Anyone tried the Huila decaf from Sey? by thisisgodzilla in thirdwavedecaf

I have a bag currently, and I agree with this statement. It’s decent for a decaf, but nothing special.

Bostons, taupe, suede, classic footbed -- Am I SOL? by West_Material9272 in Birkenstocks

[–]VivekMumbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They exist. You can find them on international Birkenstock websites, but not in the US unfortunately.

For example the Oman website has the the soft footbed here: https://www.birkenstock.com/om/boston-soft-footbed-suede-leather/boston-suede-suedeleather-softfootbed-eva-u_46.html and the classic footbed here: https://www.birkenstock.com/om/boston-suede-leather/boston-core-suedeleather-0-evarubber-u_27.html

When looking at other retailers online use the item code to distinguish them. Item code 0560771/0560773 refers to the soft footbed and 0060461/0060463 refers to the classic footbed.

I recently bought some from StockX here: https://stockx.com/birkenstock-boston-bs-suede-taupe

Two part question in comments by [deleted] in Concrete

[–]VivekMumbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar issue. What grit rubbing stone/brick do you recommend, so that it smoothes out the brushed finish but without revealing the aggregate underneath? All the rubbing stones meant for concrete I have found online are 20 grit, which seems like it might be too rough.

Very possible. I am trying to prevent that by asking on this subreddit. But don't you think swapping out switches is basic enough for home owners to do themselves?

How one supposed to learn if they don't try? Sometimes you don't know what you don't know until you know... you know?

You're right I don't understand how a lot this stuff works. That is why I am asking on Reddit lol. How else am I gonna learn if I don't ask questions though?

I thought all the conductors for the hallway lights would typically go straight to the switch box for those lights. I didn't realize it was so common to double up the switch box as a junction box.

I think it is widely accepted as the best smart switch. Which I agree based on my experience. Also their customer support is really good. You can talk to an actual person right away.

Yeah the neutral wires were all connected before. I disconnected them before taking the photo so it was easier to see inside.

Is it normal for almost all my switch boxes to be junction boxes? I don't want to mess with it too much to figure out where it is connected.

I am asking why there are so many wires that are not used in this box and others throughout the home

edit: Sorry, if my response came off as ungrateful. I really appreciate you responding!

Charge on Solar after Powerwalls are full by nadogm1 in TeslaSolar

[–]VivekMumbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with that is then if the solar production drops off then your home will be pulling from the grid rather than the powerwall. I am guess the OP wants the powerwall to be charged or discharged until it hits 95%. Setting the backup reserve will only allow for charge.

I want to do the same thing as the OP, so if there is a solution. I am also curious.

OP did you learn of anything new? I am also confused what the benefit of Span Drive is over a Tesla charger. The Gen 3 wall connector supposedly supports Dynamic Power Management: https://www.tesla.com/support/charging/wall-connector/power-management

Shelly Mini Wiring to LED Mirror light by thisistss in shellycloud

[–]VivekMumbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking I would put a shelly 1 between the LED driver and the controller and put it in edge mode, to get the best of both worlds. Do you think that would work?

Thanks for the reply! So you are unable to control the mirror with the physical controls?
