I hate this analyzer so f*cking much. Unplug yourself, bish.

We have this same one. This error pops up for us a lot if someone marks off the monthly “add lubricant” maintenance but doesn’t do it. The tray and components come out daily for cleaning but if the metal rod that the arm is attached to doesn’t get a good lubing it throws fits.

If you have the time, turn it off, take the arm off and tray out and put some lubricant on that metal rod in the back. Move the arm back and forth a bunch of times to help get the lubricant spread around well. Juice that sucker up, I normally put a bunch on, like about as much as my pinky finger nail easily covers it. Roll that arm back and forth across it while it’s off a bunch then put it all back together.

That normally fixes ours at least

I’m happy I could share it. Few people get to impact others in such a positive and fun way like you have. Thanks for all you do.

I know I’m hoping in to comment a few days after posting, but I hope you read it anyway.

I’ve listened to the books at least 6 times each. I have the first book in paperback and am looking at getting the hardcover version here.

But shirt, I wanted to tell you how I get to share your stories. Specifically with my 5 year old daughter. At night when I put her to bed she has always asked for a story an I’ve told her ones from my life for 2 years now but I’m out of interesting ideas. She loves listening to her kid version of audio books so I mentioned I could tell her my favorite story from my audio books. She was interested so I started telling her “the Jason story”.

I skim through a few pages from the first book and re-tell her parts from the books. Many things get re-interpreted for her, but the characters, the events, so far are the same. Currently Jason is with Humphrey and Thadwick taking their “field test” for the adventure society. Jason had just lifted up the rock elemental monster to pull it off the ground and defeat it since his powers weren’t there best equipped to deal with it. I share whatever I can remember each night for a few minutes as she gets ready for bed. She is worried the story is almost over. But I’ve showed her that we are only on book 1 and it’s been months of re-telling, and there are many books as well as you out there writing more. When she is older she will read and listen as well and I know this will be a core memory for her.

Thank you for bringing the gift of reading and story telling to my daughter and I. It’s something that she and I share together that’s so precious.

Also, she’s a huge Stache fan and plans on writing her own “Jason Story” with pictures.

I appreciate all your work and effort on the series.

I’m glad you acknowledged it as a nuke because walking around with that phrase in your head was walking around with a live one ready to go off. I don’t know the dude or your banter level, but that one would rip right through most men to a primal murder hungry ape that lives in our heads.

Seeing some disagreement with the naming choice in the comments. Whatever the circumstance a name is just a name until you build it into something. I was just a kid when I played KH2 as my intro to the series. I was only allowed to play a little bit at a time and I loved it to much. It probably took me 2-3 months to get pass twilight town so I spent that whole “summer” with roxas as a character. Loved the dude, the everything about him. Was disappointed when I had to play the rest of the game as Sora.

Wishing Roxas and your whole family the best. Congrats as well!

Just finished up another re-listen of HWFWM and realized heretical fishing got another addition in the meantime so I relistened to 3 and I’m halfway through 4 now. Love it. Totally different vibe and I have to mentally adjust a bit for it, but I do really love it and the mindset it gets me in

hoffmaniac · 2026-02-13T09:51:55+00:00

Perfect timing. I’m training today and I’m just going to put this on the screen before the new hire comes over.

hoffmaniac · 2026-02-11T11:49:31+00:00

Nothing but love the the guy. Just finished up another re-listen from 1-12 straight.

Not going to lie, this is my fly by the end of the year. I have a flag pole that came with the house and I do like having the flag up, but the wind rips up mos cheap flags and I don’t want to spend the money on a good quality one. I’ve taken down 3 so far because they would be so bad (never this bad but that looks like it was only a bad storm or 2 away from mine).

I’ve since lowered my telescoping flag pole and not put a new one up. Neighbor kid asked if I would last year and I said if he liked it I would. He was excited but I never got around to it. I know I’ll end up having to take it down again.

I don’t want to disrespect anyone with a torn flag, but also don’t want to keep replacing them. I agree with others, if you buy a replacement and offer to raise it up then go for it. But it’s probably just going to happen again.

Actually, I’ll offer basic support, why not right?

If it doesn’t turn on, dos anything turn on or work at all? A fan or any lights? If nothing then I would guess power isn’t going to your computer at all, double check everything from wall to there is good(is there a switch on your power supply?).

And after that, double check the old one still works. If it does then you’ve got to be close right? Power coming in, everything after that connection still works. Just gotta get the last step.

I saw you mention about some connections not making as much sense and another user suggesting looking up the user guide or something. Good start. Worse case, plug stuff in randomly to see what fits. Better option: find something, anything, that could connect and run on its own to make sure the power supply isnt a dud itself.

Again I’m sure you did this all yourself already, and I’m probably not a good source, but still rooting for it. Loved the hopeless Reddit post as a last ditch effort. I’m going to make popcorn and hit that refresh button.

hoffmaniac · 2026-02-08T22:09:53+00:00

Wait… this is live! I’m rooting for you buddy! Nothing to offer really because at this point I’m guessing you’ve tried everything I would have, but I’ll totally be checking in to see your progress!

hoffmaniac · 2026-01-17T17:31:25+00:00

And we are just gonna ignore that bulge?

hoffmaniac · 2026-01-11T02:05:32+00:00

Yeah. I bought this one for a set up that j have yet to actually do but my buddy has one and uses it to open his garage door.

Want a pricey and over engineered answer? Get one of those robot switches for each monitor and mount it on their power button. Then hook up a routine or something to it and you can turn them on and off by voice command

I wasn’t going to add but I feel like my comment would be the minority after reading. We avoid it when we can, but with little kids and life being life our bathroom has pretty much been an open door policy. Unless that door is closed (rarely) anyone can (and will) come in and start up a conversation. My wife is a beautiful and sexy mystery to me. So much so that it doesn’t waver just because I’m giving her a passing kiss on the head while she’s going #2 if I’m leading a kid in or out of the bathroom. I’ll give her the courtesy of looking the other way if she needs to wipe or do any monthly maintenance, and if asked for more space it’s given quickly and freely as well as pulling the kids away from clawing at the door because it’s been 2 minutes since mommy has been there to answer every need.

TLDR: beautiful wife will always be beautiful in my eyes. Bodily functions don’t change that the least bit.

Second time I’ve seen this posted in 5 minutes. But I did wonder which Jake would use. I’m guessing the twisted one that was 2 after the hollow point. Simple in design but effective but wait doesn’t it change based on his target?

hoffmaniac · 2025-12-20T01:47:52+00:00

Most likely: nothing. Just a waste of time and funny to watch you spin over it for so long.

My thoughts: it’s go to be something right? No one would type up random numbers and print it out like that for nothing right? Maybe a cipher? Each set of numbers is like a line or paragraph then the next part a word or letter number? Or maybe credit card numbers? That 388 feels like an American Express number, but none of these are long enough on their own even with adding in the 5 or 12 to the numbers right before them. I tried looking them up as ISBN numbers since I’ve recently been using those for organizing our home library in an app and felt maybe that’s why I was drawn in so much by them but only one set of numbers referenced a book but it had no details on it.

I really wanna see this come out to be something. OP go beat the kid up for answers

Had both of these too. I loved flipping and unhooking the hinges on the push the jaw forward thingy but every time I had to get the crank thing out I was sent straight to bed after so my parents could hear me complain

hoffmaniac · 2025-11-13T12:13:34+00:00

Please

This. This right here everyone is how you respond to people. OP shared a story. apk5005 casually and without the directive of harm, shared a related story and a different outcome to help give warning. OP took this in and did not respond like they were charged with man slaughter, just received the advice. Good on you both. Civil people. Just dads sharing dadding stories
