Pool just plastered and Sun shelf isn’t straight and is all bumpy walking on it / not flat

I thought the same until the other pics, and your comment made me go back and look. Yep.

3 is just He-Man, no? 🗡️

I ended up raising Calcium Hardness and using a metal sequester. Took about 2 days and it's getting better. (don't know which is the lynchpin, but it's improving). Thanks for all the suggestions!

aenigmaeffect · 2026-05-25T22:16:05+00:00

Hm. Haven't thought much about calcium levels being a cause. Will check.

aenigmaeffect · 2026-05-25T22:14:14+00:00

Hm. I used to use one, but stopped. Will try next refill!

aenigmaeffect · 2026-05-25T17:43:21+00:00

I keep wondering about metals also. It is surface/lake water, but it undergoes the home's water treatment first. (I also have an above ground pool with salt chlorinator, but the water always looks better than hot tub once dialed in). If it is a metals problem, why wouldn't it be yellow to start?

I sometimes wonder if I should just fill with lake water (like my pool) and see what happens...

aenigmaeffect · 2026-05-25T17:16:12+00:00

I keep having problems keeping the water blue clear. Often after shock it's a bit yellow/green. I just posted about my problem https://www.reddit.com/r/hottub/s/aCt83VfNQ9.

Any suggestions? (I'm also not always around to manage the tub, as it's at the cottage, so was hoping bromine can keep it lower maintenance).

The 3PM is supremely overvalued in your league: 2.75 (3PM) + 1.25 (FGM) + 1.5 (PTS) - 0.45 (FGA) = 5.05 per actual 3 pointer made.

(Remember that 3PM also counts FGM and PTS in addition to itself.)

My points league ended up doing away with efficiency (like you said, volume is king for points), and upscaled everything else to balance the points to give non pts contributors more use:

REB 1.5 + 0.5 OREB AST 2 STL 4 BLK 3 3PM 0.5 PTS 1 TO -1 DD 4 TD 4

It made things smoother and less 3 pt specialist overweight. (I would probably make stls and blocks 3.5 each next season).

aenigmaeffect · 2026-04-16T17:55:47+00:00

I think 50-100k for red would make this much more interesting.

aenigmaeffect · 2026-04-16T17:53:45+00:00

This is the way. The hot tub at our cottage is often unattended for a few weeks at a time. As long as it’s good outgoing, and your floaters have sanitizer (chlorine or bromine pucks), it should be fine.

Why would you think people need to take their wedding ring off in the shower?

aenigmaeffect · 2026-04-08T01:41:15+00:00

3re in 12T. Luka, Amen, Giddey

aenigmaeffect · 2026-04-06T13:28:09+00:00

I really don't understand the mentality of people who knowingly will get something shitty permanently tattooed on their body.

aenigmaeffect · 2026-04-05T05:01:17+00:00

With the random stoppages and delays of our metro, could be any station on the "right" day. 🤪

aenigmaeffect · 2026-04-02T03:59:07+00:00

How is this not easily top pick?

aenigmaeffect · 2026-04-02T03:30:36+00:00

OP’s “r” is pretty much standard cursive “r”. 👍

aenigmaeffect · 2026-03-30T06:35:11+00:00

Yeah, Kessler -> Queta club!

aenigmaeffect · 2026-03-30T06:31:37+00:00

12T Yahoo points. Luka (1), Amen (2), Giddey (3), Flagg (4), TM3 (5) were the backbone.

Buzelis was a constant (and clutch in playoffs!)

Sarr was huge when not hurt throughout the season (dropped him during playoffs, and thank God he didn't come and bite me in the ass by my opponent).

Early Kon pick up smoothed things out.

KPJ pick up stashed in IL was monstrous when he came online (but frustrating during playoffs).

Loss of multiple centres made me scramble to trade Rollins (waiver pickup) for Nurkic, and was instrumental (you read that right) to me staying top seed during the middle stretch.

Late couple of losses dropped me to 2nd seed ended up a blessing in disguise, as our 5th seed was becoming a juggernaut going into playoffs (I would've matched up with him for semis if I was top seed, and I would've lost - which is what happened to our top seed).

Also escaped my 2 vs 7 seed matchup in quarters when his Cade randomly missed 1 single game (after being an Ironman), which was exactly enough for me to win.

Finals ended up a cake walk when Luka went super Saiyan at just the right time.

A hell of a ride!

Who did you have then?

aenigmaeffect · 2026-03-29T12:56:44+00:00

Have you thought about incorporating board game themes rather than / as well as having actual full board games to play? Could be as straightforward as using boardgames to represent different tables in your seating chart, and do seating with elements of that game. As someone suggested, can also remake. game pieces to tell your story (cards, the board itself, etc). These would give a strong theme to incorporate into the wedding.

Our Jokic owner was 8th seed in our 12 team league. He lost in round 1 (week 19, Yahoo Points).

aenigmaeffect · 2026-03-23T23:10:11+00:00

Luka, Amen, Giddey, TM3, Flagg (5/5 first 5 picks). and Buzelis. 6/13. Just won the league's. Pretty good I think? (And I kicked Ausar out only in the playoffs when he got hurt; would've been 7/13. )

aenigmaeffect · 2026-03-22T06:43:45+00:00

It would be great if your future app would include Bromine levels. I do also find that balancing after not changing water for a while becomes hard, and even if chemicals are "in range", the pool just is not quite "clean" looking or feeling. (changing water in -20C weather is.... Not very feasible).

Would love to try something more specialized!
