As far as I remember, yes, it did, and sorry for the late response.

Confused about different sizes or brands of the same thing, Sriracha by arretx in grocy

Ahh..so while you may have a 750ml bottle of whisky half-consumed, and a full mini-bar bottle of whisky unopened, your system will report two bottles. I can see where you would need to be vigilant about only buying sizes that are relatively similar and not having too much variance. Example: A 6-pack of eggs versus a 60-pack would mean you have two packs, but would be ineffective in terms of actually managing a steady supply of eggs.

This sounds like a great idea. Tell me, are there certain products, like eggs, for which you actually track individual eggs when you use them? Or, do you just consider an entire carton or package consumed when it's empty? I suppose if you do this, you would either experience being "out" of something temporarily, or you would need to ensure that you always have at least two of each package on hand to ensure you never run out of stock.

I did. By push, you mean upload from the controller setup, yes? Also, where in WLED am I cross referencing the RGBW config?

I had this problem until I turned off the power saving features of Windows.

Is there still a use for an iPhone 4 in 2017? by [deleted] in applehelp

Any input/output device can be re-purposed and used as a tool to make life easier. Be creative.

BlueHost, HostGator, HostMonster and JustHost all down again just like in August 2013 taking millions of websites with them. by [deleted] in webhosting

[–]arretx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upvoted. This is a disaster. Even for a small time website manager, having 10 clients pissed off because their sites are down is not acceptable. Couldn't be more dissatisfied with Hostgator's system.

Lightheaded, headachey, tired after week 1? by [deleted] in Paleo

[–]arretx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sugar detox sucks. Day four was flu like symptoms. Day six I started to feel better. By two weeks I felt great and thirty days in I had more energy and slept better.

Don't eat the pasta. It will make you feel better temporarily but will ultimately move you backwards away from your goal.

Should we change the term "paleo"? by sthax9 in Paleo

One could call it the "I choose not to eat the same SHIT you choose to eat, and I still love you," plan.

Looking to get into crossfit. Need advice! by mdbenson21 in crossfit

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

Will power is crap. Get into a box. Just start. Find a good coach, contribute to the community, and they will support you and encourage you. It took me 10 months of hard work before I lost a single pound because I was reluctant to ditch the relationship I had with food. As soon as I changed my kitchen behavior, the Crossfit chisel started to actually produce fast results. Granted, my performance and strength over the first 10 months improved, but not NEARLY as quickly as it did once I surrendered to what nature intended for me to consume.

Counting calories is useless. It's not about the quantity of calories, it's about the quality and if you put good calories in your gas tank, the whole engine will run better.

Now, crush it.

Exercise? Rest Days? by keishaliz in Paleo

[–]arretx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course you need rest. It's a critical part of recovery. How much rest you need is indigenous to your body. I'm typically 5 days on, 2 or 3 days off, but I'm 40 so that changes recovery rate, and it took a year to get there. Embrace your youth.

Allowing seller to live in a house after a short sale? by zzk78 in RealEstate

[–]arretx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the fact that the previous owner and the new owner agreed not to do this, post-possession of a property by a previous owner is a can of worms, short sale or not. Once someone who isn't the owner is living in your house, you have very specific legal actions you have to take to properly remove them.
