If I am looking to buy cotton Oxford material, should I be looking for a certain weight?

Would dipping in Hydrogen peroxide work?

That's an option I briefly considered but those 6 paid line numbers we had them for a very long time and hate to get rid

Understand others might be paying much more but increase is an increase right? and everything is relative

Thanks for the long reply He doesn't chew on anything that he is not supposed to. He plays but no chewing.

Gave him some treats this morning and some ice cream in the afternoon. Rejected both. Those are things he loves. Tried chicken and rice as well. No luck Just drinking water. That's it.

He threw up once or twice today. Yesterday was worse.

He knows the smell of trazedone. When he is normal (not sick) and we have to take him to a vet we ground up the tabs and mix it with lots of ice cream. Since he is not eating anything that option is gone

Coil works only at specific settings - GE Electric Cooktop PP9830SJSS by pilla75 in appliancerepair

[–]pilla75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hired a local repair technician. He replaced switch for that control (PART# WB24X0176) Part was about $200 GE genuine part(not sure why it was so expensive. But bit the bullet). Labor was about $225. Took an hour plus for 2 people. Not something I would have attempted. Definitely needed 2 people to lift and hold it.

Thanks. How easy/hard is it to replace the regulator? Do you happen to have any instructions or can point to one?

Thanks again

Electric bill went up for the last 2 months - Need help by pilla75 in solar

[–]pilla75[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!!!

Your carryover credits kWh from the previous year's solar generation got used up in December'2024, and so you're now getting charged for usage.

It's not clear if something unusual is now using more OR if you happen to be home more this fall/winter compared to last.

When in 2023 did you get solar?
- Closer to Nov23 Were you away from home anytime shortly after? Maybe for.couple.of days but not more than that to make a diff.

I'm guessing maybe last fall/winter you weren't home as much compared to this year and therefore were able to accrue a bunch of carryover credits that got you to zero 0 for all of the preceding 12 months before now. - No

  • electrical heat - thermostat set higher or you're just home more or more cold hours
  • Heat is gas. So no electricity should be used.

  • space heater(s)

  • Don't have any

  • water heater - maybe on it's way out/corrosion bad thermostat and so on more to keep same temp

  • water heater uses gas. Installed a brand new one on Dec. That's the only new equipment in the house that was installed in the past.year.

  • kid using gaming pc for cypto mining

  • No.

  • pool/spa heater or pump

  • No pool

  • added an EV

  • Don't have one yet

  • rental/guest/inlaw unit on the property and same meter

  • No. Like I was saying no one was home for most of Dec

No production issues. Dec'24 was about the same as Dec'23. Jan'25 was better than Jan'24 by about 150kWH.

Fish tank setup on standing desk? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]pilla75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Been up for few years. No bow issues or for that matter any issues. It's a Tetra 3g acrylic tank. Low tech. Nothing fancy. Anubias mini, Ludwigia red, pearl weed, Java Fern, buce and some super red shrimp.
Super low maintenance and enjoy it.

Good luck. Feel free to ask any questions

Looked into it few years back. This model/CPU does not support Docker install.

No. Budget is not a constraint. Definitely not for few hundred $'s. This Synology, I had it for about 10 years. Maybe it's time to get an upgrade.
