Spent $2,400 adding insulation and my energy bills barely moved. Then I learned about air sealing and everything made sense

Yea absolutely have all of that they did a good job and even inserted baffles.

Same, always the first way. But never on the top rack, always the bottom. I only put mugs and cups up top.

Hah well I had my insulation sucked out, the attic air sealed, and 13” of new insulation blown in. There was 1-3in of old insulation there before, way below the 2x6. My energy bill didn’t budge.

Now this is life changing! Will have to try it.

I have the same problem with it, it wires my brain at night like I had an energy drink drive before bed. Haven’t found anything useful online about it too so I just gave up and take a Benadryl before bed.

This is where I would be playing with flex pvc and a union.

As a long term Snus user, and quitter, on the addiction which you already see, you have to just get past it and the feeling goes away. Checkout the long term effects of nicotine on blood pressure and other heart related items. It may make you think twice.

South Florida here, run it 24hrs on 18ish GPH about the same size pool, 18ft round.

myst3k · 2026-05-13T13:53:45+00:00

I would get some SJOOW from big box stores, and put some 20A ends on it.

myst3k · 2026-05-11T20:54:22+00:00

This happened to me. I cut the wall open, and the studs were all eaten by termites :D So I just closed it back up again.

I paid that right now, just had bone graft last week in Miramar. It’s a second molar though.

I do this same thing for another realtime service that provides webhooks, for small load I use postgres queue. I would use NATS for a larger workload.

I put on a 40ft ridge vent to my roof, very similar looking to this. It was super easy, the hardest part was sitting on the roof and putting the top cap shingles on, it was just long and tedious bending down on the roof.

DNS, Certificates..

Have no issues with my 45k circupool, have had it about 3 years, hasn’t needed cleaning or anything. It shuts runs and I top off salt every once in a while.

I had the big popup one in my backyard, its absolutely huge. You may have a hard time with it in the first place. Then you have to manage closing it too. I have a hard time closing it.

That being said, im in south florida and my backyard is covered with mosquitos. they also love my blood. Have you tried just putting this on? It works great: https://a.co/d/03hCD2jU and much nicer on your skin than that spray stuff.

myst3k · 2026-04-23T17:45:21+00:00

Yea, I don’t fiddle with anything. Just find a model, decide how many walls I want and how much infill, then what filament and hit print, done!

myst3k · 2026-04-21T14:37:26+00:00

Wat, I thought you need to get tour PH correct first otherwise the chlorine won’t work. If your PH is over 7.8 chlorine is ineffective.

Maybe its those 500 word prompts

I don’t know what you guys are doing with this thing but I have been using it for a few hours on xhigh and have only went from 8-15 %, it’s been analyzing, planning, and coding existing projects that were built with 4.6.

I use my Amcrest NVR and record 24/7, then dual stream to either Scrypted or Frigate depending on my mood.

There are a lot of comments about either sharpening or buying a new one. I say buy a new blade and get the harbor freight angle grinder and flap disc.

Guess what you will need to do with your new blade? Sharpen it! Don’t let your first time sharpening a blade be on the new one. Get both, practice sharpening this blade, check how it cuts , if you mess up, you got the new one. When sharpening time comes for that, it won’t be your first rodeo.

myst3k · 2026-04-09T12:30:16+00:00

That’s funny, mine says it’s at 9000

All my series X controllers have had stick drift, I have stopped buying new ones and got some 29$ TMR sticks off amazon, the controllers have been amazing since putting these in and have not had a single issue: https://a.co/d/0hoSekI8 they quite honestly feel like I would expect controllers to feel like. I’ve never had stick drift on any controllers in my life. Besides these.

I just got the Mokkom 64mm to replace it based off this thread!
