- I had a Snoopy doll as a kid that my parents used to help teach me to tie my shoes. I do not use a granny knot. But depending on the laces - sycor Jan 30, 08:50 1
  - Well yeah, if Snoopy drags his feet enough. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 08:53
- Most people use a granny knot. I did when I was a kid and I notice it on the majority of sneakers and boots I look at. And I look at a lot - Krusty Jan 30, 08:44
- I need to research how to fold a fitted sheet. I suck at that -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 08:44 5
  - There is no trick. Fitted sheets are just evil. -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 09:26
  - You don’t fold a fitted sheet. You fold time and space *around* the fitted sheet. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 09:19
  - I have a couple sets of sheets. I'll be honest, I just stuff the dirty ones in a pillow case and let them sit. Then wash those and put then straight - sycor Jan 30, 08:48
  - There are 3 easy steps - decline Jan 30, 08:48

I was looking at a new house this weekend that my dad was going to help me buy. Something with enough bedrooms (and one downstairs) - sycor Jan 30, 08:05 31
- I'm worried about the indoor air pollution aspect of gas. But we do have gas appliances (stove, fireplace, hot water) - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:25 12
  - I love a gas stove. I want one back so badly. -- nm - sycor Jan 30, 08:50 11
    - I have it, and ... there are pros and cons. Pro: does its job. Con: kid almost blew the house up. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:52 1
      - Definitely a concern. I'd like to think my GF and I wouldn't do that. But teaching her kids to cook would definitely require additional - sycor Jan 30, 08:55
    - question: would an induction cooktop achieve the same result? -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Jan 30, 08:52 7
      - Never used one so I'm not sure. I just like the additional control you have over the heat with gas. - sycor Jan 30, 08:54 1
        
        let decline sell you. I know nothing. (this is why I asked.) -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Jan 30, 08:56
      - I would switch to induction in a minute -- nm - decline Jan 30, 08:53
      - This is what I'd go to next, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:52 3
        
        all of my friends have induction burners. I don't cook enough to have one. (OR AN OVEN.) -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Jan 30, 08:55 2
        
        I've been considering getting an induction hot plate to try it out -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 09:10 1

    - FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! -- nm - Beavis Jan 30, 08:51
- Maybe things are better now but electric heat is too expensive in my experience -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 08:16 4
  - I have mini splits, installed in late 2019. in 2019 I spent $1222 on propane and oil combined. In 2020/2021, I spent an average of $350 on propane. - judge indianapolis jones Jan 30, 08:31 1
    - 👍👍 -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 08:37
  - It has definitely changed with heat pumps -- nm - oblique Jan 30, 08:24
  - I haven't had electric heat in I don't know how long so I have no idea on cost. -- nm - sycor Jan 30, 08:21
- Our 1st house didn't have a fireplace and we looked into options on getting one installed and it was expensive. We didn't do it. And "all" electric? - zunk takes things literally Jan 30, 08:12 4
  - I'm in NC. Like today is going to be around 60. Yes it gets cold here, but not like up north cold. -- nm - sycor Jan 30, 08:15
  - About half of homes have electric heat... Hmm, 47% of new homes. Over time 37%. -- nm* - Spawn Jan 30, 08:13 2
    - I would have never guessed it was that high. But I'm sure I have geographic bias! -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jan 30, 08:25 1
      - I expected higher (obviously) as they are cleaner an easier to install/run. Having said that, both homes I have owned are gas. -- nm* - Spawn Jan 30, 08:28
- Heat. Pump. -- nm - Beaker Jan 30, 08:10 1
  - It's new construction so I do think it's a heat pump. -- nm - sycor Jan 30, 08:21
- While I also prefer gas heating and certainly a fireplace, we are probably moving most everything to electric at some point but that's more because - oblique Jan 30, 08:10 2
  - That's a good point. I think it goes back to when Hugo wrecked NC and we didn't have power for 6 days. We had no hot water, but I swear my friend - sycor Jan 30, 08:18 1
    - Our hot water heater is gas and works when the electric goes out but you do have to watch the pilot light and make sure that doesn't go out. -- nm - spamlet Jan 30, 08:30
- this is getting more and more common. note that I have a propane fireplace and it doesn't run when power is out (I think it requires power to light). -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Jan 30, 08:07 2
  - Yeah that can be a problem depending on the fireplace. I know in my old place as long as the pilot light was lit, you could get the fireplace going. - sycor Jan 30, 08:16 1
    - Mine has a thermocouple to prevent leaks; I can't recall if it works during power outages. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:39

- Without reading the tweet, I assume it's the result of enshittification. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:18 1
  - Here's the essay about it -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 30, 08:35

LIR oblique I have some Kasa bulbs downstairs that are giving me trouble. Mostly just dropping offline. - sycor Jan 30, 08:02 4
- Ours were in the ceiling dome as well. Honestly, I didn't have problems with them until I moved to Home Assistant so I think it is more their local - oblique Jan 30, 08:08 3
  - Are you using a Sengled hub or Conbee stick for your zigbee? -- nm - sycor Jan 30, 08:23 1
    - I bought one of the Sonoff Zigbee USB dongles. I also ordered one of the SkyConnect dongles for future upgrading to Matter. The dongle works great - oblique Jan 30, 08:26
  - Cool I'll look in to the bulbs. And smart move on the SSD. I made a big difference for me what I did it. - sycor Jan 30, 08:20
