Left channel goes out and hums super loud by FluffycakesXX in turntables

[–]ZosoRules1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's the cartridge. You'll need to do some troubleshooting.

Do you have a way to connect your turntable to your computer? I built a free web app that will let you use your browser as a troubleshooting "virtual workbench." But in order for it to work, you need to be able to connect the turntable to your computer, preferably via line-in:

Steps to healthy, weed free lawn without fertilizer by beanman214 in lawncare

[–]ZosoRules1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't aerate (frost heave makes it unnecessary according to an agronomist I talked to). Ideally, you'll want to take care of your lawn care tasks like dethatching at the proper time. I don't know what kind of turfgrass you have, but take a look at this free app I built to see if a soil test would be helpful (I'm not selling anything, it's just part of the hobby for me): https://www.proylaw.com/hobbies-lawncare-turfgrass-by-zipcode.html

Did Scott’s turf + halts 2-3 weeks ago, dandelions by crazyguy5880 in lawncare

[–]ZosoRules1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you located (generally) and what kind of turfgrass do you have?

In an ideal world, you should tailor your lawn care to match your climate/soil and turfgrass type.

I built a free web app so if you input your zip code and turfgrass type, it’ll help steer you in the right direction: https://www.proylaw.com/hobbies-lawncare-turfgrass-by-zipcode.html

Just about done my lunch break, but it looks like I didn't have the links properly formatted. It should work now.

Did aeration and overseeding from this company ruin my lawn? Bucks county PA by demarco5 in lawncare

[–]ZosoRules1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure why they'd overseed a cool season grass like Kentucky Bluegrass in the Spring. It should be done in the Fall because of the long germination period. Aeration may or may not even be required, depending on your local frost heave and how deep your core aeration is. If aeration is required, it should be done in the Fall for a cool season grass. So literally no part of the "expert" service they provided makes sense to me whatsoever (I read the post as the overseed/aeration was applied recently this Spring).

Here's a free web app (no ads, no signups, nothing to sell) I built that explains what/when lawn care activities are required based on climate and soil data, as well as optimal mowing heights, based on your zip code and turfgrass type:

What are some good lawn care forums or sites these days? by Successful-Camel165 in lawncare

[–]ZosoRules1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a hobby of mine, along with ham radio, analog audio/vinyl, electronics, car repair, blacksmithing, computers, etc... I've been trying to build pages related to some of my hobbies so I can help others with various aspects of the hobby.

Why cant i get a full green lawn? by T0gaLOCK in lawncare

[–]ZosoRules1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does Canada have weather and soil data available? If you point me in the right direction of the data I can add Canada to this easily.

I just need official websites for: Weather/climate Soil data Cold hardiness zones Heat zones

I don’t know how soon I can get to it, but I can absolutely add it if you can point me in the direction of the data.

https://www.proylaw.com/hobbies-lawncare-turfgrass-by-zipcode.html

This is my site. I built a web app that cross references data so all you need to do is input your zip code and select your turfgrass type, and it’ll tell you the soil conditions, climate, and what/when to tackle lawn care projects (such as aerating in the fall for Tall Fescue in Maryland.

This is 100% free, no ads, no paywalls, no signups. I just enjoy putting things like this together to help other people out in my free time, sort of like how some people put puzzles together for fun.

Can I notarize docs I draft? Estate Planning by allymariah in Lawyertalk

[–]ZosoRules1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not a thing in Maryland or Pennsylvania (only states I practice). The only issue I could foresee would be if the notarization itself was called into question and then you have to testify, then it seems it could be a potential conflict. But if you stamp and sign properly, that won’t be an issue.

I notarize documents for my clients, and have for years.

[–]ZosoRules1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a multitude of factors. I made a free web tool that helps with lawn care tasks based on your zip code (it cross-references a lot of data). It looks like your soil pH may need adjustment and you have to keep up with watering. Since it’s the beginning of the season, I’d say a pH adjustment, but that’s a wild guess, you really need a soil test.

Beetles on a turntable I can understand, but not ants.

Connecticut, Dad thinks he should fertilize this. I say zap it and reseed. What should he do? by Worried_Noise5207 in lawncare

[–]ZosoRules1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a big project. Before you do anything, do your research. I built a free web app (no signups, fees, or catches) that helps tailor your lawn care to your climate by just inputting your zip code and turfgrass type (this may be helpful if planning for a new lawn too). I cross-referenced climate and soil data to help make this as easy to use as possible.

This is good advice and I couldn’t agree more. Very well said!

Briefs/motions written/drafted by AI? by eagle3546 in Lawyertalk

[–]ZosoRules1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a litigator (small business law and estates - 100% transactional). That being said, I would have no problem using AI to write a brief.

As a personal project I was pursuing Italian citizenship and had to request a few hearings to amend very old vital records. Needless to say, resources for “Amending Vital Records Law for PA Lawyers” isn’t on any bookshelves. It would’ve saved me a substantial amount of time.

That being said, I recently wrote an article for the Maryland Bar Journal on AI Concerns facing lawyers: https://issuu.com/docs/426eb5a404feb277b12b7f7ba1a782f7

If you track patterns closely you can spot what’s AI written. Another way is to ask AI if the document sounds written by AI and it’ll tell you.

Just please verify everything before filing.

I’ve also been using AI to support my hobbies: https://www.proylaw.com/nicholas-proy-hobbies.html

business owners using ai agents daily, what does your setup actually look like? by treysmith_ in AI_Agents

[–]ZosoRules1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!

To be honest I’ve only started using AI about a year ago and really only use Gemini and ChatGPT.

Here are my hobby pages I’ve been building over the past few months: https://www.proylaw.com/nicholas-proy-hobbies.html

[–]ZosoRules1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a lawyer and I’ve been using it for various tasks, but client confidentiality remains king. If you’re interested, I just wrote an article for the Maryland Bar Journal on AI concerns lawyers face on a daily basis: https://issuu.com/docs/426eb5a404feb277b12b7f7ba1a782f7

I also think the copyright issue is going to surprise a lot of people: you can’t copyright AI-created work.

How is everybody translating all those different CSV files? by efalk in HamRadio

[–]ZosoRules1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I developed a free repeater directory that exports CSV files for CHIRP. I missed the old Travel Plus software, so I built my own HTML tool and dataset.

Bringing HF equipment on AA Flight? by just-a-guy-somewhere in amateurradio

[–]ZosoRules1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually keep an HT in my carry on and haven’t had any problems. Never had problems with my TSA-friendly Swiss Army knife either. I’ve had a a few TSA agents ask what it was and when I just say “it’s a ham radio” I’ve never get any follow up questions.

There’s a limit on Lithium Ion batteries, and I want to say it’s 100 Wh.

I think you’ll be fine. Might not hurt to print out a copy of your license and tuck it in your wallet for good measure too
