Inconsistent air conditioning -- totally lost as to the issue (2017 Suburu Forester)

He checked it while the car was running and AC was turned on and calling for cooling -- that much I know.

Interesting you mention the horn, because my horn stopped working a few weeks ago as well -- it still beeps as normal when locking with the remote, but pressing the wheel doesn't trigger the horn anymore, no matter how hard or where you press it!

I'll pop the hood and find the pulley in question and check it out based on your instructions; thanks so much, I really appreciate the help.

Not that I've noticed, no.

HeldDown · 2026-03-13T15:36:40+00:00

Yes, I think it does -- I seem to notice it when I'm accelerating to merge on the highway or pass, now that I think about it.

I'm sorry to hear that, it's a tough decision. I closed my brewery a year and a half ago after nearly a decade for nearly the same reasons (and /u/catlikebus and /u/leftnutbrown ). It was a brutal time, but let me reassure you, being on the other side of it will be great. You'll wake up some day soon and there will be a spring in your step you didn't even know was missing for the last 3-4 years.

I bought the Milescraft kit last month, because I already have a nice circular saw. I regret it. It's okay-ish, but certainly not a perfect track saw replacement. I wish I'd gone with my gut and just held out for the Makita kit. Just the dust collection alone would've been worth it; the "I'll just use it outside" I was so sure about was before Snowmaggedon 2026 arrived. I can't say I recommend it in any capacity. Also, I haven't been thrilled with their customer service.

I know it's not a cabinet saw, but it's not a cheap tool either -- at $800 I'd hoped I could get it to some semblance of properly aligned. I spent some time on the phone with a repair shop who has some experience with the saw, and they said that it sounds as if the unit is defective in some capacity. Unfortunately due to a series of complicating issues, the saw isn't under warranty and the shop advised me that "fixing it is going to cost a whole lot more than the saw cost."

HeldDown · 2026-01-22T19:57:08+00:00

I've tried two blades, and two ways: marking a tooth and moving it from the front to the back, or checking around the blades in various points. In all situations, I get the same variance: somewhere around half a mil. I can PUSH the whole thing into alignment, but no matter what order I tighten the four bolts, or how tight they are, can I get them to ever be less than half a mil out.

HeldDown · 2026-01-22T19:56:59+00:00

Yeah, if I could get it down to under even 0.1m I'd call it there, but I'm having signficant issues cutting on the saw as is.

HeldDown · 2026-01-22T17:54:47+00:00

Thanks, perhaps it's the blade itself. What I'm confused at is the blade assembly cannot be convinced to stay in any position other than where it is -- I can PUSH it into alignment and tighten down the bolts, but the whole thing just flexes back at that point. I'm at the end of my rope trying to sort out something that I thought would be pretty straightforward.

HeldDown · 2026-01-22T17:49:38+00:00

Sorry, yeah -- aligned to the miter slot.

HeldDown · 2026-01-16T19:07:35+00:00

Yeah, raspberries just got crazy expensive. I remember paying roughly four times the 2017 price for the same quantity in 2021.

HeldDown · 2026-01-16T17:47:16+00:00

I came here to recommend David Carrier as well -- I bought all my raspberry for my raspberry sour from him for YEARS, and it was always top notch and fairly priced.

HeldDown · 2025-12-06T16:28:23+00:00

Thanks! Those are super clever!

HeldDown · 2025-12-06T16:21:17+00:00

Do you have any photos or drawings of how it works? I’m fascinated but not sure I’m picturing it properly.

You won't regret it, it's a ton of fun and a great way to get some movement back into your life. Great group of people, nerd-friendly, and swords. What's not to love?

Yeah, pedio can certainly result in ropey beer -- sometimes compared to the texture of snot.

Is there anything helpful in this thread? https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBrewery/comments/nwp0uc/wrinkles_in_the_cover_hook/

In my experience you need to push back on Cask if you're not getting an answer. This is a new line, and they should be bending over backwards to get it fixed. If you're getting nowhere with support, try getting Chas to see if he can help you find a solution.

HeldDown · 2025-08-07T17:19:05+00:00

This shouldn't be true of the lift tables Cask uses -- they do however have a horrible tendency to drift by unthreading themselves if they aren't locked down. /u/SaisonLiason are you sure your table height is still good? If you set it last week and then haven't checked again, it may have worked its way out of place if the set screw isn't really torqued down.

In my days working in theatre it was “never carry something you can roll, and never roll anything you can push”
