Hue bulbs are a lot cheaper and more modular than changing your wiring. I own my apartment and I use them, with the plan of having the wiring changed once I figure out which lighting I want where. Right now I can adapt them on the fly, I imagine changing your wiring sets some stuff in stone, or at least requires finding some nice people who want to do the job along with a concrete plan. A lot of times I’ve thought ‘wouldn’t it be nice if…’ and tapping a few buttons just let me see what’s up. Nothing wrong with that if you’ve just been living somewhere for a year or 2 or so imo. Mainly I want to get one or two rooms renovated, and so it doesn’t really make much sense to screw with wiring before that’s all planned out and underway. And that’s a 3 year plan, so… I suppose it changes things if you can do electrical work yourself (I don’t want to). I will eventually have smart switches instead of smart bulbs though. Just seems better.

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:Ignoring fixtures, replacing a switch with a Lutron Caseta is dead simple, and in no way locks you into anything other than wanting all your switches on the same system. I don’t have hue fixtures or anything, so I’ll look into this. Not too much to replace so maybe I’ll get a handy friend to show me the ropes here, thanks.

Academician Nomad posted:Fine but I maintain that you don't see this trend for other major appliances / home purchases, Absolutely not true, ovens can go up to the 3-5k range if you want steam/top of the line features/A Bigger Oven, bathrooms are a whole other monster (spartan or all the fixings including towel warmer?), toilets can go from standard to 1-2k japanese luxury models that 3d image your rear end in a top hat to find the optimal bidet spray arc, you can spend so much drat money on every type of home purchase or appliance that I'm surprised the gas stoves are this big a deal to you. Just now I remembered those insta-boil/carbonating Quooker taps too. Hell even furniture itself can easily go up to multiple thousands per single object for the good stuff. No clue where you got the idea that people selling appliances and other homeowner things aren't willing to gobble up all your cash A 10k oven is a lot but if you really want a double oven with steam function you'll probably have to go with something like a Thermador which is at least 5k. For just that. Personally I use a regular oven with a separate sous videing setup which is far cheaper, but if I had infinite money... an iksar marauder fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jun 29, 2022 |

Did you leave it running for 4 hours or longer? Go see your local mechanic.

my TV is a bit high but it's just right if you slouch a little bit. No regrets, but maybe a sliding mount would have been a good idea.

Yeah I like choosing what to fix and more importantly how to fix it, as a renter you'd just get stopgaps or no fix at all. It'd end up worse in the long term but landlords were rarely interested in preventing that

I’m probably switching to a neato roborock when they get a self emptying bin. My stick vac owns, but can’t beat twice a day remotely robo vacuuming while away when you have pets. I’m not worried about my roomba spying on me, though. I’ve got a phone in my pocket which is way better at that.

If you hop out of the pool and jump on the slope still soaking wet it's like a slip n slide with the added adventure of the risk of rugburn at the bottom if you weren't wet enough this post kinda looks like astroturfing

Shifty Pony posted:I think a lot of the "no soap on cast iron" stuff comes from old soap formulations which had significant amounts of lye still present. The surfactants in something like Dawn won't do anything to seasoned cast iron even if you soak it, but lye will actively eat away the coating in a matter of seconds via alkaline hydrolysis. A lot of it probably comes from hobby home cooks who use theirs once a month and own a kiss the chef apron
