This reminds me that I am stuck on Dev is You, level 19! Probably been stuck for a couple of years now. Now I need to go and try again.

Looney Tunes - Back in Action for the PlayStation 2. There is this jump that Daffy has to do between two pillars that is driving me crazy. The two pillars have buttons on them that Bugs and Daffy have to stand on to open a door. Getting to the top of the pillars is pretty easy now, but takes some amount of time and you have to fight with the camera. When Daffy makes contact with the second pillar he always jumps off because I don’t stop his “flight” in time.
Sounds like fun, but I refuse to call them toots!
We have one boy and it didn’t really change our life that much. Some time running him to activities and overseeing homework and such, but our hobbies and friends didn’t change.
Not everyone who has kids ends up feeling this way though :(
Milk Shakes at just about any fast food restaurants. The machines always seem to be down! Pulled up to an Arby’s a few months back to order a Jamoca shake and they said their machine was down. I asked them if I had pulled into the McDonald’s drive through by mistake. We all had a big laugh… but that was months ago and they have now put a sticker on the menu that says their shakes are not currently available :(
Went to a Baskin Robins to order a Chocolate Milk shake and they were out of Chocolate ice cream… on multiple occasions. At least they don’t have a machine to break down!
I run just one Windows machine with some VMs for various services if needed. Less to maintain and have to tinker with.
I installed cable in a couple of apartments I rented. I just made it look professional and nothing was ever said about it. In one apartment town home I even had access to the attic and was able to run cable in the walls. I did have to drill through the floor and door headers in some instances, but it can be done.
I still use Dia Diagram Editor for most things. I just wish it was still being updated.
You could try gluing it and clamping but it looks like getting a clamp on it might be hard and I have not had good luck gluing veneer that is peeling away like that. That is cheap and easy to try so I would start there though. Some of the other suggestions to repair it are good as well. I will throw out another, buy a sheet of veneer and cut out a square an inch or so larger than the area that needs to be repaired. Lay the square over the area to be repaired and cut out the bad area in the shape of the repair piece, then glue the repair piece in, a little wood putty and sanding to match might do the trick.
Depending on where it is peeling away, you might try putting on small decorative trim pieces stained or painted in a complementing color. I did this all along the underside of our countertop as decoration and to make some new cabinets blend in with older existing ones.
I have “professional” drywall in my house that doesn’t look that good. Take it as the learning experience it is and rest assured that most people won’t notice it.
I put on an old pair of coveralls, gloves, hat, hood, respirator, old shoes, goggles. I covered the doorway to the room with plastic and setup a fan for ventilation and pre-heated the bottles. Even with all that I was miserable. I was hot and sweaty, had trouble breathing, and couldn’t see out of the goggles. My arms were tired and the foam mixture wasn’t always mixing properly and ended up wasting a lot of the mixture. It was still pretty expensive and time consuming… not sure I would do it again.
I thought ridge vents were all the rage these days. I installed ridge vents and then put up Reflectix Reflective Roll Insulation from the soffits up to 12-18 inches from the ridge. It reduced the heat in the attic by a noticeable amount and wasn’t too expensive or difficult to install. I also blew in additional insulation. I plan on adding additional venting in the soffits in the future. My experience is that fans fail, require maintenance, use energy, and tend to only cool the attic off in certain areas if not well planned out with supporting architecture and venting.
I honestly don’t understand why so many people use Chrome when there are so many options!
I like it, it shows someone put some effort into it!
I have a list of of interesting characters, but sticking to pure “fantasy or folklore” I will go with Aasimar.
I have two IoTaWatts (https://iotawatt.com/) for all the circuits in my home. I also use Z-Wave and Zigbee devices to monitor individual plugs (I love these). I send data from all of this to an InfluxDB database and then into Grafana for displaying pretty graphs. Everything is running on my Windows desktop. The IoTaWatt doesn’t require internet access to work. I have been very happy with the setup and once setup it hasn’t required much maintenance.
The system is also good for recording temperatures, solar power information, and anything else that can make an API call. Not sure why your Z-Wave is falling off the network, for that I use a Hubitat and mostly Inovelli, Zooz, and THIRDREALITY ZigBee plugs.
Out the side will be much better than through the roof as long as you don’t place it too close and directly under a soffit air intake.
Crazy idea, but if you can’t get the bandwidth to support a media server like Jellyfin or Emby where you live, what about placing a server at a trusted relatives or friends house that does have access to high bandwidth? You might need/want to help offset a better internet plan for them though. You could then setup a VPN connection to be able to manage the server remotely and sync files and media to it. You could even use it for off site backup.
Very nice! Though it looks like your micro inverters are mounted right where water would be coming through, looks like they would be easy to relocate though. It is possible to use a combination of t-molding on the top along with caulk between the panels to reduce water penetration cheaply and easily, while not being 100% water tight it gets pretty close.
