If I could give 1000 updoots I would. I've been trying to find this podcast again for years!

I loved my G2.

It's in my nightstand drawer now, plump from bad battery bloat. I ran it for 10 years as my bedside alarm clock. It ran a long gone app called NightClock.

The recent 4K release is getting trashed for how bad the AI did "upscaling" or whatever the AI did. I liked this video about it.

Thanks for the reply.

Yesterday I was able to determine which outside outlet was causing the GFCI to trip and I connected everything else up on the basement outlet and it didn't trip. I went back to it again tonight, pulled apart the basement outlet again and did the same tests with the multimeter I did yesterday and I didn't get the weird 101, just another 0.7.

So I wired it all together again and it's working, not tripping now.

I now suspect that the outside outlet got wet, since it rained yesterday. Does what I observed make sense if there was water inside the outlet? I pulled both outside outlets apart yesterday in my testing, and put them back together better. But it also rained today, though an outside deck light was plugged into it yesterday so maybe that allowed water in. I'm going to replacing the box cover (looks like this) with a plastic flip cover one this weekend.

FWIW, this GFCI has been tripping on the regular every few months. We has suspected the old refrigerator in the garage was the problem, because if we unplugged it the GFCI wouldn't trip. Once we simply replaced the extension chord to the fridge with a better one and it stopped tripping. Once we blamed a kid for running a space heater. Often we'd plug the fridge into a different outlet with an extension chord into the house and wait a couple hours before plugging it back into the garage outlet and it would be fine again. I thought maybe something in the basement could start running at the same time, like maybe the water softener and water heater and the fridge all kicked in at the same moment, but yesterday it was tripping with everything unplugged. So I finally got around to checking the whole breaker and finding every outlet on it. This confirmed that the other appliances are not on the same breaker, which I expected. It's garage lights and 5 garage outlets (3 wall, 2 ceiling for door openers), one outlet in the basement and two outside outlets. (Annoyingly the previous owners or the builders labeled the circuit "garage lights and laundry" but none of it is laundry.) The GFCI was tripping but only killing the 3 garage wall outlets, basement outlet and the two outside outlets.

Anyway, thanks again for the detailed response. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the reply.

You are right, the 101V one would trip the GFCI. I traced it to the backyard outlet. I connected everything else yesterday and left it like that and it was fine today.

I went back to it again this evening, pulled apart the basement outlet and tested them all again. It was giving 122, 0.7 and 0.7, so no weird 101 today. I wired it all back together tonight and it's not tripping. IDK what happened, but I think the outlet might have gotten wet. I pulled apart each outlet yesterday and put them back together better, but I can't remember what order I did what. I'm going to leave it like this with a lamp for the next few days on so I'll know if it trips again.

Here are pictures of the other black to white multimeter readings.

The 01.9 will reduce to 0.7 if I hold it there a while.

 

I have a GFCI in the garage that tripped and keeps tripping. I traced it to an outlet in the basement but there is something weird going on. I'm not an electrician, but I've done a bit of wiring, but I don't know how to interpret this.

In the picture is the basement outlet pulled apart and the power is on and the GFCI is reset and working. This basement outlet has 3 14/2 cables coming in. I think one is power from the garage, and the other two lead to outlets outside the house. I checked the wires until I found 120V and then marked them with yellow tape, which is what is shown in the image.

However, if I connect the multimeter to the black/yellow and one of the other whites I get a reading of 101.8, and the other white reads 0.7. This shouldn't be happening, right?

I've got a couple questions about this.

If the timestamp is off, how does the share link with timestamp work?

If I quit watching the video when an ad starts and then start watching it again, does it continue with the ad? I watch yt on my Samsung tv and it's an ad minefield, but it's kinda fun and easy to report the ads or quit the vid and start it again to avoid the ads. Id rather spend 30 seconds bouncing around menus than watching ads for stuff I don't use.

If it's injected video, can I just skip ahead like I do for sponsored content?

Anyone who sees this sort of shit should take some hand lotion out of their bag, lather up and then walk around the vehicle leaving handprints along the way.

I'm a little late to this post but if I remember correctly, and for anyone who needs something to research, Tommy Chong drives hot wheels cars across women's breasts at the end of a good bad movie named Evil Bong (2006).

 

My daughter (19) works at a warehouse job and listens to a lot of audiobooks.

I'd like to gift her a subscription to a service, but I don't know much about the options. She had audible for a while. I just use Libby.

What audio book services do you recommend?

We all know and love martial artist stuntman turned actor Paul Logan and his filmography, but did you know there is an internet influencer turned actor turned boxer named Logan Paul who's been in some low rated movies, souring our main man Paul's good names? Well here is your chance to throw your hat in the ring and vote for your Logan of choice in 5 rounds of movie vs movie, Logan vs Paul, democratically elected bad movie b-movie bliss. I'll propose two movies each round, one movie from each Logan, and we all vote on which Paul movie we watch. Who will win, Paul Paul or Logan Logan?

This Bad Movie Marathon starts at 11 AM CST (4PM GMT) on Saturday October 7th. Point your browser at our Cytube channel badmovies.fun. You can also join our discord to be part of the voice chat (or just listen, you can type chat in the Cytube channel.)

 

I'm so happy to see a Kenshi community on Lemmy. I'm a new player and it's been keeping me up way too late. I'm over 100 hours of playtime now on a second start.

After my first start I wasn't getting it and gave up. A few months later I was watching a YouTuber named ambiguousamphibian who has some pretty fun Kenshi runs and through his play it explained some of the things I was doing wrong. I'm watching a crazy 80+ series now by Raycon Roleplays now.

Do you have any recommendations for Kenshi related videos?
