Around here Jersey Mike’s is the bomb. They are the best sub shop by far.

I had a similar screened in area on my back deck. Only difference is it was on an elevated deck. I tore out the wainscoting, rewired the electrical, added structure for windows and installed double pane windows and doors, had the entire structure spray foam insulated… walls, under floor, and ceiling, laid plywood floor over decking and hung drywall. Added a split A/C unit, recessed lighting and a fan. All pretty simple since the structure was already there and pretty sound. I did end up going back and adding additional spray in insulation in the attic space above the addition. If I were in your case I would do the same, but it sounds like you already have the windows, but I would put 2 inches of foam board plus vapor barrier over the concrete to insulate the floor. Not idea to have a step up into the room, but concrete is a terrible insulator, I know this from finishing my basement which was all cendor blocks and concrete.

I have been running a cheap box fan face down on a Corsi-Rosenthal Box for a year now with no problems. Anecdotal of course.

I would recommend power washing to remove any peeling paint and grime. Then sand/fill/sand the necessary spots. You can safely paint over the old paint as long as the old paint’s adherence to the wood is good and your new paint will stick to it. If in doubt start with a primer coat. The primer coat would probably be recommended for the patched areas anyway.

I will have to look at Libro.fm a little closer. I thought they were just free books, I guess I had them conflated with librivox.org where I regularly go to get older books that are in the public domain. One down side that I saw was that the price per credit was about 50% higher than what I am paying, but if they have the same selection of popular books I will consider them before my next credit renewal.

There are so many complex applications that I can’t believe are free: KDenLive, Gimp, Audacity, Firefox, Discord, Calibre, Jellyfin, Rainmeter, Godot, Retroarch

I see a few people down voted this, I would appreciate any feedback as to why? This is in Self Promotion and I am trying to self promote :)

Controlling the humidity in the house with a dehumidifier is a good thing and a great start. Check for any active leaks, specifically in any places where you have spotted water damage. Check for any drywall that is soft, specifically around the top or bottom of the drywall. Go outside and check the caulk around windows, the window ledgers, especially if the ledgers use any mortar, and flashing around the roof. You should take a hose and lightly spray, simulating rain and wind, with someone inside checking for leaks. Since you have a basement, look for any areas that might hold water around the foundation, check your gutters to make sure they are in good working order and the drains are directing the water away from the foundation and in a direction where the water can drain away from the house. You didn’t mention if your bathrooms vent to the outside (and not just into the attic either), if they don’t you will want to either vent them outside or include that in your dehumidifier/AC calculations. Check your dryer vent to make sure it is clean and vents outside as well.

If you can stop any leaks you find, control the humidity in the house, and wash with soap and water any exposed surfaces that may have had mold growth, I think you should be fine. I recommend you purchase some mold test kits and check for mold in the air just to be safe.

While tattoos have become more acceptable over the years, I can’t not secretly judge people that have hand or above the neck line tattoos. Of course the placement, style, and number all play a part in my judgement :) Tattoos on any other body parts don’t trigger me though.

These laws differ widely from state to state and there are different requirements for minors and adults.

One of my most “this isn’t what it looks like” moments? Picture this: it’s dark, I’m in the campus parking lot, and I’m standing next to my truck with a crowbar, trying to break off a locking gas cap. Earlier that day, I’d discovered the lock was stuck and just spun uselessly when I tried to get gas.

For context, I’d bought the locking cap because of a recent string of gas thefts on campus (including from my own truck), so yeah—ironic. Just as I’m mid-pry, campus security pulled up. It looked exactly as bad as you’d imagine. They actually didn’t give me any trouble at all. They asked what I was doing and then went on their way. I suspect it was because I didn’t have any type of fuel container or siphoning gear, I also hadn’t tried to hide what I was doing.

So a little anticlimactic as these types of stories go, but I was relieved when they drove off and the mangled gas cap finally popped off.

I don’t know about it resonating nor was it a single episode, but I still remember the Luke and Laura arc on General Hospital. I don’t know why it intrigued me at the time but I would always stop and watch when they were on the screen.

Wow, this just blew my mind. I never thought about the TARDIS in quite this way kind of like a Russian nesting doll. I do recall in one episode with Tom Baker, Logopolis, the Doctor Jettisoned a significant part of the the TARDIS to escape a trap by the Master. This didn’t seem to compromise the TARDIS in any significant way. I always imagined the lost room could be easily replaced given a little time and effort.

I use Emby and catalog my music using MusicBrainz Picard. Before Emby I used Ampache but I want to serve up as much of my media through the same interface as possible. Adding all the proper metadata and sorting the music can be time consuming, but it makes all the difference in serving up the music properly. Music is much more varied than Movies or even TV so it is a bit more difficult to get right and there are sooo many artists. MusicBrainz Picard makes it pretty easy though. I will be checking out Beets.io after reading this thread to see if it can help any more with organizing my library.

This is anecdotal, but I put in ceiling LEDs in my kitchen and sun room about 11 years ago. About 16 in all. The lights are turned on and off multiple times a day, every day. I have not had a single one fail. Since then I have probably put in nearly twice that many in other places, but they have only been in place for a few years at most and typically get less use. I have not had a single one of these LEDs go out. My guess is because the circuitry can dissipate the heat and that seems to be what kills the replaceable LED bulbs. Speaking of which, over that same time period I have went through more than three dozen replaceable LED bulbs. I think on average I replace at least one bulb every 2-3 months.

Very nice! Though it looks like your micro inverters are mounted right where water would be coming through, looks like they would be easy to relocate though. It is possible to use a combination of t-molding on the top along with caulk between the panels to reduce water penetration cheaply and easily, while not being 100% water tight it gets pretty close.

This reminds me that I am stuck on Dev is You, level 19! Probably been stuck for a couple of years now. Now I need to go and try again.

Looney Tunes - Back in Action for the PlayStation 2. There is this jump that Daffy has to do between two pillars that is driving me crazy. The two pillars have buttons on them that Bugs and Daffy have to stand on to open a door. Getting to the top of the pillars is pretty easy now, but takes some amount of time and you have to fight with the camera. When Daffy makes contact with the second pillar he always jumps off because I don’t stop his “flight” in time.

Sounds like fun, but I refuse to call them toots!
