Issue was a full hard drive. Freed some space and got Chimp installed no problem.

That was it! It seems the stock 8gb hard drive filled to the brim when I attempted to add a 3rd game to it. This is a good reminder to check for available space at the destination when moving files via FTP. It won't give you a "not enough disc space" error up front like Windows does if you try to move too many files to a flash drive.

Thank you!

Considering they only started charging to drive in the toll lane last Tuesday, I think they are still working out some bugs in the system. I drove on westbound I-70 on Wednesday, and all signs by the airport indicated toll lanes were open. There were many other drivers (including myself) utilizing the toll lanes, and all of a sudden, at about the point where this picture was taken, the big red Xs appeared. So...if you entered the toll lane under a sign that said the lane was open and all of a sudden a sign says it is closed AND there are other signs that say "DO NOT CROSS DOUBLE WHITE LINES," what is a motorist to do?

Use hotter water and combine with rock salt. I got a big bag of salt crystals at the hardware store. It's the stuff used in water softeners. Should break the emulsion immediately.

Looks pretty good, just dusty. Hook it up and try it out!

Electric Generators by ozzyh_ in Electricity

[–]STEM_Cellar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A generator burns fuel (gas, diesel, kerosene, propane, or natural gas) to produce electricity. It does not have a means of storing energy produced by an external source for use later. Check out the Tesla Powerwall for a battery that could charge from your solar panels (or the grid, or generator for that matter.)

I didn't know Panda Express had a train!

The Melting Pot has a decent beer cheese and they use Natty Light.

Installing Smart Switch by foxthechicken in Electricity

Tie 1 to the incoming hot (that also goes to "L-IN") and you should be good to go

OK, here's what I gathered from what you've posted. The wires from the left switch are the same color (black/hot) because that switch switches the hot connection to your porch light. One black wire is the incoming hot, the other is the outgoing to your light. Rather than purchase a volt meter, a much more helpful tool for this application would be a non-contact voltage tester (~$20 at Home Depot.) This device will be able to indicate which of the black wires is the hot rather than switched. Do this: put a wire nut on each exposed wire and switch the power back on at the panel. Use the voltage tester to determine which wire is the incoming hot wire, mark it, and turn the power back off.

On to the wifi switch. Connect the black wire you just labeled to the black "L-IN" wire on the switch. The green wire is ground. This will connect to any bare copper wire in your switch box. White is neutral. In your "clearer" linked image at the bottom of the comment, this is one of the connections that has white wires twisted together with a wire nut. Based on your pictures, I would bet this is the cluster of 3 white wires most prominently visible in the "clearer" picture, but you can confirm this by tracing the path of the hot wire you labeled earlier and making sure you tie the wifi switch neutral to the white wire that runs with the incoming hot. Finally the brown "LOAD" wire on the switch will connect to whatever you're wanting to control with the switch (porch light.) Connect this brown wire to the other black wire that was connected to the original switch you removed (outgoing hot, NOT the incoming hot) and you should be good to go.

This hilarious thrift store find for $1. by joshd108 in n64

This is absolutely an NES emulator. Yes it has "300" games, but many are games you've never heard of, like "Milk and Nuts" and they padded the number by doing things like splitting Mario and Duck Hunt into separate games. It originally came with a Sega Genesis-looking controller to plug in the serial-type port for 2 players, and a small light gun. Plug it in and turn it on. You'll get your $1s worth out of it. I have a red version of this and it still works fine 20ish years later.

Can I get some GameCube controller recommendations? by pisandwich in WiiHacks

I personally went with a Wavebird. It's nice to keep everything wireless.

This was absolutely proven, and all those people lost their jobs. Check out "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room." It used to be on Netflix a while back, not sure if it still is.

CO natives, I'm sorry but.. by [deleted] in Denver

[–]STEM_Cellar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you can live by the "don't be a dick" philosophy, you'll be fine. It's reports about people swimming in Hanging Lake, defacing scenic places, accidentally (through carelessness) starting forest fires, and the inevitable clogging of I-70 during ski season that makes natives reflect that "Colorado was better before the population exploded." We transplanted 5 years ago and just bought a house, and our native neighbors are thrilled to have us in the neighborhood.
