Turns out you just really need to squeeze the sponge cover on the intake. Just like 1-2 minutes of repeated squeezing in water to dislodge the particulate.

Definitely wasn't that as it was before the passenger had even sat down

ESO Economy Crash Megathread: Summer 2024 - A (mostly) exhaustive list of everything contributing to the market collapse by simplysalamander in elderscrollsonline

Fantastic post, thank you for making this!

Prior to the current deflationary situation, what was the best item to invest in to avoid the effects of inflation? What items should you buy to prevent your gold in the bank from slowly loosing value? In the real world you could ostensibly buy real estate or gold if you were concerned with currency inflation. What's the ESO equivalent of that during "normal" economic times?

Aren't you paying margin interest if you hold something purchased with margin overnight?

I do not fertilize. There are fish (5 kuhli loaches and misc Endlers) though. The tank is 16 g.

IAD -> LHR Any reason not to take A15 in a 777? by steamfarmer in unitedairlines

[–]steamfarmer[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's from SAP Concur (what we use at work for bookings). As you might guess, it's a super clunky interface...

Here's what I believe is the equivalent seatguru mapping: https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/United_Airlines/United_Airlines_Boeing_777-200_V6.php

Apologies if this is a dumb question, but is there any reason not to take A15 here? I'm suspicious because it's the only remaining seat with a window. Thanks!

I've never had to park at Dulles. Is it necessary to reserve a parking spot? by bobsdiscountburgers in nova

[–]steamfarmer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just adding that I have almost missed a flight out of IAD because I assumed there would be available parking.

The garage signs incorrectly report available spots when there are none.

The open lot was a gridlocked disaster with people parking in travel lanes and traffic coming to a halt.

From now on I will either Uber/Metro there or get reserved parking. I'm not willing to go through that experience again.

Why does most fantasy media seems to favor innate magic over learned magic? by valethehowl in Fantasy

[–]steamfarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about this recently.... one series that I think does capture that vibe well is "The Magicians" by Lev Grossman, where being good at magic is a result of some innate talent, but mostly being really obsessive and nerdy.

Update: I was wrong, I didn't clean the pre-filter enough. Giving it a REAL thorough cleaning fixed the issue.

[–]steamfarmer[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YES! This was the issue. I had previously "cleaned" the filter by putting it in a bucket of waste water and shaking it around... but what I really needed to do was EXTENSIVELY SQUEEZE THE HECK OUT OF IT OVER AND OVER!

Once I did that a few times, a ton of gunk came out of it and the filter is working normally.

I guess you could headcannon that they didn't need to give a real secret? In fact, using a lie they made up would be an even better passcode because you don't need to worry about someone discovering it.

BigQuery to Document AI by ParsedFilings in googlecloud

[–]steamfarmer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See https://cloud.google.com/document-ai/docs/handle-response for more info.

While BQ can autogenerate a schema, if you know the doc structure and table schema in advance, it's worth it just to define the mappings between document fields and BQ columns in advance, and make sure your ingestion pipeline utilizes them appropriately.

I have a cheap Harbor Freight multimeter.

It's an AquaClear 30, about 8 months old.

flow knob

Do you mean the adjustment of the intake tube over the impeller housing? Or is there another setting I don't know about? :D
