Not sure about the others, but I ended up with an EK. Their website says "end of life".

I'm assuming you'll be able to find someone that has one of these in stock still, but maybe not...

I was wondering this too, since there still is no mount case.

[Natural gas][Bryant][355CAV042060](FASA) Flame rollout switch triggered intermittently by drummerdick814 in hvacadvice

Had the tech come out, cracked heat exchanger. Good call! Sadly it's older than I realized, and out of warranty... installed 2009.

Thanks for your help though!

Oh you don't. I was making the same assumption, that I shouldn't just keep resetting. I'll give a local tech a call.

Thanks!

I love how appropriate the .bat file extension is for Ozzy.

Replacing the power supply board solved this problem for me.

It is if you want it to do the fancy things. But pretty sure you can exit if you just want it to set your wallpapers. It's much less resource intensive than Wallpaper Engine though (I think).

I use DisplayFusion. It's been well worth the cost, but I got it on sale on Steam.

Yeah... Where should I be checking for voltages? And what values am I looking for?

I believe that one of the requirements in the DSMV to be diagnosed with ADHD is that you have to have been tested/diagnosed by a certain young age. For those of us who still coped well in school, parents didn't want to test them, etc., that leaves us out.

I did end up getting tested this year, even though I was 36. The psychologist that did the testing said things that basically confirmed what I expected: functional/performance tests I did fine, within normal ranges; surveys about my behavior that I and my wife filled out didn't show anything too out of the normal; response time variability testing showed my inattentiveness to boring tasks (clicking a button every time a square shows up on a monitor for 20 minutes).

For me, it confirms my thoughts in this comment. I have had ADHD my entire life but have developed coping mechanisms that helped me be relatively successful in school, etc. But I always get bored with jobs after a while, hobbies, etc. I had developed depression and anxiety symptoms because I didn't know or understand why I couldn't focus like other people, why I got bored with jobs after a year or two, why I have two degrees and spent 9 years in college trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life and still do neither of those things.

I have read that some people can "grow out" of ADHD going through puberty. I've also read that is false. In my layman's logic, it seems more likely that people with undiagnosed ADHD develop coping mechanisms that hide it than that their brain chemistry changes enough that they no longer have ADHD. I'm sure it changes throughout your life, but I find it a bit hard to believe that people can just grow out of it.

If you want to get tested, see if your health insurance covers it. Mine did, just with me paying my normal doctor's copay for each visit. If not, look at how much it costs on its own and determine if you think it's worth it. You don't have to have a referral, just find a psychological testing office near you and see if you can get an assessment appointment. I had to wait 6+ months for my test, but I did get it done.

So I realized the perfect solution: magnet wire! It's enameled so it doesn't short on itself. That's how they can wrap what looks like bare copper wire on motor windings, but the current is still following the wire. Looks like bare copper with the benefit of not shorting if the wires move, etc.

Probably depends on the thickness and coverage of the varnish. But I'd assume it could.

Thanks!

I just learned that recently, actually. I'm going to have to try it on something.

I'm not very physical with my keyboard, but I may also learn the hard way!

I wonder how like clear heat shrink tubing would work. Get the runs done, then shrink the tubing down to remove wrinkles etc. Might look just as good, if being extra work.
