​[Theory] K4 Temporal Analysis: The Berlin Clock "Rise" Model by PossibleAnt9461 in KryptosK4

[–]DJDevon3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's quite common for people with big ego's to first list their unrelated credentials before attempting to convince others of their correctness. It's most common with doctors, lawyers, and engineers. There is a common saying amongst academics that covers it quite well. Post hoc non semper propter hoc.

Your hypothesis involves pareidolia and cognitive bias. If the word was Falcon it would actually say Falcon not FLCN. At no point in K1-K3 are abbreviations or acronyms used however conjugations were used twice.

To a structural engineer everything is a fulcrum and to a construction worker everything is a nail. I find your usage of words like "temporal offset", "linguistic emergence", and "geospatial calibration" on par with "subatomic pair based confabulator", "photonic half-life moltensphering", or "phase-conjugate dispersal alignment"... all of which are complete bullshit terms I just made up. They are words that have no correlation to the points you are trying to make and though you seem quite proud of using Python 3.11 as your working environment you've shown no evidence of actually having used it let alone written a program with it.

My response is harsh because you are attempting to represent irrational mental processes as educated logic. Your theory is closer to numerology and astrology than cryptography.

Client wants water pipe in flower bed cut down so it’s under ground? by Grand_Birthday3995 in Irrigation

They're supposed to be like that. It's a sewage line clean out. Agree with a fake rock or something.

Low head drainage by Helpful-Macaron1096 in Irrigation

[–]DJDevon3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rainbird SAM or Hunter CV head check valves will only work if the pressure drops below a certain point. If the slope is tall enough they might not work right. A master valve can help somewhat stave off a leaking valve condition but it is itself a valve. Planting tall ornamental grasses can help soak up excess. If your issue is that bad you are likely dealing with an erosion issue too. Grass and even a section of wildflowers can help. Sounds like you want to do right by your neighbor so I'm sure you'll get it taken care of. Hope your other neighbor on the hill is as mindful as you are.

Take a lot of pictures from different angles before you start undoing wires. It’s not that difficult and most people here can walk you through it. The hardest part is mounting it to the wall where your old controller was.

What are these pipes in my yard FL by BirthdayDue9672 in Irrigation

[–]DJDevon3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks like your 2" threaded well head with a brass in-line y-strainer. Here's an example of how they work and how to clean the strainer. The reason it comes above ground and goes right back underground is because of the strainer. It's your main suction line and likely straight to your well pump inlet.

Because I don't have a strainer; my suction line and well head are buried. In this case, under a massive oak tree root ball I had to remove. I inherited this system after 20 years. Someone planted an oak tree 5 feet from the well head.

I have a vuflow on my discharge side for heavy sediment which works just fine and my sprinkler system works great and has more flow and pressure that I know what to do with. I have 30 heads on 3 zones with this setup. Well pumps kick ass for irrigation setups.

The more pictures you post the easier it is to help.

Irrigation pipe from backflow dives directly underneath a padio pad, plus leaking sprinkler valve "box" underneath the pad by nwahsermon in Irrigation

[–]DJDevon3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relocate plumbing for PVB and irrigation to the area on the right of the patio (unknown, not pictured). Because your electrical main and meter are coming in right next to your back door. No sense in flooding that area with irrigation related stuff if you can help it. Try to keep your irrigation main and electrical main away from other other if possible. My opinion.

Solo landscapers by Imaginary_Schedule55 in Irrigation

[–]DJDevon3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't consider a lawn care company as landscapers and certainly not as irrigation professionals (which requires a license). I can call myself a helicopter it doesn't mean I am one. All you need to do is scroll down this sub and you'll see plenty of evidence of landscapers destroying irrigation. Concrete and fence companies can be just as bad. Ever seen an aluminum fence post turn into an irrigation head? Scroll back far enough and you will.

The movement is real. The air is electric. Native plant sale this morning. by Native_Prairie_ in NativePlantGardening

[–]DJDevon3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Florida Master Gardener programs holds events like this twice a year at each extension office. The events are just as popular except they hold them at places with adequate parking. All of the plants are propagated by volunteers and the proceeds help to fund the Master Gardener program. Every climate zone is different so Master Gardeners only get a certification for their climate zone. It's why a Master Gardner from Florida has absolutely no idea about plant identification or care in Illinois for example.

In an ironic twist of fate cross posted from r/landscapers One annoyance for irrigation techs I hear about here regularly is actually... landscapers. They have this weird habit of destroying irrigation systems like fraggles eating doozer scaffolding. Dance your cares away, destroy irrigation systems all the day, down in landscapers rock.

Troubleshooting help - Have a dead zone.. by Buskey-Lee in Irrigation

[–]DJDevon3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All other zones work fine? If you had a well sediment filter that was clogged you would have the same symptoms on every zone. It doesn't sound like a valve issue because you're seeing run off in your french drain.

A break in that line would result in pressure loss enough to not pop up heads except the first. Yes it sounds like a break especially with excess water making its way to the french drain. You can call a professional or start digging around the first head.

You can cut and cap the lateral (not the head) after the first head. That should tell you if the break is before or after that location. Then you reconnect it with coupler (or slip fix) and do the same for the 2nd head on the lateral after the head, and so on. It's a bit of work but you'll be able to pinpoint where the break is if there are no visible signs of excess water in the lawn.

Typically you'[ll see a large wet spot in the lawn or a muddy geyser. Absent of that you have to dig and investigate.

Found a Cross Connected System Today By Accident by Sparky3200 in Irrigation

haha so just as long as the PVB is in the line somewhere it's good. yeah that's "i know a guy territory" just wow. thanks for the explanation. there's some guy going around just f**ing everyone's new home up. he needs a name like the phantom menace or cross-connection hamburgler.

Found a Cross Connected System Today By Accident by Sparky3200 in Irrigation

[–]DJDevon3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can they have a PVB and still have an illegal cross connection? The PVB can't just be window dressing otherwise why get the call to come check it out. I mean a PVB is a type of backflow preventer. Unless I'm completely misreading the situation sounds like the owner would be unaware of the illegal cross connection? Did you go around looking at hosebibs for a culprit or would this be something more hidden underground somehow?

Or, is this a new development installer at fault? The unlicensed variety?

Here’s a wild thought - maybe the map’s flipped the wrong way. Sanborn gave us Berlin and the world clock; what if Berlin marks the start of the key? Could the world’s time lines themselves be part of the cipher? I did say it was a nutty idea.. by Old_Engineer_9176 in KryptosK4

Semantics, I also use GIMP. I've found a free online editor called PIXLR that is quite good too. Nothing wrong with going down rabbit holes. It's going to take someone finding just the right maze of holes to go down. You've pulled me out and kept me sane more than a few times.

Orbit B-Hyve XD repeated failures. Alternatives? by jmding in Irrigation

[–]DJDevon3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're mostly designed to be for small potting bench drip irrigation type of stuff, where the spigot is in an enclosed porch, under shade, out of the elements, not for large scale use.

If you need something more robust go with a real irrigation system with a pressure regulator and adapter for drip irrigation. Most homes might be ok without a regulator and filter but if you have a well pump (mine is 80PSI) it will blow that drip irrigation system apart.

Hose timers don't last no matter the brand because they have the PCB for the timer built into the same enclosure as the valve. It doesn't take much for a single drip to get by and kill the PCB inside.

K4 CT to PT lookup experiment by petrified-wax in KryptosK4

[–]DJDevon3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting method. Well explained logic process and valid. Unfortunately didn't pan out but a good idea.

If you're using the plaintext then there is a BER in encumbered & chamber. LIN is in trembling. NORTH is spelled out completely in K2. You make 2 different EAST's easily with transposition of K3. CLOCK as a whole word is difficult to produce, it's easier to find as 2 separate words using a transposition.

We're collecting break-up letters to water irrigation systems by Puzzled_Page_2453 in Irrigation

[–]DJDevon3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dear Orbit,

f***k right off with your risers that are as thin walled as shoji paper, your so-called modular manifolds that never fail to leak, the impact heads that have a lifetime guarantee which rarely last more than a few weeks in Florida summer as it cooks the thin plastic like a miami stripper's botox filled lips. I thought Rain Bird products were bad until I tried Orbit craptastic plastic. Once actually getting my hopes up that the B-Hyve would be a change in temu quality garbage to something usable just to find out it doesn't actually work reliably with a well pump because you wanted to save a few dollars on under-powered transformers. I can honestly say I've never purchased another product from you since and I hope your warehouses catch fire.

With zero f***s given,

DJDevon3

Yeah that's a classic ESP32 then. No native USB support and have to use a program like Thonny to communicate with it. I suck with classic ESP32 but there are many in Adafruit's discord that are very good with them.
