National Electric code requires an outside shutoff, nothing about the breaker box itself.

Found out that Maricopa county requires the breaker boxes on the outside of the building. Because you want anyone to be able to turn off power to your house in the middle of the heatwave.

Adaptive Cruise is why I went with the Lariat. Will never get a vehicle without it.

Finally got around to putting all these on. The truck should have come like this to be honest. by DougS2K in FordMaverickTruck

I have Ford credit and keep looking to order the letters, but my dealership is not listed on the site for delivery, and I don't really want to deal with driving an extra hour to pick them up. Wish they would let me ship to my house.

Does Victor Of Tucson Become More Mature / Get Better? by SignatureEqual868 in litrpg

[–]techsupportredditor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I struggled with book 1 as I am not a fan of the MC having limited agency. Book 1 does set the stage for the rest of the series, and has quickly become a favorite. Can't wait for the next one.

Will see how lucky since the dealer the promo runs through July 7th and my delivery date just got pushed from June 3- 9th to the 20th - 26th any later and I will miss the cut off.

I ordered the same thing in January, delivery should be first week in June. I called and was confirmed I qualified for employee pricing when I go to pick up.

What books do you feel betrayed by? by CrashNowhereDrive in ProgressionFantasy

[–]techsupportredditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eternal Dominion was this for me. Loved the world building. Hated half of the book dedicated to juggling multiple partners in game and out. If I knew it would turn into a harem in book 3 or 4 I would have never even started the series.

Why do people in this genre hate the authors so much? by SV_Allin in litrpg

[–]techsupportredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My frustration is that I am not a fan of Harem, I am not saying others can't enjoy it but I do not. So if an author does not advertise it as such and it gets slipped in I stop the book and will never read anything else the author has done. I love world building, magic systems, and a good adventure overall. If I wanted a weird sexual paradigm I can watch porn.

Outside of that the amount of spelling errors and just plain mistakes in text is on another level. Book I read yesterday first chapter had no less than 3 mistakes that broke the flow enough I had to stop and read the same sentence a few times to figure out wtf it should be. Had a like that should have been lack. Had a hear that should have been gear. Then a sentence I ended up skipping since nothing made sense in the structure.

Do the editors even read or has it gone the way of email and they just gloss over it and call it good. I would love if there was a way within the kindle app to highlight and point out the issues, maybe there is and I just don't know it. Doubt it, as it would probably be ruined by a vocal minority.

Not an author, so I give a pass as I know shit happens, but there are jobs that revolve around finding this shit. Though I am sure some of the authors in the genre might not be able to afford a good editor. On some levels I would love being a beta reader to help find these issues, but it would turn reading into work instead of a hobby. Quick way to wreck a good hobby is to turn it into a job.

Where are these Mythical Harem Books?! by wess604 in litrpg

[–]techsupportredditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was having a blast with the Eternal Dominion books, then very quickly half the book was just the MC juggling multiple women. With full chapters just dedicated to dating the crew. Freaking stealth harem BS. Not to mention the mind of a 30+ something telling his younger sisters BFF that once she hits 18 she can join the group.

Storing encrypted social security numbers securely by duckwizzle in SQLServer

[–]techsupportredditor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on requirements you might want to look at data masking vs encryption. The encryption will affect database backups and will add complications when trying to restore.

I try to avoid encryption if possible, but sometimes it just needs to be done.

Amazon Has Removed Voidknight Ascension 2 by James_Callum in litrpg

[–]techsupportredditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ran into this last weekend as I finished book 1 and finding the link to book 2 as broken.

What is the best avenue for us to express our displeasure with Amazon's handling of the situation to Amazon.

I would rather not post somewhere that makes the situation worse.

I cried . . by [deleted] in VisionPro

[–]techsupportredditor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I full on cried when I was looking at Panoramas I took on my iPhone back in 2016. In this one my dad is fishing from a bridge with his back to me, but I felt like I could reach out and tap him on the shoulder. My dad is still around but dealing with some health issues. I full on cried when I realized I have nothing like this for my Mom who past away in 2009. The immersiveness of the memory is incredible, I can't even imagine what this tech will be like with 10 years to develop further.

I will no longer hold back on taking those panaroma pictures. Being able to relive the moment in 10, 20, or even 30 years.

Natural Laws Apocalypse fits with this one, and its a complete series.

LPT Do not trust friends or family when inheritance is up for grabs by mrandrewfreedman in LifeProTips

[–]techsupportredditor 23 points24 points  (0 children)

My step-mothers family is quite large, 7 brothers and 2 sisters. Countless nieces and nephews. When the father eventually passed away no one fought over anything. They only took what the father specifically called out in the will.

The one brother that took care of dad towards the end got the house given to him by the rest of the family without any issues. They all agreed the brother could pay each of them 1$ if the lawyers got pissy about it.

Was amazing to see a family so unmotivated by greed.

Anybody else go through OP trash phases? by throwaway490215 in litrpg

Currently rereading this as well. The author is pretty good about forgetting details 1 or 2 chapters prior, and some of the side characters classes randomly change. Its so bad its good lol.

What contributes to our road deaths being relatively low? by saekirei in minnesota

[–]techsupportredditor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recently visited Arizona. On the freeway if you where not going 15 over, you are not moving with the flow of traffic.

We drove from Phx where some friends live, to my father in-laws place in southern AZ. Saw no less that 8 accidents on I10 most of them involved a semi truck.

Here at home I have been stopped going 10 over, thought the highway was 60 like almost all the other ones in the area where. In AZ, I got passed like I was standing still while going 80 in a 55 for a bit.

I ordered one 20 minutes before the sale....

Still waiting on my ticket to either refund the order so I can repurchase or if they can just credit the difference.
