Water heater shit the bed after 25 years of use! in c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

25 years is fantastic. 3x what my last one did. We now have a softener and I'm purging it occasionally. Going for 12 years (9.5 left) before I'll need to convert to electric.

    This happened to me on a regular basis for a couple years, just sans medication.

    Coming to in the parking lot or badging in and realizing you have no idea what happened between getting in the car and now.

    3am start times with a 20min drive will do that to you.

    • And Make It A Yummy One in c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
    Been making my own coffee at work in c/Dullsters@dullsters.net

    Rejoined the red team (lemmy.world)
     

    I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

    HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

    I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

    No ragrets.

    No regerts.

    Team red 4lyfe (again).

    Installed a 40amp car charger (lemmy.world)
     

    Installed a 40amp circuit for the EVs after charging a PHEV for 5 years and a BEV truck for almost a year on a single 15amp circuit.

    50ft x 8 AWG x 4 wires isn't cheap ($1.32/ft with tax), plus conduit, straps, breaker, wet location boxes and outlet cover and the extra cost for an EV rated outlet.

    Wasn't room between the post and the garage door king stud for a flush mount box, oh well.

    I'll pay the electrician for a proper hard-wired charger when we upgrade service and run it from the main panel instead.

    Fixed the toaster (lemmy.world)
     

    I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don't have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).

    I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it's always nice to have a reason to get new tools.

    In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.
