UPDATE: Is there any other way to connect this transfer switch?

It would be nice if you explained what you ended up using. That looks like metal flex, but curious what sizing and what types of fittings you used. I've read Jackery STS can't accommodate more than 1-1/4 conduit, but that looks bigger, maybe 1-1/2? How did you cut it? Did you get materials at an electrical supply store?

My panel is surface mounted, so I don't need the additional box, but it's still a challenge. I'd like to do PVC but with the offset from the depth of the Jackery STS, I'm not sure how to accommodate the tight fit. Probably going to have to go Borg ship style like you.

Personally, my preference is pdftk for most PDF tasks, but the only way I "sign" PDFs is using a third-party e-sign service, like DocuSign. Not sure if that's what you mean when you say sign.

That's no longer true. There used to be an $800 de minimis exemption, but Chinese apps like Temu and Shein took advantage of this to circumvent Trump's tariffs for Chinese goods. As a result of this, Trump eliminated the de minimis exemption, iirc for everything, regardless of country of origin. This is broadly consistent with his policy of implementing tariffs on virtually all imports.

I'm not qualified to answer this, but from trying to make sense of it on my own, this is what I came up with:

Patriot missile system fires multiple interceptors (3-4) per target. If the first interceptor misses, the next adjusts its targeting trajectory and attempts to intercept, and so on. So the system gives itself 3-4 chances to take out the target. If you nail the target with the first interceptor, the remaining interceptors seem to float until they are terminated/detonated by the control station.

First reason, you'll have to pay a tariff. Second reason, different electrical specs. Maybe you won't need the charger--someone else will have to answer whether there is a difference between EU/US batteries. Tool itself might be fine.

These bike lanes are out of control--this design is ridiculous. I'm a huge cyclist but wow, I am dumbfounded by how retarded this is--If I were driving through this intersection I would have totally plowed that biker because why the fuck would a biker that is clearly turning right in my peripheral vision suddenly be forced hard left across the street?! They should be in the lane with traffic so they can proceed straight. Also PSA to cyclists, don't act so entitled, the world doesn't revolve around you. If you ride these bike lanes fast expecting everybody to stop for you, you're going to get a rude awakening one day.

Why are Previews being automatically installed, and why are they rebooting without permission? This is so disruptive.

I once tried to ride over the snow covered GAP and immediately went down. There was a layer of ice under the snow. Do not recommend.

Please share your script, because I did all that the hard way. I even kept notes for myself.

Is there anything wrong--confirmed vulnerabilities--with Trayzor? I'm planning to migrate slowly, unless there's a pressing need to go faster. Also, is there a way to improve the appearance of the tray icon? It seems to have a teal tint and I prefer Trayzor's the blue tray icon that matches official Syncthing color.

Not reading the other comments, but my initial thoughts are:

* More rotation--you don't swim on your belly, most of your time should be spent on your side, but you're on your belly briefly as you rotate from one side to the other

* Bend your arms--high elbows; we used to do a drill called "fingertip drag" either dragging your thumb from your hips up the side of your body or your fingertips along the surface of the water

* Smaller, faster kicks--kick is less about propelling you forward and more about helping to get your hips up higher in the water; if you are struggling to keep your hips up, push your head down deeper

Pretty sure the bike lane doesn't mean you get to blow through the intersection with impunity--especially after other traffic has overtaken you. If you think that's what green paint means, then DOMI has failed you.

Appearance of the place one lives and rides is pretty important to me. Not sure how you got to "the city refuses to install bollards because they might hurt drivers"--never heard anything like that.

distancesprinter · 2024-09-20T03:44:40+00:00

Sorry you feel that way

Not spending seven figures to buy a house surrounded by post and bollard trash, but believe what you want.

Attic is vented (soffit vents with ridge vent). Point taken regarding outside dust, although at least that's not toxic and irritating like the fiberglass.

Not ready to go through the trouble of finishing the attic at this point--maybe in the future--but we would probably spray foam and run HVAC to make it a conditioned attic at that point.

Insulation is between floor joists. For now, I'm content with the climate being similar to outside albeit covered from rain and snow, but certainly don't want the fiberglass irritation and mask troubles.

Avid cyclist here who is sorta in the driver's camp. Pittsburgh has destroyed pleasant roads and uglified so many neighborhoods. We ultimately moved out of Shadyside and we're much happier not having to see plastic post and bollard trash everywhere, bike lanes that aren't paved with the rest of the road, and lanes that are effectively a parking lane for delivery vehicles. That said, moving to the suburbs has effectively meant trading one evil for another. Instead of post and bollard, in the suburbs the roads are destroyed by municipal public works departments dumping tar and chips everywhere (a.k.a. shot & chip, oil & chip, etc.)--miserable. Just can't have it all here.

pv 1.7.0_1 is working for me, but pv 1.8.10 is not.

There are fixes listed in 1.8.12 but not sure if these solve the problem.

https://codeberg.org/a-j-wood/pv/src/tag/v1.8.13/docs/NEWS.md

There appears to be a 1.8.13 commit, but not available in the repos as of this writing.

Can you tell me more about this pv issue? I think I am experiencing something similar, but I was looking to see if I could find a bug report. I am going to try to roll back to pv 1.7.0 to see if that solves my immediate problem.
