re: Auburn, Alabama, require vaccination all employees.

Posted by Dirtman16 on 10/23/21 at 7:29 pm

I am very pro vaccine due to the overwhelming science that it is effective in reducing transmission and death/hospitalization as an outcome, but this thread shows why I am not pro mandate. It just works to force anti-vax folks ever further from getting it voluntarily. I am also sympathetic to the...

re: weather station suggestions

Posted by Dirtman16 on 12/13/19 at 12:42 pm

I've had a Davis Vantage Vue for years, but the instrument cluster is finally starting to give out. I'm probably gonna move to an Ambient station because you can upload to Weather Underground more easily. Davis is kind of in the stone age for getting info from the base station to the Internet. If...

Think it's probably a bit over priced in the short term. But I also have a model 3 and am hyped about an electric car future. It's been awesome. Too bad about the Cybertruck looks though. That's gonna be a hard sale to truck owners....

I agree that 10% is a reasonable number, but there are a lot of variables. More importantly, it should increase your upper bound of salary in the future. You'll cap out a good bit higher if you're stamping a lot of drawings....

Posted by Dirtman16 on 4/24/19 at 6:23 pm

I have this setup and find smart switches with dumb bulbs to be the best combo, plus a few hue light strips. Routines on the Google Home work well to turn on and off things at bedtime and in the morning. I also have Ecobee thermostats tired into the setup so you could adjust temp by voice as ...

Posted by Dirtman16 on 3/26/18 at 3:10 pm

[quote]No known reason or fix[/quote] While I sympathize with your situation, there's no way this is true. There is a reason, and likely a fix. 1) Do you have a very old and inefficient A/C unit or units? Is the refrigerant low? 2) Do you have insufficient insulation in the attic or in walls...

re: Recommend wireless router for 1GB speeds

Posted by Dirtman16 on 3/19/18 at 4:48 pm

You're going to be very lucky to actually get 1GB at any wireless receiver. The signal is only that good right out of the router. That said, even 50mbps is plenty for psvue streaming. I'd recommend one of the newer mesh network systems (have Google WiFi myself) as they give you a more consistent ...

re: Home Office: Dual or Single Monitor Setup?

Posted by Dirtman16 on 1/24/18 at 2:07 pm

Two screens is the way to go. I like it a little more than 1 huge screen because you get more resolution. Also, if you do a lot of portrait document work, I would say to stay way from the ultra wide screen. The old 4:3 or 16:10 aspect ratio is better for that kind of stuff in my opinion....
