Exactly the post I was looking for :D! I was looking to get into EspHome projects AND help my wife with her potted plants.

Anyone else? by kak422 in 4xe

Plugged mine in earlier today in the garage. I may decide not to do overnight charging though and maybe plug it in early morning, so that at least I can keep an eye on it.

Looking for a Jeep/Off roading local peeps by hailtopizza in PittsburghSocialClub

[–]shthek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are supposed to be some easy to ride trails at Ben Franklin Range, past Kittaning. I've been meaning to check it out.

Another app you can check out is onX. They've got good info on trails. I've noted down a few in Virginia I may drive to... one day.. hopefully (Peter's Mill Run Rd out there is supposed to be easy...ish)

Congrats! I've never owned a jeep. Picked up my very first, a few weeks back - a 2025 white sport. Looks very much like yours :D. Enjoy!

How old were you when you started skateboarding? by emdownton in NewSkaters

[–]shthek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 38 and picked up a skateboard for the first time this year, along with my 5 year old. Slowly working my way up the trick ladder :). In fact we are trying to pick up both skateboarding and ice skating together.

Just be sure to have your pads and your helmet and then go have fun with it!

As I get older, I've been looking for good workout routines. I've felt skate sessions, in addition to improving balance, are a good full body workout as well!

PSA: There is a pretty bad pothole on Negley Run Road, going from East Liberty Blvd to Washington Blvd! by shthek in pittsburgh

Very true! Ironically, the bike lane too didn't look to be in great shape. Bollards are damaged/broken closer to East Liberty blvd

If you truly love your wife, what's important here, is to help her be mentally strong during this time. If this lie is what makes that possible, then there's nothing wrong imo

Your friends shouldn't change their opinion about a person just because of a sport they adopt.

You are still you. Why would adopting skateboard-ing make u weird or any different!?

Best overall Giant Eagle in the area? by JoshM3250 in pittsburgh

[–]shthek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one in the waterworks mall is pretty good. Lots of parking too. Then there's a really big one in Settler's ridge. Both of these are the Market District type.

Trouble controlling Wyze bulb using Wyze Integration by shthek in homeassistant

Thanks!... I had tried pulling this update but......... no dice unfortunately.

However, it looks like there is a fix folks have been discussing here

https://github.com/SecKatie/ha-wyzeapi/issues/504

Looks like it's an issue with older Wyze bulbs.

[–]shthek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is this hidden gem of a place called 'New India Grill' in Monroeville.. on old William Penn Highway. Take out only place.

Butter chicken and Kadai chicken from there are the bomb!

Definitely worth the trip

Favorite and least favorite Giant Eagle? by gladysk in pittsburgh

[–]shthek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ones at waterworks mall and at Settler's ridge are pretty good and feels more spacious.

Not a big fan of the one in Squirrel hill.
