went to Michaels to buy a large(r) piece of acrylic for a shadow box I'm making. I needed a 31x38 piece of non-glare acrylic. After the "sale" discounts (when is something not on "sale" at Michaels?) it came out to $195.00 for the piece of acrylic.
There has to be a cheaper/better source... right? I just can't justify that for the piece I'm trying to frame.
Cost to add push button start?
I have a Hybrid 2024 XLT and I desperately miss the push button start and to some extent keyless entry. Not to mention, I really hate the switchblade key fob. What's it cost to add after market? And do the after market kits work well?
Do you take your truck with tonneau cover through car wash?
I have a roll-up tonneau cover and I'm not quite sure if that's safe to take through a car wash. I've done it a couple times but the dryer guns really rattle the fabric. Not sure if I'm going to get it or not.
24hr lock on failed credentials?
We have a client that is requiring a 24hr lock on accounts after 3 failed attempts. Has anyone ever seen or dealt with anything like this before?
​
Among other things, we're finding that people that are working from home or traveling end up locking their account when trying to log into their laptop and then they are stuck for 24hrs because the policy is on the laptop. Their only option at that point is to come into the office, connect to the network and then we're able to get them logged in. Obviously that's a problem.
​
Is 24hrs a crazy amount of time or is that just me? We were 15 mins forever and life was great. We've switched to 24hrs and so many issues...
EDIT: I made the executive decision to kibosh the policy and revert it to 15 min unlock. Told our CEO and Internal Auditor/Compliance Manager that if the client had a problem with it, I'll talk to them.
Thank you for participating in my straw poll and reassuring me I wasn't crazy (about this).
wristband distribution question
so, show when the show is announced, everyone mad rushes to the venue and gets into line. Eventually they start handing out wristbands, and once you have a wristband you can leave and return before the show starts.
my question is how long do they wait to start handing out wristbands? Say, if the posters go up around 10am, and people start lining up, do they just start handing out as soon as the first person gets there? Or wait until 1pm or something?
Truck stuff
Had to Google the load capacity and so some calculations. This is about half of what we were getting, so headed back tomorrow.
Amazingly, still got 40+ mpg 2024 Hybrid
Proper cleaning and retaining process?
- title should say "restaining"
I built this small deck a few years back and it's time to clean and restain but wanted to get the experts' advice as to the best method, materials etc.
It's cedar tone PT wood that was originally finished in a semi transparent cedar finish. What's my best cleaner to use? What's my best stain?
No real mold or significant staining (a few spots here and there). Just general wear and tear that needs to be shined up again
Thanks for any advice.
