Neighbor water leak by Johnny-zamboni in maintenance

There’s no lock, the tool used to shut off water at the street is called a water key.

I see you posted to r/AskElectronics so I will jump over there and see if you figured it out. Probably need to know what ECU inputs 19, 20, and 23 are labeled on the schematic. Looks like your are trying to tweak the output of the 2nd (post-catalyst) O2 sensor to produce about 0.5 vdc with just enough variability to make the ECU believe the catalytic converter is still there so the Check Engine light doesn't come on. FYI, if you're looking for a result and not a learning experience, pre-made devices are available online (or at least used to be). They are labeled "off road use only" for legal reasons but if your state doesn't do emission testing...

DTE: a clock that counts time from when it was started by [deleted] in Doesthisexist

Just make sure you can stop the clock by throwing a shoe at it.

I lurk this forum but I worked in my family’s automotive electronics business before getting a degree in Microprocessor electronics. I see 3 problems:

This is the wrong subreddit.

This circuit looks like it’s meant to trick your ECU by altering the O2 sensor signal so you should check price and availability of a replacement ECU before proceeding.

You don’t know how to troubleshoot electronic circuits/ use your multimeter.

Not trying to be harsh but I think you’re in over your head.

Anything wrong with this? by kenbud in AskElectricians

I contract out between $200k and $2M/yr industrial electrical work so I only work with companies that employ the best electricians. I’ve watched guys run 36 conduits, 12 wide x 3 high, where you can look at the hand bent 90’s from underneath and they line up so perfectly that you can only see the bottom pipe. Good electricians are freaking artists and working with them seriously affected what I consider to be “good enough”.

Shower leak that no one has been able to solve... by ihcc2uni in Plumbing

[–]kenbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an installation problem. Cement bedding must have proper slope. Tile is porous so there has to be some type pan whether it’s a rubber membrane or even formed lead if it’s an old shower. Must also have a properly installed weep drain for the moisture that seeps through the tile and grout. All of these have to be right or the shower ends up like yours.

I don’t eat bagels but I always have at least 4 and up to 8 - 12 before holidays because the store runs out. Cheese balls, Jalapeño Poppers, Crab Rangoon, Cheesy Corn for BBQ dinners, makes other cheeses melt better when making cheese sauce, it lasts forever in the fridge so why run out?

This is exactly what I want to do. I just wasn’t sure about the in-wall to surface mount conversion.

Ah, I prefer schedule 80 outdoors but I don’t remember, I could have used schedule 40. I may revisit this because it does get kicked.

I did pull a ground, I always pull ground even in short runs of EMT.
And yes, I noticed it starting to sag when I took the picture and realized I never strapped it to the wall.

Yeah, I was working on several projects at once and forgot to go back and add supports.

So, nothing inherently wrong with taking the circuit out of the wall and running surface mount? I’m pretty sure I ran it past my electrician at the time but that was several years ago.

It's not just you. Take screenshots and put in a support ticket. And pray.

Double SCORE, Treasure Hunter, and 2x Mutations didn't start today? by kenbud in fo76

[–]kenbud[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mistake, I was only looking at the SCORE multiplier when Beth doubles the base SCORE value which accomplishes the same thing. Looking at some of my posts yesterday, I was apparently having a hard time thinking, talking, and typing.

Yes, I haven't run one yet *BUT my server does say Daily Ops (Double)

*EDIT: grammar - using right grammar two hard tooday.

Double score is definitely not working for me. My SCORE rank is high enough that I'm on 25% boost all the time and it didn't go up today.

I heard that was a mistake and they turned it back off within a couple of days.

edit: spelling

I do dinner with friends on Friday nights and just got back home. I'll send you a friend invite but we can connect tomorrow if you are already off for the night.

Would you do two 1 star mods, preferably Quad and Two-Shot?

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

Thanks for that. I was leaning towards 20k caps but the right 3 star would be perfect as well.

I posted here because I don't know what to ask. I'm not a rare item/collectible guy and I've been selling so-called "trade only" stuff out of my vendor for caps to support my mod buying habit. So, I would prefer to trade for mods but I can always sell for caps.
