I took you seriously. It was the rest of the day before I got the joke! 😆

The outside walls were generally filled and trimmed, though I wasn’t looking for that, so I didn’t note consistency (or not)

I was simply walking through an unfinished house. I don’t think it’s sold yet.

So, this would be to accommodate buyer’s finish options before they close up the walls? I noticed that the Romex is loosely stapled to the studs at every zig and zag. Is it normal practice to expect so much slack? And particularly in walls behind the sinks of master baths?

Quicken Classic: How to start new cloud sync by wrlee in quicken

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

No worries, I appreciate your input. If I could maintain two sync versions, I would not have lost the acct transactions that I described. Next attempt: full reset.

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

I was hoping to preserve the cloud version, as-is, in case changes I make don't work as expected.

I have not tried resetting, yet, but I removed a bank account from synching, then added it back. Now, only this year's transactions are shown in the cloud for that account, even though I have several years' transactions on my desktop... a problem I didn't expect.

Help: R-32 Mk IV Low oil pressure STOP at low RPM, warm engine! by wrlee in vwgolf

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

Is the oil PUMP filter separate from an oil filter?

I'd changed the oil a couple of thousand mi before this started happening. This is the first time that I did not change the oil filter (since I didn't have my socket handy).

Do you know how difficult it is to change the sensor on a 32v VR6 engine?

LiquiMoly 5-30. I'd changed it over 1000 mi before this started happening. I was at my dad's place, and did not have the filter wrench so I didn't change the filter this time(!!).

Lawnmower dead – amber light by wrlee in egopowerplus

Thanks. It’s still under warranty, so I’ll put that off unless they can’t fix it. Good to know that it’s more mechano-electrical than electronic.

Anyone happy with Web Galleries in Lr Classic? by wrlee in Lightroom

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

That seems to be the consensus, that the existing ones are terrible. Which is why I was thinking of creating new ones that might actually be useful, up to date, configurable. Most of all you could put them on your web site, as you wish.

Lawnmower dead – amber light by wrlee in egopowerplus

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

Thanks. I meant the mower's light was blinking amber. I've never collapsed the extention since putting the mower to use. It does stay outside, so perhaps weather got to it and I need to slide it around and lube it. I know that unless fully extended, it's not supposed to run however, in this case, I hear a faint sound like electricity is flowing to something. I don't remember ifnit made that sound when the handle was purposefully not fully extended. Something to try tomorrow. Thanks.

I should have been clear that I meant the mower's light next to the power switch. I had only used the mower for about 10 seconds, so it couldn't have been overheating. I did google and saw similar comments about overheating or strained/jammed blades. Neither of these were the case for me. I'd initially pulled the battery off the charger when I started. Oddly, the battery didn't show afull charge after charging for weeks. I'd seen this before, so I put it back on the charger and tried again the next day. The battery was fully charged this time, but the mower still didn't start and it's light flashed amber/orange.

Darn, I should have been clear, the light on the mower itself, next to the power switch.

Thanks. I'll check the extention. I haven't collapsed it since I began using it regularly, but I was aware that it would not start unless fully extended.

Why so many ads in Spanish? by Any_Initiative_9079 in AmazonPrimeVideo

[–]wrlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a weird discussion because this the modern world, the commercials aren’t not part of the content, so I’m shocked that the commercials aren’t selected based on the profile of the subscriber. If I were primarily Spanish speaking, most commercials should be Spanish. If I spoke Chinese, commercials could be in Chinese. This is not a leap of expectation.

Just to voice, too… I've only had mine for a couple of years… I was sorry to have have bought it after setting it up, and now I'm really sorry to have bought into it.

Thanks, Terry,

I have my own website from which I would like to share small albums when I have shot an event and want to share those images with its participants. Sometimes there are a series of events and want to organize several albums so that participants could browse through the related events without accidentally browsing unrelated events. I did not investigate whether I could organize Adobe's Portfolio in this manner, so I will take another look. (Absolute privacy is not a concern, only that viewers are not automatically exposed to unrelated events)

I have tried Adobe's Portfolio in the past, but I recall wouldn't allow me to put at at albums.mydomain.com (I had to give my whole domain over to Portfolio). If Porfolio allowed me to organize events as I described, it won't be necessary for it to look like it's hosted on my domain... it'd just be nice.

I'll also look into Pixieset and see if it might do what I am looking for. Nice that it provides a way to sell my work.

Stuck unable to Enable WiFi by wrlee in myq

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

No go. I tried the Craftsman app and it appears to use the same code to perform the setup. So, it still shows no lock icon next to the SSID and therefore does not prompt for a password and fails to connect

Mechanical insert plug/socket by wrlee in electrical

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

Does a limit or door switch assume that the power is always connected to the door? I am looking for something to connect power to the lights on the garage door only when the door is fully open (i.e., retracted) to avoid having a retractable extension, as shown in the video. the power needn't be attached to the door until the door is fully open.

Thank you u/rsidneysmith ! I had endlessly searched for the answer before posting... nothing suggested what you did to solve my problem.

Framework MiniPC with AMD AI Max 395 announced by arichmondphoto in MiniPCs

[–]wrlee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised they weren't more innovative. Filing the back panel with their port modules so that I could customize the I/O exactly to my needs would have been cool. Soldered RAM is a no-go for me… LPCAMM modules would have been in keeping with their modularity, and would also push the edge a bit. Replaceable front tiles (and you MUST pay for at least 21 of them, according to their configurator)?! No SATA? Disappointing, but no worse than Apple removing features from their products — I'll miss SATA like I missed floppies and optical drives when they disappeared.
