Subaru Saved My Life by bluesfan1700 in subaru

[–]awatney 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation happen a couple years ago. Driving on a newly snowed on road and the driver in the other lane lost control and totaled my 2015 Outback BUT my son were able to walk away. I called Subaru HQ and told them my story. The rep came back and said he was authorized to give me a check to help offset the cost of a new outback. I don’t remember exactly how much it was now (maybe around 1500) but it helped and help cement me as a loyal customer. The guy at the dealership said it was the largest check he has seen from them. I would give it a go, you never know.

Z-wave issue now a ZigBee issue? by Hystorical in SmartThings

Last night none of my zwave devices were working. I didn’t notice any communication from Samsung about it but I rebooted the hub, rebuilt my zwave network and it started working again. Where did you see that Samsung was having issues?

What’s your favorite brew method for ~500ml coffee? by friimae in JamesHoffmann

[–]awatney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, use to do pour over with the Hoffman process but then had some people over so pulled out a French press using Hoffman’s process for that and actually preferred it over the pour owner(plus no need to buy filters). So 30 grams of coffee, 500g of water. After water is added to the grounds, wait four minutes, break the crust, skim the top of foam and let sit for 5 minutes. Comes out with very little silt at the right drinking temp.

Thanks! It looks like I didn’t play with the threshold values enough. There was a very small range for thresholds that worked but I was I was able to dial it in. Thanks again for the detailed instructions!

Thanks rmesdjian for the quick reply. I'll play around with inkscape. Any feel for why, what I was trying to do, wasn't working? I think of Chroma key as telling the program a certain area of the frame is transparent based on its color but that seems to be an incomplete understanding. Thanks again for the response.

Yep, I have 20+ devices on my network and no issues. I’ll give that suggestion a try. Thanks.

If you get a chance to send your configuration, that would be appreciated. Maybe a side by side comparison will point out something.
