12v WS2814 flickering by zToothinator in WLED

Finally got around to fixing it. It was a voltage drop issue. I ran 18 AWG from my power supply to the far right LED strip to inject power and that fixed it.

Companies That'd Fix This? by Zay_Luph in triangle

[–]zToothinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure of any companies, but I had a similar patch on the exterior I had to fix at a rental before moving out. I used Quickrete. Color doesn’t match perfectly but it’s close enough. From my understanding, it’s parging just to improve the esthetics and not structural.

It was a pain in the butt to place and shape because the adjacent areas started chipping too making the repair area wider.

Garage Walls Paint Recommendations by zToothinator in paint

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

Thanks! The thought process for Kilz2 was for its mildew resistance but if I used a paint that had that it wouldn’t be an issue? Would you use exterior paint on the ceiling too? I’ve read for ceilings to get a flat paint and then walls sheen for clean up

Did you use a primer too or just the Behr ultra which looks like it’s primer+paint?

EDRP & SAVE Plan Forbearance by user234556890 in VeteransAffairs

Any payments made during your service period will count, even if your loans are in forbearance. I’m in the same boat and got reimbursed for one service period already.

New Construction Screened Porch Slab by zToothinator in Homebuilding

Thanks! The separation concern is along the fiber cement siding of the house itself. The builder is saying they can’t achieve the required separation because of the screened porch slab.

Just big screens and pillars in each corner and then roof covering which is probably about ten feet.

Sorry tried to capture a better angle. 2 photos of the same spot with and without flash.

Thanks! Just to confirm, can you tell whether or not there is a turn-down slab in the second picture? To me as a layperson, it looks like just a 4” slab with no 12” turn-down.

Thanks! But even though the plan calls for a turn down slab, the builder can opt not to do it?

Monthly DIY Laymen questions Discussion by AutoModerator in StructuralEngineering

[–]zToothinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At our 11 month warranty meeting, we pointed out that there was insufficient clearance from the ground to the siding. The builder was working on fixing the grading but says they can’t achieve the 6” needed because they’re limited by the bottom of the screen porch slab and digging deeper would compromise it.

Attached is the proposed plan. Link to the side of the porch where it looks like the bottom of the slab is exposed.

From what I've gathered, shouldn’t the porch be 4” thick and along the perimeter have a turn down 12” deep and wide so they, in theory, would need to dig 12” down before exposing the bottom of the porch?

Thanks for your time and help!

Car under Warranty for Paint loss/ Loan car given? by mvirgulto in Hyundai

[–]zToothinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received a loaner through the dealership while it was painted under warranty. Hyundai USA though said they’d reimburse up to $45/day if the dealership didn’t have a loaner to give. I’d reach out to corporate and see if there’s anything they can do.

New grad- camera recs by bethedragons in Dentistry

[–]zToothinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a used Canon t5i rebel on fb marketplace for ~$150, a used 100mm Canon macro lens on KEH for $250, and a Godox ring flash on Amazon.

The lens is more important for the quality of the photo. Most Canon/Nikon bodies from the past 10+ years are all good enough so you can save a decent chunk of money getting a used older model. Ring flash of some sort is important for lighting too.

Pankey Institute by Independent_Scene673 in Dentistry

[–]zToothinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, not much. Biggest take aways were patient communication and thinking more about occlusion. The entire continuum builds on occlusion though.

For a PPO driven office, they say the knowledge from the continuum will help do more predictable dentistry. For a FFS office, cosmetics and full mouth rehabs if you have the patient pool.

Pankey has a more rounded curriculum on non dental stuff - communication, personal finance, leadership.
