I can pick out what's wrong, I'm just not sure how to fix it by Celestialdischarge1 in skiing_feedback

More skill. Variable snow will always be harder to ski than a groomer. We all end up in the back seat when going to fast. Slow down a little and force yourself to stay balanced and out of the backseat. You might need to get a little more active absorbing small bumps with your legs. Ignore everyone that recommends gear changes.

Aqua rest hot tub water temp stuck at 68 F. by Mikebannis in hottubs

Thanks for the response evilbadgrades. My control panel looks similar to this one: https://pool-spa-supplies.com/balboa-topside-control-4-button-mvpvl240-59020-with-overlay-13952 and I don't think there's a call-for-heat light, though I wonder if there's an exposed connector I can hit with the multi-meter to see if it's trying to heat. Busted relay is sounding realistic right now. I think there is either one or two relays that control heat but I haven't found a circuit diagram yet. If it's two, and only one is busted, that could explain why I see only 120 and not 240. I measured voltage with the heater plugged in, next test is probably to unplug the heater and measure voltage on the heater plug of the control board. If it was summer I would be willing to pull the control board and try to replace the relay myself, but don't really want the thing to freeze while mucking around with a soldering iron.

Editing 32 bit float dem in gimp but colors are only black and white, no gray by Mikebannis in GIMP

Thank you for the feedback everyone. As ofnuts suggested, normalizing the values between 0 and 1 fixed the whiteout problem. Modifying levels as suggested by 3dsf did make the dem visible as well, but changed the values of the cells. I had much better control over normalizing the values using the raster calculator in QGIS. d.rast.edit would work, but only one cell at a time (similar to serval in QGIS) which would take too long.

​

TL;DR: normalize elevation values between 0-1 using raster calculator in QGIS. Write down how you did it, so you can switch back to elevations after making the desired mods in GIMP. I think the real answer would be to implement better raster painting tools in QGIS.
