We've had GE, Whirlpool, Bosch and now LG dishwashers. The GE was too old and not good at cleaning, the Bosch had an electronic glitch and died, could never fix it. The Whirlpool died two days after we got it.

The LG has been pretty good, but at 5 years old, the racks are rusting ๐Ÿ˜ก and it's apparently a common issue with LG machines from this era.

The cost of replacement racks is ridiculous, almost the same as a whole new unit.

How are Samsung dishwashers.

#AIDSLifeCycle is less than two weeks away! I'm not riding this year, but I've been helping those who are reach their fundraising minimum. I've made a linktree with the links of those I know that need funds.

If you'd like to support the Los Angeles LGBT Center and the San Francisco AIDS foundation, click through and donate if able. Boosts are very much welcome.

I have reached the stage where slim fit dress shirts are too billowy and tailored fit dress shirts hug my spare tire and belly a little too closely. There needs to be an in between for โ€œdoes CrossFit but also enjoys IPAsโ€

@john this is why I lately just get the slim fit cuts and then have my tailor add some darts

@James I try not to do leg days before a bike ride but sometimes you just have to get through it ๐Ÿ˜…

I rarely make it to Ocean Beach (it's too cold 350 days of the year) but on the days where it's warm with blue skies, it's wonderful.

@skinnylatte I find Southern California beaches to be very cold for me (I grew up in southern Mexico). The NorCal beaches are even worse for me. You really have to have grown up in those cold waters and chilly days to enjoy them haha

@skinnylatte LOLOL no, you won't catch me in the water here.

In the 16 years I've lived in San Diego/Tijuana, I've maybe been in the ocean 4 times?

I am trying my first "real" cheese! I've made ricotta a few times, mozzarella twice, and paneer once, but now I'm trying my hand at a more aged cheese. This is my attempt at a Bel Paese, which conveniently ripens at refrigerator temperatures (4C/42F). No need for a separate cheese fridge/cave yet!

As for this attempt, the rennet didn't set the curd as well as I was hoping, and the surface remained rough after "pressing". But we'll see in 3 weeks! Pic is from right after brining.

@James ooooh I love this cheese journey you are taking us on

Iโ€™m on an energy saving kick.
So far this month between the hours of midnight and 8am we are averaging 1.2kWh per hour of use.
I can only account for a max of 400Wh/hr and even that is a high estimate.

No ac on. All computers shutdown.
The only thing running is about 200w of network gear, refrigerator and freezer. And some phone chargers.

Something is drawing power that shouldnโ€™t be ๐Ÿง

@notsle I love this. I've been doing some investigating of my own. I'm measuring the fridges, network gear, desktops (mine and husband's with all our electronics) and have an estimate of the lights, but I still have about 400W of unaccounted usage overnight

@JohnJBurnsIII @notsle Our house was built in 1950, the electrical has been decently upgraded, but most of the house has no neutral wires for example.

I have an Emporia Vue that I need to install on my main panel and start monitoring circuits.

And I was wrong, my unaccounted power is more like 100W. Overnight, it's around 0.11 kWh.

The higher usage of unaccounted power are things like the Dishwasher, Convection Oven, Coffee Maker, and other lights.

@JohnJBurnsIII @notsle the blue spike? That's the hot tub heating the water when the Super Off Peak rate starts at midnight :)

The 1 PM spike is probably the electric convection oven which I don't have on a measured circuit.

motoridersd,
@motoridersd@pug.ninja avatar

@JohnJBurnsIII @notsle yeah, and with no attic or basement/crawl space, redoing electrical would require tearing out all drywall and that's just not worth it lol

motoridersd,
@motoridersd@pug.ninja avatar

@JohnJBurnsIII @notsle It's definitely DIY, especially since I don't plan on putting the clamps on the service wires (I already have a Solar system that is measuring this).

I installed it on my office subpanel to test it, just haven't tried it on the main panel. Had to order some extra clamps.

I flashed mine with ESPHome, so it doesn't depend on the Emporia cloud

I love that I'm being sent the news that the Death Becomes Her musical is going to Broadway in the fall. Now we need a NYC trip, @socalgecko when we going?

Well, definitely wonโ€™t be renewing this SiriusXM subscription after our free trial. What is this bullshit โ€œU.S. Music Royalty Feeโ€? Like sorry you have to pay for the music you play ON YOUR SATELLITE MUSIC SERVICE???

motoridersd,
@motoridersd@pug.ninja avatar

@john wow. That's how much Sirius XM costs these days?? And it still sounds awful doesn't it? I mean, better than FM but not as good as streaming from your phone.
