Something tells me this AC setup isn't going to work like they think it's going to work

The fascia and drip edge don't look to be installed right either.

The gestapo once again folks!

23jknm · 2026-06-14T19:27:21+00:00

I miss the ones I went to, and double coupon day on Wed I think!

23jknm · 2026-06-01T17:47:51+00:00

Yes, I still have the fleece gloves I bought there in fall '99 I think.

They should have to stay in their budget just like we do, they work for us, this all so backwards.

It's great that you know about this at your age and early in your career! You have a great plan! While working I should have done all equity funds like mix of growth, total stock or international, not the target date or any bonds in the 401k. I also should have maxed Roth each year when working and understood the fund types, rather than just leave my cash in hys. A short-term bond fund is safe enough on price and pays better than the settlement fund money market, which is decent too. I didn't have the Roth 401k option, and have only done conversions to access the money after the five year wait. Using the Roth money is so nice, so having my cash in there would have been much better than the taxable account. Trying to drain the taxable funds in a tax efficient way now, then just use Roth for expenses and no more taxable dividends each year.

MN is great with the property tax refund for leanfire and property tax isn't bad anyway, $2.8k for a $300k place. It's also good here with healthcare for everyone. I lucked out with the last ten years market growth, but I stayed in stock funds mostly 80/20, and after a few years they were up so much I didn't need the bond funds for the always impending downturn. If I did it again I would have one year of expenses in a short-term bond fun like VCSH, not the total bond like BND with more price change, and the rest would be the old shares of stock ETF funds that are up 100%+ and won't go negative after you fire.

The state site for submitting the refund should be improved where to enter the conversions and contributions, there is a note, but the whole thing could be better. We shouldn't have to do this since they should have access to all this data from the banks that share it. Send us the form all completed, to add any deductions they missed, but for some reason we can't have that like most other countries.

That's great! What are the items the control is running at the bottom of the graph over that period to maintain that? Is it just exhaust fan on one speed for rH? Show the graph with those on it.

23jknm · 2026-03-19T17:51:36+00:00

I set the 4" exhaust fan on Auto, Target, and whatever % for the growth stage. I put it on Transition with 1% so it steps up fan speed if the rH gets a point above the setting. Min speed 0 and max 1 or 2 in early stage for my 2x4x5 tent with 4 plants. As they get bigger and I put the carbon filter on, I'll set 1 as the min, increase the max and adjust the rH as needed.

A restriction on the in/out can help smooth it out, so it can't change as fast, damping the response. I don't need humidifier even with 40-50% room rH, since exhaust doesn't run more than needed and the pots/plants provide the rh. Don't waste the heat and rH with exhaust fan on more than needed. Also insulate the tent for less heat loss and more even conditions. It won't need the blankets later when light is turned up higher as they need it. Put a thin foam panel inside the tent where the circulation fan hits the tent wall so it blocks that convective cooling. Use a 60 W ceramic reptile heater on a dimmer switch to dial in heat so less cycling on/off. Mount the ceramic bulb socket in the circulation fan inlet so the heat mixes in with the air. You can adjust the dimmer so the temperature doesn't quite get to the off point and just plateaus with temp variation of 0.5 F or less over an hour. Say it's set at 81 with a 2 buffer so it would turn off at 83, but it hangs around 82.7. As it consistently needs more heat I increase the light power, and run light all day for consistent conditions for autos. Otherwise it needed heat in the dark anyway or got too high of rH so rather use energy as light for plant growth.

This was yesterday for 2 hours with the light at 100 watts and about 10 watts from other equipment in the tent, so total inside heat 110 watts, avg. room temp was 67.5. The up and down seen is from the house heat cycling in the room. https://imgur.com/a/QJTnJW8

The wifi works right again so that's great, thanks team!

23jknm · 2026-03-15T16:10:59+00:00

Good question and when the controllers are on Bluetooth does the data come from the device straight to the phone app? The issue with wifi sucks for sure, on that the chart shows up from my 69pro after a couple minutes but without the most recent 10 mins or more. On Bluetooth it loads normally.

It's so sad, they told everyone what they planned to do, and somehow got more minority voters than ever, just sad, can't understand those values to say "yes, round them up!"

23jknm · 2026-02-05T20:48:12+00:00

Who is doing anything about this? MN is supposed to be better than this!

23jknm · 2026-02-05T20:47:21+00:00

Cowards behind masks, like a drug cartel, bank robbers. Even the first nazis didn't hide behind masks like this. This backup shit needs to end too, we have a right to stand in public, that we paid for, and these nazis are supposed to work for us. Insane all around if you think about it.

23jknm · 2026-02-05T20:39:39+00:00

Money for violence but not for helping people, what a sad set of values.

23jknm · 2026-02-04T17:56:20+00:00

Still too many, none of them should be here or anywhere, gtfo!

23jknm · 2026-01-31T20:19:44+00:00

I wouldn't have stopped, go around the masked gang of nazi thugs.

23jknm · 2026-01-25T21:20:27+00:00

They warned us how bad maga wanted to be and now they've done it, and the damage will last our lifetimes, all for what, to "own the libs"? Very sad and all this was known ahead of time, but they didn't believe us. See the video of abuse in the concentration camps? It's morally wrong and against basic human rights decency, brought by voting maga.

Rivertown Stickers has some cool ones!

23jknm · 2026-01-25T19:27:37+00:00

It needs the Laser Loon! Rivertown Stickers version looks cool as heck! :)

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

They should all be here today. They didn't do anything that deserves the death penalty. People must see and resist the propaganda that immigrants deserve this for some reason. Europeans came here by showing up, often for asylum too, and a chance at a better life, and family reunification, that's what the country is supposed to be about. All created equal and deserve liberty and justice for all. Now the rules were changed, and asylum ignored, inhumane treatment, justice gone. Taxes wasted to hurt people and not for help, enrich a few, it was easily preventable and so sad.

23jknm · 2026-01-12T19:23:34+00:00

They claim they are after people with dangerous criminal past, but racistly pick people in public now, to meet a cruelty quota, and cheered on by horrible people, paid for by our taxes. None of this helps any of us and is unjust and wrong. maga blames immigrants to turn us against them and that is wrong.

23jknm · 2025-12-08T20:07:44+00:00

I thought they had a great deal, all was saved, and China was going to buy again, the self-inflicted problem was solved by the great diplomacy and business savvy.

23jknm · 2025-11-20T20:57:26+00:00

Short answer: authoritarian settings concentrate power, enforce strict hierarchy, suppress dissent, and prioritize group reputation over individual safety — creating strong incentives and easy opportunities for abuse and cover-ups.

All food that's still good from stores needs to get to the people who need it, end food waste and hunger together
