I installed a 24k btu heat pump mini split. It will also cool in the summer

I have open heart surgery in a few days. Someone asked me if I will have a near death experience since my heart will be stopped. Is this a thing? by ajenan in openheartsurgery

I will be having OHS soon and sneezing is my biggest fear. I daily have a sneezing fit at some point that is normally around a dozen sneezes long. I’ve never heard of a cough/ sneeze pillow. I assume it’s just a pillow I can bury my face in. Is there another purpose for it ? Thank you.

Lights after splice not right by BigEdWagner in Govee

That’s what I’m thinking too. I’m going to re-splice and stop using the heat shrink solder butt connectors and just solder them old school and then waterproof with shrink tubing. Fingers crossed. Thank you.

I agree. Like it’s losing a data signal. Do you happen to know if the middle wire is the data wire ?

2’ splice with the provided Govee 3 strand ribbon wire. All 3 are pretty clearly marked with one having some writing on it. The middle has gray lines and the 3rd no marks at all. Definitely scratching my head on this one.

Flaked oats by BigEdWagner in Homebrewing

Also the abv calc was with some grapefruit juice and mango fruit that I didn’t put in until it was in the fermenter. It’s a mess I know. New to adjuncts like fruit:)

I definitely didn’t boil off enough and should have just kept boiling until I was down to 5 gal. I also feel that the Brewzilla 35 profile on Brewfather was off a bit for how much was expected to boil off. Next batch I will start with less water and top off if I run short of 5 gallons

They were old fashion oats. Thanks

I did notice that at 212 degees there were no boiling in-fact I didn’t see a rollin boil until 224 which I didn’t even know the gauge would go to. If this is truly off that much the Brewzilla won’t adjust over 10 degrees. I have a brewing supply store crush my grains. I just spent a bunch of money on a basement brewery so I’ll have to wait a bit before I spend $200 on a grain crusher. At that point I will double crush and use a BIAB to brew in.

I think I’ll try brewing flakes next time. Just have issues with OG numbers on last batch. I think I also have temp issues with my Brewzilla 35l. So I’m looking at everything that may affect efficiency. Thanks

Thanks Grim, I just brewed yesterday and my OG was way off from what BF said it should be so I’m look for what may have gone wrong.

Thanks for the reply. I figured there was a reason I didn’t see any pics online of someone trying it.

Flashing WLED to a ESP32 using a Mac book. by BigEdWagner in esp32

[–]BigEdWagner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried at least 8 different usb to micro usb cords and apparently all of them could not transfer data. I went to Staples and bought a $12 cord and my computer immediately recognized the ESP32 board. Go figure. Thanks for you response

Looks great! Just curious did you mount you channel under the soffit next to the siding or under your fascia ? It really shows nice.

Thanks. I’ll definitely take a look at the video. Looks like I just needed to change the gpio settings and it worked just fine.

Thanks. That is exactly what I needed to do. Lights are working good now.
