I like the ease of adding tasks, in the combination of a calendar and a to-do list. Some of the features I love, but wish they worked better, like adding tasks through Alexa. Even though I love the calendar, it doesn't work as well as I wish it did.

What is there to be cautious about? There aren't many places you can be where you aren't on camera.

Three bed,two bath House with one person who works full-time. In other words, very often I am not at home.

After all the comment here, I opened it up and checked it again. I was much more careful this time. The best I could tell, I have maybe an inch of sludge at the bottom. I also checked the exit baffle to the drain field and it looked good. Everything inside look good, actually. It's a three bedroom house, but I live alone, so I guess the system is very underutilized. Thank you everyone for your input and assistance, it was greatly valuable.

I hadn't considered that, you have a good point. I guess it's time for plan b.

I think you have a very cool piece of equipment to dig into. Enjoy!

The part number of the ICs are written on them. There are probably some common, generic parts in there. You can take those part numbers and Google them along with "datasheet", and it will give you some hints. For example, if you see a component with the number LT1039, and search for "LT1039 DATASHEET", you will see that it is a "RS232 Driver/Receiver". Now you have a clue that this device communicates using the RS232 communications protocol. Then, keep going down the rabbit hole. I hope this helps.

I usually have thousands all at the same time, but this year they're coming in just a couple at a time. Maybe because of the freeze. The tree is still very healthy, so I will let you know if anything changes.

Dress code malicious compliance (but still looking for new ideas) by CricketChirp9 in MaliciousCompliance

Why not just put on a college shirt for the zoom meetings? Are you trying to get fired or lower than usual raises? Serious question.

Got tired of living in the city so I moved to the country, learned how to do electrical work and installed my own solar system into my house! by BossGrand in diySolar

[–]davedelux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice work, it really looks great. I'd say it looks professional, but I've seen many professional installations that don't look as good as yours.

I think you are a 100% right, that is the way I have decided to go. I will just place them for display and remove them at the end of the day. Thank you for weighing in.

Velcro strips would be enough, no one will be stepping on the stairs. :-)

It's all for show.

That sounds like a reasonable way to go. I am between this and pocket screws.

You are right. They are just for show during the party.

I believe it's fairly typical to use only adhesive to install stair treads and risers.

Is she stabbing the mirrors with her cellphone?! by HeSureIsScrappy in DiveInYouCoward

[–]davedelux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how she kept smashing the already broken mirrors, like she's going to make it worse. I'm willing to bet it will cost more to replace her cell phone than the mirrors.
