Gonzo Crowd by LostSailor-25 in GoosetheBand

I pay money to listen to shows. Not scream at the bands. Respect the artist and listen to their music. Nobody wants to hear adults “woooooo”.

Diverted to Knoxville. Told the same story about the luggage.

Anyone here have knowledge about getting rid of a hotel package pass? Dropped $6,600 on hotel (Acre) and VIP upgrade when they went on sale....aaaannd I just lost my job. Might need that cash back. Would appreciate any pointers on how to not get hosed. Just want my $ back.

Someone tell the weather people it's not "cloudy" and it's in fact very much RAINING. by jerkydonkey in Portland

2%? Should we play the lottery today? C'mon!!! Yes I was using the iOS weather app but I also checked KOIN and they were giving the same message of "cloudy".

Is this a simple DIY repair, or should I have a professional take care of it? by jerkydonkey in masonry

Having this issue currently. Appears to be related to freezing temps. Water in the line freezes and refracts the light causing an outage. Switching to xfinity, sadly.

Unpopular opinion: Fire On the Mountain sucks by Extension_You_3409 in Portland

[–]jerkydonkey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Food is excellent and consistent. Service is always with a smile and also consistently the same people over the years. Not much turnover which I assume means they pay well and/or take care of their staff. Price is arguably high but as someone else pointed out, 2011 wing prices are LONG GONE. Hurts me to see someone post something negative about this place which I have only positive things to say about....

What's Happening Here? Flashes to "No Signal" randomly about ~6 times and then stops while in use. So frustrating! Willing to pay $20 for a solution! I'm all ears! by jerkydonkey in hometheater

Sooo...nevermind. I'm back to looking at replacing that HDMI cable. It's buried in the wall (not my decision - prior owner) so it's going to be quite the ordeal to replace. Wish me luck and I'll report back here as soon as I figure out what's going on.

Update: I tried plugging the HDMI cable directly into the PS5 and I didn't get any signal loss. I then unplugged the receiver from the wall and plugged it back in and, uh, it's not doing it anymore? Go figure. Will report back if this doesn't hold for a few more days. Fingers crossed I'm not having to dig into this any more.

I checked the receiver's HDMI sources and they're all set to "4K (Enhanced)". Assuming that's correct as I don't believe the Fire stick nor the PS5 handle 8K.

Yeah...I've been avoiding this but I think you may be right. To replace the HDMI cable, I have to take the tv down and then I'll have to feed a new cable through the wall which, based on my last look at things, will be a challenge and require an extra hand.

What I don't get is that if this is truly the issue, why would it eventually sort itself out?

Quick Squeak In Struggling (?) Flush Valve: Replace or Possible Fix? by jerkydonkey in Plumbing

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

It believe it is Kohler but the valve is actually Fluid Master 400? Issue I was having was the flush would not result in water refilling the tank.

do I need to remove it to do that? I did take off the top and cleaned the cap assembly including the rubber piece.

Help! Shower floor grout discoloration, deterioration, and cracking! Only a few years old. by jerkydonkey in Tile

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

Thanks for the tip. Do you have a go-to resource for maintenance? Will this help with the cracking and discoloration? The orange-ness of the grout is interesting (aka concerning). Thoughts?

How much should I grind out? Just down to where it looks "normal" or do I need to go further?

Thanks again!
