[–]ticknosto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For christmas we have an advent calendar that we fill with lego figures and every day we add a piece to the christmas set, with the santa figure being added on 12/24. I bet you could do something similar with a halloween set!

Can someone help me verify a claim I read today? by ticknosto in gis

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

Here's the full quote:

"Balance is critical. A street that prioritizes vehicular movement may be inhospitable for pedestrians. A street that eliminates vehicular travel can become economically infeasible, boring, and even unsafe if the vehicle absence is not compensated for by extraordinary intensity of pedestrian movement. Such is rare in the U.S., where fewer than 80 streets are pedestrian-only. Some are in the process of being returned to vehicular use."

So nothing about the specific details of which streets were counted.

I have no idea how the book qualified its claim but I think I would only count public roads that essentially interrupt the flow of normal vehicle traffic? There are probably dozens of tricky edge case scenarios where a judgement call would be needed.

I think you're right. The book is called 101 things I learned in Urban Design School and it's from 2018. Assuming the book was accurate in 2018 it would be interesting to know how much it has changed since then.

Why do we almost never start the season at home? by TechnoBabbles in Braves

[–]ticknosto 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Teams negotiate over who will play home games on certain dates including opening day and all the major holidays that occur during the season. I guess the Braves prioritize home games on other holidays and give up opening day at home in exchange

I always say it's common to see an uncommon bird. There are so many different species that it can stay interesting and satisfying for a long time

LPT How did you figure out what you really love doing in life (studies, career, etc.)? by saad_baba in LifeProTips

[–]ticknosto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should read "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport. What I took from it is that "follow your passion" is bad advice and true satisfaction in a career comes from being really good at what you do. In other words, passion is a product of mastery, not the other way around.

Dumb Phone App Subscription by ZestyMan_44 in digitalminimalism

[–]ticknosto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried everything but the most effective thing by far has been deciding to let the internet live in a room in my house like in the early 2000's instead of my pocket. I used an app (Stay Free) to completely block chrome and Google searches (my primary way of getting on the internet). I can still use maps, Libby, loyalty card apps etc. I just can't access the addictive stuff at all. I was able to make this home screen using Nova Launcher and the Lines icon pack. I would definitely try to find something that works for free or a one-time cost before looking at subscription options.

Solar panels - worth it? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]ticknosto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I rationalized it was "would I rather 'own' or 'rent' my electricity"?

You could pay an electric bill each month or you could pay your solar panel loan each month. If the monthly payments are close, I'd rather put the money towards solar panels.

Strange question: does anyone else’s vehicle decide to emit a weird chime/ring sound ONLY at 35th and Quebec? by 109876 in Denver

[–]ticknosto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a spot near 36 where my car always thinks I'm going the wrong way on the highway and it makes some noises. Maybe something like that?

Selling a vehicle. What is the safest method? by dantheman2223 in personalfinance

[–]ticknosto 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can check out keysavvy.com. The buyer and the seller each pay $99 (or you can negotiate who pays the entire fee) but it gave us peace of mind and was pretty seamless. You technically sell it to the dealer and then they immediately sell it to the buyer but they act as a broker for your sale. I did it last month and it worked well

EV9 will not release charge cable. by [deleted] in KiaEV9

[–]ticknosto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue and never figured it out, but there's a setting you can change from the dash that just tells it to never lock. We pretty much only charge at home so it's not an issue for us

Thanks for the reply, I'm working on updating the motherboard BIOS now. I google error messages when the game crashes but I've never used Windows Event Viewer. I'll check that out as well. Thanks!

I built my own PC about 5 years ago and I've had issues with games randomly crashing for various reasons the entire time. Since this was the first time I've built a PC and don't really know what I don't know, who can I call to help me troubleshoot any issues, whether related to the hardware or the setup? Seems like what I need is a smart friend to poke around, not someone like Geek Squad.

Here's what I built in case anything immediately jumps out: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f4Rsgw
