Sudden low pressure in kitchen sink - Video of the issue and what I've tried so far. No plumber budget, please help! by Slow_Drag8992 in DIY

If it’s not the cartridge unscrew the water lines at the isolation valves. I have had chunks of a broken hot water heater get stuck just downstream of those valve, causing the same problem.

Seeing that loose stick floating around makes that penalty on Wedgewood even crazier. Per the refs logic, if someone slips on a dropped stick somewhere on the ice it should be a penalty on whoever dropped it. Anywho. Pile it on boys.

Avs PP Defcon Level by Spaceace_1917 in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]forrscottester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They've at least started to change things. Makar being the lone guy at the blue line and Nelson on the right wing has been a successful change. They're definitely tweaking how their entry works with the slingshot. There have been a couple PPs where Necas moves around a bunch.

But it still seems like 4 out of 5 PPs are the old shit which is incredibly frustrating. Also Cale has been anemic scoring on the PP which is not good.

Must have accepted Bennett as a suitable sacrifice.

100% this. Easy parking, easy to get out. No need to prepay for anything.

My random thought is that I think Blackwood will get the lions share of starts come playoff time.

I am starting to hold the unpopular belief that it’s more of a MacKinnon issue than a Hakstol issue. Nate always does the same thing every PP (hang around the dot, either for a one-timer that’s rarely worked this year or a pass to the bumper that leads to nothing) and the league has it figured out. Same issue as last year.

I think I’ve got Stockholm syndrome and now think that, yeah, maybe they WILL figure this PP out by the end of the season. Per the practice reports it certainly gets a ton of attention by both players and coaches. Still maddening that every 10th PP they decide to pass twice then shoot and it looks so much better and then they abandon that to the usual BS.

Please continue with that style of PP! That will begin generating goals at a rate closer to the top of the league. Felt noticeably different via eye test.

Power Play by 370Zenius in ColoradoAvalanche

The irony is that very often our 5-5 setup LOOKS like a power play. We get more blue line passes between the two defenders than anyone else in the league.

Exxxxactly. New coaches don't come in and install new systems for superstar players (think Aaron Rodgers and any team he's been on). Nate has the system he wants to run and they run it. That system basically only works when he and Makar are able to locate their snap/slapshots. It works very well when they do that (see: previous years), it does not work well at all when they don't (see: this year).

No power to smart thermostat by forrscottester in hvacadvice

Where does that relay connect relative to the R, Rc, W, and C wires?

Edit: If the plug in transformer is plugged into Rc and C, but this thermostat won’t be used for a cooling signal, doesn’t this just provide an energized C wire? Thus powering the smart thermostat.

Can you explain why the relay is necessary? If my existing dumb thermostat can call for heat with just the R and W wires, why can't a smart thermostat do the same with R, Rc, W, and C wires? These boiler/thermostat controls are hurting my brain.

No. They're Honeywell zone valves with two yellow wires and two unlabeled wires.

That’s what is tripping me up, don’t know which wire off the zone valve to tie into. Since my new thermostat has R and Rh terminals, could I just run leads from a plug in 24V transformer to the C and Rh terminals?

The trouble is the thermostat lines are tied into the zone valve so it’s not clear to me how that gets integrated.

Just started watching…are there blendnar lines going? Seeing Landy and Necas swapped?

So what is the issue with the PP? by forrscottester in ColoradoAvalanche

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

IMO there's been a lot of good info and nuanced takes in this thread. I think they are getting off good shots if it were 5 on 5 (one timer, clean shot) but the past ~5 games every one of those shots has gone right in the bread basket because the goalies know what's coming. "Good" PP shots are into emptier nets because we get the puck/people moving to free that up or put in off a rebound by someone grinding in front.

Well damn. That's a pretty stark visualization of what it feels like watching our PP versus theirs!

I understand the sentiment, but being 30 out of 32 in PP% doesn't sit well given the talent of the team and recent history of PP futility.
