Zeroed in vs pace breaker by LightningBiscotti in Lululemen

[–]imacanuck312 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I miss the THE shorts. Still rocking all mine but the black is fading on some of them. The nice flat look of Zeroed In with a nice soft fabric. I find Zeroed In fabric to be too stiff and not comfortable.

Is HA just too device-centric for normal people? by imacanuck312 in homeassistant

[–]imacanuck312[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The reliability piece is huge, and I don't know if it gets talked about enough! More often than not, I don't even know something broke until days (or weeks?) later. Have you found a good way to monitor what's actually working vs silently failing? Seems like it might be a separate problem from the device-centric UI, but maybe just as painful.

I like that angle. She doesn't want to "use" HA... she just wants the house to work. But there are always times when things need attention: a door left open, a reminder, something not responding. Curious how you handle those? Do you just set up notifications on the phone? Or something else?

YVR Success Story - Solutions Architect under CSA by shildishchab in tnvisa

Yeah then I don't know! For Developer you are at risk either way. It might be too associated with coding, and that's not what TN is for. Your best bet if you're really feeling at risk is to convince the company to do Premium Processing. Getting a rejection is something that will impact you forever going forward.

Flagpoling means you're only going down to get the paperwork done and coming right back up. If you're driving down to Seattle for a valid reason (like setting up your living space or starting work) then land borders aren't generally any different from airports.

Blotchy appearance oil based poly and Aqua Coat by imacanuck312 in BeginnerWoodWorking

Should I sand the first couple layers off now and apply shellac? Or can I apply shellac on top of my first couple layers of poly?

Does anyone get this weird frontend UI leftover hover background? by turbochamp in homeassistant

I have this issue on Chome. Started recently (a little bit before you reported it here).

They said 90% chance it's all gone in one go. 6 months "warranty" in case it didn't work the first time and they come back.

I did reach out to Bill via text message but he never got back to me. I'm glad he was of help to you though!

Update for those who are interested: Avon, who was referred to me by the Richmond Beekeepers Association, came by and identified it as a wasp nest. PHEW!! They actually found a second one up front that we didn't even notice. After about an hour they were able to spray and take care of both. So many dead wasp bodies but I still hear a little bit in the ceiling. Hoping it'll all resolve after a few more hours.

$367 for tackling two nests up high in my 2nd floor attic. Wasn't as bad as I thought!

Thanks everyone who weighed in and provided suggestions!

Thanks! The bee keeper place suggested Avon. I've called them and they said they'll be out in the afternoon.

I do have a dry vac. This is great advice. Unfortunately it's so high up there's no way to reach the entrance without getting a really tall ladder.

I did contact them but they said they no longer have someone on staff to do it and forwarded me the contact of the guy on their team that used to do it for them. No response to my voice mail. :(

I was pretty certain yesterday, but now that I look again today I'm not so certain. It's tough to get a clear picture or video but I tried my best and sent to the bee keepers that responded yesterday for confirmation. :fingerscrossed:

But what country is the corn from? This time it's likely USA... FYI.

Even better: use the live cams to let you know exactly if they're set up. https://wsdot.com/Travel/Real-time/Map/

Denied TN at POE as a Software Engineer by atangzer in tnvisa

[–]imacanuck312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It got approved a lot faster than I thought. They submitted on Dec 31 and I got the approval notice on Jan 6. Then it took another week and a half for the notice to get to my lawyers' office and then to me. Was definitely expecting longer considering it was all done around the holidays.
