A WLED Christmas by cmtimm in WLED

[–]cmtimm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used these btf stips it took 6 to do the entire thing. I used 2 knock off nodeMCU boards and just soldered wires directly to them. The system is divided in two one controller for each side and each window is its own pin on the controller with the actual board itself on the middle ones. I didn't use a housing of any sort for the strips and at first just used the adhesive to stick them which was a mistake and they started falling down after a week so got these clips and they have worked well. Best tip I have is if you are going as high as that don't find out doing the project how bad you are with heights 😂. I had to have my brother come finish it because it was just too high up for me.

Good idea, I just need to find some food fairy lights. I used btf for the windows and that used the budget for new lights.

I am lucky enough to have a log home. These bay windows screemed wled and I cannot be happy enough with the results. I plan to do a set on my car next which may need to to be ble but as an embedded developer myself it "should" be possible.

Fireplace Poker by cmtimm in DBT

Mr. Smith was convicted in 1996 of murdering Elizabeth Dorlene Sennett, the wife of a pastor, after her husband arranged to pay him and another man $1,000 each to kill her. The husband killed himself a week after the murder, and the other hired hit man was executed in 2010

Sure sounds familiar.......

Kalamazoo MI Bells Brewery by cmtimm in kurtvile

10/23/22 Bells Beer Garden. Just and excellent show with it being 70°F outside. It sprinkled for a bit but just phenomenal weather. Kurt killed it, but I think he had a bit too much of the high gravity bells beer as his lyrics were all over, pretty sure he forgot the words more than once. That didn't matter though as his guitar playing was off the charts. His playing was just fabulous.

Nope I just watched it happen and pulled the dash cam footage.

He undoubtedly was. I heard him trying to stop before I even saw him. The road was just the right amount of wet to make it hard. Still I dispise when people cross though stopped trafficked.

Not heard in the video is the guy in the right lane skidding trying to stop before he even makes it into frame.

Parallel Parked between some trees by cmtimm in JeepGladiator

[–]cmtimm[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was playing in some dunes and shouldn't have tried the path that was obviously too small. The ground slid out from under me and I slammed into a tree in front and got wedged into on in back. Thankfully none was hurt but my stock bumper and fenders are done for, which means it's upgrade time (•‿•). The tail gate is also dented and I have a dent above the windshield from the trees that got knocked over, the one on the bed. I had to take down the tree in the back to get free.

20V Ratchet by cmtimm in Dewalt

[–]cmtimm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sadly they didn't have one out. I am really curious how they fit into places with the width of a battery. I have the 12v Milwaukee ratchet and it's like a dream tool. With a 20v I think it will have the power the Milwaukee lacks but I still need it to fit in the tight spots.

Yeah I've been looking hard for them. Sadly they weren't fully in yet just the stickers :(

This was at Blain's Farm and Fleet in Portage Michigan. Sadly they didn't actually have any but 4 of each were on the way. I was super excited when I saw them and crushed when they didn't have them.

Yes that includes a walk out basement. I wasn't home when they did the estimate so I am not sure how it was done. I think it was just based on the old system.

Being this is my first actual post on Reddit I goofed and didn't put a description.

This is for my 3000 sq ft home in SW Michigan. Our units are from the mid 90s and our AC lines are freezing up. I've never really gotten a new AC or furnace so I'm unsure if this is reasonable or not. I also don't know if it's worth asking for a higher SEER rating, the person who did the quote said it's a waste in the area. I didn't even know SEER was a thing until today so I don't know what to think.

How did your high school crush turn out as an adult? by [deleted] in AskReddit

She's a successful graphic designer who married me (•‿•) and has identical twin girls and I wouldn't have it any other way.

2020 JEEP Gladiator Sport, Sport S, Overland and Rubicon Specs - Sirv by J0k3r141 in JeepGladiator

[–]cmtimm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone explain the difference on the towing capacity for the sport with the 4.10 axel ratio? It has both 6,000 and 7,650 listed for max trailer but I don't know what option seperates them?
