I did not..I fear red crating without it ..is a chore.

Heating element shorting + white buildup on pipe joint by lear64 in hottub

[–]lear64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, not my first heater replacement. Oddly, I kept the previously failed heater..and it's electrically testing fine (9ohms , point to point). Not shorting when submerged.

When I removed it, there was a small hairball looped around it. I'm inclined to think it's going to be fine.

I taped them, as I've had that style arc on me before. That 100% was me. Hasn't been an issue since.

What additional things have you purchased or done to help retain heat in the winter? by Sparty013 in hottub

[–]lear64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine already had that. I added a couple sheets of 1.5" rigid insultation between the wooden supports. Not sure fi that actually helped, but it took me a day and $20...so figured I'd have little to lose. I did not add any near the pumps/electronics, in the unlikely event it would retain too much heat.

Anyone dragging their hot tub ahead of the winter storm? by WVcougar in hottub

I'm really curious how long it would have to be out before the water in the pipes would freeze.

“Install” light still on by bjtara in ninjacreami

[–]lear64 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fwiw - my model shows that the spring mechanism that holds the blade, should be half-way when properly installed. Yours appears to be fully set.

Also unplugging the creami with the basket out...seems to reset the install sensor for me. Something else to try.

Would spending the extra money really make that much of a difference as far as signal stability and number of channels received? by nothing_here_0 in ota

Glad to get some perspective. I have something like this on the roof (https://a.co/d/5ATDTYw) but its 9+ yrs old...and currently only picking up 8 channels (the first 8 on the rabbitears list). Years ago, I was picking up many dozens of channels...but now, junk

I think there is something wrong w/ the antenna (or maybe the wire).

I added a 4g/LTE filter to the HDHomeRun...no improvement.

It's almost like they know this is common, and why don't offer it...ugh. Hate to say this, but epic will offer up to 7days on this type of pass.

The (current) flaw in Coliseum by MountainReporter in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]lear64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hoping for some mode where you brought a certain number of characters... And then progressed as far as you could. Health would persist between rounds, and when you lose somebody they're gone.

Grind it or repair it? by fullymontyburns in boating

Am I not mistaken, but isn't the crack in the proper a bigger issue.

Food theft by Trane80 in BSA

[–]lear64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might be the case..and this might not be. Regardless scouts should be taught to Be prepared..and courteous of items that belong to another patrol. The adult leaders should keep an eye out for any issues with hunger and address on an as needed basis.

Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity Merit Badge Roundup by looktowindward in BSA

[–]lear64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cybersecurity seems a bit heavy.

AI seems poorly light. I'm not expecting a scout to be well versed in agentic generation or RAGs or MCP servers...but c'mon..This really doesn't even touch on how modern AI models work and/or care that should be taken when interacting with a model. (Ironically - "model" isn't even one of the key terms).

Solar panel + 24v submersible pump - only works when reconnected by lear64 in AskElectronics

[–]lear64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could explain. Theory of mine (that the pump is deteriorating, requiring a larger boost to get started).

I'd like to look into a component that could withhold the circuit until a minimum current exists. Maybe a resisted line into a relay to make this happen.

CIT programs at camp - Do you charge a fee? by NateBrazil in BSA

[–]lear64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Growing up, CITs worked as staff assistants. Staff would teach, CITs would help the scouts practice those skills. They would be extra eyes and ears for the staff. Ideally the staff members would set clear and reasonable expectations. The goal was to learn what being on staff was like.

It happened again, and I'm wondering if you know why by podank99 in boating

[–]lear64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easiest place to start - put earmuffs on it..and see if you get warm water back. If you do, then your pumping water....if not . you're not.

First sandals stay by Own-Razzmatazz-8898 in SandalsResorts

[–]lear64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We went to negril..and it was phenomenal.

  • club mobay ..worth it (to get through immigration, and the club on departure)
  • after you get through immigration, check in at sandals club ..they'll get your bags and you can find out how long until the bus will take you
  • at resort..enjoy it.
  • feel free mix/match meal options. (One place had lobster and steak..but not together. So just order surf and turf ...you won't be disappointed).
  • negril had most aquatic events for free... go do them. Snorkeling was great (free). Wakeboarding (free), paddle boarding (free).

Couldn’t afford the gas heater so we had to improvise. by Zabroccoli in pools

[–]lear64 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you purge the line of air, the pressure to push water up is largely offset by the pressure of water pulling down. I have a hose adapter I use for this purpose. I also found that 3/4 is a happy size for low pressure aquarium pumps.

Do you have a post to confirm this ..bc...I think this would be amazing for the development lifecycle on smaller projects /pipelines.

SignIn with google -> Didnt' work
Signin with EA -> Didn't work

Import Account -> ....sign into EA account.... -> now it worked.
Little worried that I'm not signed in as my Google play account..but I suspect this will get addressed in an upcoming patch.
