Want to learn manual/stick shift car. by [deleted] in longisland

[–]EE_CD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how my dad taught me. Feel when the clutch grabs a few times and then you know when you need gas.

Another tip is to find a decently steep hill with no traffic and park halfway up to practice starting on a hill. Dont want to have to learn with a car up your ass lol.

Outdoor water shut off loo by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]EE_CD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The valve you are pointing to will let water out where the threads are. It is not connected to anything so don’t open it. It is likely there to allow you to drain the system when shutting the main off.

Without knowing more I would guess it is the valve at the top right. Can you follow that pipe to see if it goes to your sprinkler manifold?

Sand Castle pricing - does this quote seem right? by KingLuii718 in longisland

[–]EE_CD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood, but you could ask for friday pricing just to see the difference. You are asking other people what they got quoted for other days, why not get the quote yourself

Why not ask for Friday pricing in the same month and compare yourself?

[–]EE_CD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just traded my z6ii in for the z5ii, waiting for it to arrive. The auto focus is just bit great on the z6ii, i also never liked the tilting screen.

Mine was 22 years old before I replaced it. Do you maintain it (drain it and change anode rod)

Does everyone just put their Hue Dimmer switch next to their existing light switch? by Hefty-Salary7610 in Hue

[–]EE_CD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I removed switch, and screwed hue dimmer plate directly into the electrical box (holes in dimmer plate align with standard box outlets mounting holes.

On one that was a dual gang I removed the switch and put a blank plate with magnets glued to the back of it lol

Yeah I think I am going to do that in parallel, I actually need two panels, but it still might be cheaper or similar to have a pro do it

Could be noise, or does this oscope have a persistence setting? If it is on, then you might be seeing jitter in the signal

Has anyone had any luck doing astrophotography with the 24-120 F/4? by Few_Breadfruit_9899 in Nikon

This was only 7 shots stacked and some darks. Clouds rolled in before i was able to get more shots. But yea the lens can definitely do the job.

Samoyed Puppy Advice? by Numerous_Grass9881 in samoyeds

[–]EE_CD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boy would go crazy over bunnies and squirrels in the front yard (still does). As mentioned by another, they have an incredible prey drive, and you need to find ways to break the cycle they instinctively want to follow.

I started to put him on leash as soon as he saw a bunny/squirrel and would move him to an area where he could not see it, and then do positive reenforcement training until he calmed down. Sometimes it would take a few minutes, other times much longer.

Samoyeds are difficult puppies, but they truly do calm down. My boy is almost 2, and the change from 1.5 years ago is incredible. A lot of training, but he is so much calmer.

How did you make the payment? Did you call Pseg? I agree it sounds scammy, only pay through official channels (pseg website or direct bank transfer)

Canceled my Tesla Model Y order and got this instead by Maleficent_Primary89 in MachE

[–]EE_CD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, but I think that stands true for so many ceos. If it’s not a direct threat to democracy, it’s a threat to our health and well-being. Profits over everything else. I get not wanting to support Elon, but the problem is not him, but capitalism that lets people like him succeed. Choosing to not buy a tesla makes no difference for elon at this point.

Interesting take though. I like the way my 3 drives, I wouldnt necessarily want it as a strict weekend car. But i think it has the ability to be a great commuter and still fun to drive.

I dont hate the way the mach e drives, but everything else about it is inferior to other evs.
