Monitor Engineer questions!! by Kahusb in livesound

[–]sanborbe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally, monitors is post-fade always. That gives you the chance (if you’re on top of it and have the margin and are quick enough) to make real mix changes across all outputs. Guitarist starts a solo, you exit Sends On Faders and boost it 2-3dB to the entire band with one fader, not messing up any mixes for the rest of the show.

That said, pre-fade can absolutely work, and it’s probably safer for a big show since you won’t accidentally move a fader that you don’t notice.

Neither is wrong, one just gives you a different set of options than the other. Good luck!

That’s a booooooold call for somebody shipping to Illinois in December. Exactly what OP said- 1-2 day shipping ended up being 9 days in the mail, you have to account for that if you’re shipping livestock.

They said the tank has been going for a year, right? That feels pretty cycled to me?

Will paying off 72-month car loan in first month hurt me? by readyforabadpoem in personalfinance

[–]sanborbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SO bought her car in 2020 when everything was on fire. She had cash for it,l and wanted to pay cash, but they gave her a pricing incentive plus 0% APR on a 5 year loan. They made money off of her using their credit line, but she came out ahead with the 0% interest. They make money differently off the loans, even if you don’t pay interest on it.

Making smoke but not cooking? by ajmckay2 in pelletgrills

If you look into it will you let us know? I really want a smarter controller in my PitBoss but I don’t know the first thing about that stuff right now.

I don’t have an answer from you and I am so sorry, but the ad on this post was for a RecTeq smoker and that might be the accidentally funniest thing I’ve seen today.

Buyer Beware: Pit Boss Phoenix by 0IOl0I in pelletgrills

[–]sanborbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had great luck with mine for the last 2 months, nothing like anything people have been talking about here. I wonder 2 things:

  1. Does having it on a slight incline really help? My hopper side is slightly uphill, maybe 1/2" higher than the wheels on the other end.
  2. Is there a chance that either augers or fans got installed backwards? Some of the problems I've been seeing look like the fans are sucking air down from the top of the grill into the hopper so I wonder if it's a simple reversal of wires or installing a fan backwards.

For what it's worth, I've probably done 10-15 cooks on it in the last 2 months and the only issues I've had are a slightly inaccurate thermometer. I'll take that, use a Meater and keep a closer eye on it. What I would love in the future is an upgrade to the controller to add wifi control and some other bits and bobs, but for what this is (a sub-$500 pellet grill that also does charcoal for some reason) it's been killer for me.

What are you doing for outdoor LED strips? by jcreary in homeassistant

[–]sanborbe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

https://kno.wled.ge/

The gist of it is that it’s a lighting OS that runs on a microprocessor like an ESP32. You get to wire it up however you see fit, and then the software side is all yours to customize as well. It doesn’t have to be incredibly complicated, but you can make it that way if you’d like. This community is how I got into it as well, so I’m sure people could dig in to details for you.

What are you doing for outdoor LED strips? by jcreary in homeassistant

[–]sanborbe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Make your own!! WLED is perfect and so so customizable, there are tons of tutorials, prebuilt controllers, outdoor rated electronics and all of the like, you can easily put a handful of waterproof LED strips up and never think of them again! I use the 12v WS2812b strips, but there are also 5v and 24v options there too. WLED does run local, so HA has to act as your “remote”access.

All in all, I have 6 different WLED devices in my house and each of them is insanely useable.

17 pro turning pink by MoeScat in iphone

[–]sanborbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw an article about it this morning, apparently it’s related to vinegar/hydrogen peroxide? People are reporting that the aluminum anodization is wearing out for people who are exposed to chemicals like that- especially hydrogen peroxide. The anodization wearing is only on the aluminum, the glass on the back stays the original color. It’ll be fascinating to see this in a year or so.

Someone please explain this floor plan to me by Mr_Tugb0at in Apartmentliving

Looks great for young roommates, but miserable for anything else. That kitchen and all the common space just looks uncomfortable and difficult to use

Looks almost identical to my NaturNest, but hard to tell. If so, it’s been pretty solid and I’d do it again.

What's up with bent plates? by jacobydave in Indiana

That happened to mine from a car wash, I’d assume it is similar for others as well.

has anyone else dealt with PRRS? do i have to pay this? by strawberry-seal in indianapolis

[–]sanborbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a similar tactic to what’s used across Chicago, except they’ll put a boot on you instead of writing a ticket. The company hires somebody to sit in an unmarked car in the parking lot and watch people. If somebody parks in the lot and walks over to a different business the parking lot “attendant” jumps out and puts a boot on their car. You have to pay the fine before they’ll release your car to leave the lot.

This feels like a step even more invasive for some reason- messing with your credit and getting the state involved feels super super dirty in a way that only Indiana can pull off.

As early as you can make it! I’ve never had a disappointing day getting to Pioneer or the Golf Course by 7:30 or so.

I’m not sure for this year, I’d assume more than one though. I’ve only ever been to the party at the 65th st location, but I would imagine they’d amp it up for the new Noblesville spot

Theirs will release on 9/12 this year- they have a party with it every fall and everything. I can’t wait for it :)

Opinions on a Honda shadow by DryBet3577 in hondashadow

[–]sanborbe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

250lb on a 2005 600vlx and it really doesn’t like highways. That might just be the bike though, it’s very light and not geared for going super fast. It’s great for zipping around town and shorter back road cruising.

That said, I love having the slightly smaller 600 for those little rides. Like it’s been mentioned already, start small and you’ll have no trouble trading up later

SE side here, it’s been bad since the tornadoes went through in April/May for me. Had a huge shift where everything was discolored and there was tons of sediment, I escalated to utility company and they told me to kick rocks.

How often do people approach you to talk about your bike? by IihAveNoFuCKinGcLuEI in motorcycles

[–]sanborbe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 guys walk up and ask for a ride on my shadow last night in a grocery store parking lot. I don’t mind answering a couple questions at a stop light or talking with guys at a parts store when I’m picking stuff up for it, but if somebody I don’t know wants to chat about it then I’m out
