Does no one remember how sarcastic this man is?

Curious what your issues with glusencamp-perez are? I don’t live in her district, but seems like she represents her constituents fairly well for how politically split the district is…but again I’m not necessarily in the know.

It’s an awesome place. Come join us.

Yeah. Actually confused me for a minute and I had to go dig into all the different communities on mander.

I think it makes sense to change the display name.

Well…it can be an long conversation but the TL;DR is there were several space communities and it will help lemmy grow to consolidate. Mander was chosen because they are science focused and LW holds ~40% of all lemmy users. To avoid one community from dominating lemmy we need to spread the usage to multiple instances.

Seems like you’re on the west coast (USA). Me too.

I’m hoping I get to duck out for a bit and take it all in after bedtime and chores. I won’t be able to pull out a telescope tonight, but sometimes binoculars surprise me.

Where are you located? How harsh of winters do you get? How wet is your spring?

I’ve always been interested in doing this. Winters are fairly mild here in my part of the PNW, but have doubts that I wouldn’t just have a mud pit in the fall/spring.

Ooooo. That’s fun.

Got any pictures of the wintertime? Curious what it looks like then.

Whoa. What? Having gas appliances increases insurance? I’ve never been asked if my home has gas appliances by an insurance company.

I was waiting for this to be busted out reading down that comment chain. Surprised it took so long.

I’m open to the idea, but these articles bring out some of the highest levels of engagement, discussion and often bring in new readers.

Start reporting them when you see them.

How many subscribers do you have?

Nice. I might copy your idea.

Wild stuff!

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this as my desktop background this morning.

Don’t know. Saw it on my feed.

There’s only a few posters and essentially no comments. So I’d imagine it’s people who work for the major multinational corp. Also, a few years ago, Intel had a cult following of gamers…

Do you think deepseek is “on top”?

I actually just repleace mine. I found that it was actually getting pretty slow at browsing the web. Websites have so much garbage code running on them these days. Funny that the new Samsung phones have the same amount of RAM and storage.

Also, the security updates thing was getting to me. I have way to much banking info exposed on my phone to keep using it out of security update window.

My understanding is that post NEC 2023 tandem breakers will not meet code. Yes, you can still buy them and yes I could put them in without people knowing…but that’s not the way I do upgrades. You can still buy quad breakers but I don’t think those ever met code.

Thanks for the info. I likely could be fine with a 20a/240v circuit…but i don’t even have that available currently. I’ll do some more research on the tandem breakers.

I see you didn’t really read what I wrote and are just talking about running a new circuit. That is one of the 3 upgrades I need.

A panel upgrade is not a small operation and I highly doubt anyone could do it in under an hour. A panel upgrade consists of removing all breakers from the panel, disconnecting all wires, disconnecting all conduits from the panel pulling all wires out of the panel, (in my case enlarging the hole in the wall for the new panel), reinserting all wires, attaching conduit, redoing internal panel wiring, and putting breakers back in.

I’ve done plenty of basic electrical work. Electrical work is not complex, it just takes the knowledge of what is to code and if there are specialty codes for the state, county and/or city. I do not have time to study all the code and plan the upgrade.

Future proofing upgrades is very much in my interest. If I have to touch something or upgrade something…its going to be overdesigned/overbuilt because I don’t ever want to have to touch it again.
