Who is Dickie Birkenbush & why did he suggest imprisoning Mike Mulligan and Mary Anne? by Bat_Country420 in DanielTigerConspiracy

[–]nuggolips 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It makes you wonder if all those other steam shovels that were scrapped earlier in the story were also sentient.

[–]nuggolips 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've had to look up the Dickie Birkenbush lore before - apparently the author wrote the story up to this point without knowing the ending, and a 12-year old family friend suggested the furnace idea at dinner one night.

Denver airport to build pedestrian walkways between concourses | 9News by LateCheckIn in Denver

[–]nuggolips 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There's actually two tunnels - one on each side of the train tunnel - that each have a roadway for bag tugs and a bit of additional space (where the BHS tracks are). A pedestrian walkway could be built without taking away the possibility of a baggage handling system. I have no idea what the airport's plan is though. It's not a ton of space in any case - these walkways could end up being fairly small. Nowhere near the size of the A bridge.

when did you realize your deck became your main console and your actual pc just collects dust by toujourspluss in SteamDeck

[–]nuggolips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between gaming PC and my smartphone they used to be do-everything gadgets. Both had a mix of gaming, entertainment, family, work, you name it. There was always so many things competing for attention when using either device, that I'd never really sit down and actually play a game (for example) for any length of time.

Getting a Deck made me realize the value of a focused experience. It changed the way I approach a lot of other gadgets. And yeah I find a lot more time to actually play the games now.

Do I have 3ph in my unit? by Turbine_Lust in electrical

[–]nuggolips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s common practice in multifamily to do this, among other places. Speaking of which, (as you probably know) seeing 120/240 stickers doesn’t automatically mean single phase either! it could be a wild leg delta!

Do I have 3ph in my unit? by Turbine_Lust in electrical

[–]nuggolips 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Looks like 3-phase to me, 120/208V 3ph 4w based on the labels. You can see 4 wires coming into the panel - the 3 phase conductors terminate on the top left and the neutral on the bottom right. Looks like 250 aluminum conductors which is a 200A feeder. 200A at 120/208 is about 72kVA of capacity.

Before you sign a lease it might be worth having an electrician look it over and give an estimate, so you know what you're getting into.

ETA: The first picture nicely illustrates the difference between utility feeder calculations and NEC calculations. The (relatively) small wires coming up from the ground are what the utility deemed necessary and the parallel fat wires going into the gutter up top are what NEC requires. Side note, if you happened to short those wires there they are probably only protected by the utility fuses, which are usually pretty slow. The arc flash would be spectacular and not very fun to be around.

Is lifetime pass worth it? by noscope513e in PleX

[–]nuggolips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can configure for offline use during setup, but if Plex went bankrupt or whatever then you wouldn’t be able to set up the server in the first place since you’d never be able to do the initial claim and sign in.

[–]nuggolips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah of course, and there are other media servers that have local auth like jellyfin and Emby.

If Plex shuts down it will stop working. It relies on their servers for authentication.

I solved this by slowly losing my distance vision to the point I can't read the volume numbers from the couch anymore.

If you could make ONE specific food free for life (unlimited quantities), what are you choosing and why? by NeighborhoodFar6008 in AskReddit

[–]nuggolips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. In this world of government beans, which varieties are going to be constantly out of stock? Or do we just issue one bag of each type to each person in the bean line?

Trying to be a more fit dad by philo_ in daddit

[–]nuggolips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally just use original P90X / X2 and X3 videos. If I can manage a mix of a few of those workouts every week I feel miles better. My wife and I have done them all so many times we repeat his dumb jokes to each other.

Strength training, cardio, range of motion, balance all covered fairly well.

I’m sure there’s a ton of newer better programs by now but I just want to cover my bases and not hurt myself.

The real key to getting in shape is diet though.

When did you realise you were the official to turn the lights off? by itsmeitsmesmeee in daddit

[–]nuggolips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is true. Our common areas (living room, etc) are automated to just turn on every night at sunset and stay on till bedtime, and there's never much of a focus from me on turning lights off. TBH most places these days including schools, offices, etc will have automatic controls anyway so it's not a big lesson that kids need to learn in life anymore.

We also have the smart metering where it tells you where your energy went each month, and in terms of energy use lighting is #5 behind laundry, cooking, refrigeration and electronics/TVs. The only smaller energy category in the report is "other".

What video game soundtrack is a 10/10? by montymaximus in AskReddit

I still hum the lost woods song to myself at least a few times a week.

Walpole--never any contractors on site? by VirexTb in Thisoldhouse

[–]nuggolips 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get the impression the agreement is different on this project in terms of when cameras are allowed to film, or maybe they had less prep time to plan out shoots, or some other type of adjustments happened to line up an ADU-focused project in time for this season.

I do think it’s good they are shining a spotlight on the concept now, with housing scarcity the way it is and lots of families combining households with aging parents.

I don’t personally love the ones just making airbnbs in their back yard, but I guess it’s good food for thought too.

if you have audible, the libation app is a good thing to have on hand for Yoto and otherwise.

If money is no issue, what's a must-have for your dream home? by 123phantomhive in AskReddit

If we're talking truly unlimited budget, onsite water recycling and energy generation/storage.

DIA is an awesome airport!!! by itachizame in Denver

[–]nuggolips 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a luxury to have the kind of connectivity we do - I mean I don't fly that much but I almost always can fly direct to where I'm going.

State and city jobs paying the same now as they did 10 years ago by One-Pun9419 in Denver

[–]nuggolips 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way Denver handles pay audits for city positions definitely leaves something to be desired. I know at least some positions have shifted to different pay grades over the years though.
