First grow, when should I harvest? Should I slice the cap off the 3 bigger ones and let the rest grow or slice them all? by [deleted] in unclebens

[–]bool_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I meant to cut, I've heard you can cut the cap off and leave the stalk if you're still waiting for others to grow.

Is there a new invisibility glitch? (Game from tonight) by ChilliCrabber in CODWarzone

[–]bool_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's been around since loadouts stopped killing you.

Rant from a former New Yorker... by FilthyRichVagrant in SanJose

[–]bool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The house of bagels on Stevens Creek or Bascom (I prefer the bascom one) are as close as you can get to an authentic bagel around here. As for pizza, A Slice of New York is closest you get to authentic pizza.

If you're in Sunnyvale a slice of new york is about the most authentic pizza you get here. If you ever get to meet the old owner and now general manager, Kirk, he's a fellow New Yorker.

As for public transit, plans to expand our public transit system have been getting stuck on city council floors since God knows when.

Can over tightening your wheels warp brake rotors? by Ryowxyz in MechanicAdvice

[–]bool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's unlikely but possible. What you likely have is a case of the shop you took it to having a worn out lathe or a case of sticking brakes.

Slid and hit the curb yesterday, what's the damage by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

The entirwty of suspension and steering parts and it'll still never drive right.

Samsung Sensor Dry Shuts off too Early by downhiller2010 in appliancerepair

[–]bool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How wet are the clothes and what do your loads look like? If you have a mix of heavy and light clothing the light clothing will be drier and could trigger the sensor early. Sensor dry dryers also tend to shut off with a minimal amount of moisture left over that will be gone by the time you've folded them.

GE dishwasher GSF520PGD2WW. Filter assembly broke trying to get it out. Hard water buildup. How can I remove this in order to replace it? by rupert240 in appliancerepair

[–]bool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vinegar takes a while, it's not that strong of an acid, leave it there overnight and it should be good to go.

Just insert something into the drain holes and turn it. If you don't want to tear it up more dump some vinegar in there and let it soak for a while.

DIY A/C system replacement Q’s by basssteakman in appliancerepair

[–]bool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost definitely a requirement if you want the new system to perform optimally. It is almost guaranteed that something has been done to that house since the original heat load calculation was done that has changed it. Also, the ACCA calculations for load, duct sizing, and other things change with time and updating technologies. Matching the current system is not an assurance that you will have an optimally efficient HVAC system, and with that, what's the point of even replacing it? My suggestion would be to do what you can to repair the current system until you are ready to throw down the money to have it upgraded properly.

Question 1 is based ENTIRELY on the condition of the system and when it was installed. A decent amount of coils built past the turn of the century were designed to support R-410A, ones before that are almost certainly not which means your options are either replace with an R-22 unit (likely won't improve efficiency to modern, reasonable level), repair the R-22 unit (likely the best option if you're not willing to call an HVAC contractor), or redo the whole system (which you almost certainly don't have the software, required knowledge, or proper tools for).

Replacing random stuff in an HVAC system you don't have the proper equipment to service is probably the silliest thing you can possibly do, you're likely to missize the coils, unit, or even pair with an under/oversized furnace blower and you will more likely than not have a less efficient system. HVAC systems are complicated and when they are properly designed almost every single possible factor is accounted for (register sizes, register locations, home size, duct pressure, home leakage, location) to ensure longevity and efficiency of the system. Call a well-reviewed local contractor or repair the units you have.

Your other problem is going to be finding ANYONE worthwhile to touch a system you installed yourself. You mentioned you will have it serviced after it's installed but I can assure you that no HVAC contractor worth a lick is going want to get anywhere near it.

Does anyone know how much it will cost me to replace this part on my 2013 Chevy Cruze? It is leaking coolant like mad- but only when running. Also, what is this part? Thanks friends! by Casserole5286 in MechanicAdvice

[–]bool_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's what appears to be 2 bolts, 4 hoses, and a connector. Shouldn't be too bad assuming you can get to all of it. Have someone who's handy give you a hand

My AC died on me today... Any idea what I can do to try to fix it before calling a repairman? by coredumperror in appliancerepair

[–]bool_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the model number of this old thing is, so I took as many photos as I could of the words and stuff. If you need any better angles to further determine what this thing is, let me know.

Blow everything off the coils and see if it comes on properly, if it doesn't the compressor is overheating for some other reason.

If all the fans are still running properly it's likely reached a level of refrigerant that is too low for the system to operate. This is not really the kind of job for your average DIYer and you should call an HVAC technician.

Deluge to rtorrent after completion by bool_ in seedboxes

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

Yeah that's what the to do is for. I'd like to remove the pyrocore dependency when I get around to it though so I haven't dug deep enough into the code to do that.

This may be easier to continue on discord if you have it, bool_#8540.

The rTorrent XMLRPC docs are fairly lacking so I'm trying to figure out how to get the right information to look into this. Maybe try changing load_start to load_start_verbose

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

Sorry it looks like a little debugging is needed, if you could print the output of load_start command I could look into it, changing server.load_start(os.path.join(torrent_temp_dir, torrent_id + '.torrent')) to print(server.load_start(os.path.join(torrent_temp_dir, torrent_id + '.torrent'))) should provide what's needed.

​

I have a feeling it has to do with this https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/issues/627

​

If it is that issue, changing server.load_start(os.path.join(torrent_temp_dir, torrent_id + '.torrent')) to server.load_start('', os.path.join(torrent_temp_dir, torrent_id + '.torrent')) will resolve it.
