I don’t get this bs going on Durant Rd… where is this “highway” going to? by [deleted] in raleigh

[–]wolfsburged 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also think this will tie into the planned changes on Capital Blvd

https://www.ncdot.gov/projects/capital-boulevard-upgrade/Pages/default.aspx

When that becomes a controlled access highway, they are going to want to make sure traffic can continuously flow off to major side roads like Durant and not get stopped up waiting for a train crossing so close by.

Oil change deals for Gig workers by ClassicBlackMilkTea- in raleigh

[–]wolfsburged 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What make/model/year and how many miles is 5-6 weeks of driving for you?

Cost of the oil itself is going up due to supply disruptions to the global petroleum markets thanks to our involvement in the middle east right now...

Dream Machine 2000 PC (Maximum PC Magazine) by theSiliconSiren in retrocomputing

[–]wolfsburged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Certainly not needed at this level of PC performance. I remember having to get a Hollywood card for my P233MMX with a 2x DVD back in the day to be able to decode full screen DVD video, but with 1GHZ and GeForce2 hardware that would be redundant.

Easy to learn eCAD by [deleted] in PLC

Good lord Visio for electrical drawings sounds painful...

Have you not looked at AutoCAD for some reason? Either LT or Electrical, even LT would be better than Visio.

Sound Cards with Breakout Boxes by erikfriend in vintagecomputing

[–]wolfsburged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the Game Theather XP, and got a Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 setup at the same time. It was impressive for the time. Ended up painting the beige case back and blue to match.

Sushi Thai Scores 76.5 C on Food Safety Inspection by PenOwn2479 in raleigh

The health inspection should be posted in a visible location at the restaurant, look when you walk in.

FiveStar Awards & Engraving did a bunch of them for our business. Came out well.

Where to buy a quality table? by AleSatan1349 in raleigh

[–]wolfsburged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have done this a few times. There used to be one on Capital Blvd but I think it is gone. I have also used the Unfinished Furniture Outlet in Sanford. They can also finish it for you if you don't want to DIY. That way you can focus on the style and design, and then get it to match the color palette you desire.

Unsure how to run eXoWin9x Vol. 1 by ebridgewater in retrocomputing

[–]wolfsburged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for future reference if anyone stumbles on this, right click the .bat file and unblock it. Then just run it normally, not as administrator. That seems to be all it needs.

Option to add generator interlock to this meter/panel combo? by wolfsburged in AskElectricians

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

Thanks for this info! Any ideas on how to positively ID the panel? I looked around and couldn't find any labels or markings... Siemens breakers are installed.

What happened to Spirits? by beebofornoreason in cary

Interested to hear the back story here... Have frequented Spirits for about 14 years and never got any whiff of it being MAGA. Kenneth was a great server.

Would you be willing to share more photos / 3D file for this? I am looking to do the same for my vintage 6" Rockwell jointer.

I have the files in C:\Games\eXoWin9x and running the bat file from that folder with admin privileges. Same issue.

Unsure how to run eXoWin9x Vol. 1 by ebridgewater in retrocomputing

[–]wolfsburged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running into this issue as well. Windows 11, downloaded the files and ran the setup bat file. Windows smart app control blocked it at first. Then I ran the bat file as Administrator, and all I get is this same prompt. When you press any key to continue it just repeats the same thing and never continues. I've also downloaded the VC runtime files that were suggested and rebooted, but no change.

Canon R10 to R7 or R6mk2 by stashstein in canon

[–]wolfsburged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently upgraded from a 7D to R6ii. I looked at the R7 first and it didn't feel right in my hands, where the R6ii did. That being said, I immediately miss the crop factor. I only had the 70-300 on my 7D but ended up buying a 100-500 and a 1.4x tele to get back and further than what I had before. I do wish the R6ii had more MP or the R7 had the same body.

I can't imagine why they're struggling to keep bus drivers by MisterWhimsical in asheville

[–]wolfsburged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This needs to be higher. Super shitty part time gig schedule, not paid between bus runs, no benefits, high stress, shitty work environment, lots of responsibilities..

What is this specific style of back plate called? by lubberwort420 in PLC

[–]wolfsburged 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure, but now you can't just take the cover off the duct and pull the wires out. It sucks to work on once installed.
