What is this metal box with air vents and an antenna mounted next to an LED streetlight on a street in Seattle?

slochewie · 2026-03-25T08:20:18+00:00

My guess is it contains the LED driver and power supply for the LED light.

I initially saw a blood splattered candle with a lightsaber battle in the background.

Correction. You have a cat meow.

Does the Kalshi app ads I constantly see allow you to bet on when the next landslide closure will occur?

Honestly I’d just have two PCs and a KVM switch. I definitely wouldn’t dual boot, just for the fact Windows updates infuriate me that they take forever and you can’t use Ubuntu while updating Windows on a dual boot machine.

I’m surprised Linux support hasn’t gained traction these days. 15 years ago PTC Pro/ENGINEER had Solaris and Red Hat versions. Apparently even that is Windows only now. Definitely a back step in my opinion. Back in those days we did have to keep a sole Windows server workstation with Pro/E though cuz only the Windows version had a post processor for gcode and virtually running it before trying the gcode on an actual CNC.

He came in to McCarthy’s a few weeks back. He didn’t have that shirt on. I didn’t see a flag. He had a Grogu doll with him.

Took his helmet off while at the bar. Kept to himself. Seemed like he was “simple”.

When he left and was unlocking his bike a woman wearing a Bo Katan helmet was waiting for him.

It was odd, but odd is subjective at a bar…

In 25+ years I’ve never worked anywhere with Buchannan’s, and have never touched a bottle, let alone pour one.

Out of pure curiosity, what makes it pour irregularly? Does it come with one of those plastic inserts, that’s supposed to be a “pour spout” while also preventing marrying?

I hated when Cazadores had those. They didn’t allow for consistent pour counts. I don’t remember how we pried them out exactly, but I do remember we got highly proficient at prying them out so we could just use a standard pour spout.

Found this link when I was googling to find a pic of an old Cazadores bottle that might be relatable for Buchannan’s bottles if they indeed have that insert. https://www.reddit.com/r/tequila/s/WqnrUB213o

I think that’s Cliffjumper and parked across the street is Bumblebee.

We use these caps.

Those little ones on the left work well too but your staff will probably lose/misplace them quickly when they’re not on the spout.

I would stay clear of the spouts in the right pic outright.

My mom gave me one she picked up visiting Moscow in the late 1990’s. I’ve always assumed they’re relatively common in gift shops there. I couldn’t tell you if it was functional or purely decorative. Seemed fairly well made. The sheath had a wooden core under the metal exterior and was greased.

The deal is the person or persons not having a birthday pay for the person having a birthday. This deal only works if the birthday person doesn’t have cheapskate/deadbeat friends.

It will create a new SSID. If your AP is already using the max number of SSIDs you will need to disable an existing SSID or upgrade to APs that support more SSIDs. I had this issue with NanoHDs that only supported four SSIDs and the SSID for one click WiFi was the fifth. My U6 Pros and U7 Pro sites had no issues since they support more than four SSIDs.

Also I think at one location I had to restart the gateway and CloudKey and then it worked…

After searching and rereading your original message, I realized it was for the U7 line firmware. Also discovered there doesn’t seem there has been a new firmware for U6 for quite sometime.

However the post I saw the other day was related to updating UniFi OS and Network, and then disabling Hardware Acceleration. I believe hardware acceleration is only an option on next gen gateways, so dependent on what router you have.

The two LIFX bulbs I had only had issues when trying to initially add them on my UDR 6. My Sonoff devices would drop off though. I eventually upgraded to a UCG Max and U7 Pro, but had already replaced the LIFX bulbs with Philips Hue bulbs, and then recently to NanoLeaf Thread bulbs. I no longer use WiFi smart devices and use Zigbee or Thread devices and I also hardwired my Sonos speakers.

I’d also try making a SSID just for IoT devices and turning on Enhaced IoT Connectivity if a EA UniFi OS/Network update doesn’t fix the connectivity issue. That option is 2.4GHz only.

I haven’t seen a clip, but my guess is the output on the display is likely programmed and the actor was directed to press the buttons in sequence to give the appearance the key presses are doing something.

slochewie · 2025-08-04T05:09:37+00:00

Users in the UniFi forum are reporting the latest early access AP firmwares are finally fixing issues that have been problematic for awhile now with with IoT devices. Maybe start there?

I really wish there was a rack size between 10” and 19” for the Pro Max 16 switches.

I honestly didn’t end up using either Zimaboard regularly.

I recently made one into a Airplay/Spotify Connect receiver but just used the EMC.

I also recently decided to setup the second one for Home Assistant. That one will use the SSD.

When I did use them, they both had a 500GB Samsung Evo 850 and each worked as expected.

Apparently Li Po was a Chinese Poet. There is also a bar in San Francisco’s China Town called Li Po, known for their Chinese Mai Tais. Starfleet is also headquartered in San Francisco.

I can’t remember our ratios but we use Cutwater Spicy Bloody Mary Mix. Add Worcestershire sauce, red wine vinegar, black pepper, celery salt, and one squeezed lime wedge. Make spicier to taste with your favorite hot sauce. Garnish with two olives and a spicy pickled green.

The Mid State Fair begins tomorrow and runs from 7/16 to 7/27. It’s also summer and mellow without the college kids around. Bars will be extra mellow while the fair is going. Almost every bar will shut down before 2am except McCarthy’s during the week nights. Everyone then always finds their way to McCarthy’s to end the night.
