Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Very valid question, but honestly I hardly think it matters much in this context. It highlights people's patterns, and apparently humans are the worst to ask for random numbers.

On a side note, what's up with the hotspot at 5049?

Hmm, it seems you're probably right Last night I tried lining it up with a random toothpick on the table in front of me LOL!

I tried again using the edge of a sheet of paper, and yeah it does seem more like it's 5150.

Whatever. Still, what's up with that?

Eddie Van Halen used a guitar amp called the Peavey 5150. I imagine it's that.

I believe there's a Dierks Bently song about this too, 5-1-5-0

It's definitely this. Source: I know at least 2 people who are really in to rock, and use 5150 as their PIN.
