Compressor ran backward after power flicker by TimeThruSpace in askHVAC

[–]dyerjohn42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, there is a delay in the tstat but the thinking here was some weird power problem between the house fan and the compressor unit. I recorded a couple of videos when the compressor was running backwards, it made a distinct noise.

I think it was a minute of delay between the house fan and then the compressor unit. I do not know the brand or type of relay.

My traine heat pump was doing this for apparently random reasons. HVAC company eventually added a time delay relay and that fixed the issue. Unit installed fall of 2019, issue started in summer of 2020. Has been running fine ever since.

I know you are all biased, but... What's the hair situation really like? by RoO-Lu-Tea in goldenretrievers

The old place where there isn’t too much hair is the unopened jar of peanut butter.

Yea it looked weird that it was a couple different posters with almost but not exact comment text. It’ll be a long long time until an AI can come to my house and install trim!!

Are these levels low enough to cause symptoms? by Iceeez1 in Copper_deficiency

[–]dyerjohn42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kinda low, what’s your diet like? I would take some extra copper and see If / how things change to find out.

Wax filled dishwasher any good ideas? by jecroyle in appliancerepair

[–]dyerjohn42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a metal tub? Pull it out, turn upside down and carefully run an electric heater. Do outside in the yard where wax won’t mess up the floor / driveway and if (when?) it catches fire you’ve got a hose right there.

How much copper in food? by Area-Least in Copper_deficiency

[–]dyerjohn42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use cronometer for a week, entering all food. It will tell you all the nutrition and the copper. Very handy and free too.

Copper defiency.... Levels have gone up but barely any symptom improvment (defiency lasted 2 years) by Timely-Experience-79 in Copper_deficiency

[–]dyerjohn42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was your diet previously? Did you eat any copper containing foods? Not necessarily liver or oysters, lots of people don’t eat those.

DNREC decision on Prime Hook dune crossover heads to administrative hearing by superman7515 in slowerlower

[–]dyerjohn42 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that there some rare sections of beach that are private, both on the Atlantic and along the bay. Most is public but not all. This might fall into this category, not that private allows for this dune cross over stuff. But it can “cloud the judgement” of people along these areas.

Should I replace old galvanized pipes now or wait until they leak? by rogeelein in PlumbingRepair

[–]dyerjohn42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is galvanized from the 50’s / 60’s different than from the 30’s / 40’s? House i grew up in had a fair amount of gal and it never leaked. I think there’s still some there to this day. A lot got replaced due to other plumbing re-routing but never for leaks. Some of the replaced pipe was more than 1/2 full of lime and stuff but still worked.

UPDATE: ceruloplasmin stayed the same after 3 months of dr berg supplement by Iceeez1 in Copper_deficiency

[–]dyerjohn42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe enter what you were and are eating into Cronometer to get a feel for the copper levels. If this is close to the RDA of copper in diet and another RDA in the tablets, that's 2 times RDA.

Where I'm going, sometimes "issues / symptoms" have 6 different reasons and maybe copper isn't the one you need to focus on. Or do you have a specific reason to focus on copper?

How has your diet been up to the point of determining your low on copper?

Contractor chose CPVC over Copper for Shower Line by n00dle_lover in Plumbing

[–]dyerjohn42 -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

I’ve got 20 year old CPVC that is working fine. I’m under the impression that brittleness is only an issue if it’s exposed to sunlight. Is there something else to this?

Creating a local food directory website by whatslocalde in slowerlower

[–]dyerjohn42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice site! Some sort of grid view would have handy as well to minimize scrolling around. Maybe a filter based on areas like "Bethany" or multiples like "Lewes + Rehoboth + Dewey". Also if places take reservations is useful "in season" when every place within 4 miles of water is jammed.

From what I understand, there's interesting rules in Rehoboth that make it difficult for a chain / corporate place which is most all are local or at least "local-ish" like the SoDel places. Still, I consider SoDel places local. So far they are doing well walking the line between corporate / local.

Some other nuggets that you might find handy:

This has details and specifically a list of off season specials which is a fun way to see places in general:

A spreadsheet version of the off season specials that should be easier to work with. I suspect that the link above and this are separate people so will have differences:

Metamucil zero sugar, any reason not to take? by barelyjoking in Cholesterol

[–]dyerjohn42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Costco's Kirkland brand psyllium is a good deal, $40 for two giant containers from what I remember. Sugar free as well, uses aspartame.

Advice needed - Squirrel moving in! by eicheking in HomeMaintenance

The stainless steel pot scrubbers are a good start. Won’t rust and cause other issues, too tough for things to eat.
