They don’t call me the gate hanger

They don’t call me the wall builder

They don’t call me the tower constructor

“whatever you do don’t forget to check the big tab is on the left and the little tab is on the right, even if you get it backwards it won’t close as a safety precaution.”

Gets call of machine not working in another country, sends out consultant.

Big tab is on the right, little tab is on the left and the entire tray has been forced into position because “it wasn’t closing properly so we had to apply a lot of force”

Professionals with confidence are the absolute worst, I tell ever consultant or technician that comes into my lab “I’ll be in the corner if you need me to grab you any supplies or coffee, do you mind if I ask questions as you go so I can have a better understanding of what’s going on with this magical box”. I like to think they appreciate me.

Sure is nice having such warm water ports like we do

It’s probably as good as it’ll ever be again. Maybe it’s not, maybe you’ve got a little bit of up in you before it goes down further, but the trend is downwards. Enjoy your moment!! Live guilt free, and try to make everyone around you just a little bit better by not making it any worse for them. And if, in that process, people are actively telling you you’re making it worse, fuck them, find better people to surround yourself with.

I’m just being pedantic here, but an intercom system expands anywhere there’s networking, requires fewer wires, and lower voltage (will even work without power, not very well, but it will)

Did you run the line under ground or through conduit? Disconnect it from both sides, attach string/fishing line to one side, pull cable out of conduit on the side without the string attached. Detach string from either meet cable, reattach string with Ethernet cable and the additional cable (speaker cable in this case), pull string from the original side until both cables make their appearance.

Outside of walkie talkies (have you considered walkie talkie? Maybe put an antenna outside of the shop?) this is the simplest way to do it (imo, but I don’t play with raspberry pi’s)

It’s literally speaker wire, or you could clip the ends of your Ethernet and use those (but you probably want your Ethernet out there still XD. One side will be to be run to power, but it’ll power the rest of the stations through the wire.

I feel like this is definitely what you’re looking for, no computers required.

From Amazon, I found “IS543 5/4/3 WIRE INTERCOM STAT-PLAST”

It’s similar to what we had growing up, 1 in the shed, 1 in the kitchen 1 in the game room, push the button of the location you wanted to talk to, only 1 direction of communication at a time, over.

I feel like you’re making it way more complicated than it needs to be, why would you involve a switch or processor when you’re just carrying sound waves? You don’t even need a modulator, it just needs to connect a microphone to a speaker like cans on a string. Is it the highest quality? No, will it record your conversation for posterity? Also no. Will it let you tell at someone to get their asses in for dinner, absolutely

You’ve already run wires, why not a microphone and speaker system?

Bwahaha

I’m not good with faces, but that’s Hugh Laurie correct? I enjoy his stuff, can anyone clue me into what this is from?

It’s not house nor Bertie Wooster

I wonder if they didn’t block the bot that approves content…

Haha, moderator approval on Reddit.

Oh no. a game I haven’t heard of isn’t going to play nicely on the deck, I guess I’ll go back to my mountain of compatible games…

Sounds like it has forced multiplayer components always /yuck

You don’t have to be the most private, just don’t draw the most attention…

Big data is an unfortunate cost of society.

It’s running for fire chief

Nah, that’s not creepy, that’s just psycho wanking

I would like to add the criminally overlooked “Zorro; the Gayblade”. Please find this (I last saw it on the Internet archives) and treat yourself to one of the best Zorro adaptations of the last century.

What about a steam deck?

David, stop worrying so much David.

I started with 3 minutes XD
