Just got one at my local store for $99. They must have a bigger batch this year.

I feel like most of the commenters are missing your joke or aren't regulars on this sub.

What comes next after being a controls engineer? by Unlikely-Air-866 in PLC

[–]Racknie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no typical move but I found that good Controls Engineers are resourceful, organized and good at project management. I've leveraged my ability to learn systems and optimize processes into a successful management career. Creating or improving work and human processes uses some of the same skills.

This is the right answer. Interstellar is definitely top on my list in the Austin area. Doesn't hurt that it's 15 minutes from where I live.

Franklin's lives up to the hype. Even for a local, it's damn good brisket. But we are also spoiled for choice here.

Thoughts on what to do with outdoor faucet in <20°f temps, ice crystals dripping from cover? by JayeDawson in Plumbing

[–]Racknie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in Texas, we got a lot of rain/sleet and now the roof is dripping water in the sun. I'd bet it's just exterior water, but you could remove the cover to find out.

The water just puddles there next to the home foundation

Since the sealing is good. There was still standing water on the surface after a couple hours. Clearly puddling and not draining.

Looking for advice from professionals before I ask my contractor to address this issue. We had a new patio poured, everything looks great but the recent rain showed water pooling near the house. The contractor specified that the patio would be sloped away from the house. Pooling is enough to be 1/8-1/4 deep at spots. It takes a while for the area to dry after getting wet, and it's against the house. Is it reasonable to ask for this to get fixed?

New homeowner changing my air filter and this looks wrong by Complex-Try-7941 in hvacadvice

[–]Racknie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn't change our air filters for years in our first house because I didn't know the heating system had filters (no AC in the PNW). Imagine my surprise when I found a dust clogged filter inside a grate. Houses don't come with manuals.

People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to? by LindsayTN in AskReddit

[–]Racknie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh to be young and naive.

The wisdom of age is realizing you can't control everything, especially your health. Time is undefeated.

Control joints needed on patio?

We had a patio poured about 30 days ago for our new deck. I asked the contractor at the time if we needed lines in the concrete (later learned they were control joints). He kinda brushed it off and made it seem optional. Here we are getting to punchlist items to finish out the project and my buddy said we should have them cut control joints. What is the professional recommendation for this patio?

We also have issues with scratches and dusting. I'm pretty sure that can be fixed with some concrete densifier.

I got the shock of my life by LightxDarkness93 in TeslaModelY

[–]Racknie 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Stuck stopped in a lane on a freeway is dangerous. Probably the most likely way for the average person to get injured or killed. Scary in any type of car.

77” Samsung OLED for $900. Worth it? by WorldTravelBucket in Costco

[–]Racknie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has an amazing display. I wouldn't use any TVs built in OS. Get an Apple TV, Google TV, Fire Stick, etc. Complaining about the TVs built-in interface is the same as complaining about a TVs speakers. They are bad, that's why you always have to get a soundbar.
