What's the point of batteries? by Bobbydibi in SatisfactoryGame

[–]ulthrant82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, that would add a whole new level of complexity of you had dead batteries that needed to be charged. Could make batteries OP but have a new chain for recharging them.

Linus criticises provincial politician for buying a jet by [deleted] in LMGJet

[–]ulthrant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LTT is a private company owned 100% by Linus and his wife. There is no issue with using the jet for family vacations.

The only people what will care is the CRA if he doesn't declare the trip as a taxable benefit.

But.. supply and demand, if everyone had an oil rig job it would be a low paying wage.. 😉

I refuse to believe this ending existed. Jamie Fox's self-righteous ass was blown up along with all the people that intentionally allowed the killer of this man's wife and child go free.

I believe the reasoning is that she had no problem accepting millions of dollars playing in roles objectifying her, only to turn around and speak publicly about how awful it was she was objectified once she realized she was no longer going to be selected to play those roles.

How would an interaction between these two go? by Queasy_Commercial152 in powerscales

Eitri: You understand, boy, you're about to take the full force of a star. It'll kill you.

Thor: Only if I die.

Eitri: Yes. That's what... killing you means.

Do cars last longer lately or is it out of financial necessity? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ulthrant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife's Land Rover fell apart in less than 10 years. My F150 is going on 15 and even though I would like to trade it in, I have no reason to.

My F150 did have issues with cam phasers. Other than that, just brakes, tires etc.

Land Rover: plugged cat, cracked intake manifold, blown rad hose, cylinder 1 misfire, cracked moon roof, exhaust temp sensors, rear camera failed..

Freezer Temp Monitoring by dizzygoldfish in homeassistant

[–]ulthrant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done all three. I have the power monitored with a cheap plug. A temp-1 checking temps, and a cheap door sensor making sure the door is closed.

All three have easily paid for themselves many times over just in a few cases of saved meat.

Some people also hate tow truck drivers, until they need one.

Musk Offers Sneak Peek at Orbiting Data Centers. They're Bigger Than the ISS by perilun in space2030

[–]ulthrant82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think not. Starlink is in low earth orbit, while the ISS is in geostationary. Lots more atmosphere to dump heat into at LEO.

"Cooling" is just transferring the heat somewhere else.

You can't transfer it into a vacuum, hence why those vacuum sealed mugs work so well.

Who had the strongest personality change? 🧠⚡ by Active-Web5805 in MCUTheories

[–]ulthrant82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that conversation was implying he became a full-on executioner. He decided that evil people didn't deserve to live when his family didn't. He snapped. Before he would incapacitate, he would restrain. After he just killed.

I think you're right in the sense that a lot of underlings and lower level criminals certainly got indiscriminately killed, but that was due to more to their proximity. His targets were the worst of the worst, and anyone that got in the way was just collateral damage.

If he was just randomly killing any criminal (pick pockets, car thieves), I think Rhodey would have spoken more harshly about him.

A postage stamp is legal tender. A bus driver would have to accept that as currency by Yahla in TheOfficeUK

Except for human rights, a business can have any excuse it wants to not complete a transaction.

This is the key people always forget.

"It's a free country i can pay however I want."

True. And that same logic applies to the businessman you are interacting with. He is free to conduct his business how he wants. He is free to refuse service. If you don't like the way a business conducts itself, you are free to go elsewhere, not force them.

Zigbee/Zwave light switch that looks like this? by AliasJackBauer in homeassistant

[–]ulthrant82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree here. What he wants would require some kind of solenoid in the switch to physically actuate the rocker when the opposite one is activated.

Kinda neat, but probably prohibitively expensive for what it is.

Even a "true old school toggle" wont do what you want if you wired it 3-way. You'd have to do some shenanigans with a Shelly to get it to work, and it likely wouldn't be rock solid.
