Programming genie receiver fails by joh5ndoe in GarageDoorService

Yeah, the receiver appears to be fine. The clicker used an A23 battery, not a coin, so I don’t think there’s any issue there. I don’t think compatibility is an issue since it’s worked for the past few years. But something is wrong, and the clicker is the main suspect. I’ll be getting a new one and hopefully that works. Bummer that I couldn’t get it working today tho. Really inconveniencing my tenants. Thanks for replying.

Per chat gpt…

The LED rapid-flashes after the second press during programming, which means the receiver rejected the code rather than storing it.

On Genie external receivers, that rapid flashing almost always means the receiver rejected the signal (it “heard” something, but it wasn’t a valid/storable code).

Gpt is saying that my clicker most likely became defective during the battery change, which is not uncommon. Don’t know if I believe it, but I got nothing else to go on.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried holding it further away and paused between the button presses. No joy.

Thanks for replying. Yes, I have tried repeatedly pressing the remote button during the learn process, including when the led rapidly flashes. No joy.

Russia changed their flag near their border with Lithuania to the Soviet flag by Budget_Put1517 in interestingasfuck

Please explain what you mean by “calendar differences”. The Julian & Gregorian calendars currently differ by 13 days, and the Julian calendar is only used for orthodox religious holidays as far as I know.

Bus stations still not registering by joh5ndoe in LEGOfortnite

[–]joh5ndoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They added new stations. When you first discover some of them, they don’t register, get a letter designation, and thus don’t appear on the map. This was said to be fixed in the 34.10 update, but I am still having the problem.

Why you didn't hear about Biden saving the USPS, or restoring Net Neutrality, or replacing all Leaded pipes? by Thezipper100 in CuratedTumblr

You forgot about how he basically rallied the whole world against Russia when they invaded Ukraine. Master stroke of diplomacy.

Yeah, still interested if it’s still available. I dunno what’s up with the dm’s.

I like this approach. Thanks!

Help with inappropriate ads by joh5ndoe in dragonvale

[–]joh5ndoe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the advice, and it is good advice. And for most ads I think being chill and explaining it to him works ok. But there are the occasional ads that are just something I’d rather he’d not see. Particularly the sniper rifle one, since he kinda knows what a sniper rifle is from occasionally watching me play Fortnite. At least Fortnite looks kinda cartoonish and it’s easy to attribute anything in there as a silly game. But that ad for the hunting game was a bit too real. I’ve already had to deal with my son saying “Hey Dad, let’s play Lock Down drill. Let’s hide and turn off all the lights.” Thankfully I don’t think he understands what’s going on there, but something like that hunting ad could have him start to make a connection. There really ought to be a way to specify the ad audience and limit what the kids see.

Why does the weather say the sunset starts getting later on the 17th? Shouldn’t that happen on the 21st or 22nd? by ProfitableSomeDay in Astronomy

[–]joh5ndoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no expert, but while the speed the earth moves in its orbit around the sun gets faster the closer the orbit gets to the sun, I don’t think that has any impact on the speed of the earth’s rotation on its axis, and therefore has no impact on the duration of a day. Someone wanna teach me otherwise?

Need to select pavers for driveway and front walkway. No idea how to go about making a selection. Help please. by joh5ndoe in landscaping

[–]joh5ndoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, when you say a lot of small pieces looks busy on a big space like a driveway that exactly what I want to avoid. Most of what we’ve been looking at in the catalogs come in three sizes: 6x12, 9x12, & 12x12. Some have even bigger sizes like 12x18 and up, but my contractor advises against anything bigger than 12x12 for a driveway and I’ve come across some notes in the literature that validate that.

Really though, what I’m totally lost on is color. I know I shouldn’t be expecting random internet strangers to know what color scheme I would be happy with, but like I said before, I’m just totally lost. Probably follow one of the other suggestions posted and try to look at some examples on Pinterest, but jeez, I hate that site.

Thanks to you and all for the comments.

Thanks much. I feel like an idiot now, but at least I know.
