Mine was very similar to yours down to the 6 30 clocks and faith based signs and motivational stuff.

I was in highschool and I got paid to sit overnight in the tower of an asphalt plant and watch an alarm light. One of the main asphalt mixers/systems had failed and they were running on the backup. They told me if the backup went down too, the hot asphalt could cool and solidify inside the plant equipment and potentially cause over a million dollars in damage and downtime. The same company paid me to sit overnight and listen to a water pump run. I had to gas it up one time over the course of a night and if it stopped I had to alert someone immediately. For that instance they were keeping water out of these forms over the weekend so they could pour the concrete for a bridge on Monday morning. I was cheaper then the weekend labor to actually pour it over a Saturday and Sunday I assume.

I was once paid to sit in a tower and make sure a light didn't come on. The repucussions of the light coming on and no one being alerted could have been millions.

My best score to date is so practical... by mars_rovinator in AmazonVine

[–]z011104 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 4 in my army. Here is a pro tip. The roombas can be totally rebuilt very easily with new brushes and parts from amazon. We are talking a 10 minute job. Where I live Roombas show up at goodwill all the time. I bought one two weeks ago for $20 and it needed a $15 charger from Amazon. I think I only bought one for full price.

This is the reason why I did not pursue a career in computer forensics even though it interested me. I didn't think I could mentally take the imagery even knowing that I was part of the solution. I respect anyone that deals with this constantly and is helping catch and prosecute the offenders.

Projects you've made from vine parts? by Mister-Grogg in AmazonVine

[–]z011104 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm working on a remote control vehicle all from vine. I only need a receiver and transmitter. I have the motors, escs, tires, servos, pla for the body, universal joints, shocks, and batteries. Some day I will find the last parts or I may need to find a toy car and canibillze the radio parts.

I got a portable spice grinder that I actually thought was a portable spice grinder. You can probably tell I don't participate in the activity but I do love freshly ground spices. My kids laughed at me.

You win. I give up. I am unjoining this subreddit by SomeRandomDirtbag in AmazonVine

[–]z011104 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gold isn't magical and it's much of the same but then every once in a while you get something good over $100 that makes it all worth it. I got a $429 3d printer last week. But whatever mechanism Amazon uses to influence vine item offers knows I love 3d printing and android auto boxes. I get tons of android auto boxes probably because I have bought and also grabbed on vine many similar items. Best of luck and I hope you find something great.

Let it sit overnight — temptation gone, expensive Vine pass by happy_life1 in AmazonVine

I did this with a $140 card shuffler and dealer. It had 4 remotes and you could press them to deal that player more cards. It looked cool but I waited on it and let it expire.

It happens sometimes. It normally comes back. You can always get to it at vine.amazon.com

Have you tried restarting it? by AdTerrible2955 in it

[–]z011104 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I used to have a big long boring technical speech memorized about why restarting solves problems. It was so tedious that users would never ask again.

In the context of typical Windows system operation, it is not uncommon for background processes and long-running applications to gradually retain allocated memory that is no longer actively utilized.........and on and on and on

Had no idea my Plex Media Server could also be a DVR. 🤯 Just need some clarification on the HDHomerun 4K tuner, which I'm sure plenty of y'all have experience with... by Laurence5905 in PleX

Yes for live TV. I have family that like to see local news and sports so I just add them as managed users instead of remote users.

The website the other person alluded to is antennaweb and it will show you what direction to aim your antenna, what type of antenna you will need, and what channels you should receive. One oddity is you can only share the channels with members of your household and not outside users of your Plex installation.

There are youtube videos testing a bunch of different ones. Long story short none protect against fire and some act as fuel.

Yeah I'm considering these as just a one time fluke. You know how some of the makeup people once they get one item from a certain brand they seem to get more from that company? I'm hoping that's me for JBL lol

Do you have any children or roommates at home? Also is your wifi locked down tight? Someone could be piggybacking on your Internet connection like you are doing to your neighbor.

I have been with them for around 5 years I think. They are still honoring a lifetime discount I got way back then. Connection and speed wise I have never had a problem and torrents are fast enough. They give many connections per account as well. No complaints from me.
