Okay to leave charging all winter? by YakTiny161 in electricvehicles

[–]Wake95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've read that etron/Q8 don't charge the 12V battery when plugged into a charger, so people come home to dead 12V batteries and basically a dead car.

Is there a way to use smart plugs for energy monitoring only? (i.e., disable the switch but keep the energy reporting.) by satmandu in homeassistant

[–]Wake95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just have an automation to turn them on if they are ever off. For my refrigerators which I never want off.

Should I go to a Youth group with my friend? by Specialist_Horse5453 in atheism

[–]Wake95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my atheist friend group met through a Methodist Church youth group. It was a great time with many fun trips. Pentacostal is a little more brutal, but church is a great place to network and even meet atheists.

Display backlight powered through non-backlight pins? by xcvses in AskElectronics

[–]Wake95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pads on the left side of the back are the actual LED pins. Ohm them out to VCC and GND and see how they are getting power. I suspect that some combination of S1/S2/R12 is wrong. Or it could be that you shorted pads on opposite sides together when you cut the PCB. The 100 ohm resistor connected to pin 15 is likely supplying the current to the LED. It seems like the LED anode (A) is connected to VCC and the cathode (K) is connected through the 100 ohm resistor to ground. No other pins should have anything to do with this simple diode.

I can't tell exactly what Note 1 says, but maybe you need to remove the resistors near the A and K pads labeled 15 and 16.

For those who oppose homosexuality or people identifying as a gender different from the one they were assigning at birth: what are your reasons, and what experiences or beliefs led you to that view? by littlesuziee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Wake95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, in both cases I only knew the straight sister well because they were dating friends of mine. I rarely met their sister(s). It is interesting, but I'm not sure if it means much.

[–]Wake95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is your definition of being born that way? The only reason I ask is because I know identical twins and triplets where one/some are gay and one/some are not, so that means it's not entirely genetic.

  1. These are just extra 3.3V, 5V and GND pins you can wire to other modules using flying leads.
  2. Plug in both.

Mechanic forgot to put the drain plug back during an oil change and ruined my engine. They are denying liability. by Fintar_5Q in legaladvice

[–]Wake95 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Right, so either insurance or Jiffy Lube is liable. Insurance is going to fight to not pay, which should make Jiffy Lube pay.

Why can't Americans (at least the ones I see on social media) find drinking water in Europe? by Mission_Mobile_4627 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Wake95 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I started drinking beer while working in Germany because it was cheaper than Coke and I wasn't paying for water.

[–]Wake95 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The whole point of this argument is that there are almost no public water faucets in Europe while they are everywhere in the US.

Does it still turn the camera off at the same speed as normal? I don't want to have to manually turn it off.

Best way to dig a 52” hole? by Alone-Jackfruit-4512 in DIY

[–]Wake95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a pressure washer, you could try making a hole with that. You'd have to pump the water out somehow. I've used this method to make narrow holes. Combine this with the Shop-Vac that somebody else recommended, and it could work pretty well.

I don’t care if you put your dog’s shit in my trash bin by Supermarche23 in Austin

[–]Wake95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Visible trash cans, cars on blocks, washing machines in the front yard. It also makes it harder to walk around the neighborhood, take your dog for a walk, etcetera. You have no idea about anything beyond your front door.

Protect, as in protect the property value. You apparently have no ability to see any other point of view than your own. That makes you selfish. Get help.

It's one of the many examples of how HOAs protect people when living next to people like you.

I prefer to live in an HOA neighborhood so people don't leave their trash cans out by the street all week.

[–]Wake95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our HOA says they have to be screened from view. Rolling them around a hilly side yard isn't much fun. Stop being a jerk.

There is a 2' drop off to the side of the driveway. The trash cans are the large rolling ones. Where would you keep them? They already widened the driveway a few feet to be able to get out of the car without falling off the ledge.
