re: Lights not working on ceiling fan

Found a generic replacement on Amazon.
If you only plan on using LED bulbs, then you could bypass this regulator and just wire the light 'hot' wire from the fan directly to the lamp hot(s). The white to the regulator is wired to the light common/neutral.

You are, of course, correct. That last sentence came out rather douchey. All downvotes well deserved.
In my defense, if a restaurant goes to the trouble of printing a wine list, especially one with several $60 plus wines, they should be able to do an adequate job of serving it too.
Next time I'll just order beer.

Bumping for another review.
Wife and I were out that way and I recommended this place based on all of the positive reviews posted in this thread (all very well deserved).
My wife - best pizza she's had in a very long time. Chianti was very good and complemented the pizza perfectly.
Me - great pizza, from crust to toppings. The garden salad was chock full of vegetables, almost a meal in itself.
Room for improvement - wine selection is good, maybe add a zin or other pizza friendly wine to the list. Also, spend a few minutes to train your servers on how to serve wine (open at table, pour a taste, etc.).
All said, we will be back.

Tagging along with this thread to whine about my issue.
System info: Asus ROG B450-F motherboard, with AMD Ryzen CPU.
I have downloaded the latest BIOS and in the BIOS menu set the boot type to "UEFI". When I check Bios mode in system information it still reads as "Legacy" and secure boot is unsupported.
99% sure this is user error, so any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
TIA

re: Gas Dryer not Getting Hot - Update in OP
Posted by Unobtanium on 4/24/26 at 9:56 am to Major Dutch Schaefer
A couple of ideas:
- I'll assume that the drum is turning, which means the drive motor is OK, which also drives the fan blade for drying air.
- Start the dryer and listen for the burner to light off (a "whoof" sound). If it doesn't light off, then it's a gas valve/solenoid or thermal cut-out issue.
- Go to Repair Clinic and look for your specific model dryer. They usually have good advice on common issues, and of course they also sell the parts to fix the problem.

re: Heat pump vs electric HVAC
Posted by Unobtanium on 3/19/26 at 9:19 am to ChewyDante
Piling on to the above...
- gas heat is the most efficient, but since you didn't list as an option it's out.
- a heat pump just transfers heat from outside to inside (where an air conditioner moves heat from indoors to outdoors). Remember that traditional air conditioners are just one-way heat pumps. Since it's not generating heat this system does less work.
- resistive strip heaters directly convert electrical energy to heat. Simple but the most inefficient.
