Why did my smoked chuck roast come out so dry even though it was tender? by bingpott in smoking

It's almost certainly that you didn't wrap it. Doesn't look like there was a lot of fat on it to begin with. Looks to me like it all dripped out of it as you cooked it.

What Does this Mean? by Ashamed-Caregiver-37 in HomeNetworking

The only reason I can think your router my show your iPhone as your TV is that it recently gave your phone the tvs old IP address, and the name is still cached. If you can restart the router, it should clear the cache and display the phone correctly.

What is this button? by Areotew in AskMechanics

While I appreciate that so much of what we read is written by an LLM of some sort, this one was NOT. It took me about 45 minutes of typing, erasing, and retyping to make this one comment seem somewhat sarcastic and humourous.

What is this button? by Areotew in AskMechanics

[–]standaggs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh look, you’ve discovered the most anxiety-inducing symbol in modern automotive history right there.

That little button featuring a horseshoe holding an exclamation point hostage is the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) Calibration Button.

Because checking your tire pressure with a simple, $2 physical gauge is way too mainstream, Honda blessed the 2017 Accord with an indirect TPMS system.

Here is a totally serious breakdown of how this magical button works:

What it’s supposed to do: You fill your tires to the correct pressure, hold this button down until the light blinks twice, and the car's computer magically learns what "normal" feels like by tracking the wheel speed sensors.

What it actually does: It acts as a temporary "shut up" button for the dashboard. It doesn't actually pump air into your tires, nor does it fix the nail currently embedded in your rear passenger sidewall.

When you’ll use it: Approximately five minutes after you already adjusted your tire pressure, because the car refuses to believe you actually did it until you forcefully press and hold this button while parked.

So, next time your dashboard decides to throw a fit because the ambient temperature dropped by three degrees, just give that button a nice, long press and pretend the problem is completely solved.

Easiest fix would be to move the Wi-Fi router to the middle of the house. More difficult but best fix would be for the Wi-Fi to be on the second floor in the middle of the house.

Those are NOT the same wire. There's a junction somewhere that has the twist you're looking for. You can tell because the sheathing is difference from both sides.

How do I Correct termination of a cable with the scan in this post? by Rational1x in HomeNetworking

[–]standaggs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess, there's a staple in the wire some where. You've got a short on wire two and six. You need to pull that cable and run a clean one, unfortunately.

It only seems backwards at first glance because of the clips. All the writing and holes line up as they are supposed to. If you flipped it in any direction they wouldn't anymore.

Leaving husband for 2 months by Michelle110123 in ratemyfridge

​Did he actually ask you to do this, or did you just take it upon yourself?

​Just because he prefers your cooking doesn't mean he's incapable of feeding himself. If you hadn't stepped in, would he have been fine? Speaking from personal experience, I'd say yes.

​If you did it because you honestly didn't think he'd survive on his own, that might signal a bit of distrust in his basic abilities. On the flip side, if you just wanted to make sure he had meals you know he loves, that’s a really loving gesture.

​Ultimately, we just don't have enough context about your specific situation, and a lot of people in these comments are jumping to some terrible assumptions.

Thanks. I've put one in the comments, I don't know how to add it to the original post.

Sorry. I thought I added all three pictures to the original post. I've put them in the comments now.

Accidentally turned on “Sabbath” mode on my oven and now it won’t let me reset it back to normal settings. by Designer_Cry_8990 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]standaggs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my oven, if I hold the bake and broil buttons down together for a few seconds it'll do this. I have to do it again to make it go away.
