I'm in western North Carolina and we're digging out of the hurricane Helene damage. Our power came back on today, but municipal water may be months out. Google's AI says I need water to run my heat, but I had thought that the water used by the heat pump is in a closed loop system.

So, is it safe for me to use my (residential) heat pump as the colder weather rolls in? Thanks.

Hi all, I have an old lennox heat-pump (maybe 16 years old), and there is some sort of board that is going bad. Don't have a name, but evidently it controls the defrost cycle when it is heating. Anyhow, it is now causing the AC to cut off. Throwing the breakers on the inside unit gets the AC back for a week or so.

Replacement of the part (only one estimate so far) will be around $780. I'd be delighted to pay that and forget about it, but the age of the system makes me think it might be time to take the hit on a new one.

I have manufacturer numbers, etc. if those are important.

Thanks.

and it was great. Great cut, really nice people.

I walked in, but they take appointments, too. No wait. A student named Blake gave me the cut, and he did a fantastic job. The are plenty of students there to accommodate customers and instructors circulating to advise and answer student questions. These are people that take their craft seriously, and it shows.

$5 for a cut (not including a tip). I'll be going back.

I am used to backpacking, but now I am looking at car camping with my wife. She wants to be able to walk into a tent, rather than crawl. So, weight won't matter - really, the bigger the better. Obviously, cheaper is also better; cold weather shouldn't be an issue - North Carolina mountains, but not for use during the winter. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. Thanks!

If you are interested, just message me and I'll make the connection.

So I wrecked my stock ender 3 hotend. But I had already bought an Ed3 all metal hotend in anticipation of an upgrade. I didn't print a mount for it, though, so now I have a dead printer and a bit of a catch-22. The only things I can find online are a $4 printed part that is out of stock and a couple $40 machined aluminum mounts that will be slow to ship.

Do I have any options? Right now I am looking at getting a knock-off micro swiss hotend for $10-20 (wish I'd gotten that in the first place) and printing the mount for the Ed3 v6 just in case.

Really wish I'd seen that the Ed3 doesn't actually mount to the ender 3 before I bought it.

Thanks.

SciFi - starts with a scientist in self-exile in a tent in the desert who is maybe hunted and runs to a 'monastery'. The monks save him (and mostly die in doing so). I think that at some point in the book, the scientist's campsite is revisited - he maybe studies the damaged ecology of the post-apocalyptic future. There may also be genetically modified villains, and weather control. Fire tornadoes? Some sort of book that the scientist wants to learn about, but most monks won't talk to him? One monk who will talk to him and tries to explain that he doesn't know much but he is willing to die for his ideals?

Hey r/flashlight,

I have broken my T10S - I was one click away from ordering a replacement but decided to check with you guys first.

The recommendation form:

Purpose - EDC

Size – Should be comfortable when clipped to inside of my front pocket.

Battery Type & Quantity – Single AA or AAA. I have a lot of rechargeables in those sizes and I like being able to find easy replacements in just about any gas station.

Price Range – under $40

Type - handheld

Lumens – 100 so on high is plenty for me, although I do like options and will appreciate decent spacing. I am considering the MicroStream, though, so I guess this is not the highest priority for me.

Switch Type - Tail preferred; twisty
