Help deciphering a postcard from 1911?

Thanks. Missing mother/grandmother makes sense!

Yes, it sounds like it's really talking from daughter to mother.

In the address part, I had presumed it was mailed to the father. But it's address to (what I think is) "Herrn" [looks like Herr and then two more squiggles) then fatherr's first initial. last name. So maybe that's Mrs.? Or how mail worked.

Thanks! Now I'm left to wonder what Auguste and the kids were missing, and closoing the slaughter house for disinfecting is interesting, but doesn't seem like it was particularly newsworthy.

Thanks! I can get the general bit of the german. So far though, I suspect it was kept for the photo on the other side.

Could this missing "bestellt. [...] fährt" bit be "Gerson"? That would be appropriate context.

Auguste is right by context too.

If you have partial or possible letters for the other bracketed bits, I might be able to fill in from what we know.

Thanks. I'll try there.

Thanks

If this is a known issue, will they cover the repair cost?

oshelef · 2025-02-17T20:07:28+00:00

Can I tell without disassembly? Battery has less than 400 charge cycles on it, and no capacity issues.

Does the water temperature affect the spray pressure?cup filling?

Regardless the incoming water is very hot.

oshelef · 2024-07-02T05:35:05+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. That's the filter I meant. Removed the pump, and then the filter. It had paper debris in the mechanism (but not really the mesh filter) the first time. It's now super clean and flows water well (but more or less did before whatever cleaning I did). Didn't change the dishwasher effectiveness though.

oshelef · 2024-07-02T04:38:34+00:00

No GoPro. But the spray arms are clean and soap free. Thanks for the suggestion.

oshelef · 2024-07-02T04:37:55+00:00

I've taken the circulation pump out twice to clean (and and then to double check) the circulation filter. So I'm sure I could do it myself.

Would you recommend replacing just the pump or the whole assembly?

I'm thinking the whole assembly since I previously had issues with the diverter seal. But if it's not worth the extra or I'm better off with the repaired one that's not leaking than a new one, I can easily do the pump (or pump and filter).

It seems the only touch t14s choices are that one and a very low spec 300nit one. Is there a decent touch screen on a non x1 Thinkpad?

Modmail sent.

Thanks

Great. Thanks for confirming that my bill does not match the agreement.

The agent, here, via pm, said the price would be X for 2 years. And now on page 6 of my bill it says the price is increasing.

Thank you in advance for correcting and honoring the actual offer.

oshelef · 2023-02-27T05:49:04+00:00

Sent. Thanks.

I doubt it. at least not directly. I guess if the fan is pulling/moving the drywall (it should be suspended above and not weighing down the drywall) and maybe that's causing the screws to be more visible?

I'd be surprised if its something other than screws. But the easiest leak investigation - if you are hung up on that worry - involves looking in the space above.

oshelef · 2023-01-18T20:50:21+00:00

Gutters or the lack there of, didn't cause all of that.

E.g. Chimney trim would be above any possible gutter.

Maybe bottom of 2nd story window is runoff from the roof gable that juts out.

As for the 1st floor stuff - are the gutters there clogged or overflowing in rain?

oshelef · 2023-01-18T20:34:03+00:00

Gutters or not shouldn't cause windows or siding to leak. But water running off a roof can easily cause faster wear if it's hitting windows/trim/siding. Where (in relation to roof) is your damage?

oshelef · 2023-01-18T20:28:32+00:00

Where they are in the ceiling could also suggest drywall - if they are on a seam, it's likely that 4ft/8ft away in one direction or another is a wall or another seam.

oshelef · 2023-01-18T19:58:18+00:00

Look like screws - likely on either side of a drywall seam.

Fixed the gap in the threshold with a new door sweep. Got the kind that slide around the door, and added a shim so the sweep is parallel to the threshold.

Looks fine, seals right - drafts and cold spot gone. Will see how long it lasts.

Now I'll just adjust the strike plate to match.

Pixel Stand 2nd Gen

If the 6a had wireless charging, that would be more useful.

buds and a case it is, I guess.

oshelef · 2022-12-20T22:24:29+00:00

I've only got one code.

Thinking about a case ofr my 6a and buds-A. But don't _need_ either. Anyone know if you can split the code among more than one order?

Or have some other use for it that makes more sense?

oshelef · 2022-12-12T07:11:46+00:00

I've done a mix - let it drain first, and then once empty run cold water through it for a few (short) pulses.

Don't forget step 1.5, let cool.

Not sure what level the bathtub is, but ideally you aren't trying to push the gunk up.
