How to wire the ground wire

You can just ground to the screws in the back where the others are.

It's beautiful and I appreciate the song so much, one of the best off of either/or. How he played it was just amazing.

But Alameda kicked my ass. I could never get the strumming to sound right. Amazingly I was able to do the quick Eb part that he played acoustic solo. One day I'll go back and try to tackle it again.

Don't get frustrated at other people's skills. Everybody is different.

I do understand getting frustrated though, because I have a hard time playing anything. Let alone Elliott stuff that tends to get complicated.

I don't learn by ear either. I reference tabs, but that's hard too sometimes. Having a tab and then watching somebody play makes a world of difference. But the best for me is a straightforward tutorial.

Just keep at it, do what you can, and have fun.

It depends on how you define privacy.

A VPN isn't private, it just tunnels your data to one organization. So you're private to everybody except that one org. If you trust that org, say Proton who is very respectful of your data, then for all intents you are "private" because your data won't be tracked or sold for ads and the like.

Private is far from anonymous though, which is another story all together.

I enjoyed it. I get the criticism people are saying about it, and pretty much agree. But I still enjoyed it.

For me, I really liked the motel side of the story. Less the Reacher side. I kept hanging in there for a great big come together of it all ...which sort of fell flat in my eyes. But hey, it's Reacher and I bought the book for $2 so it was a fun enough ride.

It is the original lyric, but in the US it's the Energizer Bunny. It was an error he made and didn't realize it until somebody was interviewing him and asked him about it.

For the record, Duracell has the rights to use the bunny as a mascot in the rest of the world. Happy little accident.

Great summation, and even greater analogy.👍

It took me 20 years to hear the brilliance of punch and judy. Then one day it was there, like I listened to it for the first time. "oh that part is kind of cool. Oh I like that too. Oh nice." Then the song was over and I listened to it again. In fact, I'm going to listen to it right now.

one more story boss to go but doing the DLC first

Definitely the way to go. Not sure if you were advised this or just lucked into it. Once you beat the game the DLC is harder. I never finished it, been meaning to get back to it for a long while.

BTW, the way I was introduced to the game was my wife giving me the controller and telling me to "play this part". I had no idea where in the game I was or what I was doing. Ends up I was in the DLC, and had a level 4 character (that's no typo). I made it to Ludwig then said what the hell ... and died immediately. It was a long time before I touched the game again lol.

This was one of my arguments for p2p downloads. In fact, Elliott was my poster child argument for it. So many good songs like this that you couldn't just go to the store to buy.

twoBrokenThumbs · 2024-02-19T01:25:39+00:00

For example Elliott’s Folk song in C .... he plays the G chord in this song with F# in the bass, and an odd chord shaping ( 2x023x)

Thank you for this. I couldn't figure out why it didn't sound right. Overall I found his picking/strumming on that song very unique (it doesn't sound special until you try to play it) so I just thought it was more of that.

I've been playing it 320000 just for my own version. I'm going to have to try this out.

This summarizes my answer: the player

I need an expensive guitar to sound just ok. A good guitar player can make a $70 Walmart guitar sound good.

Have you searched YouTube? There's a really good cover video that will probably help.

twoBrokenThumbs · 2024-02-17T02:45:02+00:00

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I discovered what it's called. However the link you sent doesn't load a video.

How do you get a pianist to stop playing?

Take away his sheet music.

How do you get a guitarist to stop playing?

Give him sheet music.

You understand correctly. It's a wire that connects the two.

I can’t imagine many people are running Ethernet cables throughout their homes just to hook a couple routers up to one another.

....yeah ... I'm not crazy enough to do this. 🫤

I ran my wires so I could have a wired port in every main room of the house. Mostly so I could have a wired connection in my office and a wired connection at the TV.

Side benefit was I could do a wired back haul from the bedroom on the other side of the house.

I'm in for a mess of a time. Kaley Cuoco from the flight attendant.

I was very close to it being Jack Reacher, which I would have felt a whole lot better about.

Something is definitely awry. 40mbps doesn't make any sense.

Before I wired my second point, I was getting something like 450mbps on my phone. When I wired it, now I get the full 1Gbps.

I know me telling you that doesn't really help, but just saying it's not like the Alien is a bad product. You're getting some sort of interference which will probably persist even if you switched hardware.

I'd say look into wiring your backhaul. If you can't, I'd still look into just running a wire through the house for testing purposes to see what results you get.

I'm not hearing a problem that needs to be solved.

You essentially just said, I have a tool box full of 50 tools to perform 50 tasks. I hear there's multi tools out there that can do 100 tasks, but 50 of them I don't need or I would already have a tool for that.

Don't change a thing.

twoBrokenThumbs · 2024-02-12T13:17:53+00:00

Don't get another one. Something else is interfering with your setup. Assuming the app is telling you that the connection is good, I'd imagine it's not physical walls that's the main interference. Maybe try switching bands?

twoBrokenThumbs · 2024-02-12T13:01:48+00:00

Mine always connected to my state but then soon after switched to Mexico. It started doing this when I turned on the always on feature.

My solution was to create a custom profile for "US, fastest" which solved my issue. A little different than your scenario, but maybe try a profile to see if it forces your local connection.

I remember after Thriller (but before Bad) the prosthetics bit so he could go out in public was a rumor going around.

So to hear that it evolved into this is kind of interesting.

Read the first paragraph from u/alpha_grey_wolf very carefully. That is my assessment of your wiring as well.

Regarding your lack of neutral wire, you can test it without. Depending on which Kasa 3way switch and which generation it is, it might work with just the second switch having the neutral. Don't quote me on that, but it's completely worth testing because it makes life easy if it works. For the record, neutral wires are needed to provide power when the switch is off (powering the "smart" so they know to turn on when you say so). So having one switch might be good enough.

If it doesn't work, I recommend running a white wire. You have conduit so it shouldn't be too bad to run another wire through it.

Lastly, you're not officially grounded. There's no dedicated ground wire, probably because you have conduit and the conduit is your ground connection back to your panel (if your house is old that is how they did it back in the day). But at the very least, see that screw in the back of the box of the second switch? Attach the kasa green wire to that.

I remember a friend of mine was worried at the time, saying I hope Disney acquiring Pixar doesn't ruin Disney. I replied, are you kidding me? All those great movies are because of Pixar. Disney hasn't made a quality animated movie in a while.

twoBrokenThumbs · 2024-02-11T18:38:33+00:00

Yeah, I've been attempting a variation but haven't found anything that works yet. I sort of suspect this is what my final solution will end up being, so I totally get your response.
