    That doesn't sound right - is it by chance the hose that fills up the bowl? If not, maybe you do have a dud. Here's a pretty decent install video I used before if you wanted to check your work: Edit: should add, if it's auto flushing, it might be your flapper valve rather than the fill.

    Thanks, hadn't seen these nucleo dev boards before. Looks like the perfect replacement since I can still use the Arduino shields. I'll pick one up and see how it does. I'm not creating any code that would ever end up in a product, but I never liked coding for Arduinos anyway.

    Raspberry Pi

    Why not? It's a cheap, plentiful, relatively versatile microcontroller/board that served the purpose I was using it for. It's not going into anything mission critical or customer facing, just test benches and proof of concept level setups.

    Anime waifu aside, this board having individual FETs on all the outputs would have saved me from getting a relay shield on a throwaway project I threw together at work. It's too bad it's sold out - I think I could have forced them to switch over to these with that justification. Also, the...

    Disappointed this poll isn't about the eternal debate between which band is better: Wings or Winger.

    If you're going to use that solder, double check the core. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but my understanding is plumbing typically uses acid core solder, while electrical wiring uses rosin core. It was a no-no to mix the two. I'm surprised if they sold a pigtail that it wouldn't...

    Don't think it's this, since it sounds more like a tapping than a scratching, but might help. I had woodpeckers come and do damage to the house. Put up all the things to scare them away (ballons that look like owl eyes, shiny tape, shiny windcatchers, etc) and they'd work for about a week then...

    If you go to a local farmer's market, you can sometimes find a beekeeper that sells bee pollen. Sameish idea - builds your tolerance to local pollen based allergens. I usually buy a bag if I come across it and it does seem to help. Hadn't heard about honey breaking things down, I'll have to...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    I think he was trying to prevent them from snapping the ball and getting a freebie practice kick since they were calling a timeout to ice the kicker. I don't know why he thought he was the right guy to do it. If LaFleur wanted someone to do that, I don't get why he wouldn't ask the guy under...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    This entire fourth quarter has been horseshit. The 'getting shoved into the kicker' and 'getting run into by the quarterback' penalties are some of the biggest bailouts I've seen. If the Seahawks pull this out in overtime, I'm almost tempted to root for the Packers to fuck over the Seahawks...

    I think that makes sense, just the way he phrased it made it sound like he wasn't already intubated or they had it removed and were putting it back in. I'm hoping that's the case at least.

    The disgusting thing I didn't realize is the Packers hold the tiebreaker over the Seahawks, so, they control their own destiny - if they win, they're in. I don't understand why the playoff picture diagrams don't show the Packers in the last spot since they're in the driver's seat - I guess they...

    I think the Packers would have played hard either way since they could have played spoiler, but I'd definitely prefer no chance whatsoever of the Packers sneaking into the playoffs by beating the Lions and getting some help. I couldn't imagine a more depressing end to the season than that...

    Russian villian is a huge upgrade over Muslim in my opinion. They don't need to provide a bunch of pointless exposition on how not all Muslims are bad yada yada...

    Your door lock actuator problem sounds more like an electrical issue to me - at least that's where I'd start at least. Does it behave any better when the engine is running? What about different inputs to the system - keyfob lock unlock/unlock vs driver door vs passenger door. I'd have to see...

    Matt Ryan is definitely not the QB I want to preserve a 30+ point lead. This second half has been absolutely pathetic for Indy. I wonder how many more times they'll attempt a screen pass on 3rd down that gets stuffed.

    They're unibody crossovers if you want to get into semantics, but the Nissan Murano and Ford Edge have a 6-cylinder. Genesis GV70 too if you spec it. Edit: saw your post about naturally aspirated, guess that would just leave the Murano of the three. I'd probably go 4-Runner, but at least you...

    I can't play around with the emulator at the moment, but I think your code is just addressing the one LED and then clearing things out with every loop. I'm thinking what you want to do is add a for loop to address each LED up to that value.
