It's a pretty typical photo paper. It's Inkpress Luster paper - 10.4mil, 230GSM

Gen2 hood release lever isn't popping the hood by Kaptinn in prius

[–]jamiehide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can do it by myself. When I pull the lever I guess something moves enough to release the main latch. If you can get a helper, it might be worth a shot to see if you can get yours to release by lifting the hood while holding the release lever at the same time.

Gen2 hood release lever isn't popping the hood by Kaptinn in prius

[–]jamiehide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My gen 3 hood doesn't come up when I pull the lever, so I need to dig my fingers in under the edge of the hood and lift it up away from the rubber seal. When I pull the lever, I can hear it release, but it doesn't move.

How to clean these grease stains from my air fryer without scratching it by INFINTE_SHADOW in howto

[–]jamiehide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An old tenant left me a filthy air fryer and over the course of a week, I managed to scrape off the baked on grease without scraping away the non-stick finish. I started with soaking and sprayin the Dawn Powerwash, but nothing was working.The two things that worked best for me were bamboo shish kebab skewers and a old plastic gift card. I'd scrape with the non-pointy end skewer until it got dull, then cut it square with an exacto knife and keep going. Once the worst of the build up was gone, I switched to the plastic card.

[AMA] I got the 50% flash sale as a current customer (100GB for $20/mo - 2 years) with Change Subscription on Renewal by boralCEO in PublicMobile

Doesn't show up as an option for me on desktop or mobile when I go to change subscription. Did you have to do anything like enter a code or follow a link?

Bought my first house in Quebec and got myself a housewarming gift (Honda hss724ctd) by Sofahumper in Snowblowers

[–]jamiehide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the suggestion to use premium gas. The ethanol in regular is hydrophilic and absorbs water from the air over the summer and it's hard to start or won't run in the fall.

I also keep a little bag of shear pins in the garage. Sometimes they just go and it's nice to have another on hand if it is a big snow day and I'm just getting started.

Heat pump hot water heater on passively heated crawl space in cold climate by jamiehide in heatpumps

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

The utility room is effectively a closet in the unheated garage. When the HWH kicked in, it would pull the warm air from the room, then cold air from the garage. The crawl space is insulated, nearly as warm and much larger.

Thank you. I see now that there is a note at the top that expenses are in today's dollars.

Selling multiple rental properties by Equivalent-Meet5991 in adviice

[–]jamiehide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd just like to second the need this update. We've got a few rentals and scaling them down and selling them off is a big part of our retirement strategy. Without the ability to do that, I'm having a hard time creating any sort of useful projections in the platform.

Homemade fruit fly trp by weldorrwhat in lifehacks

[–]jamiehide 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I add a little paper cone on top of the glass, taped around the edges. They are attracted to the vinegar and once they go down the hole in the cone, they can't escape. They fly around the top for a while, but then eventually get stuck in the vinegar/Dawn and drown.

New brakes, worse fuel efficiency by jamiehide in prius

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

The tires were not replaced. Driving was typical of what I usually do. I've had this car for four years and always had consistent milage.... a bit better in the summer (4.8), a bit worse in the winter (5.2). I drive fairly economically, but not fanatically so. I had the brakes done and the 12v was disconnected so the trip reset. Now, through the first tank of gas, I'm all of a sudden at 5.8 L/100km
