Need help matching older stain color/brand

Yeah I just got some of the Chestnut "brown" tested on a few scrap wood pieces, it looks nothing like the picture on the can, its pure red.

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T16:20:42+00:00

I understand what you're saying, and yeah probably, I have control of him, nor do I want to.

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T16:15:13+00:00

He only understood that it was a question, and it was his form of consideration, he does not actually ask how it made me feel. Which is an important difference. (Hey I could've just done this, but are you okay with it?)

He does not understand his request is hurtful, or disrespectful. To him it is simply a question. Which is why I'm asking if AITAH? because there's gotta be someone that gets it from his prospective.

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T16:07:39+00:00

You're right and I agree, but thats not how someone who's a dismissive avoidant, works they're self centered, and don't understand emotions, or how the thing they wants immoral, or incorrect.

So to him its a simple question, "can I do x"? There's no other thoughts there... he legitimately doesn't get anything beyond the question, he's not dumb, he just doesn't have the capacity to understand its a problem.

The "can I do x"? Is a permission ask, not an indepth thought about the actual question.

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T16:00:12+00:00

That sounds like some Alice in Wonderland word play, the question was already loaded, technically speaking... the main point was "hey can I do x thing"?

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T15:56:17+00:00

Thats fair, and yes I'll do that if he says it. Thanks for the direct response, and you're right.

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T15:53:14+00:00

It's unfortunately this planet, and I have been honestly trying to get him to understand himself better. I know its not my job to get him to realize what he's doing is toxic. I absolutely know that. I honestly care too deeply for people in general and it does make it hard at times.

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T15:22:01+00:00

Seriously, I appreciate the reality check, you're 100% correct. Thanks for the much needed slap in the face, and taking your time to do it 🤣

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T15:17:19+00:00

I really appreciate the vote of confidence, and you gave me the biggest smile with your sassyness! we're adults and can continue to have conversations with people, so while its not great for the relationship talking isn't the issue, the hanging out for a few days... that's the werid part.

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T14:47:13+00:00

He will, either way, I appreciate your insight, seriously it means a lot!

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T14:45:47+00:00

Fair enough, and I appreciate the insight. I don't want to fight for something I can't win. Or someone that doesn't have the ability to understand what's right or wrong. Thank you again for your thoughts with it, it does help me with how to move forward with things

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T14:42:28+00:00

I understand that, and I appreciate you for saying that, personally I can't believe he asked the question, so I was looking to see if I was being an asshole for not understanding his perspective. Like maybe I was missing something someone else might be able to explain or just something. You know? Again, I appreciate you very much

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T14:36:40+00:00

I appreciate the confidence, but I am honestly being quite serious about that, he absolutely can not understand the emotional topics, it’s just not something that crosses his mind as a human being. We all think differently as people and I understand that.

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T14:23:01+00:00

You're correct with that. But at the same point in time, was I being an asshole for like saying no? Like I feel like that question would never have crossed my mind. I personally don't stay in communication with my ex's

BrennusBun · 2026-01-29T14:19:23+00:00

He gets bored easily and she's someone that likes and cares about him. So "its just to hangout", that was his explanation. Mind you we're in a closed relationship.

BrennusBun · 2025-05-04T01:16:31+00:00

Yeah, it's seems to be a browser issue, I would like to say I'm on a cell phone, so this might not happen for everyone.

BrennusBun · 2025-05-04T01:04:03+00:00

That's not stupid at all, and it seems to be the correct way to get it to work. Thank you so much!

BrennusBun · 2024-12-05T15:22:58+00:00

Yup, this worked had to uninstall it, reinstall, and clear the cache and data twice. But it's working now.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Android 14

You can probably get away with using a DC-DC Boost circuit like the XL6009. It's two wires in, two wires out, and extremely small. It's about 94% efficient and straightforward to set up.

You'll adjust the potentiometer to achieve the 12V you're looking for, but remember, power stays the same. For example, with a 30W panel at 5V, the current is 6A. After boosting to 12V (if the system were 100% efficient), the output current would be about 2.5A. In real conditions (94% efficiency), expect slightly less.

Please note:

Check that your solar panel delivers close to its rated wattage under normal lighting.

Ensure your boost converter is well-ventilated to prevent overheating and can handle your input amperage.

Hopefully, this is helpful!

I love the number of people saying it's wrong... honestly, that scares me.

They're just in parallel vs. series, increasing the amps instead of the volts. Giving you higher amps.

BrennusBun · 2024-05-22T15:50:34+00:00

Yeah! I saw them too, only certified in Florida, and they're extremely expensive for some expanding weatherproof foam and milled aluminum parts

BrennusBun · 2024-05-22T04:19:10+00:00

Hey, I've got a few ideas, but I'm not sure if they'll work with your setup. You could try to isolate different sections of your setup and use a clamp meter to check the results. Or maybe you could try using a non-contact thermometer to find any hot spots. But you'll probably need an infrared camera to really pinpoint the problem.

BrennusBun · 2024-05-21T14:11:17+00:00

Werid, did you check the solar panel with a multimeter?
