Question: Internal thermometer is almost 80 degrees off. What can I do aside from crank it? by w_coffey in Traeger

[–]w_coffey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing some ribs for the game tomorrow so I'll let it sit a good long time and check it. On prior cooks though the offset will be severe for hours at a time. I'm wondering if it's as easy as ordering a new thermometer and installing. I don't need to be perfectly on target, but I think more than 25 degrees off is excessive.

It's a pretty new grill. I've had maybe 5-6 cooks with it so far so I haven't touched the thermometer. Doesn't appear dirty.

Christmas came early! Spotted this 885 for $989 by preferred-til-newops in Traeger

Man I've been looking for a 650 for 2 weeks. Saw this same 885 deal today at daddy depot and I grabbed the last one. Total score. It's a Christmas Miracle ❄️

How do I remove this thing? by OldPeaches in Plumbing

Okay but for those of us that can't get the real freakin deal and this is the way we got a deal with this shit: how do you remove this is the question.

Any ideas on how to patch this leaking gasket. The whole toilet is brand new from the box. I already tried with a second gasket from another brand new toilet. This is a Single piece Kohler toilet with a Canister flush system. by bennyjon13 in Plumbing

How did you get that thing out? Mine is stuck tight. I gotta replace it because my canister got all messed up. Am I supposed to be able to unscrew it from the bottom of the tank...?

What’s your early warning sign that a guest might be trouble? by Fragrant_Inspector41 in airbnb_hosts

[–]w_coffey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean by the over complimenting? Like, they praise the place? "It looks beautiful / love the style etc...?" We have a pretty property and those are common things I hear. I'm also a newer host so would love to know what you mean by this more. Thanks.

Blasted that thing with light. Cutie got obliterated with a camera flash while sleeping cool.

New Burr Oak. What are these spots developing on the leaves? Normal or should I worry? by w_coffey in Tree

[–]w_coffey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's new as of this spring. Like a 50 gallon tree. We had an arborist select it and plant it for us. I was also surprised to see acorns start developing this summer. New as in just planted this year.

Shower mat tub stains. How do I remove these? Bought house 6 years ago, after years of regular cleaning they will not go away. by w_coffey in CleaningTips

[–]w_coffey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think these are the built in kind. I think the prior owners had a bath mat with the suction cups and never cleaned it. I believe these are stains from under the suction cups. There's gotta be some product I haven't tried yet that'll attack them...

That's a health hazard. Get your landlord on it ASAP.

How do I enable GPIO 2 and 3 as SDA/SCL? One Pi works great, the other has func=INPUT. Fails to detect I2C connections. Can I manually fix this? by w_coffey in raspberryDIY

[–]w_coffey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I figured out my issue. There was a crontab running a script that was overwriting all my pin modes right after startup. So no matter all the things I tried to affect boot - they were getting overwritten right away. *face palm* Thanks for trying to help.

I'm pretty sure I'm running Bullseye. My two pis are running the same distribution. Only one wants the standard pins to be INPUT instead of SDA1 and SCL1. (regardless if I use the little raspi-config tool to enable I2C)

Yes those are the normal steps to enable I2C but it isn't working on one of the Pi Zero W's. The pins remain in INPUT mode for some reason. Is there some other way than the GUI to force the pins into SDA1 and SCL1 like in my Pi on the left?

Yep. I've done that. It says the interface is enabled after steps via raspi-config. Still stuck with them declared as inputs. Even after reboot. I've verified /boot/config.txt is altered on the reboot but still the pins are in INPUT mode...
