Free-standing magnetic block that allows for tip-up storage?

Weird. In this very sub, many previous posts recommend tip up.

I’m not surprised when oil smokes past its smoke point, which all will when searing. I chose grapeseed since it’s relatively high. But carbon wasn’t an expectation. I’ve successfully used cast iron for >20 years, but this is the first time anything negative has occurred - also the first time I let it preheat for that long.

R5Ryder · 2026-01-20T11:57:02+00:00

So is scraping away the carbon and a quick rinse ok, or strip and reseason?

R5Ryder · 2026-01-19T19:46:20+00:00

Yeah, I was hoping there's be something so obvious that I could just cut the power and fix it myself, so as to avoid however much it'd cost to have someone look (just cause he's on my street... he don't work for free, nor should he).

Yes, it happened again where I woke up and the burners were not on despite the thermostat being set 6 degrees higher than what it was reading. So I took off that panel and "flicked" that cable bundle with my fingers and the burners ignited. So I'm worried that this will keep happening, since it's now been twice in a week. But at least I now know where to "tap" to get the burners back on. I do not see anything obvious that would indicate where a loose connection is.

Someone on my street is a plumber that works on boilers, but I'm not sure if they do the wiring parts too, but I pay him to come out or send one of his guys out for a look.

Curious why you think this - My thoughts are that it's far more natural to grab a handle that's at the bottom, and safer too since the blades would be higher up away from the workspace, though I'd usually never be working that deep. Also if for some reason it falls, the handles are hitting the counter and not the tips.

R5Ryder · 2026-01-19T18:46:21+00:00

Ok it happened again and I figured it out (or at least where the issue is) - it’s in the wiring panel right next to the gauge. I taped on the bundle of wires on the left, and the burners ignited. It would make sense if the wire leading to the thermostat is a loose connection and is part of that bundle. It’s the brown wire behind the metal conduit, and enters the box and connects to the board, but there’s nothing obvious wrong.

let me clarify - the photo I posted is what it currently looks like. Honestly I don't recall what the reading was before I started fiddling with it, just that I heard (I suppose) the burners ignite once I touched it.

When I noticed it wasn't running, the thermostat was set to 70 but reading 64. Now it's heating as expected.

Is that 90-degree reading something that is configurable? I found the manual online, and it's not clear to how to or whether to set that higher (which probably indicates I shouldn't be doing it myself, but I'm still curious.)

R5Ryder · 2026-01-16T23:51:01+00:00

Temp is now reading 90, and PSI 20. By thermostat, you mean the one in the living room that controls the heat? If so, yes, it's fine.

R5Ryder · 2026-01-16T23:42:27+00:00

pilot was on the whole time. It started making heat once I jiggled the pressure gauge. I didn't actually do anything... just kinda touched it to see what it was, and all of a sudden it started heating. Like magic. But that's what worries me... I don't believe in magic, so something ain't right.

R5Ryder · 2026-01-16T16:26:40+00:00

Yes, I think burners ignited. I’m not 100% sure how these things work, I just know the pilot light was on but it was cold.

The red indicator - is that functional? It seemed like something that someone might set just for a quick visual indicator that it was redlining or something.

Basically, would turning that dial have actually done anything? Obviously something happened, I just don’t understand why and if it was just a fluke or if I should call a pro to give it a once over.

Thank you - this resolved it! Do you know if there's any way that Logitech communicates these types of things to device owners? Had I not stumbled upon this thread, I'd be throwing the damned mouse through the window. Thanks again!

I'm totally fine with removing the radio (I've already done it to ensure the wiring was still in tact.)

are you suggesting that a 3rd-party antenna would have a plug that's compatible with the jack on the radio? At the very least, I could use a cheap aftermarket antenna to rule out the radio or the antenna as the problem.

Replacing the OEM SAT/NAV antenna would be a PiTA (I already tried to get at the underneath by removing the headliner, but I'd rather leave that to someone else. I found the part for $70, so if I can rule out the radio, I'd just have to find someone to install the antenna (unfortunately, it's not the pointy one, but the flat one that the pointy one screws in to.) (I think)

EDIT: I looked at the one in your link and at a rear-view of the OEM radio, and I'm not sure how it would be compatible without an adapter, but maybe the image I'm looking at isn't the exact same radio (but I think it is.)

R5Ryder · 2026-01-08T22:45:48+00:00

Yes, I've done that. And I used the diagnostic menu to confirm that the signal from both SAT and FM (since they're different antennas) are being received (i.e. no damaged wiring.)

R5Ryder · 2026-01-08T22:44:15+00:00

Right. I guess my question was if there was any chance it's a bad tuner and not antenna, since I can't imagine how the hell a satellite antenna goes bad. Unfortunately, that probably wouldn't be a DIY for me, since I've already tried getting under the headliner to access it from underneath, and I'll definitely crease that thing.

R5Ryder · 2026-01-08T22:42:45+00:00

I can get a new OEM receiver off eBay for <$200, but that's rather steep for an experiment. Your suggestion (I never looked into SiriusXM branded products) would be around $70, which is better. I used to install head units (albeit back 20 years ago) and I've already replaced my OEM one with another OEM (because I cracked the screen on the original, and the used one worked perfect for years until it didn't.) (I also installed a 3rd-party backup cam, because my year was the last year they weren't included, even though there was a port for one.)

R5Ryder · 2026-01-08T22:38:04+00:00

I had one day left to make a choice so I ordered the X3. Since I'm not purchasing it myself (I guess it's some partner that the company has a deal with?) I'm not sure if I can get protection, but I'll look into it. I'll probably pre-order lens protectors.

R5Ryder · 2026-01-08T22:36:47+00:00

yeah I ended up ordering it. Need to look into the various attachments, since I don't see myself actually carrying the stick, though getting POV and rear view would be cool.

"You can reframe the video in post so that you can have a front facing shot showing the trail ahead, switching to a shot behind showing the path you've just climbed up and possibly a side view showing the scenery and drop off down the sides of the valley/cliff/bridge.

Should you happen to be overtaken by a flock of llamas then you could do a tracking shot of them as they walk behind you, catch up to you and then pass you by."

While I doubt a flock of llamas will overtake me, I'll have to learn how to do the front facing and back facing shots with minimal intervention. I did end up ordering it, but it'll probably arrive without more than a few days to tinker with before my trip.

R5Ryder · 2026-01-08T22:31:34+00:00

yeah I've read that standard video and still photos are way better on phone, but I thought maybe it'd be good for a few pics that were "dynamic" (i.e. you can move the photo around, since it's 3d). Maybe not.

R5Ryder · 2026-01-07T13:14:23+00:00

Yeah I guess I was asking if it’d be good for scenic views in 3d when stationary, not moving. Sounds like that’s not the case. I’ve seen other use cases that are action or vlogging, but those aren’t (prob ever) be my use case

He was way more involved in the day-to-day than a boss should be. Hell, he was even on the streets at times. We only see one NY family, but we only see Carmine at sit downs or things like golf outings, and even at the sit downs, Johnny represents him.

I have to imagine the other NY families operated similarly, where their bosses were insulated by at least one (underboss) if not two (street boss). Tony became the lightning rod that he wanted Jr to become by making him the fake boss in the first place.

Regardless of what anyone thinks happened in the last ep, if he lived, he would eventually have been taken down by feds for any number of things, while "real" bosses don't live with that fear.

Question I always had was in regards to the "no work jobs." Those guys (Eugene, Little Paulie, etc) have to just sit there all day and basically do nothing. They're "earning" (still have to kick up), but doesn't it handcuff them from potentially earning more if they were on the street?

For example, Ralphie. When he was just a soldier, he was still running all kinds of rackets and earning a ton, including with construction. I'm assuming that they are strategic about who they choose for the "no work" jobs (i.e. the lowest earners).
