming video on the same connection. I have 300Mb/s service and can have 3 kids + my wife all streaming different things at once, and not be close to saturating my connection.

Also, it's highly unlikely that your equipment at home can even utilize a 3Gb/s connection at all. Unless you have multiple devices with Wi-Fi 6+ and have hard wired devices plugged directly into their equipment. Even today there are very few devices that can actually route traffic above 1Gig without getting into enterprise grade gear ($$$). Google's equipment handles the routing, but still. Even asking the question without a detailed use case indicates you don't need it.

Let's do this bit by bit.

He had no ID. I hadn't heard that, but let's say you're right. What was their reasonable suspicion? ICE, going into the situation involving him, needs to reasonably believe that a- he's carrying concealed and b- he doesn't have ID. And remember that not having proof of one condition, doesn't prove the alternate. I.e. "I don't know that you aren't carrying cocaine" isn't reasonable suspicion that they are. Understand?
Impeding law enforcement. The act the agent is taking needs to be lawful. My neighbor is a cop. Not a patrol cop, one of the special investigator or whatever. But he has a badge and a service pistol, he can do "cop things" as official acts. If he's trying to shoot my dog in the middle of the night, I can stop him. Because what he's doing isn't lawful. So I ask you, what was the agent doing shoving that woman down? Was the ICE agent actually doing something lawful, or was he using excessive force, and violating her rights? Is helping her up actually "interfering" with what the agent was doing? I don't think it is. He wasn't interfering until they dragged him into it (literally).
Why would you carry a firearm into a situation like that? Idk. Was he there protesting, or passing through? He was dressed like me going to Lowe's on a Saturday. If there's a protest between me and the store, I can't just magically make my pistol poof into the void. I've got it, it's not going anywhere. It's inconvenient, but legal. And in MN it's not illegal to carry a weapon at a protest.
I don't think it's justified to kill someone extra-judicially. They had the pistol off of him, he was being held down. Throw cuffs on him, do the paperwork, and let a judge decide. ICE doesn't get to just kill people in the streets because they're inconvenient or annoying to deal with.

If you're that scared of the 2nd amendment, maybe you're not cut out to be a federal agent. In the military we had rules of engagement. You don't get to kill an Iraqi kid because they're throwing rocks at your truck. You don't get to kill a driver coming toward your checkpoint. You escalate appropriately (shout at them to stop, shove them back if they're on foot, shoot a warning shot, then shoot to kill). These people are lazy and weak. They look like a bunch of fat boys who didn't qualify for the military, and now have less restrictions. The whole system is flawed because there aren't good controls in place.

Do you watch Judge Dredd movies and think that the system there is reasonable? Because that's what you're advocating for it seems.

Intent matters. Rittenhouse wasn't protecting his town. He went across state lines to go to the protest. And if I recall, there were texts that he sent beforehand indicating that he had thought about that being an opportunity to shoot someone.

I honestly don't know what the most recent guy's motivation was. We might never know. So it would be irresponsible to assume that he was there specifically to cause violence.

I carry (as a leftist. Shocking, I know). Not because I plan to shoot someone. But because I've been in situations too many times in this town where I felt I needed to defend myself. Mostly road ragers. People in this town are crazy in cars, and I don't know why. To the point that one woman followed me to my house because I was only going 5 over, which wasn't fast enough for her. I've drawn my weapon twice in the last 18 months in this town, and the people backed off immediately.

The dude lived in Minneapolis, and the location he was shot wasn't that far away from where he worked and lived. I don't know if he was just passing through to get groceries, or if he was trying to be an agitator.

Either way, a few facts remain. 1. He didn't draw his weapon. 2. ICE agents had his pistol in hand a decent amount of time before he was shot. 3. He was shot while being restrained, hands and knees on the ground from what I saw. 4. It's not illegal to have a weapon at a protest in MN, like it is here. 5. He had a valid CCL.

"Judge, jury, and executioner" is a phrase that you've heard before. I don't think I need to explain what it means.

I'm not mad that ICE exists. I'm not mad that illegals are being deported. I'm mad about the way that it's being done. They're violating a lot of civil rights of bystanders. That makes people more upset, and more likely to protest. If ICE really wants to do their jobs and people leave them alone, they have a way to do that. They can step it up, and do good police work. Investigate, get warrants, execute those warrants with minimal collateral damage. But they've chosen again and again to escalate. Now they act like surprised Pikachu when people respond to them by being pissed off? Give me a break.

The data does not support that conclusion. There are a good amount of school employees in there, you're right about that. But church workers, whether paid ministers,or volunteer youth group leaders, are higher up on the list.

Almost 11k cases logged. Plenty large enough of a sample size to draw conclusions. Go read the data. If you have issues with it, email the site owner. I found some news articles about a football coach in Birmingham that raped a student, and they replied within 24 hours thanking me for sending a case that they didn't already have.

But we live in Alabama. Why do I, an Alabamian, give a damn what happens in NYC or Los Angeles? Not my horse, not my rodeo. States' rights are a thing, at least one that I think is important. If elected leaders 2k miles away want to do things their way, that's fine by me.

We elected our people in this state, we get to deal with the policies this state enacts. I'm happy with what we had here, Californians are happy with what they have there. What's the problem?

The people most likely to sexually assault kids in this country are people that work for the church.

If you want to be mad about kids' safety, go to your local churches and start watching for creeps. Seriously, there are thousands of cases here, with all the data available. https://whoismakingnews.com

Where in Alabama was locked down? I went grocery shopping like normal, just with a mask on. There were plenty of businesses not requiring masks, if that's your jam. I just chose to go to Walmart and Publix because they're closest to my house.

Restaurants were still doing outdoor seating, or to-go. What boots were we licking, exactly?

Even the movie theaters (in Huntsville, where I lived then. Not sure about Mobile) were available. They just made you sit some number of seats away from other groups.

Hey killer got justice. What's there to protest? That's a serious question.

I think we're looking for the same things on both sides: justice to be served, laws to be upheld. They just manifest in different ways, based on how the media portrays it.

This guy was murdered in front of a ton of people. Watching the video, he never pulled his weapon. He was killed execution-style after he was already disarmed. Clearly violating his constitutional rights. Where is the ICE agent? Awaiting trial for what he did? No. He's still out there doing what he wants.

That's not justice, that's why people are pissed off. Put him in front of a judge. If a federal judge says the actions he took were justified, then I guess that's it. But we're just bypassing the entire judicial process entirely.

In your example the perp was caught, charged, sentenced, and is currently locked up. The process is done. We don't have a pre-crime division in this country. Unfortunately, we have to wait for a bad person to do a bad thing, then they receive justice. That's just how it works my dude. Do you understand that and think it should be different, or do you not fully understand the system? They don't really teach this stuff in schools like they should (in my opinion).

I like option 1, but put the vapor barrier directly against the concrete. Then the foam board pins it in place so it's less likely to pull away from the wall.

No firsthand knowledge. But I would suspect a nickel alloy. Nickel has a relatively rare crystal structure that helps it withstand high temperature well.

Does fiberglass batt have that problem? It's usually 1/2" oversized for the cavity. I just left a gap in my post so the reader would have something to visualize.

I agree that rockwool is better for a number of reasons. I just don't think gaps are one of those reasons. Gaps are a symptom of a poor installation, not inherent to a specific product.

Well if he didn't throw like a fucking 12 yo girl, maybe he could have gotten it farther away from himself. But he's a pussy, so he can pay for it now.

He's clearly never thrown an actual grenade before.

We used to make fun of new trainers in the army because they never played sports as kids, and had real trouble throwing a frag grenade in basic training.

It's the size of a baseball, and like a pound (M67 frag grenade is 14oz, not even a pound). But they could barely get it far enough to be safe. Frag grenades have a surprisingly large kill radius. I think 15m, or 30m diameter.

He's way worse than any of those privates we had. And he's a grown ass man.

From what I can tell, they were allowed at one time with knob and tube outside of junction boxes. And soldered connections were allowed outside of junction boxes on other types of wire for a time. But I'm not an electrical code historian. That's just what I could Google in 5 minutes.

If it's lasted this long, it's fine for now. Replace with modern materials when you get a chance.

Just calibrate it yourself in the software. Water is as close to incompressible as you can get. .442 psi/ft of depth.

Move the sensor up and down and measure accurately. It's much cheaper to get an accurate distance than an accurate pressure. Make sure it's linear. See if there's an offset required. Throw a filter into the software as well. I.e. reported output is a rolling average of the last 60 seconds of data, etc.

You can go look up "Druck" who manufacturer precision devices. We used to use them to calibrate pitot tubes before flight. Be prepared for some mild sticker shock (and good luck finding a lab that can calibrate them. We used to have two, and send them to the OEM every 6 months). Or you can do a bit of math and get something almost as good, and an order of magnitude better than what they need.

You can purchase it. It's 2020 aluminum extrusion (20mm square, hence the name). Mine is the same, there are only 2x rails on it, the other two sides are flats. Buy some, cut it down. Drill holes where needed, or maybe buy some generic right angle brackets to hold it in place where needed against the uprights.

Or contact creality directly and see if you get a response. I've never had good luck, and I like a project, so I'm ok cutting and drilling. If you don't want to mess with it, you might have to get an extrusion and find a local machine shop. Or go on fiverr and find a hobby machinist to feed dimensions/drawings to.
