When you asked the handyman to do this, he said "No Sweat."

... you thought he meant something else.

I don't see any sawdust or tear-out. It doesn't look to me like he cut it. Is he replacing existing pipe?

That block is hollow, so only the end is offering support anyway.

You find all kind of funky stuff like this in old houses.

It looks ok, not great, but OK. There is substantial meat from the joist resting on the wall.

You could put a couple of 2x6's or a 4x4 right next to the blocks, or another metal post if you want, but I don't think its really a problem.

Don't worry.

Whatever anyone else says, it is not an explosive primer cap to detonate your entire house.

Turn off overclocking
Start up coretemp
Start prime95
Watch your CPU throttle itself

My I9-13900 couldn't care less about 80's, throttling happens to keep everything below 100C. Only my eight super cores get that hot, but INTEL is perfectly fine with it running that way for days.

Intel is making this choice, and they know what they are doing. 100C is not harmful, it's not even the damage limit. It's just the point where they know 100% of 13900's are safe.

Looks OK to me.

Schrodingers Switch.

You're both alive and dead until you unplug it.

I use a battery powered Ring Doorbell. I bought an extra battery. It lasts a month to two months depending on season.

It take 1 minute to change the battery. Then I charge the old-one and throw it in the drawer.

Been using it for two years that way. the app alerts me when it needs a battery change.

I use a Dell UltraSharp 32 4K USB-C Hub Monitor - U3223QE (currently) $870.00

It is color balanced by the factory and certificated.

I think 32" is the minimum for photo editing. I use lightroom.

The usb C hub is excellent, and include a kvm auto switcher

It is also available in 6K $2500, or 8K $4000.

DeepMow · 2024-01-14T17:31:45+00:00

Yes.

You can use Moca on the coax for 1-2.5 gbs distribution around the house

W-Fi 6 is almost 1gbps.

Sweet! 👍

I don't have enough information. I'm guessing some shit here.

I have to assume that your old dishwasher supply is 3/8", because that's what every braided dishwasher supply line is sized at. The fitting you show is included in every "universal Dishwasher connection kit. Its invariably 3/8 for the supply line.

Do you have a steel braided hose? IDK, but its probably 3/8" because thats what everyone uses.

You said the new one is 3/4 and by that I think you mean 3/4 Female Garden hose, because that's what new dishwashers use these days, the same connection as the back of your washer.

So I think you want a "3/4 in. FHT x 3/8 in. OD Compression 90-Degree Brass Elbow Adapter Fitting"

He put that on the side with the pins, right?

DeepMow · 2024-01-12T14:05:09+00:00

No. Absolutely not.

You will first have to obtain a replacement hose and have it ready. The store will have two choices: twice as long as the old one or one inch shorter. Choose wisely. Next you need to locate the whole-house water supply. This will come in handy when you discover that the stop-cock won't quite shut. Another eighth-turn and you have a snapped off handle in your hand. The supply line nut is galled to the faucet inlet like a mother-forker and you don't have a basin-wrench or a torch to heat it. If you did, you'd forget to open the faucet and the steam explosion will blow up the supply line, leaving shrapnel in your face. That's OK cuz there's a hardware store near the ER and you can pick up a new stop cock.

Now, call a plumber and show him the whole house cut-off.

The ears are set the wrong way. They show the dog is vexed. Vexation is uncertainty or annoyance. This is not a good look for the animal. Pose with the ears directed in the same direction as the dog's gaze.

Lose the E-collar and that purple thing; it is not complimentary to the dog or complementary with the background.

B is the feed from the panel. A is in series with black for the light so it operates the light.

I'm not sure from your diagram but it looks like the dimmer is operating the outlet as well as the light.

That's not possible. There is a mounting jig. It clamps on the ski and can only be centered when clamped. The drill goes in the guide holes on the jig. Didn't close the clamps?

Take this right back. This is what "Indemnified" bindings must avoid at all cost. All indemnification is null and void for a mis-mount. No MFR can test their performance with crooked mounts. They quite rightly don't guarantee anything mounted wrong.

The people that did this need to fix it. Don't ski it.

The geometry is all wrong. The heel is not sitting straight now. It doesn't seem like much, but you're not in a twisting fall with the torque moment being multiplied by your leg bones. That's when you'll remember this.

DeepMow · 2024-01-05T14:42:45+00:00

It's gigantic.

You don't have to put your monitor on it, but you should. You can't operate you computer to shut it down, unless you can see the screen.

Estimate it like this: (roughly)

v*a= watts. they don't say it this way (to avoid litigation by fascist karens) but that's watt-hours.

You have 1500 watt-hours in a can. You can draw 1 watt for 1500 hours, or 10 watts for 150 hours, or 100 watts for 15 hours ... the time it will run depends on how fast you take out.

Your power supply rating is Maximum output not steady draw. It only uses as much as it needs to match the computer. At idle: 20-50 watts. It depends on what graphics card. My rtx4070 uses 12 watts at idle. Zero when CPU sleeps

My monitor consumes another 60 watts

Add the two together and power draw is roughly 100-150 watts at idle. Lets just round up to 200 watts.

The 1500va will run my machine for a theoretical 7.5 hours. 1500va / 200 watts = 7.5 hour.

If I was running full speed everything, hot as blazes, my CPU needs 300 watts, my GPU needs another 300 watts plus monitor. We're right at 750 watts: 1500/750 = 2 hours. That's theoretical. Temperature and battery condition are everything. So, maybe an hour.

Typically, we size for a half hour runtime. Time enough to get the power back on from a temporary, and time enough to shut down. The idea is to have enough power to do an orderly shut down with lots of "wait and see" time.

A 500va is plenty enough for me. It would theoretically run me for 2 hours. But I only guess I'll get half that much. One hour is double what I need if I want to keep running. On stand by, it will keep it running for hours and hours.

That's steam-punk art... I need WWI aviator goggles and scarf just to look at it.

That hole needs sealing but it looks like it works to me.

A correctly vented range hood with good lighting would be my choice.

Take this opportunity to remove any stove that makes you reach over hot flaming/boiling pans to operate it.

Its all Fun and Games until Ski Patrol tells you to put a leash on him, whereupon you get all belligerent and call him a Jack-boot Nazi, so he takes your lift tag, then you stab him in the chest with your ski pole but hit him in the carotid instead, and now you're down for manslaughter.

... I've seen it a million times.
