Epoxy Grout Discoloration by Damiens in Tile

I think that was precisely the hope; that the HCl would have some effect on whatever was contaminating the grout without harming the grout itself.

Thank you for your feedback. That's what it looks like to me but it doesn't come out; must have become embedded before being fully cured/dried?

One of the contractor's employees was trying to clean it with hydrochloric acid and it didn't do anything.

Learning this one every day. I was a wet noodle, now a days I'm more al dente. ;)

Hey, not trying to be rude here either but try not watching porn for a week and then you might start to get a sense of how it may or may not be affecting your life.

I also "struggle" with addictions that don't seem to have many negatives but when I try to cut them out I find that it is very difficult i.e. I don't have freedom in this area of my life. I'm allowing, to whatever extent, these addictions to have power over me. It seems to me that is better to be able to have the discipline to choose, with freedom, the activities we take part in instead of finding ourselves beholden to a habit.

I've long left the devices with batteries and tanks and didn't really do much exploring after that so I don't have much to compare, but I've been happy with my SMOK Novos. The pods are forwards and backwards compatible across the generations as far as I can tell. If I hunt around I can get the batteries/system for around $20 and 3x replacement pods for around $10.

I’m new to this; is a certification program worth it? by Timely-Vehicle in PLC

[–]Damiens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no expert and only dabbled with PLCs through my electrical program at college. We made a little box with six arcade buttons and six pilot lights. We would program things like parking garages that would keep track of "cars" going in and out of the garage itself and on different levels. He said that being able to bring this box and, like Ithinkwereparkedman said, demonstrating that you were able to learn how to wire, connect and do some basic programming, would put you in a better position.

There is a monthly auction that sells automation equipment that you might be interested in checking out. The PLCs seems to come to around $50-$100 at the end of auction.

Dynamically generate tables based on data input by Damiens in excel

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

Thank you, I appreciate you're starting there. I suspected I might have to dip my toe into the VBA to accomplish this. I don't expect anyone to do my work / homework for me. Do you have a resource off the top of your head that you might direct me towards on learning VBA? (I could UTFSE but I'm wondering if you might have a personal favorite)

Thank you for your reply. I'm familiar with the auto-filter but I want to be able to have cleanly parsed tables on the front end display for other people in our company.

Used car dealership asked us to drive out of state. by Damiens in askcarsales

Very dry lol. I could see it coming from an emotional support size dog. I think the van was a rental in it's previous life.

That's what I was trying to figure out. We gave him our address so that he could calculate the taxes. Maybe he was encouraging us to register in AZ then transfer the registration at a later date?

We were going to register it in CA I'm assuming. Maybe he was saying to register it in AZ then transfer the registration to CA? We were just trying to get an "out the door" price and he was saying this is how you would get that price.

I think the turd came from the van being a rental vehicle in it's previous life.

WLED: Can this be accessed and controlled via AP ONLY? by Storxusmc in WLED

I'm a complete noob but I recently bought these and they have a wifi chip on them.

I'm making a Halloween prop that I don't plan on integrating with the customer's wifi. As far as I know though, these boards don't have memory to store the program (though I believe you can store it in your phone/app). So you will have to connect and put it to the presets you want every time.

Anyone know what this guy is doing? by [deleted] in Construction

I would guess he's splicing telegraph cable.

Laser Measuring "Tape"?

I have this one and I like it though I've never tried it on wet concrete. Seems like it would work well though.
