Evolv-ing Thread

Soft cell cutoff is "voltage under load", I can'y see how that's going to work out. Just thinking out loud.

Ah, didn't think about that, good point. Well I can set it to get close then watch it plugged in and under device monitor as I vape on it to get down where it should be. Most of these lipo's are soldered in so I can't use a charger that will pull them down, don't have one anyways.

Well unless, just had another thought, can't I set the max charge voltage at the point below with a drag and drop making a new csv charge file and make that work? If I can I could pull them under then charge them back up to a cutoff of 3.80-3.85v

Those only effect battery gauge and % readings (guesstamations)

Ah, well I'll just have to keep and eye on them while bringing them down. No easy shortcuts I guess, not a big deal.

We do have higher prices for everything here in Canada and our dollar has the suck...

But, I can walk into any hospital or my doctors office with any kind of issue and not have to take out a mortgage afterwards. I know you guys have EMTALA down there, but someone else ends up paying part of that bill.

Flotrol can be purchased at most hardware stores, not sure if SW carries it.

To fix your drywall paper peel you'll have to cut around the paper peel first with a razor sharp box cutter. You need to cut it back away from the peeled area far enough so that there is no loose paper at the edges and peel out all the paper in the middle. Next appy all-purpose drywall mud to fill the void. It may take 2 or 3 coats of all purpose mud to make it come out ALMOST flush with the wall because all purpose shrinks alot as it dries. I say "almost" flush because you want it to be slightly recessed once it fully dries. Each time you apply the all purpose mud make sure you cut the excess off flush with wall because that stuff is a bear to sand. Once that's bone dry (usually 48-72hrs) apply one coat of lightweight drywall mud and leave it 1/16" thick over the repaired area and beyond about 2". Once that's dry (usually 12hrs) lightly sand with 120 grit sandpaper. Lightweight mud is super easy to sand but you need to use a flat sanding block or a drywall sanding block to keep from accidentally gouging the mud back out or sanding through the paint into the paper. Once it's sanded down flat with the wall you're ready to prime and paint. It'll take two coats of primer and least two coats of paint to get the sheen to match the surrounding wall. When applying the primer and all but the final coat of paint try to apply it only to the repaired area so as not to cause layers of paint to build up on the unrepaired areas. Typically we apply the final coat of paint to the entire wall section so the sheen is even throughout.

You can cheat some of the steps I outlined and it may look ok but to get it to look like it never happened you'll have to do the whole nine yards.

The spots are really small, there's two of them & both are under panels over/under a hole in the drywall (outlet, bathroom exhaust fan) looks like someone peeled it off when they took off the panel... I've fixed those before with the rx glue stuff & mud but those were big spots, do I really need to mud & glue for tiny ones? I was hoping I could just use spackle

You'll be fine with that filter, that's the same setup as at my daughter's house, her's in also in the hallway at a vent up on the ceiling. It catches the dust and pet hair, it will clean all you need. If your's is closer to the floor it may catch more then her's being up high and may need to be rinsed more often, they clean her's once every spring and it seems to be enough.

Also depends on how much you run it, her husband is cheap and there is a constant battle at their house, she turns the temp cooler and he turns it back up to save money. He'll also shut it off when they leave the house, when you walk in on a hot summer day after the ac has been off all day it will be like an oven in there. I told him if he'd leave it on but maybe set a tad higher it wouldn't take so damn long to cool the whole house back down once they get home and may not cost any more to run it but it's their place, their battle, to each their own, I just feel sorry for the cat and dogs.

Reminds me of my old roommate, he used to turn the heat/ac off to the point where I had to get my own heater & window ac for my room, & it would always be super hot/cold in the rest of the house, I'd see him wearing winter coats & hats inside the house acting like it didn't bother him & one winter he had a real problem w/ one of the pipes in the basement after I warned him that would happen

I've compared bills while we were living there & It actually doesn't save you enough to deal with shivering/sweating. Besides, whenever the next person turns it way up it just has to compensate & compress much more freyon vs just maintain temp... The only real exception is having a smart one to manage all of that, mine does a pretty good job of automating the whole thing bc I barely ever have to look at or touch it, but it never turns completely off when we leave bc that's just silly, it will go into eco mode but I have it set to not let the temp go too low/high bc the cat is here.

Not Everything! When I was in Florida, the price of a new Truck was ridicules & a Harley to, surprised the heck out of me. I was able to buy a new Truck or a new Harley in Canada for less than in Florida!
All our used trucks go right into the states, The exchange rate makes them a steal down there.

Someone always ends up paying no matter what the services or goods are, whether an individual or a subset group or society as a whole.

Did not know this, but it would be hard to get any warranty service on US vehicles up here.

Tiny holes like nail holes or screw holes can be spackled with 'lightweight spackle", not the vinyl junk, and then sanded. Make sure there is no loose paper or indentation. Once the paper peels bad enough to loose that slick outer layer or the wall is indented it's time for mud work, IMO, but I'm pretty ocd about finishes. Pretty much the only call backs I get are to do more work for the customer, that's what I pride myself on anyway. In fact that's why I named my business "Complete Construction". So many peeps out there are doing terrible work with as little effort as possible and walk off the job. Probably 20% of my work is to finish what someone else started. I DO sweat the details.

Don't be a hater?

On a whim the other day I bought a WOTOFO Recurve RDA for testing my DIY Juice recipes. That is when the monster reared it's ugly head. I love this thing with the exception of the constant dripping required. So here is were the Haters can jump in! I need a Squonk Mod. Not just any Squonk but a single cell 1850-21700 battery(to keep the size down and I rarely vape over 50 watts) temp controlled Squonker. I have a number of DNA Chips available to me but not to many options for enclosures. I'm not against buying a factory Squonker but I am having issues with finding options. If anyone out ther has a line on any 3d print files or enclosures or mods that fit my requirements I would appreciate a hand over to the dark side.

Shouldn't be unless the brand is not also sold up there, say Buick, if they sell Buick's up there and a US titled Buick was imported it still should be covered under the warranty. If I was on vacation up there with my car and the trans let loose, I'm sure the factory wouldn't tell me I'd have to tow it back to the states to get it repaired.

All depends on the brand.

Exactly, ever see an insurance company file bankruptcy and close doors? Never, any losses from the prior year from higher then expected payouts will be recouped in premium hikes for everyone. Exactly the explanation we got with the premium increase for our auto insurance, wasn't anything we did, it was because of "unexpected higher payout costs for claims overall during the prior year".

Doesn't matter if the government is acting as the insurance company or a private business, what does matter is with "free" health care bureaucrats are making decisions that reflect directly to your health care and access to it, no thanks........
