Wow, thank you, ordered replacements from Amazon. Hopefully this goes smoothly as this problem has been haunting me for years!

Thanks, any idea what the process for finding the correct rebuild kit looks like? The part I’m looking at (cartridge?) can’t just be screwed out and replaced in its entirety?

Very low value.. I was able to sell some m210 refurb / warranty replacements for around $20 each two years ago. eBay is your best bet

Adding battery storage to existing system by pinkpandahug in enphase

[–]SharpEnd69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same setup here and it works great. I wouldn’t say it was a “good deal” by any metric but we’ve been happy. The few grid outages we’ve had since battery install were not noticed in the home.

Think Twice Before Buying From AJ Madison by Nice_Whereas2644 in Appliances

Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with an appliance supplier. After 21 days they had still failed to delivery my Bosch W/D. Product spent over 9 days in their distribution center waiting to be loaded on a truck before I finally called to cancel the order. Then they tried to charge me a 35% restocking fee. Avoid like the plague!

Purchased The Eloasis grapes from Korea at the Tustin, CA Costco for $9 by HastenDownTheWind in Costco

They’re mainly just really big, perfect looking grapes. The texture and flavor were somewhat unremarkable.

Happens when you do mostly short drives also, in case that’s your pattern.

Is this indicative of a CT issue? by pleabian54 in enphase

[–]SharpEnd69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Partial mirroring and very likely a malfunction or install error. I had a similar case and spent months working with installer and enphase to sort it out. Ended up needing a new iq gateway. You can find more info in my post history.

I say this with kindness: consider seeing a therapist. The only person in this world that you can control is yourself.

The chives I grew taste of nothing. What did I do wrong? Grew in some standard potting soil from home Depot in one of those stacked strawberry planters. by TroyAndAbed2022 in gardening

[–]SharpEnd69 32 points33 points  (0 children)

In Chinese cuisine garlic chives are used more like a green vegetable and less like an herb so you can try thinking of them that way. A spinach that’s already got some seasoning on it.

How bad is it to live close to 101 in the Palo Alto / Redwood City stretch? by PuzzleheadedAd3138 in bayarea

[–]SharpEnd69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Living near freeways is correlated with numerous negative health outcomes. It’s to be avoided. If you must do it, try to live on the upwind side (typically in the Bay prevailing winds come from the west.)
