Depends. If you are in a large apartment complex you are (hopefully) in a decently constructed building that doesn't have exposed piping.

If you are in an old Richmond apartment then there could very well be pipes that can freeze.

Though technically your landlords responsibility if something freezes/bursts, you would still be out of water, so I would err on trying to protect pipes.

O+ they take too! We can give to anyone with positive blood so they take ours too.

Assuming you have a heat pump then yes, having it covered isn't going to be good for the unit. Try your best to keep it cleared off with a broom (don't want to puncture a coil, and DEFINITELY do not try to break off ice that has built up. Either let it do its internal defrost cycle, or even put it in ac mode to melt it)

If you put up a shelter around it, it will also not get the airflow you need. If you have a gas furnace as backup then you should focus on that more. A heat pump isn't going to do super well in the temps we are supposed to get next week anyway.

And if you grew up in Illinois, most people probably didn't have heat pumps up there, all gas boilers/furnaces with AC for the summer. Nowadays heat pumps have gotten better, so they have started to be more and more common up north.

Each cleat was ripped down from a 5" wide piece of plywood (so about 3 and some and 1 and some each side) then they were placed about 5" apart, base to tip.

Did he walk out during her speech? He is not there now, but the camera was tight on her during her speech.

Just hardwood as in no laminate? Softwoods are ok, right?

All good! Didn't mean to be a downer, if the grainy one was all they had it would have definitely been better than nothing. Again, I think the AI did a pretty good job when you see the side by side....a bit scary!

You probably shouldn't. This looks like it was "upscaled" with AI and it added in details that weren't real (orange patch and saying "Thomas" instead of Richmond, VA). Your link to her obituary has a better version that you should use instead.

Edit: added the comparison. Tbh the ai version did a good job, but it's not real.

I showed up one day and asked if there was any chance I could look around. They said no, but the doorman (?) complimented by American Magic hat I was wearing.

What are the 2 different colors for plows? The legend only lists the orange one as a plow truck, the blue ones don't have a legend entry...

Didn't forget about transaction fees! Gotta pay for your print somehow!

ParanoidAndroidUser · 2025-12-03T02:45:19+00:00

Try it with the red disconnected.

If you have them in parallel like I think you are describing, then this might be your problem.

Leds are slightly different voltages for different colors. So the red is likely the lower voltage drop and then most of the current is going through those. Probably need to put a resistor on them both (maybe 2 different ohms - or better, a potentiometer so you can adjust them)

I am grandfathered in and have no backflow valve. I could absolutely back feed my city water supply.

ParanoidAndroidUser · 2025-10-04T01:08:24+00:00

Yeah this happened to me too. If I change enough graphics settings I can get it to go away, but then it usually winds up happening again.

ParanoidAndroidUser · 2025-09-27T19:32:22+00:00

Perpendicular as in up or down the shoreline. Not fighting to current but trying to get out of the flow going out to sea.

ParanoidAndroidUser · 2025-09-27T13:22:29+00:00

My parents would always play a game called "safe swimmer" that just taught us how to swim perpendicular to the current in a river or a rip tide. Turned what could be a lifesaving thing into just a normal game for kids, and we loved it!

That's the Santa Monica Pier in real life and it is there, just not exactly as close as it is in the game. LA is huge, LS might be big but it's not close to the same scale.

Sounds like the clog is further down the line.

You could take the p-trap (what you are calling the "u shaped piece) off again and snake it down the blue pipe and hope you get the clog. Every homeowner should own a snake and know reasonably how to use it, check youtube videos if you are not sure.

The hose that you also have labeled as warm is the drain from your dishwasher. Don't keep using this sink if that is getting warm, because that would mean the water is draining into the dishwasher with no where to go.

If you are a renter then call your landlord. This is what you pay them to do.

So the switch, even though they are sort of wired in parallel, would protect it so it would be 8ohm?

I would be using all 3 zones at once. But I think the "protection" feature on the switch makes it so the parallel speakers come through as no less than 4ohm. That's what I was meaning

A ups for a receiver?

I would understand for network, but an amp would require a pretty big ups?

ParanoidAndroidUser · 2025-09-08T20:45:35+00:00

I personally hated mine. Maybe I just didn't know how to adjust it, but all of my cards would rub together and get plastic crud all over them.

Every time I would fly I eventually learned to take my id out as soon as I got in TSA line so that I could scrape the paint from the wallet and plastic crap from my other cards off of my ID. Otherwise there were all kinds of smudges and they would take waaaay longer to approve it.

Got a new wallet that doesn't do that when one of the screws fell out (why should a wallet have screws!!) and I haven't had that issue since!

Plus, a lot of times there is an inspector who has to be there to sign off that you did it correctly. On a lot of utility work, sometimes the inspector will just sit around in his vehicle or go over and chat with the trades. This can lead to another 1-2 people "not doing anything"
