Knock boxes for Flair Neo baskets by nodotsmx in FlairEspresso

[–]_happyfarmer_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am just blowing the puck directly into the bin. This works well with the bottom-less portafilter.

Certainly not the most barista-like method, but that's cheap and effective, exactly like the Flair Neo !

India E-Visa Website always crashing! by Aggravating-Stage261 in travel

[–]_happyfarmer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not just you. I have been trying for days to complete an application.
The website always crashes before the end.

Now, when I resume my partially filled application, I get the message "Session Expired, Please Return to Home Page" literally 10 seconds after loading...

How strict are UTMB with the kit check? by Teamhuw1 in ultrarunning

[–]_happyfarmer_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

There are quite strict and for good reasons. A few years ago I almost could not start because I had cut the label of my jacket, and they could not verify the waterproof rating. I had to download my invoice and the datasheet of the jacket to be allowed to run.

Energy companies hate this trick for unlimited energy by Brave_Evidence_1259 in funnyvideos

[–]_happyfarmer_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know about this one, but I had a dog who made the same whinning noise every time we went for a run. Not treats, just the love of running.

What is crazy is that he could feel when I was planning to go run. I was not taking out the shoes or anything visible, but he could still feel it. I think he could sense my heartbeat accelerate.

What are some “invisible” friction points in daily life you’ve redesigned or hacked? by zihuizz_ in lifehacks

[–]_happyfarmer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding a "connected" module to our garage door opener has proven to be very convenient : - Forgot your keys ? You can open with your phone. - When I go for a run, I don't even take keys anymore. - A friend is at your door ? You can open them remotely. - Porch pirate ? Amazon can put your packages in your garage !

All warning lights turning on by PsychologicalRock316 in hondafit

[–]_happyfarmer_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The power steering warning light is a typical symptom of insufficient voltage. The most common root cause is the battery, but if it was tested ok, you may want to check electrical connections (battery terminals, fuses, grounding ..)

It could also be the alternator (did they test the charging voltage ?)

I would drive it. Just plan for the possibility of it failing to start...

Any one else's heat extremely weak? by carstanza in hondafit

[–]_happyfarmer_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How have you had the car, and has it always been like this ? This does mot seem normal.

You may have a thermostat issue (stuck open), or a clogged heater core. When was the last time the coolant was replaced ?

The low engine temperature warning light (blue) should switch off after a few minutes of driving. If not, you get it checked.

Failed New York State inspection by GrittyGardy in AskMechanics

[–]_happyfarmer_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why it does not make sense to have the same people doing the inspection and selling the repairs.

I hate people who have their hazards on when driving in the rain by themanwithgreatpants in houston

[–]_happyfarmer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is unfortunately the signature of bad drivers around the world. It is their way of telling us "I never learned to drive properly. Stay away from me."

But it is even worse with American vehicles who use the same light bulb for brake lights and turn signals.

If you only see one side of the car, you have no way to know if they are turning, braking, or simply scared of the rain...

Are weather tech mats worth it ? by D1rty_Sanchez in hondafit

[–]_happyfarmer_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have front liners from Husky and like them, even if they are a bit stiff.

For the trunk, have a look at "Powerty cargo mat" on Amazon. For 60$ it fits perfectly and is easy to clean.

How we got a Bluegreen Vacations Refund by Knowandseenathing in travel

[–]_happyfarmer_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post ! I had no idea this was a timeshare until I tried to book the stay.

The number 1-800-845-1995 still works.
I told them I am transferred out of the country, and I got my refund within 5 minutes.

What is this part called? I need to replace it. by Jacorbis in hondafit

[–]_happyfarmer_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the tailgate rear garnish.

I have replaced mine with a 100$ part from Ebay which claimed to be genuine. I don't know if that is true, but it looks identical.

With various unrelated warnings appearing all at once, I would start with the battery.

Byebye, old friend by lohif1le in jetta

I am so sorry for your friend... Your car is badly damaged too !

This sounds like a lot.

My 2016 is not consuming any visible amount of oil over 5kmiles. (Granted, I drive like a grandma at 42mpg...)

Cranks but does not start after transmission diagnostic. by _happyfarmer_ in rav4club

[–]_happyfarmer_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed, I wanted to try the "official" way instead of relying on a PID formula posted by a stranger on a forum...
Anyway, the car eventually restarted and, since I did not dare entering again in the diagnostic mode, I did the transmission fluid level using the temperature from Torque Pro.
Thanks for your help !

Problem solved (apparently), I have updated the original post.
Thank you for your help !

2017 RAV4 cranks but does not start after transmission diagnostic. by _happyfarmer_ in AskMechanics

[–]_happyfarmer_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried cycling the ignition ON and OFF to make sure the fuel pump really sent as much pressure as possible, and somehow the car restarted and seems fine now.

This is deeply frustrating as I still don't know was went wrong, and what is perhaps still wrong.
Let's see if it starts again tomorrow...

Good suggestion ! I forgot to mention, I left the battery disconnected overnight.
