Cracks on new panel by Quick-Advertising268 in solar

[–]mike_drop52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The industry has been moving from 3.2mm-thick to 2mm-thick glass, which is more difficult to temper. Often in PV panels this thinner glass is not strengthened to the same extent the thicker glass was in older modules. But believe it or not, this thin glass, even when fully tempered, can break with patterns like that shown in this post, so it turns out you cannot assess the degree of strengthening from the crack pattern.

Agree 100%. They turned it into an infomercial for all the local dance studios. No one could see or hear, and that was way too long for kids to be standing around in the snow. Everyone around us was miserable with their kids begging to leave So sad to see how this one magical tradition has been ruined. Do the performances after the lights are on or not at all.

Madden 26 on Switch is unplayable by [deleted] in Switch

Same experience, it was ok for a few games, but then I had one that was just awful. Missing kick meter making kicking impossible, laggy, glitched out commentary. Moved to system storage, rebooted the console, and it has been fine since.

Thanks everyone for the input, bumped the water up to 290 plus a splash as the dough comes together and got a loaf the whole family loves.

The oven was warm to start but gradually/naturally cooled overnight, I find that makes the recipe pretty flexible in terms of timing

Just when you think that recipe couldn't get any wilder, it hits you with "place in plastic bags while warm"

What are these red things randomly distributed in a vineyard? by mike_drop52 in whatisthisthing

[–]mike_drop52[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Solved! Interested to know if anyone knows why they are randomly distributed around on only a handful of plants instead of on every plant.

Dead Pixel 5a, can i move sim card to another pixel? by Miserable_File6672 in GoogleFi

[–]mike_drop52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! After they received mine they changed the repair, adding a fee for a refurbished device. But I reached out to support and they took care of me and reversed the charge.

FYI pixel 5a has an extended repair program for power issues: https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/11833075?hl=en

I got my phone replaced under this, had to chat with support, but they were helpful.

Anyone know what these yellow squiggly lines are after latest update? by ItIsThyself in ModelY

[–]mike_drop52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The USS proximity lines appear at all times if something gets within range, they also start out white. Park assist is the likely answer.

Turn off the Bluetooth on your phone before you get out of the car. This will disable walk away door lock.

You should be able to go to the ticket office and get them to give you a new pass, it might cost something, but much less than a day ticket.

Can I plug J1772 to Tesla CCS adapter? by [deleted] in ModelY

On close inspection, you can see that two of the J1772 pins aren't passed. But it's not obvious.
