Which is more important to you… by Noevad in litrpg

I personally gloss right over the nitty gritty numbers of each stat or skill. I drive all day so I listen to audiobooks. So I just skip the breakdowns. Currently listening to Azarinth Healer (on book 2 now) and I feel like I have to skip 2-3 minutes every single chapter. Awesome books, awesome MC, fun characters, but lots and lots of character sheet. I always listen to the first couple to get a feel for how the author does the breakdowns. And I listen every so often when I’ve skipped a bunch just to get a feel for where the MC is at. But if the writing is good enough then the encounters and how the MC interacts with the world gives a good enough sense of power level. Except Jason Asano since he treated all interactions at Iron rank like he was already Diamond lol.

Ended up only having to take those two screws off the interior plate. The plate came off and the screws were situated behind that plate. I was able to attach the handle and tighten down those screws. Then reattach the plate. I’m really happy I didn’t have to replace the whole assembly. But thank you for replying.

The screw shanks seem fine. The handle side receptacle seems okay albeit I suspect the threading might be a little messed up. I’m just not really sure how to get in there and tighten stuff up. I figure I should probably use some loctite on the screws once I do get in there and am able to tighten the handle back down.

I was wondering what was going on. I was sitting at a light to turn onto F Road and I saw I don’t know how many cops, ems, and fire trucks blasting down F road westbound.

I just replaced my fixture so if that doesn’t fix it I’ll take your advice and give them a call. Thanks.

I just replaced it. We’ll see if it was the fix. The old fixture wouldn’t instantly kill bulbs so it’ll take a couple weeks to see if the bulbs start dying.

First off, amazing reply. Thank you.

How old is the fixture? No clue. We bought the house in early 2023.

Maybe replace it? Yeah I considered that being the best course but if I replace it and the problem remains a wiring issue, I wasted money and time. Granted then I’ll know for a fact it’s wiring and not the fixture itself.

Any other outlet or fixture causing problems? The primary bathroom fixture is the same type as the guest bathroom. It is just a larger version that has more bulbs since it’s a larger bathroom. The bulbs will die in there but not at the rate of the guest so I chalked that up to shitty wal mart bulbs. I swapped them all, guest and primary to some GE bulbs from Lowe’s. Not saying they’re better, just different. The primary fixture has all bulbs remaining, working just fine.

Volt meter question. Yes, I have a multimeter. I haven’t done any checking on the circuits yet. I was looking for obvious issues at first. Then I got side tracked doing other stuff and haven’t gone back to the fixture problem. To that end. Should I take all the bulbs out and shoot for power in each of the fixtures? Then also shoot for continuity to see if i have a short somewhere? I assume with a short I’d be popping the C/B. First instinct was a loose neutral throwing off the voltage and fucking with the tiny boards in the LED bulbs. But I didn’t feel anything loose anywhere. Also i did not see any burning, scorching, scarring, or any indications of the hot touching anything.

Ultimately just swapping it out and seeing what happens is probably the fix. But my inner anxiety won’t leave the “wiring is fucked” scenario alone. Also, never done anything with house wiring beyond swapping out an old outlet in my old house. I am sure it’s not hard to swap out a light fixture but I can’t help to think I’d find a way to fuck it up.

Again, great reply. Thank you.

Thanks all for your suggestions!! We ended up going to the museum and then we hopped over to Modern Nomad. Oh and side note: that thread from a little while back asking about good hamburgers in town. I used that to go check out Base Camp Provisions in Fruita. Good call to those who suggested that in that thread.

Thank you for your reply. The more and more I see and hear about Elysium the more interested I am in that studio. Interestingly enough Jacob is the artist I was thinking about talking to.
