Going to a wedding in Split, Croatia later this year for a family friend. Will be there for a week or so, but since we are already so far from home, we want to make another Euro stop. Thinking France countryside or bouncing around Germany.

How do you go about booking flights? Getting to Split will probably be 3 flights (starting from NOLA) with the connection locations not mattering. But if we want French countryside, we would have to get to Geneva and drive. But will
I need to make sure we get back to the same major hub we arrived to Europe in? Or how can I get another major hub to leave Europe from? Is it a bunch of one way flights and not book anything as round trip? Just looking for advice.

Work loves to give away gift cards. $25 here, $50 there. I have a stack of them. Most are Visa brand gift cards, some are AMEX. Most gas stations and restaurants won’t take them unless they have more money on them than the total of the transaction. This leads to a bunch of small dollar cards.

Is there a way to consolidate them into one gift card? Or maybe add them to a “wallet”? Maybe I create an Amazon gift card and apply all of them to that total?

My parents church wanted an update so they looked up the costs to have the pews re-upholstered. It was actually cheaper for them to buy brand new pews for the whole church instead of the labor to recondition the old ones. The old fabric was stapled AND glued down, and the finish needed a nuclear bomb to help remove it.

They ended up selling the old pews to anyone who wanted one. It was a nostalgia thing. Problem is who could fit a 30’ long bench in their house.

ETA: this was BRLA.

I think they should extend the race by 3-5 laps. Moving a stopped car (unless wrecked) is usually handled through a safety car, so why make a change to what works just because we are deeper into a race. The only thing they would have to do is suspend the minimum fuel requirements as teams would dip below that mark.

Not sure what you are referring too by the term “break” - you referring to the control board in the air handler and/or thermostat?

The break where I cut the wires in the attic. I had to run new wire from the thermostat to this point.

Great videos. I will definitely follow their instructions.

I made a mistake. I was trying to reroute a coaxial line in the attack and inadvertently cut the thermostat wire to the unit on that side of the house. I didn’t have enough wire to just splice the two ends back together, so I had to run new line from the thermostat to the break. Once I reconnected the 5 wires at the break and to the thermostat, I expected the unit to power on like normal. Nada. I took the batteries out of the thermostat for a bit thinking it needed to reboot and nothing. The thermostat looks like normal and will even click from time to time, like it is about to turn the unit on but ultimately nothing happens. I checked the fuse in the blower housing and it appears to be good (not discolored like a car fuse when it blows.) I flipped the breaker off and on in an attempt as well.

Any suggestions on what else I can try?

UPDATE: it was the fuse. I checked for resistance on the old fuse and it came back dead. A trip to the auto parts store, about $5 later, and we are up and running. Thanks everyone for their help and suggestions. Y’all are amazing.

The vanlife thread got me thinking. If in fact the boyfriend committed some crime, he lawyered up, and then told that lawyer everything truthfully, does the lawyer bend the facts to make the client look innocent or does the lawyer have a legal responsibility to speak the truth? Does he defend the client at all cost? I can’t imagine criminals are that smart to come up with an airtight story of innocence and then stick to said story for the rest of their lives. OJ Simpson comes to mind- his lawyers must have known the truth, but still defended his innocence.

Can someone explain, in basic terms, what a lawyer is supposed to do in these situations?

For this exercise, I only need labels. We have warehouse logistics software with RF scan guns. Everything we do, sans lots, is barcoded. This software is to fill that void. It will create lot numbers and print corresponding label with barcode. The lots are simply an input into the greater system.

Thermal labels can be wicked fast. Much faster than inkjet label printers. We use a variety of Zebra brand printers, which is a pretty common manufacturer. Sounds like they might be in the Python libraries.

The wife, no pics, found a wrought iron coffee table that she wants to use for our outdoor seating area. It doesn’t have a top, so she want to get a remnant piece of granite. The rectangular tabletop support is currently 21”x51” OD made up of 2” wide, 1/4” thick strips on the 4 sides. Will I need to add extra support for the granite or will it be able to support the top as is? We are thinking a 3cm slab. Thanks

We have floodlights on the back of our house that only light up about half the yard. I have a shed in the back corner, with power, that I would like to install a floodlight kit onto. I would like for the the lights on the house and the lights on the shed to come on at the same time with one switch. I see RF controlled switches out there, but that means pressing a button or another switch to get both sets of lights to come on. Is there a way to have wired lights and RF controlled lights to work in tandem on one switch?
