OpenTheSeaLegs,

Well, the Rozelle interchange was never intended to improve traffic for the surrounding suburbs. It’s meant as an addition to the M4-M8 so they can connect to the northern side of the bay.

It works as designed™

Any “fix” they claim to do is an attempt to calm the public.

Anecdotally, when i drive the WCX to work it saves me an hour each way, but it is always empty

OpenTheSeaLegs,

This year I discovered the Elderling Saga, by Robin Hobb. Starts with the Farseer Trilogy, Assassin’s Apprentice. Great epic fantasy.

As for sci-fi Isaac Asimov’s Foundation is great.

Neuromancer is also a great read, and one of the earliest examples of cyberpunk.

Since you asked for a single book, and you might not be keen on jumping into multi-book sagas, I’d say go for Neuromancer

Looking for a new dry herb

I have a pax3 that is starting to show it’s age. The battery is not holding it’s charge that well and I’m sure the tech has improved a lot over the years. I was looking at a crafty or mighty+ but wanted to see if there was something else comparable for a little cheaper. I would like to keep it under 300, but can spend some...

OpenTheSeaLegs,

My crafty is the second vape I’ve ever had, and I’m hoping for it to be my last.

I bought if for how easy it is to clean, and since then I’ve started to respect Storz’ products. Great quality and engineering

OpenTheSeaLegs,

Thanks for all the info!

At the time, I wasn’t sure why i bought OpenWRT compatible router, only that the community seemed to love it. Now I’m glad I got it!

Time to get OpenWRT working!

OpenTheSeaLegs,

I do tend to overcomplicate things 😆

It seems, based on your comments and others in the post, that my next step is to flash OpenWRT and do a deep dive on its firewall functions. Thanks for taking the time to educate me!

Do both sides of a transformer need to be fused?

I work on equipment that runs off 3 phase 208V but it uses uses a transformer to drop it down to 120V for most of the controls. On this equipment I noticed that there are two fuses on the lines exclusively feeding the 208V side of the transformer and a fuse directly off of the hot side on the 120V side of the transformer....

OpenTheSeaLegs,

My Electromagnetics is a bit rusty, apply a healthy measure of skepticism:

I’d say the two fuses are there to protect the transformer itself.

In the example you use, the upstream of the transformer would be protected by the 280V fuses but the transformer itself will have to suffer the overcurrent, and could be damaged by it. If the transformer is dipped in cooling oil, the overcurrent could even lead to an explosion.

As for the TUV inspection, the two fuses would be desirable for any TUV cert, and they would be required if there is any chance of explosion.

More things like Star Trek?

Over the last few years my family and I have binged all of Star Trek, then moved on to Star Trek adjacent shows like The Orville and Stargate. At the moment we’re not really watching anything sci-fi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for similar shows (or maybe some books) that fill the void left by Star Trek. In...

OpenTheSeaLegs,

We just watched Scavenger’s Reign, If exploration is your thing. Not much diplomacy there tho

OpenTheSeaLegs,

Yes, those were exactly my thoughts! The animations allow you to create all manner of creatures & environments that would be pretty hard to do otherwise

OpenTheSeaLegs,

I’ve got the gulikit pro and its the best controller I’ve ever had! I specially like how I can quickly swap A-B buttons on the fly. 3 others of my group also have it

Why are we so concerned with oxygen production yet we never hear about nitrogen production, though we actually need 78% nitrogen vs 21% oxygen to survive?

Excess oxygen is actually harmful to humans, but all the climate warnings are about losing oxygen, not nitrogen edit: but when we look for habitable planets, our focus is ‘oxygen rich atmosphere’, not ‘nitrogen rich’, and in medical settings, we’re always concerned about low oxygen, not nitrogen....

OpenTheSeaLegs,

When scuba diving recreationaly, Nitrox tanks actually have higher concentrations of oxygen, leaving less “space” for nitrogen and other gases.

Normal air tanks are filled at 21% oxygen. A nitrox tank will have more than 21%. The ones I use have 32% oxygen, wich helps when being at depths between ~20m and ~40m

I know that technical divers do use other gas concentrations, and they even change the nitrogen in the tanks for other inert gasses. But I’ve no idea of which gasses they use.

Looking for book and information source recommendations.

Howdy y’all! I am diving extremely deep into mycology and am on a quest to catch up on all modern research on the subject. I recently discovered 21st Century Guidebook to Fungi (Free from the authors!! …org.uk/21st_century_guidebook_to_fungi_platinum/) but I need MORE! I’ll list out some conditions and wants to see if that...

OpenTheSeaLegs,

Radical Mycology by Peter McCoy.

I doesn’t have much on genetics, and some chapters are dubious. But great book overall

OpenTheSeaLegs,

I occasionally enjoy them when I’m between games, and I know I will not have the time or energy to start a new, more involved game.

I see these kind of games as a different medium to tell a story and, if done well, the controls can be a part of the storytelling. The Last of Us is a great example of using controls for this.

As to why not whatch a movie? I cannot sit in front of a screen passively anymore. If I’m with my partner, we can sit together and watch something, otherwise, I want to interact with the screen, even if it’s only by walking.

OpenTheSeaLegs,

I’ve been a subscriber for 4 years now, I find it interesting and relevant, and they don’t seem to have favorites amongst the political parties. They are mostly politics focused tho.
