Use different search engines for different things, spread your data around.

That is the only thing that makes sense. I may have to just check EVERY GFCI in the whole house. I wouldn’t put it past the builder to do something crazy with the wiring….

I was using the voltage detector just to see if ANY wire was live in the switch. Which none were. I’ll try the multimeter.

AFAIK the switch is one-way. The circuit breaker has it labeled, “Dining Room/HallCloset.” The hall closet only has two functioning light switches—inside closet light and outside hall light—and there’s an outlet in closet, too, which is functional.

Ah, thought the GFCI was it! but the three outlets anywhere near the light seem engaged.

Circuit breaker is all good, flipped anything near the dining room off and on. Nada.

Not getting any power through the wall switch wires using my voltage detector.

Yeah. Crazy, right?

 

My wife turned on the wall switch and the pendant light over our dining room table went out. The fuse outside didn’t blow—none of them needed to be reset. I checked for power in the light’s hanging cord, but nothing. I pulled the wall switch to check for power and nothing there either. Thoughts?

Funny story, those guys lost ALL my data a few years ago.

They didn’t “choose to,” they “got to!” What an honor! 🙄

Did the same thing. Got them using FOSS apps on Windows (Firefox, LibreOffice, Thunderbird), then switched them and made Linux look like Windows. They never cared, kept on using it like nothing changed.

 

From TECO: "With the help of 6,000 utility workers, we expect to restore power for essentially all customers in the coming days. Many will have power sooner; more extensive damage may take longer."

I like MyRadar.

Can confirm. Had it my whole life. If you shout “turn right,” there’s a 50/50 chance I’ll get it right, but my brain is just guessing. I have to stop and think about it to know for sure. I would make a shit Rally driver…

That description might actually stick in my brain.

 

This study is from 2017, but I suspect the numbers are even worse now.

 

Those channels give the burrito moisture somewhere to go so the tortilla stays dry. 👍

 

I love Digikam, but fixing photos is a lot of work. So I use Luminar NEO to get looks that would take hours I don’t want to spend. Is there an open source alternative to Neo? Something that supports LUTs, presets, etc? Thx.

 

It takes a few minutes for my tankless water heater to warm up, so we end up wasting a lot of water in our shower. Is there a way to avoid this? A friend mentioned a “comfort valve” or something? What is it and how does it work? Or is there another solution? Thx!
