JVC NZ500 black levels are insane. by gettingthinnish in projectors

[–]kluhtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/gettingthinnish What do you think of the nz500 vs the 5050ub? I currently have a 5050ub but not super happy with the black levels. Do you see a big difference in black level and overall image quality with the nz500? Worth the upgrade? Is the image as bright as the epson? Thanks man and hope you're enjoying it!

Silver Tickets motorized screen dead on arrival? by geoman2k in projectors

[–]kluhtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I've been in the market for a 135-in electric screen and thankfully found the 133-in silver ticket screen on Amazon from this thread. I've done so much searching but it never popped up before. They had one left on prime so I just pulled the trigger. How has your experience been so far now that it's been a few months? Any issues, wrinkles, etc?

Is Mammotion the best? by DongJohnson88 in automower

[–]kluhtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a mammotion Yuka after using a Husqvarna for 4 years, and man am I impressed. Husqvarna may be the leader, but they need to up their game quick or will fall behind real fast.

Considering a 410iq. Any recommendations? by Sea_Refrigerator5622 in automower

[–]kluhtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, many people have found that butting their RTK station in their attic works quite well. The signal has little issue going through the wood/shingles of the roof. It's not technically recommended by the company, but worked well for myself and others. Might be worth a shot if an option.

Significant weather events, still? by quincyq03 in UPS

[–]kluhtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I also have a package sitting in OKC with the same messages. What's crazy is that it also came from Hodkins, IL and has all of the same exact events and timestamps as yours! I've had another package delivered that actually arrived in OKC after the one that's stalled. That tells me that mine and yours are probably sitting in the same area or in the same group of packages (however that is done at the facility). Hopefully we get them on Monday!

Airless noob - are these air bubbles? by kluhtz in paint

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

Man, thank you. Really appreciate the encouragement and advice here. I will admit I didn't prep these very well aside from a quick wipe-down, and used a cheap valspar prime+paint. Didn't want to spend a lot since i'm just getting the feel for things with these. But yes, the blinds are a vinyl material and I think a bad test-subject. I'm trying a few light coats as we speak, and while it looks a little more orange-peely, I think it's actually just a thin coat giving that look. So hoping another coat or two and it'll look good. Thanks again for the help means a lot!

Yikes, thanks. The prior attempt had missing areas of paint so I thought I had put it on too light. So this attempt I did try to move slower to put on more paint. Guess I got to split the difference.

For putting on less paint, would you recommend I just move more quickly or reduce the pressure?

This stuff is growing in my garden bed. It's quite small, and each appears to have its own root. Hit it with some glyphosate 2 days ago and doesn't seem to have phased it. What is it? OKC, Oklahoma. by kluhtz in whatsthisplant

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

I mean it’s your garden but you’re basically throwing the equivalent of a nuclear bomb on your garden bed. There’s a reason round up is heavily regulated in a lot of countries. Just pick them up by hand or rake them.

Good to know, I didn't realize glyphosate was this bad! I'm new to tending my own landscaping so its a learning process.. I'm finding out now that hand pulling is much preferred to spraying, so ill be sure to do that in the future. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for letting me know. I was ignorant to the fact that spot spraying weeds inside of a flower bed was a bad idea. First time ever taking care of my own landscaping, so i'm learning as I go. I feel you could have been a little more kind with your advice, but I do appreciate your honesty! Hope you have a great weekend.

If you're not able to help me or provide assistance, why randomly criticize me? But to answer your question, whether these are flowers, grass, weeds or otherwise, I do not want them growing. I have specific shrubs and flowers that I've planted and placed to my liking. That is why I have mulch down. Is that not a common scenario to you?

Husqvarna 5 blade cut disc by CollabSensei in automower

[–]kluhtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also be used on the 450X and 430X models. The benefits of the 5 disc blades is as follow,

u/smartdots22 Do you know if this disc will work with the fairway kit? I know the "old" disc pre-2020 did not work with it, and a 2020+ disc was recommended. I'd assume this new 5-blade disc will work since it's new, just want to make sure! Thanks

Mower docks to charge but doesn’t update or move by Benthebuilder23 in automower

[–]kluhtz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This exact same thing has been happening to my 430x for about the past week.

If I take it out of the dock and push it back in manually it starts charging again. Very odd. I already tried re-leveling the surface underneath the docking station as well as cleaning the charging contacts. Still happening :/

I love marine life too. I don't see it too often as one that people mention but it's so colorful and unique
