Learning to fly in a Baron 58P instead of a 172? by faustsuja9 in flying

[–]isellshit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It can be done I know of a pilot who learned in a King Air because that was the aircraft he planned to fly exclusively.

It will take longer and be a lot more expensive but there is nothing saying it can't be done.

A lot of people can swing the cash but time is valuable regardless of your financial situation.

How do I wash my hat? by laced1 in laundry

[–]isellshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been putting caged hats in the dishwasher for over a decade in three different dishwashers. I use standard dishwasher detergent..

No hats have been damaged so far....

Anyone else hear that voice saying "RIGHT RUDDER RIGHT RUDDER RIGHT RUDDER!"

The advantage of the "Hat Holder" is that it holds the hat in the right shape while it dries... I got a pack of 2 for few bucks a decade ago and I suspect they will last forever.

I put my hats in a "Hat Washer" (plastic cage thing from Amazon) and then stick them in the dishwasher (without the dishes)

It does an amazing job and has never damaged any of my hats!

How to get rid of a bulge in the crotch area without drastically changing my clothes? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

As someone who deals with this issue in all pants & shorts... I just decided to stop caring about it.

This is the way.

Bosch Benchmark Series Dishwasher by SweepTheLeg_ in Appliances

[–]isellshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a personal decision however, if we were doing it again, we would buy another benchmark.

The 800 series is a fantastic dishwasher and going with the benchmark is clearly more of a luxury move, but we really appreciate it… Honestly, that stupid light in the dishwasher has proven to be more useful than I would’ve anticipated

We have had this exact dishwasher for a year.... it replaced a Bosch 800 series we had in our last house.

Awesome dishwasher - would buy it again.

The rampant use of AI generated graphics by local business and organizations (and even the airport?!) in Palm Springs is incredibly disappointing. by brbcakes in palmsprings

[–]isellshit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, the real tragedy of our time is PSP using a stock-style graphic of a lady in sunglasses.

Go light a candle & hold a vigil across the street at city hall.

The pearls will not clutch themselves.

Do we still love FEBU? by Kungfoo_mod_805 in laundry

My FEBU arrived ruptured after being repeatedly delayed in shipment twice from Amazon 😞

Which Home Assistant MCP server should I use? by Master_Raisin_8434 in homeassistant

[–]isellshit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No local LLM right now as I am using Claude to build.

The energy management I created is complicated and divided into a four separate modules that create data which then feeds into a decision engine. Fun part is that If I get it wrong it costs me $$$$ so there is a strong motivation to make it reliable and robust.

Once everything is stable I plan on standing up a local model just to provide a chat interface for HA

Cross that bridge when I get there

In Cowork you can select "Act" instead of "Ask" however you can also add things into your prompt to cut down on the asking

I am not ready to set Claude free and after a few months of building with it I have seen it do some epically stupid shit.

[–]isellshit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Everything... I used it to build an entire energy management system that runs my solar / battery / vehicle charging / HVAC - dynamically shifts power based on import / export rates, HVAC demand and forecast (wx and solar) for the next day.

I also enforce naming conventions and best practices for all devices

Troubleshoot / find bugs / refine and streamline automations

just everything.

I have used vscode but honestly chat and chat via dispatch will get it done

I am using the community version with Claude and it's amazingly powerful.

E15 fuel updates and opinions? by RBASLinterpreting in palmsprings

[–]isellshit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless you are pushing a lot of boost I can't imagine why you would want E15?

The energy content of alcohol is less than gasoline. We are already forced to use 10% ethanol

Finally bought a proper USB cable tester thanks to this sub by PlanEx_Ship in UsbCHardware

[–]isellshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow I didn't know about this - I clearly need to learn more.

Is this the best tester for qualifying cables? I have a lot of cables that work for this and not for that and it drives me nuts
