re: Need Advice for a sweating house slab ruining my floors
Posted by ZydecoTigah on 9/10/25 at 7:00 pm to Tmar1no
As a former master plumber I would see this pretty often, first check the ac ducts aren't blowing on the areas getting moisture, get a leak detection done on the house water lines. Unless your below grade its probably not groundwater (unless your near the M River and it only occurs during flood season) When I would break up slabs to determine issues when none was apparent there would usually be a disintegrated plastic vapor barrier (Don't know why they would do that under a slab, but they do!) or a improperly installed vapor barrier. There is some concrete sealers that help but solid wood floors are pretty much out. Laminate floors over vapor barriers are your best bet if its widespread.

If the battery is not going dead, its either a connection problem or a computer problem (it resets every time you disconnect the battery) not seeing the car is off

Put tomato plants in the ground 2/25, potatoes 2/15. Green beans ready for 2/28 and corn 3/2. Everything else is as I can get to it due to worry about freezes!!
re: a mud dauber nest on the cone of a speaker....HELP
Posted by ZydecoTigah on 2/12/25 at 6:55 pm to JoieDeVivre
I would break the outer hollow parts off (full of spiders usually) moisten just the rest carefully with a dw soap and water mixture several times till it all falls off. Maybe blast Black Sabbath through the speaker 24-7 and let it hatch to see if there are any genetic alterations to the dirt dauber? :lol:

It's easy to connect with bt on your phone & play what you want, I've seen some that will connect to more than one source so while your listening to Bach the guy next to you can feed Black Sabbath into the mix! lol
re: Hot Water Heater Issues
Posted by ZydecoTigah on 12/26/24 at 7:02 pm to TheJunction
There are several things that will have the symptoms your describing, one is the thermocouple thats been mentioned, also there were control valve issues in that era of water heaters, & a blocked vent can cause issues. If there is a lot of black soot on the burner and inside the heater the main control valve is either going out or the tank is collapsing around the vent (not common) The control valves will leak a small amount of gas and have a small "dirty" flame which soots up the burn chamber and will cause the tank to overheat and trip out the high limit and or burn the Oxygen in the burn chamber and put itself out. In other words if its not the thermocouple call your plumber!!!!
re: What's a really good outdoor digital TV antenna?
Posted by ZydecoTigah on 12/17/24 at 6:43 pm to Sayre
In this regard Size Matters! unless your close to the signal you'll need a big antenna and a tall mast to get a good signal. A rotor can turn it for you. I used this antenna[link=(Channel Master CM-3020) About 35 miles N of you and it picked up BR, Alexander, Natchez, and sometimes NO, Shreveport, Jackson MS, and Lafayette channels, I had a rotor, a antenna mounted booster, and a 40 foot tower. Otherwise find it on your pc or phone, if you have a signal lol
re: Real Debrid Alternative?
Posted by ZydecoTigah on 12/5/24 at 12:51 pm to bird35
It seems most of the alternatives have been overloaded since the announcement. Meanwhile I have been using it with Stremio and not noticed any lack of links with Torrento or Orion with RD. I believe it's mostly European sites that they were sued about that have been affected.
re: Does LTE work better than 5G?
Posted by ZydecoTigah on 11/26/24 at 6:58 pm to pwejr88
The newer 5G+ is pretty quick, I've hit 700 mb on my phone, but its spotty, and out where there are fewer towers lte may work better because of 5G bandwidth being used by newer phones.

Check your router & network to make sure no one is piggy backing into your system, may have to change the password.

There is a full-grown avocado tree in between 2 houses in Spanish Town in Baton Rouge that sets fruit every year! I think protecting it from the elements will keeps it growing!

re: AI chatbots vs. Google search timetable

Bing search already incorporates AI and does give you relative info depending on the search inquiry. You search how to make "mac n cheese" and it will garner results on how to do it, but, there will be Google-type results mixed in.
