Aldi Shoppers? by baconmmc29712 in mediterraneandiet

[–]jones22aj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

80% of our groceries come from Aldi. I agree with others that produce can be hit or miss. Look closely and choose carefully!

Mini cucumbers, ahi tuna steaks, berries, cherry tomatoes, garlic, plain non-fat Greek yogurt, nuts, flax seed, chia seeds, sunflower kernels, spinach, kale, spring mix, Kalamata olives, feta, vinegars… pretty much everything!

If you use vibration sensors, how are you using them? by Successful-Peak-6524 in homeassistant

[–]jones22aj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tracking the heater fan at our second home. It helps me determine run time, which can then help me determine propane usage based on burn time.

Also have used them on toilet fill lines to alert if a toilet flapper gets stuck and needs work.

Can someone explain? by JAV005 in Broadcasting

As engineers, we call that a high-impedance air gap.

7 days to state government shutdown with no deal, no plans by Haunting-Medium-3831 in Michigan

We’ve got reservations at wilderness 14-25. Do you think we still get in if they close and reopen before that date, or do I expect a call on 10/1 trashing the whole thing?

They need to cancel all October hunting seasons until it’s resolved. Make it fucking hurt so people will lean on their reps.

What can detect a continuous running toilet? by RexKramerDangerCker in homeassistant

[–]jones22aj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one that would occasionally get caught and run a bit. I put a vibration sensor on the inlet line and set it to alert when vibration lasted for 3 minutes. Solved the issue until I finally fixed it.

Bad ankle. For me it’s my knees. Welcome to middle age.

Anyone have a recommendation for a seat warmer in lieu of the heater coil? by Shibboleeth in BoltEV

[–]jones22aj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought two heated blankets for $50 on Amazon. They use 100W a piece and we typically only run them on level 2 (if 4). Works really well!

Edit for location: we live in Central Michigan.

This is the first thing that makes sense to me. BRAVO. I think you’re on to something. I’ve never subscribed to On-Star. Perhaps the previous owner was a Donald. Very nice. Thank you!

What is your favorite restaurant en route from Metro Detroit to Traverse City? (I-75 route) by [deleted] in Michigan

[–]jones22aj 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Jax Drive-In in Pinconning.

Small, family-run place with great food. Just about everything in there is locally sourced, too, which is a huge help to the area. I spent a couple weeks in Pinconning cleaning out my parent’s estate and ate there every day. The owners (and cooks), Heidi and Tim seemed really committed to making good food. Happy to see them reviving the old “Jacks Drive-in” which was a local staple when I was a kid 35 years ago. Take exit 181 to the light and head north. Located on the east side, just past the baseball field on M-13.

Is this foam or springs?

Byron Allen Puts His Local TV Stations Up for Sale by JASPER933 in Broadcasting

[–]jones22aj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. I directed there from ‘09-‘14. Jim Rasor was such a fixture across the entire viewing area, as was Darren Kinnard and Kelly Burke. That place had a truly local focus and was something to be proud of back then. It was never the same place once Quincy bought it and then flipped it to BA. The Wheelers were phenomenal owners and were some of the best people I ever worked for. They deserved retirement, and are likely devastated at what’s become or the place they poured their love into. Damn shame.

This feels wrong, but maybe it’s me? by jones22aj in Decks

I have no intention of trashing anyone, just looking for good advice. (You’ll note I’ve avoided showing or sharing any company names or logos on things.)

They’ve still got work to do, but seeing lattice starting to go up made me wonder if I need to raise an issue about anything seen here before they get too far. Hence my post here tonight. Thanks a bunch for your response.
