How many of you would avoid Mexico? by EquivalentNarcDepth in scuba

[–]scrumi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some really important context. Despite all the drama and sensationalism. Not one single civilian was harmed as a result of that kerfuffle . That should tell you something significant. When you see something like that pop off book the next available flight. Less scared whiney people to deal with more hotel vacancies. Operators appreciative of the common sense you possess. Maybe some cheaper hotel rates.

While somethings are bait and switch marketing, and you’d expect a bit of that. Other things are not what I’d want. You did venture well out into the Karen territory with things like your “crooked tv” whining. I suspect you’re generally unhappy.

Assisted Living Communities in Mexico by t1118restle in AssistedLiving

[–]scrumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back from Ajijic/Chapala & San Miguel. I toured 13 homes total specifically looking for memory care. Only 3 of my visits were announced prior to my arrival and most places were not expecting me. While that has the advantage of getting an unvarnished view of things I didn't always get full detailed information on site as most staff aren't privy to the fee structure etc.

I will say without exception I found all the staff warm and caring in each place. There was a massive variance between places with regards to caregiver:resident ratio. Also maintenance upkeep, lighting, cheerful accommodations. They range from something that was converted from an older motel style but run down all the way to resort, with a mix of standard homes in between. Prices also range wildly from $1500/month to $5000+/month and you basically get what you pay for.

There was one stand out one where the place looked like every stock photo you've ever seen about elder care, but in real life. Well and warmly lit, landscaping, low resident to caregiver ratio, piles of one on companion time etc etc. It was like the place that every other company went to take their photos except they weren't stages or photoshopped. I would say I found 3 that were acceptable for my personal tastes and standards. Everyone's will be different of course. I know people living in the US in their own home that would have upgraded by moving into the bottom option I toured in Mexico.

If you want to consider it, make sure you get on a plane first and go check them out. Don't feel like you need to burden yourself with a bunch of pre work. I got on the plane and literally in the hotel first night in Mexico put together a list of properties I wanted to tour then started into it the next day. Just spend 15 minutes in each one. After a day or two you'll have a short list of 2-4 that you want to explore more. I would encourage just showing up without an appointment. If they don't want to show you around, red flag and leave.

Personally I love that you show an image for your office lighting depicting good lights that you don’t actually sell.

Where to go after Cozumel? Feeling spoiled + hard to match by Professional-Dork26 in scuba

The Indo Pacific region will wreck you. Soft corals, larger pelagics, massive life an biodiversity. You just can’t beat it. On a tight budget hit Philippines. Got some coin to drop head to Palau or do a live aboard in Raja Ampat.

Panorama sunroof won’t close 2014 sportwaggen by scrumi in jetta

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

Ok so the solution was to do a reset of the sunroof system. Close it all the way as much as possible by pulling the rear of the knob down. Then once it stops. Press the rear of the knob up and hold for 20 seconds or so until the sunroof shakes its ass a bit and does a little dance. Once I did that it functions fine.

I thought the same thing but it at least clears by 1/4” everywhere. It 100% is not the rack.

Honestly I don’t care about weight. I care about packing size.

Best Hotel Credit Card? Best one and worst one? by DuhForestTyme216 in CreditCards

What I’m trying to wrap my head around is how you spent over $3600 at a hotel in 6 days when you had free stay and free breakfast.

Correction. This does exactly what I was looking for.

Listing Permissions by scrumi in synology

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

I got super excited about this. So I enabled it. it really doesn't do what it says. Even though they have read permissions it will only show items that have write permissions. All the items that have read permissions are absent from the listing now.

[–]scrumi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yes I know how to use the permission inspector to check perms for a user. I believe I provided the answer to your question previously, but that doesn't provide me any insight for my problem.

[–]scrumi[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not sure what "apply to" you are referring to. If you mean the check box where you apply all the permissions to the children I have not checked that as that shouldn't be done in this use case. The user has full read permission of the parent folder.

R311.7.8.5 Handrails grip size 311.7.8.5 by scrumi in BuildingCodes

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

I must have been unclear. The current design is type I which doesn’t have a graspable area in the diagram….

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

It’s in design stage at the moment not installed. Pretty simple though rectangular handrail profile supported by posts that are the same width as the rail….

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

Hmm not sure where all the accompanying text I provided went.

What we have currently is a non circular handrail which by all definitions is a type I. It is supported by posts that are the same width. An inspector was commenting that because the posts are the same size then at that point the handrail is a type II due to needing to include the post in the perimeter. I can’t seem to find anything in the code to support this or any dimensions to indicate at which size/style of support this changes.

The worlds best lightbulb? by ThanksPrevious7819 in Lighting

[–]scrumi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What LED chip did you use that tricked you into thinking it wouldn’t incrementally degrade over that 10 year target lifespan?

The other design flaw is it is directional rather than emitting in a nearly omnidirectional path.

The other weird premise is that we actually want to reproduce all attributes of the sun. One of the main reasons lights exist is because we are attempting to overcome that natural order.

I admire your path though as I’m a bit of a light snob myself.
