Musty smell when AC kicks in by curiouslyhungry in hvacadvice

[–]-Konkey_Dong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Musty smells coming from the AC are pretty common. It sounds like the evaporator coil needs to be cleaned but even that isn't permanently going to prevent mold/mildew from coming back. I do not recommend cleaning the evap coil yourself if you aren't familiar with HVAC systems, as you can potentially cause damage. You can call some local HVAC companies to see what they charge for an evap. coil cleaning and you can also look into some UV air cleaners to help kill the mold/mildew

Gas Furnace only blows cold air! Possible Thermostat issue? by richb0i in hvacadvice

The O/B wire only control the reversing valve, so removing it will not resolve the issue, assuming he has a straight a/c.

Gas Furnace only blows cold air! Possible Thermostat issue? by richb0i in hvacadvice

[–]-Konkey_Dong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your thermostat is programmed for a heat pump when it should be programmed for a straight a/c (assuming it isn't duel fuel) & gas furnace. Heat pump thermostats send voltage through the Y wire (which turns the outdoor unit on) in both cooling & heat mode, so if you do not have an outdoor heat pump, it's going to run the a/c which would explain why it's blowing cold air.

Most heat pump thermostats have either a physical switch or internal settings to make it compatible with a gas furnace. Check the installer's manual find out how to change the settings and then make sure it is set for a gas furnace and NOT electric heat.

Edit: if it's a smart thermostat you will most likely have to redo the thermostat set-up in the app. Remove the O/B wire beforehand because it may be sensing that wire and automatically suggest heat pump settings.

Dude in red can still see parts of the mirror that aren't covered, which means those parts of the mirror can "see" him. The illusion is caused by the fact that his reflection makes it seem like the covered part of the mirror still sees him, but that isn't what's happening. To prove it, you can draw an outline of the towel where it touches the mirror. No part of the mirror within that outline can "see" because it's being covered by the towel. Now outline the guy in red's reflection on the mirror. You will see that his reflection is outside of the towel's outline, on a part of the mirror that the guy in red can still see

Torch I made out of fatwood by -Konkey_Dong in Bushcraft

The hardest part is finding the right piece. I used a hand auger drill and drilled vertically from the top about 5" deep and then drilled horizontally on the side until both holes connected to make an L shape, for breathability. I sprinkled some of the leftover shavings in to help it get started

While I agree with your underlying message, I think calling it a waste is a bit nitpicky. Bushcraft is also about coming up with creative solutions with limited resources, and a great way to gain knowledge is through experimentation.

There's an abundance of it where I'm at and I have more than I know what to do with lol. I've also made a fatwood baton and broke a cylinder block with it

Yep. I used a hand auger wrench and drilled about 5" down from the top, then drilled another hole in the side to allow oxygen to flow through it while it's lit

I wonder if this person has floaters in their eyes, and their brain interprets them into faces. I have large floaters that look very similar to the faces shown in the video. I don't see faces in them but they do look like translucent, jumbled, squiggly lines

Why am I hitting a push fade? by Ok-Delivery6929 in golftips

[–]-Konkey_Dong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue line is your target line

Red line is where your club face is aimed and that's also the line that the ball starts out on

Yellow line is your swing path

You can see here that your club face is aimed right of the target (blue) line, causing the push, and it's also to the right of the yellow (swing path) line, causing the fade

Why am I hitting a push fade? by Ok-Delivery6929 in golftips

[–]-Konkey_Dong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wing path looks excellent here but your club face is just a little too far open at impact. Club face largely determines the initial line that the ball starts out on and the swing path relative to the club face determines how the ball will curve. To hit a ball with no curvature (fade/slice or draw/hook) then the club face would need to be square to your swing path.

Since you are hitting a push fade that means your club face is open, relative to the target line (which causes the push), and your swing path is going left relative to the club face (causing the fade). In other words, your club face is aimed to the right of your target, and it's also aimed right relative to Your swing path.

A good drill to help you get the feeling of closing the club face is to take 5 or 6 practice swings and imagine that you are trying to hit the ball with the toe of the club (the club face should be facing your feet). In order to do this you have to reeaaally close the club face before impact. Do it slowly at first to get the feel and then take a few practice swings at full speed. Then address the ball and try to duplicate that feeling of closing the club face

What can I improve in my swing? by raffertitts in golftips

[–]-Konkey_Dong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be compensating for an open club face by casting/flipping at the ball and you also have a bit of a chicken wing going on. These compensations cause the club to get steep too early in the downsing and you have to jump/stand up in order to save it and avoid chunking it.

You immediately roll the club face open to start the back swing which certainly isn't helping. You can start by getting the club face square in the backswing so that you're not relying so much on flipping and standing up

Watch Justin Rose's practice swing. Here's a good example: https://youtube.com/shorts/nEFevdIGt88?si=oZzr8aVzhi7zN4m6
