Yeah. Looks good. Thanks Otter!
One thing to think about is that recently we had a few requests to create a rule about quality sources. I was always torn about it. The post with links to bad sources/bad science brought out some of the highest engagement from the whole community and spurred some great educational dialogs.
I don’t like the idea of keeping a disallowed list of sources. Nor do I like the idea of debating source quality.
Great to hear!
Where are you located? How harsh of winters do you get? How wet is your spring?
I’ve always been interested in doing this. Winters are fairly mild here in my part of the PNW, but have doubts that I wouldn’t just have a mud pit in the fall/spring.
Ooooo. That’s fun.
Got any pictures of the wintertime? Curious what it looks like then.
I’d be happy to moderate on mander.xyz if we consolidate over there.
Agreed. Consolidation would benefit the community and likely help it grow further. I don’t know much about mander.xyz, but I’m not attached to LW.
I’d be happy to continue moderating if we migrate elsewhere.
Edit: I just noticed how small mander.xyz community is, 90/month vs 4k/month.
Whoa. What? Having gas appliances increases insurance? I’ve never been asked if my home has gas appliances by an insurance company.
How many subscribers do you have?
Nice. I might copy your idea.
Wild stuff!
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this as my desktop background this morning.
Do you think deepseek is “on top”?
None of the photos are loading for me…even when I visit slrpnk.net
Let’s see anyone update or the finished board!
I actually just repleace mine. I found that it was actually getting pretty slow at browsing the web. Websites have so much garbage code running on them these days. Funny that the new Samsung phones have the same amount of RAM and storage.
Also, the security updates thing was getting to me. I have way to much banking info exposed on my phone to keep using it out of security update window.
My understanding is that post NEC 2023 tandem breakers will not meet code. Yes, you can still buy them and yes I could put them in without people knowing…but that’s not the way I do upgrades. You can still buy quad breakers but I don’t think those ever met code.
Thanks for the info. I likely could be fine with a 20a/240v circuit…but i don’t even have that available currently. I’ll do some more research on the tandem breakers.
I see you didn’t really read what I wrote and are just talking about running a new circuit. That is one of the 3 upgrades I need.
A panel upgrade is not a small operation and I highly doubt anyone could do it in under an hour. A panel upgrade consists of removing all breakers from the panel, disconnecting all wires, disconnecting all conduits from the panel pulling all wires out of the panel, (in my case enlarging the hole in the wall for the new panel), reinserting all wires, attaching conduit, redoing internal panel wiring, and putting breakers back in.
I’ve done plenty of basic electrical work. Electrical work is not complex, it just takes the knowledge of what is to code and if there are specialty codes for the state, county and/or city. I do not have time to study all the code and plan the upgrade.
Future proofing upgrades is very much in my interest. If I have to touch something or upgrade something…its going to be overdesigned/overbuilt because I don’t ever want to have to touch it again.
Chevy bolts do not charge as fast as others…but it’s more about having the time to go to a fast charger. Of the places i frequent for groceries, etc. None of them have charging stations. Between work and little kids, doesn’t leave alot of time for errands.
It’s an awesome place. Come join us.
