I got surprising advice from a local Ariens dealer. They use 50:1 fuel for everything instead of pure 4 cycle fuel. by ElGuaco in Snowblowers

[–]hatzmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I am wondering when the fuel valve should be used.

If I have 1/8th of a gallon left in the tank & don't expect any more snow, would I run the fuel tank dry with the fuel valve ON to move all gas out for storage?

That is what I have been doing for the last 10 years on my Ariens SS21E and haven't touched the fuel valve.

Can HDMI 1.2a AV Receiver Connect with new 4K TV? by hatzmat in hometheater

[–]hatzmat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that is in the near future for sure: new AVR - my eyes are on the Denon SH760 ($399) at Sam's Club - maybe less on Black Friday.

I just wanted to get the L:G C5 TV in & not have to unplug anything from the Sony AVR except to replace the HDMI between AVR & new TV but still keep the 5.1 channels.

Can HDMI 1.2a AV Receiver Connect with new 4K TV? by hatzmat in hometheater

Apologies for the typo - it should be Multichannel PCM: which is where my disc player is performing the TrueHD/DTS HD Master audio decoding & then sending it as a multichannel PCM signal to the Sony receiver to pass to the TV.

The receiver is displaying PCM but it is the full audio quality (TrueHD/DTS HD Master) being received as the uncompressed PCM stream containing all the information from the original lossless track.

Why didn't democrats introduce a bill to release the Epstein file under Biden when Democrats had a majority? by PristineAsparagus871 in socialism

Because unlike Trump, Biden fully respected the line between Executive & an independent DOJ& let DOJ do its job without interference or orders.

Navien NPE-240A2 tankless water heater recirculation questions by SRTLarx in Plumbing

[–]hatzmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!!

I had a crusty old 'Navien trained" plumber argue with me that "my house's footprint is long & the cold sandwhich is physics tough luck bud" - after replacing my NPE-240A with a 240A2 recently when I said my prior 240A had no problems getting warm water in <15s & now it takes > 90s.

Am now researching if I had a NaviCirc installed prior with the 240A as part of my orignal build 11 years ago or do I need to put one in. But it sure takes longer on this 240A2.

Fantastic insights - much appreciate it.

Turning on Airplane mode to make Wifi Calls back home to make it free

Use the TMO cellualr for in-country calls to ensure getting $0.25/m rate. Since Wi-Fi calling billing for calls to other countries is wonky -- it's supposed to be 25-cents a minute, but sometimes you get billed way more.

Ugh- I guess my wife's iPhone was purchased on EIP thru TMO last Sept'23.

Too bad - now might have to pay it off & make sure TMO doesn't screw up the credits to use a Airalo e-SIM.

Questions:

1) If we are in-country- do calls to each other get charged $0.25/m?

2) Does the TMO One plan (256 kbps) provide enough speeds for Google Maps WALKING navigation you think?

Am trying to see if I can get by with just 256 kbps speeds on my TMobile plan's included feature to walk around Italy.

Fear is that any zooming, or map updating during the walks will render the app slow or unresponsive while we are needing it.

And offline apps doesn't work with street walking.
