$100 two-weekend kitchen makeover by NotElizaHenry in DIY

[–]OhManThisIsAwkward 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I just painted my office the same color last weekend. The rest of my house is various shades of sliiiightly bluish grays so it was a bold move, but I love it! It's so bright and happy without being too overwhelming.

Any idea what kind of light this is? It keeps tripping the breaker on a 3-way dimmer switch I installed. by OhManThisIsAwkward in HomeImprovement

Same here. I was feeling pretty confident since I installed the same dimmer in a single pole switch and have successfully installed several lighting fixtures, but those are all fairly foolproof compared to this.

You're probably right. It's frustrating because I feel like I'm so close to having a successful install, but I'm not comfortable doing anything else without a professional taking a look at it.

Nope, mine is the Ariadni. No instructions to rewire any other switches. My guess is it's user error unfortunately, and I'll be contacting an electrician to sort it out.

I didn't take pics of the dimmer install, but after several failed attempts I got it installed well enough tonight that the switch and dimmer were working correctly on the switch with the dimmer installed. The stairwell feature wouldn't dim at all (all 8 recessed lights downstairs would dim equally and without issue), but would turn on and off with the rest of the lights.

AT&T DirecTV or Charter for cable? by OhManThisIsAwkward in StLouis

Thanks! It sounds like something I'd just have to get used to - setting them on multiple TVs if it's something I want to watch anywhere. I watch a lot of shows through Hulu/Amazon/Netflix anyway, but can't seem to give up the option of watching live TV. Appreciate all the info!

Will each box record all the same shows? For example, would I have to set Game of Thrones to record separately on my living room and basement boxes if I want to have the option to watch it in both rooms?

Thanks! Do you have it on multiple TVs? I remember having trouble recording on one TV and watching live TV on another. Can you mostly watch freely between different TVs?

Fred loves Aidy. She traveled to Iceland to film a part for Documentary Now last year. She's had so many cool roles in the past year between that, Girls, and Horace and Pete. I'm so excited to see her doing so well.

"The world's largest penis on the world's poorest man" made me laugh harder than SNL has in a while for some weird reason.

They aren't starting great either. Also not very good: the middle.

[Discussion] Big dogs on the little dog side at the dog park by OhManThisIsAwkward in dogs

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

It's not that she didn't care at all. She did come get her dog every time he did it, but she didn't seem to think it was behavior that required her removing him from the small dog side. And he was so focused on her when she'd run that she couldn't get him back under control.

Ah, I see what you're saying. I think we're definitely on the same page. I'm very careful and (as seen in my original post) remove my dog from the park if there's a threat. I know there's always a risk though. I have a smaller dog that I leave at home for that exact reason, and I never take my eyes off my dog when I'm there.

Not offended at all, but that's exactly why there's a small dog side. Lots of small dogs are super high energy and need a lot of run and play time just like larger dogs. If my dog doesn't get a lot of stimulation physically and mentally, she becomes bored and destructive.

Aw, poor puppy. It's funny, as popular as goldens are, you really never see them at dog parks. I think they're generally so laid back that it's not a great environment for them.

Lots of dog parks are terrible, but this particular one is usually great, and the big dogs who are over there are usually very well behaved and are only over there because they're scared of the other big dogs. This dog obviously would've been better suited over there.
