  1. I recently listened to a podcast about ADHD/ASD and they had on so many people who were so thankful once they learned and could manage it. If I'd been able to understand the difference between my concept of time and that of the 95% neurotypical people long ago, I'd be better today. What you're planning to do is the opposite of what you hope and intend.
  2. There's no reason to cover it other than cosmetics. You're also absolutely not going to smother it with a canvas cover as discussed here, which will have plenty of air slots around it. By definition, eye hooks won't let you cover it all and will have air openings.
  3. My ownership of canvas has been whatever was cheap at HF or the military surplus store, not sure I can offer any more. I think any of those are fine.
  4. If you want fancy and tight-fitting... https://www.amazon.com/POWERTEC-20308-P2-Toggle-Holding-Capacity/dp/B09VBDC4DW/ref=asc_df_B09VBDC4DW?mcid=ac8e3ddca56a30dab16bfe877474e5d8&hvocijid=6431866699090911127-B09VBDC4DW-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6431866699090911127&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030159&hvtargid=pla-2281435179258&th=1 Hang from a few hooks across the top, then use those on the bottom to pull down/outward.
  5. Wet often? How the fuck would I know? LOL I believe that only would happen if you left a big wet piece folded up. I have actually seen that when someone left a camping mat that way after a trip. I can't see that happening in open air.
  6. Buy some canvas, fold the edges, put grommets in it, hang on the screw hooks.
  7. The dishwasher started working again when I plugged it in. Needed a reboot I guess.
  8. Many people are surprised by this, so don't overlook Amazon as a cheap/fast source. This arrived overnight for $20 when everyone else wanted $50.
  9. 150 years ago, it was just a clothing dye.
  10. You should know that there's no fucking way I'd do shit like that. Not mine. It's an EVSE running at 30a. I told the guy it's fucked and turn the car down to 24 max. Oh, and also, fire/sue the fucker who installed it.
  11. I would take the fridge part number, put that in google, along with "ice maker parts" and you'll get something. My last repair was a washer pump, and that quickly got me the part. Fuck, our dishwasher is broken. We keep forgetting to google the error message. This morning I told Moriah she should remember to do it. "After all, it's *your* appliance..."
  12. FB and Tiktok are great sources of medical info. Particularly something that is somewhat easy to OD on and has deadly or lifelong consequences. Luckily however, nearly every FB seller is significantly under-dosing it and selling mostly water.
  13. I've posted about seeing them before, and I said UL rated, not UL stamped.
  14. I'd be (ahem) shocked if he used something UL rated and not Chinesium.
  15. An allegedly licensed electrician did this. The breaker is 30a, the EVSE draws 30 (actual). Aside from all the other fuckery.
  16. If I could do the other eye tomorrow, I would run there. In fact I put myself on their standby list for last minute cancellations, otherwise it's about a month to get on the calendar. The one thing NOBODY has talked about, and I've read dozens or hundreds of user experiences, is color. Everything looks bright blue now. This is obvious in retrospect but I never thought about it. Cataracts are brown/yellow. Every time I walk into daylight, the shop, or our huge living room (has dozens of south-facing windows), I am shocked. It's just so blue and bright. My lens is for mid to distance vision. 22 hours after the surgery, when I "should" still be fuzzy, they tested me at 20/20 distance vision. He thinks when the eye fully heals I'll have 20/15 or close to it. Somehow I've healed faster than anyone he's seen before. I can see my monitor just fine, about 25-28" away. Close vision, as expected, is still not good but at least now it's just a magnification, not astigmatism requiring weird refraction. I can see a red dot sight as a dot. Not a blob, or diagonal stripe. So I'll be down $12k total, which is shitty. But also it's a life-changing improvement.
  17. I mean come on, plugging a 15a circuit into a 20a plug? Dummies!
  18. I assume not. I know nothing about it though. I know where the main valve/alarm is, and that they look like any other capsule-based sprinklers. And we get an insurance discount.
  19. I never suggested they did. I don't notice that effect from them either. But they do help me sleep. Big difference. And get a hangover.
  20. Well yeah, it contains an antihistamine.
  21. It's not a bottle, it's a box of one-time-use pads. And it's not meant for vinyl; do you have a hard plastic cover or vinyl/polyurethane? If it's a soft material then the best I could suggest is the Adam's or Chemical Guys ceramic for vinyl/tires.
