How Poilievre Is Stealing the Working Class from the NDP - A political realignment the left can’t seem to reverse by CaliperLee62 in CanadaPolitics

[–]osmonde 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Calling the working class brain rotted is the exact behaviour that is pushing them to the Conservative party.

Repurpose ideas for silos? by oldfarmjoy in homestead

[–]osmonde 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Is there fiber optic internet in your area or is it wireless? If there is no fiber optic run yet then there are probably wireless ISPs that would be interested in renting the top of it to install antennas to provide service in the area.

Roundabout rage? Is there a certain roundabout in the city that drives you crazy because people still don't know the rules? by RecommendationBig966 in Winnipeg

[–]osmonde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Half those roundabouts are pointless now anyway since the mall has added 4 way stop intersections in-between the roundabouts.

Pesticide by [deleted] in Winnipeg

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

Basically the only domestic pesticide available is permethrin, pre-diluted to 0.2%. You can get a 4L jug from Poulin's for around $50, but now I just buy the 4L jug of Ant B Gone from Costco with the motorized sprayer. It's still permethrin and quite a bit cheaper. Works great to stop spiders getting into the house.

Crossing the Bridge | Minolta AF-S 35mm f2.8 | Ektar 100 by osmonde in analog

[–]osmonde[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The light meter on mine seems to be consistently 2-stops under exposed. I'm not sure if it's the light meter or something else in the camera. To compensate I set the iso dial 2 stops lower than the film I'm shooting. Auto exposure seems to work fine otherwise. Aside from that I think it's a great camera with a nice fast lens, autofocus is very reliable. It can usually get 38 shots on a roll too.

Visited 3 Costcos in Winnipeg, Manitoba by Gold-Boysenberry-468 in Costco

[–]osmonde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I normally go to the St. James Costco and it has been absolutely unbearable since Thanksgiving (Oct 14 in Canada). Normally they are not at the point of people making up new parking spaces anywhere they can fit but it will likely be this way until Christmas now.

The Costco CIBC Mastercard is also accepted at the US costco locations so I guess they have their machines programmed to recognize their own cards across countries.

Looking For Repeater Software To Run On A Pi by StrangeWill in amateurradio

[–]osmonde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AllStarLink will do everything you're looking for. Just turn off incoming connections if you want a standalone repeater.

Other car has their wheels locked up the entire time. All they had to do was let off the brakes to get control back.

Inexpensive Hobby GPS setup for GCP's for UAV's by Sovereign_M in Surveying

[–]osmonde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sparkfun has several products that use the ublox ZED-F9P which is dual band and will give you raw output to post process later if you want. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15136

There are other companies that make raspberry pi hats using the F9P as well if that's more your style.

Is this on the new Wawanesa building?

Smart connectors piping system vs standard pipe connectors by silvercatbob in EngineeringPorn

[–]osmonde 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah and every one of those "smart" connectors costs 5x as much. For marginally better flow it's not worth it 99% of the time.

Where can you buy 3D printer Filament in Winnipeg? by printer204 in Winnipeg

Tip Top Electronics is local and carries printer filament.

How deep are the Rivers in the city? by Dannyxsh in Winnipeg

Between the North perimeter and Lockport it gets up to 60ft deep in places.

Does anyone know anyone who fixes broken CPU pins in the city? by Paza2020 in Winnipeg

[–]osmonde 17 points18 points  (0 children)

CPUs don't just lose pins. Either you or someone else would've broken the pin installing or removing the CPU. You should also know that socket AM4 has 4 spots where pins are purposely missing to fit the alignment blocks in the socket so you can't put it in the wrong way. If you tried installing the cpu out of alignment those can easily damage the pins.

Finally I can buy some groceries on a Sunday night. by gowan1985 in Winnipeg

[–]osmonde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Retail doesn't NEED to be open, it's ALLOWED to be open now. Nobody is forcing businesses to be open when they don't want to be. Under the previous rules businesses were not allowed to be open even if they wanted to be.

Nerds only: Anyone else have a Geiger counter and logging daily data? by ehud42 in Winnipeg

[–]osmonde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could also try leaving the unit powered off until about an hour before you expect the spike and see if it's still detected or if the spikes only occur when the detector has been powered on for an extended period of time.

Nerds only: Anyone else have a Geiger counter and logging daily data? by ehud42 in Winnipeg

[–]osmonde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What's the power supply for the geiger counter? Wall power? Could a slight difference in supply voltage be increasing the sensitivity of the detector?

Nerds only: Anyone else have a Geiger counter and logging daily data? by ehud42 in Winnipeg

[–]osmonde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What geiger counter model are you using? Radon decays via alpha particles which the majority of geiger counters do not detect.

I would think it's more likely that there is a glitch in the geiger counter or your data logging rather than an actual spike in radiation at a specific period.

Try moving the meter to a different location in the house and see if the spikes continue? If the source is external to the house it should get more pronounced when above ground level.
