Rinnai tankless water heater code 11
2022 Bambi Hot Water
2023.06.01 03:12 Willy-Dee 2022 Bambi Hot Water
I have a 2022 Bambi that was winterized when I bought it from the original owner. I have drained all the antifreeze and flushed the lines. I now have a full tank of fresh water and connected to shore power, with unit power for the Girard tankless water heater on. The display in the lavatory comes on, I can set the temperature, but there is no hot water and no error code, but going outside the unit does not appear to be on (no heat or indication of power). I think I must be missing a bypass valve, lighting a pilot or something? Any suggestions?

2023.06.01 01:08 Mjones405 What kind of water heater did you install in your treehouse?
I’d prefer a tankless electric water heater, but a plumber I was bidding with advised against it and said it wouldn’t work well warming up the water in the winter. Any thoughts on this? Should I just go with a standard electric 20 gallon low boy instead?

2023.06.01 01:05 Mjones405 [Landlord-US AR] Need advice: Will a tankless electric water heater work in the winter? Or should I go with a standard electric low boy. This is for a new construction treehouse. It gets cold here in the winter.

2023.06.01 00:42 girl_from_the_crypt Stuck on earth and looking for a job: Olms and Jewels
Coming face to face with people in suits always makes me hyper-aware of how badly I dress. Since I knew I was going to meet up with Mary Markov today, I intentionally put some more effort into my appearance. I picked out a pressed shirt to wear over my leggings. Since it was far too big for me, I threw my wide yellow belt into the mix. Thus satisfied, I called up Elijah Carter and asked whether he wanted to come along. He agreed readily enough so I had him pick me up and drive us over to Mary's office. It was nowhere near the hospital and not in the vicinity of her news channel headquarters either. It was located in a slate gray concrete building that was quite confusing to look at.
No outside observer could have mistaken it for a residential house, for there was hardly a less homely or comfortable place imaginable. It was utterly repellent in its rough, dreary nature. It couldn't have belonged to some kind of business either, though. There were no marked parking spaces for employees, no signs or advertisements. Altogether, it reminded me of something out of a cheap or unfinished video game.
"Sketchy," Eli remarked, eyeing the slab of concrete with a similar lack of enthusiasm. "Looks almost abandoned. How weirdly fitting for a semi-secret government operation."
I nodded. The warm air had taken me by surprise and I found the weight of my jacket suffocating, so I took it off to leave in the car. "What is it?" I asked, noticing the way Elijah squinted at my outfit.
"What
are you wearing?"
"Clothes."
"You don't say." He snorted. "Looking kinda funny there, Shirley."
"I look
professional," I corrected him.
"I suppose." He grinned to himself. "Depends on the profession, though."
We rang the bell and a highly official-looking security guard let us in through the heavy double doors after confirming that Mary Markov was expecting us. He gave the necessary directions, sending us down several flights of stairs. The better part of the building was in fact underground, like with an iceberg. Eli made a remark about how it'd be safer if outsiders weren’t allowed to roam the place by themselves. It seems to be a habit of his to vaguely analyze and point out flaws in the structures of government institutions. Then again, maybe it's just flaws in general he's fascinated with.
Upon arriving outside Mary's office, we were called inside to find her sitting behind her desk. She lifted her head, giving us a polite, if cold, smile. "Good morning. You're on time. Wonderful."
"Would you please give me an honest appraisal of my outfit?" I asked.
The newsreader frowned in confusion, her eyes briefly roaming my form. "You put effort into your appearance today," she concluded. "It's appreciated."
"Wait, what do you mean
today?" I inquired.
"Note also how she did not actually answer your question," Elijah added.
I huffed, flinging myself into one of the chairs in front of Mary's desk. Eli sat down beside me, folding his hands in his lap and leaning back. "Thanks for letting me come with Shirley," he told her.
"Naturally. I assume you're her emotional support human." Mary Markov's lips curled slightly. "At any rate, you had contact with the Collective yourself, so this does concern you. As far as I'm concerned, it can't hurt having an ex-cop in the mix, anyways. Despite the regrettable reasons you had for leaving the force."
Elijah's brows lowered, the muscle in his pronounced jaw twitching. "How do you know about that?"
Mary looked innocent. "It's very important that I'm fully informed, of course. Don't worry. We don't need to go into it, and I don't judge you, either. The effect the incident at that highschool had on you is completely understandable."
"I didn't ask for your assessment." My friend's voice had sharpened. "Can we move on from this?"
"Of course." If the sudden shift in tone had rattled the agent, she wasn't letting it on. Sifting through the neat stack of papers on her desk, she pulled out a thin brown file which she slid over to me. "Miss Shirley, you remember the female member of the Collective we took into custody? She has already been questioned by the local police. Unfortunately, I don't have the authority to lead such an interrogation, but I
was present for it and I want you to have this transcript."
I perked up and began leafing through the folder.
"You may take that with you to read in peace," Mary told me. "But don't expect too much, lest you'll be sorely disappointed. The girl hardly said anything at all. The most helpful information she gave us was a name she kept referencing.
Jewel. At first, we thought it was a sort of code word, but it seems to be what the other person she was with calls themself."
“Jewel,” I echoed.
“Sadly enough, that’s all we have. We’ve never provided our services to anyone of their physical description. There are a couple clues, but they don’t amount to anything helpful. There’s the fact that you met them at a convenience store with relatively high prices. Maybe I’m just grasping at straws, but that
could indicate a cushy financial situation. On top of that, the store is rather far away from here, so they might be an out-of-towner. They also might be able to influence the way others perceive them, considering the way they seemed to hypnotize you in the woods merely by holding eye contact.”
“How come they couldn’t do anything to Frank Preston?”
Mary Markov twinkled at me. “They couldn’t? Huh. That rather intrigues the philosopher in me. Jewel works through eye contact and it
is said that the eyes are the window to the soul.” She cocked her head at me.
“Are you saying Blondie doesn’t have a soul?” Eli asked, raising a skeptical brow. “Is this one of those Plato-Schopenhauer-whatevers?”
The newsreader shrugged artfully, watching my reaction. “We could discuss this for hours on end. I only meant to draw attention to the implied distinction between an organically born entity and a being who was originally an inanimate object.”
“I beg your pardon?” I said slowly.
“Oh, nevermind; that’s neither here nor there.” Her tone told me that she did, in fact, consider it to be both here
and there. Not wanting to go further into this with her, I made a mental note to ask Frankie later.
“There’s more,” I added, trying to gently prepare her for what I was about to say. “I want to get Kit Sutton back.”
Mary’s lips thinned. “Excuse me?”
“I don’t mean for the town to get flooded in the process. I think we can find a solution to help her, if we work together. I’m convinced we can figure something out, but I don’t believe in abandoning her anymore. Which is essentially what we’re doing if we leave her to her fate.”
“You do realize what you’re asking of me? Your former roommate isn’t some kind of minor water spirit. Her father appears to hold tremendous power over the seas, or at the very least our part of it. He has countless similarly dangerous individuals at his service so he might be considered a ruler of sorts, if not a deity.”
“So Kit’s the little mermaid, basically?” Elijah asked, equal parts joking and genuinely intrigued.
Mary grinned an actual, amused grin. “I must ask you to take this seriously, Mr Carter.”
“I am!” he chuckled, raising his hands. “I swear.”
“Anyways, Miss Shirley, the point you make is an individualistic one, but I see why you’re invested in the girl’s fate. I want to help, I do… But we need to proceed with caution. If you can suggest to me some kind of sensible approach, then I’ll do what I can. That’s all the promises I can make at the moment.”
I thanked her and got up, Eli following me as I headed for the door. “Miss Shirley,” Mary called out and I stopped, turning back around to face her. “If you like my style, we could perhaps meet up to go shopping sometime? I could show you some quality stores. It wouldn’t be anytime soon since I’m currently swamped, but I figure—well, just in case you might like to.”
I nodded. “That sounds pleasant enough.”
She smiled brightly and waved us out the door. “Excellent. I’ll be in touch.”
Back inside the car, I tossed the file onto the backseat to read later. “Would you like to go to the beach?” I suggested.
“Why not. Wait, is this for a stroll and ice cream or do you want to kickstart the mermaid-rescue-operation?”
“I can’t see why it shouldn’t be both,” I replied comfortably. “We’ll need to take your flashlight, though.”
"You know I don't like getting myself into trouble unless it's paid."
"Yes, but you also find me endearing and want to protect me from danger, which you can only do by accompanying me."
"You're a terrifying tentacle beast from another dimension. I don't know that I'm all that scared for your safety," he grunted.
I gave him an affronted look. "You have now hurt my feelings."
"Have I?"
"Plenty, but I'll forgive you if you come with me."
Elijah Carter sighed deeply but started driving anyway. I let my arm dangle out of the open window, allowing the warming spring air to wash over my skin. The closer we got to the shore, the stronger the scent of salt mixed into the breeze. The cries of seagulls became audible over the sounds of the road and the streaming wind and was finally joined by the crashing of waves when we pulled into a parking spot and got out of the car. Taking along the heavy duty flashlight he always kept in the passenger seat footwell, I led Eli to the mouth of the cave, explaining what Nettie and I had seen along the way. He looked commendably calm, simply turning on the torch and entering alongside me.
The tunnels were just as damp, dim and quiet as the last time. Before long, we had reached the spacious canyon room with the lake at the bottom. "I want to go across and see if there's anything important in the rest of the grotto back there," I reminded him. "
Please hold on to your bearings."
"I'm not repeating your mistakes," he replied gamely. "What do you think? This oughta be connected to the ocean somehow." He let the beam of the torch roam the mirror-like surface of the lake. It seemed almost deceptively quiet. My eyes followed the lengthy stone ledge. Eli stepped close, and after receiving a nod of approval, he grabbed me around the waist and hoisted me onto the rocky protrusion. I straightened up, instantly pressing my back against the wall. A wave of nausea hit me as I glanced at the water below. "Chill," Elijah muttered, climbing after me with ease. "Nothing will happen. You're not gonna fall."
I merely shook my head. "You didn't see what's down there."
"And I won't, because we'll be careful," he answered steadfastly.
I started walking, the warm light of the torch upon my back, illuminating the path ahead. The shelf narrowed as we reached the end. I swiftly clambered down, relieved to place my feet on wider, solid ground once more. Now looking over the lake from the other side, it had an entirely different feel to it. It seemed darker somehow, but also less big—I attributed it to the change in perspective. We were standing in a cramped little nook with two passageways leading off into separate directions behind us. Elijah Carter eyed them pensively. “Which do you reckon?”
I pursed my lips. “The right one. Because it’s right.”
“Makes sense.”
We proceeded into the passage, the tight space pushing us closer together. He had to duck his head, uncomfortably hunching his shoulders, and for once, I was grateful for my own short stature. The corridor seemed to go on forever. The darkness and silence created a feel of unnatural solitude, and for more than once, I got the distinct impression that I must have jumped dimensions again. It was as though Elijah and I were enclosed in some kind of bubble, cut off from everything outside; a place where time was a foreign concept and the only sun was our flashlight. Needless to say, I was distinctly uneasy. I allowed myself to lean back, brushing against Eli’s chest whenever I could. Eventually, I cleared my throat.
“Could you touch me?”
“What?”
“Just so I still know you’re there.”
His palm came to rest on my shoulder, his thumb digging into one of the tense, painfully rigid muscles of my upper back, forcing it to soften. “Good?”
“Yes, thank you.”
He hummed. “You’re scared.”
“Yes.”
“Me, too.”
This caused my resolve to falter. “Maybe we should turn around after all,” I said quietly. “Who knows how much longer—”
“Look.”
I perked up. Before us, the tunnel grew wider, opening into a large, spacious room. We picked up our pace, tackling the remaining distance in a light jog, and finally found ourselves standing in another hall. The beam of light traveled the floor and high walls, revealing a sight that took our breath away. We were standing in front of another lake, only slightly smaller than the last. The water glittered in violet hues and strange, pale plants climbed up the walls, some of them looking rather like starfish. Multiple rocky protrusions formed an almost complete bridge across its middle. With a bit of light climbing, we'd undoubtedly be able to get to the other side. Wordlessly, Elijah Carter swung himself up onto the platform closest to the edge of the water, pulling me up after him. The flashlight switched hands a couple times as we maneuvered ourselves along.
Soon, we reached the middle of the lake. I risked a glance at the water below. All was still and perfectly quiet. Eli was about to take on the next rock when suddenly, I felt something heavy and gooey drip onto my head from above. I flinched, then slowly pointed the torch up to the ceiling. My stomach dropped. My throat had turned paper-dry, and I frantically tugged on Eli’s arm. He tipped his head back, following my pointing finger. His eyes blew wide and his face fell.
There was a creature clinging to the high walls, its pale, enormous body describing a streamline curve as it pressed itself against the hollowed stone. The closest thing I can compare it to would be a sort of olm, except probably a hundred times larger. Its snout looked large enough to swallow either of us whole. It hung open, secreting a thick fluid that slowly dripped down to hit the rocks or create ripples upon the water. Its blind eyes seemed to be trained on us, and I could spot tiny, sharp teeth lining its maw. It wasn’t moving, not even an inch, but somehow, I knew it was aware of us.
I looked up at Elijah, the panic in his eyes mirroring mine. Both of us had freezed up mid-motion, not daring to take another step. My mind was running wild; I was thinking feverishly. We’d have to turn around for sure, but how? The olm was already highly alert, if we were to start scrambling back to solid ground, it would undoubtedly hear us straight away. Eli looked equal parts terrified and furious, and I could tell he was scolding himself for not thinking to check the entirety of the room before proceeding across the lake. I could understand the sentiment, we’d definitely made a grave mistake. I figured it had been the misleading beauty of the cave hall that had taken our edge off. Glancing over into the direction we’d come from, I found myself wishing to be back in the endless dark corridor. The entrance to the passage seemed miles away.
The olm lifted a three-toed foot, shifting its massive form to a lower spot on the wall. It was taking a tentative step towards us, extending its snout as its body bent into our direction. Elijah had grabbed onto my arm, his fingers clamping around it like a vice. He stayed silent and unmoving, but he held my gaze with clear, sharp eyes.
“Don’t move,” I mouthed, and he gave me a curt nod.
Slowly, I reached around to push my shirt out of the way of my unfurling tentacles. Elijah took a quiet step back to make room for my changing form, something of a resolute expression settling on his face. I opened my mouth, relieved when my teeth acted according to my will and elongated. I didn’t know to what extent I would be able to defend against this absolute giant of an amphibian, but at least it would give us a chance. I took a deep breath, trading glances with Eli once more before darting off to the side, bounding onto the platform next to our current one. Elijah followed suit, grabbing onto one of the limbs I extended to him for support. Despite the swiftness of our movements, we were anything but quiet, and the olm reacted in an instant. It slithered down from the wall, sinking into the lake below to make its way to the rocks we were standing on. As we headed for the next stone, it darted out of the water, splashing wildly as its snout breached the surface. Its jaws snapped at us, missing me by a mere foot as I jumped across the gap between the protrusions. Droplets flew as the creature dropped once more, but instead of retreating, it swam around the platform. Its massive, snake-like body was bobbing up and down as it circled us.
“Oh fuck,” Elijah breathed, his chest heaving. “Keep going! Move, move!”
I took a short running start, then flung myself onto the next rock, using my extra limbs to land safely. I then helped him cross again. The olm rose from the depths of the lake once again, and I lashed at it with one of my tentacles, hitting it on the snout and forcing it to dive underwater again. We kept working our way back towards the other side of the lake, slipping and sliding as we went. The water surrounding us seemed to hum with unrestrained energy, the white salamander’s tail whipping up waves and splashing around. We were finally getting close to solid ground again, or at least it looked like we were for a moment. That’s when the creature took a massive leap, draping itself over the final stepping stone, effectively blocking our path.
“Shit,” Eli hissed beside me as we came to a skittering halt.
I’d have to try and fight this thing. There was no way around it now. I clenched my sweat-laced palms into fist, trying to slow my rapid, shallow breaths.
I can do this, I said to myself. All I’d have to do is send it back into the lake for long enough so we could run back into the tunnel. There was no way the olm would fit through the passage—once we were in there, we’d be relatively safe. I stared at the dripping, writhing animal; stared at its bared needle teeth, and the less hopeful, more realistic part of my brain told me that I would, indeed, probably not be able to do this. Just as I was contemplating the degree of our screwed-ness, an unseen someone called out from behind us. I didn’t understand a word they were saying, but I recognized the language, and more importantly, the voice.
It was bright as a bell, girlish but with a rough, warm edge. Even before I could turn to face her, I knew who it was.
The gigantic amphibian perked up at the sound, lowering its head and withdrawing into the murky depths with a splash. Elijah Carter let go of a long-held breath, dropping his shoulders before tensing up again, realization setting in. He shot me a look of utter disbelief.
“Wow,” the newcomer spoke up again, this time not in the tongue of the deep ones. “You two have to be actually crazy or something to show up here.”

2023.06.01 00:04 desert_jungle Electric tankless water heater replacement cost
Hello! We have a EcoSmart electric tankless water heater that broke last night. It was corroded and a part of it blew. Water everywhere. It was a fun time. We ordered a new one to replace it - I am wondering if someone could give me an idea of what the plumber will charge to replace it? I have a couple consultation appointments in the next couple of days but I have no idea what would be a good/bad price, and we won’t have water until this is fixed so if the price is good I’d rather just get it done. Any info would be super helpful!

2023.05.31 23:24 Ok-Supermarket4492 Seattle City Council Newsletter
Hi everyone! My name is Sharon, and I am a college student interested in civic engagement and politics. I have been working on a project with some other students to make the Seattle City Council meetings more accessible by putting them into short summaries. My friend Rachel has posted previously about it, and I am continuing this group project. I have put an example from last week below, though the real thing has a bit more formatting that doesn't translate into Reddit.
This project is relatively new, so we would really appreciate any feedback you may have and hope to make it as informative and accessible as possible! If you're interested in getting these newsletters every week, please click here:

2023.05.31 22:28 Beginning-Werewolf79 Upgrading Water Heaters in My Apartment Building
Hey Reddit! I'm the owner and manager of a 5-unit apartment building located in the Bay Area. Currently, each unit has its own gas water heater, and as the ownemanager, I cover the expenses for water and the maintenance/replacement of the water heaters. The tenants are responsible for paying for gas usage.
I'm contemplating two options for upgrading the water heating system and would appreciate your insights:
Option 1: Purchase 5 outdoor gas tankless units, connecting each one to the respective apartment meter. I'm considering the Rheem Performance Plus 8.4 GPM Natural Gas Outdoor Tankless Water Heater.
Option 2: Invest in two or three higher-end, more efficient tankless gas water heaters connected in series, utilizing the owner's gas supply. The cost would be divided equally among the tenants through billing.
Now, here are my questions for you:
A) Which option do you recommend and why? I'm seeking advice on the most suitable approach based on factors such as efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. Your valuable insights will help me make an informed decision.
B) What brand, sizing, and series of outdoor natural gas water heater would you suggest for this application? Please share your recommendations for specific water heater models that would be well-suited for an apartment building of this size and in the Bay Area.
Thank you in advance!

2023.05.31 22:02 younglegends111 walts bloody bill (spoiler)
In season 2 Over Walt is counting his cash to pay for the tankless water heater he wants. The money has blood on it. I always wondered if the show gave us a reason why. It's probably from the junkyard scene with Tuco? Could be from Spooge's death. Plus is it foreshadowing for the quote "jesse's blood money" in season 5? Thanks for reading my questions. Keep the rewatching!

2023.05.31 20:55 Gravy_On_Toast Advice on gas tankless water heaters
Hello
Plumbing My husband and I just had a rip open a wall to repair a leak behind our washing machine and decided it was the perfect time to remodel our laundry room. A large amount of floor space in our laundry room is taken up by the old water heater tank. it sits against an exterior wall and is already plumbed for gas.
We would love to get an outdoor tankless to go directly on the other side of the exterior wall. Any suggestions or advice? Our house has 2.5 bathrooms.

2023.05.31 19:42 DivineIdylle An ex-employee is coming forward about her experience at Once Upon a Time in France. The hidden side of Melvil Arnt and his 'empire'. Sharing for a friend. I AM NOT OP.
brace yourself, this is a long story but please bare with me. i am putting myself in a very vulnerable position but i need to speak my truth.
—> I don’t think i will ever be able to let go of the fact that I felt so uncomfortable at a job and looked down upon that I had to leave. I was the one facing sexual harassment, and continued to be mocked, called a liar, and even asked to record a tape saying that I made it up so he would have something against me. I’ve waited almost a year to come out about this because i was terrified of consequences- but i don’t care anymore and the truth needs to be spoken. Melvil Arnt, 33, owner of once upon a time in france restaurant in east nashville is a manipulative human being who takes advantage of his employees. I worked at this establishment for 11 months to support myself while attending university. Not only did he violate my personal business and my body, he violated several health code laws. I was terminated in January of 2022 because I spoke about a disgusting instance that went on in the kitchen. previous chef dropped a steak on the floor, rinsed it, re-sauced it, served it, and this piece of meat was consumed by a customer. I took it upon myself to inform the manager (mel’s girlfriend) as any reasonable employee should when witnessing something like this. the next morning I lost my job for “speaking on his kitchen”. the chef kept his job and just received a lecture for it. I have proof of all of these messages as well, where he didn’t deny it, rather found ways to blame me for “gossiping”. messages of this are attached with translations. This is only the start. I got my job back 3 months later after being lectured and blamed for what had happened. other ex servers and i are all witnesses to the following incidents. let me start with an incident i still can’t believe is real. prior to service, i was sweeping the floor, when i came across a long black snake sliding towards my the snake made its way into the side wall when Laurent, chef and co-owner, tapes the seal and that was that. instead of calling a pest control company to prevent it from happening again. I only discovered that roadkill deer was once used in our coq au vin (**EDIT, it was the beef bourguignon not the coq au vin *) nafter serving it for 2 weeks to guests. it’s unbelievable and other servers became aware of this information after as well. sous chef confirmed it. blood from meat leaking all over the fridge where cheeses and water bottles are kept and used during service. black mold in the ice well at the bar. meat not being stored at correct temperature, left to sit in back trailer (where stock is kept) that’s over 120 degrees. maggot infestation stemmed in trailer from this rotted leaking blood (video recording of this attached as well). The list goes on of how disgusting and unkept this place is. —>The night I was sexually harassed by Mel is a night I will never forget. \I also have message proof of Mel asking me not to say anything that happened from the night before. When he found out that I told his girlfriend (manager of the restaurant) he threatened to fire me, my roommate, and my boyfriend at the time. He also requested that we speak in private- not over the phone or text message which says enough about his attempts to blackmail us with each of our jobs. The precaution prior to any sort of conversation was telling of his angst towards this and afraid to lose the “empire” he built. We never ended up having this conversation. He had already spoken to my roommate and my ex partner to threaten all 3 of our jobs if I had dared to speak up. He went as far as asking my ex partner if I would lie on tape so he would have something against me, and the reasonable thing for me to do was to comply. he also forced everyone to leave their phones inside when speaking to them. —>why not speak up sooner? I was a 19 year old girl, terrified for my job that paid the bills, scared nobody would believe me (which they never did) and didn’t want to take a job away from people I once considered family. —> i also have attached messages where he talks about how sexy my 18 year old friend is, who was at his house babysitting his children. He asks for her age and proceeds to say he doesn’t care that she’s in a relationship. regarding his relationship, he lost a moment of judgement with the woman who’s managing his restaurant. —>as for the details of the night i was sexually harassed. what has now become June 4th at around midnight, my ex boyfriend and I were invited back into his office to chat- at this point we had preferred to get along with him since threatening our jobs was something he’d already done in the past if there was lack of compliance. We are invited into his office, where 4 lines of cocaine were already prepared for Mel, my ex, myself and former bartender was present in the room as well. Our friend arrives shortly after and my ex partner leaves the office to get him.. While he is gone, Mel asks me in French (that way bartender wouldn’t be able to translate) to expose myself to him. he goes on and on begging me to take off my dress in front of the both of them since “he is my boss and he has the right”. I will never be able to unhear those words. “je suis ton patron, j’ai le droit”. After expressing several times that that is not who i am, nor am i comfortable doing so in front of two men almost twice my age. i leave the room to find my ex and tell him what happened. he speaks privately with mel and told my ex that he thought we were swingers and that it was okay to ask me that. We were 19 and 20 years old in a relationship, we both worked for him at the restaurant being together. there was no swinging, and that was the only excuse he could come up with in the moment. He asks me again when he has a moment with me alone and asked me to promise that i’d reveal myself to him within 10 years. I said absolutely not. We ended up driving him home that evening because he was too inebriated to drive, let alone run his business. he begged us to stay the night at his house - where I was way too uncomfortable and scared to stay. This is only bits a pieces of the misery this family has posed on me, and I’ve had enough of staying silent. The truth needed to be revealed, and there needs to be consequences for the way he’s treated me as well as his other employees, the way he allowed paying guests to consume unsanitary food and put up this facade all while doing so. i hope this opens some perspective, i’ve been waiting so long to talk about it. attached are messages between him and I with translations provided

2023.05.31 18:59 -rmjb- Aeotec Energy Monitor - historic data
Hi, I have this device clamped on the lines coming off my water heater breaker. I have a tankless water heater and wanted to find out just much electricity is uses in a typical two weeks.
The problem is that the data being reported is spotty. We use hot water every day, but for some days it has zero energy consumption.
It's currently the only Z-Wave device I have, the others are ZigBee, so I have some Z-Wave in-wall outlets on order to hopefully improve the network.
While I wait on that, does anyone have any experience with this device? Will I be able to get a gauge of how much electricity I've used over the last 14 days? The interface seems very limited in the SmartThings app.

2023.05.31 18:35 julesB09 Home Addition - Why did they do what they did?
Hi Plumbers of Reddit!
My husband and I bought a 1950's ranch which had an expansion over 20 years ago. During this expansion they split the water system in two, kinda. We are on a well/ septic system, we have 2 well pumps, 2 water heaters and softeners and two whole house filtration systems. Both systems exit to the same septic system. Over time one was definitely used much less and now needs to have the water softener, hot water heater, well pump and a bunch of faucets replaced. My question is if I should?
Is there any reason not to simply re-pipe the whole thing to one main water system? Even if it means I need to switch to a larger capacity of those things, wouldn't it make sense to upgrade once and then only worry about maintaining one system? Save on costs and space, right?
What I don't understand is why they didn't do that in the first place? Is there a limitation on how far the water can travel (we have a long ranch, on a dirt crawlspace, in the Midwest, 1800 sq ft home, with TERRIBLE well water). Would it have been initially cheaper? Would it have been a water pressure issue?
The second system that is not in use, is due to an electrical issue with the pump that needs about $1500 of electrical work to be up to code, so we decommissioned the two rooms that used the water supply (a bathroom and in-law suite kitchen). I get that there are both immediate and long term financial implications. If we have to replace the water softer, heater and upgrade the filtration system for this system, wouldn't it make more sense to spend the money on going to one system? Also - if I do that, would an electric hot water heater be a feasible option for hard water? Is there something I'm missing?
Thank you for any help you can give, ya'll have saved my butt thousands on this sub!

2023.05.31 18:23 k819799amvrhtcom Self-Imposed Videogame Challenge: Trans Ally Edition!
TL;DR (spoilers): You, and anyone who wants to try the challenge with you if it's a multiplayer game, are a trans ally, and your job is to collect $25,000 or the equivalent thereof in in-game money (rounded up to the next smallest divisible part) for your transgender friend's transition in less than 31 in-game years. Everything is allowed. You do not have to finish the game. Want a new and interesting way to play your favorite videogame? I got one with a transgender theme that is interesting, challenging, easy to implement, and compatible with almost any videogame, so it's
a Mario challenge,
a Pokémon challenge,
a Minecraft challenge, and so on and so forth, all at the same time!
The Plot
You, and anyone who wants to try the challenge with you if it's a multiplayer game, are a trans ally, and your job is to collect money to pay for your transgender friend's transition. You win by acquiring enough in-game money. You are allowed to consult the internet, use passwords from the internet,
commit in-game crimes, purchase microtransactions,
abuse glitches, use cheat codes, and even hack the game to reach your goal, but is it really worth the effort? You are kinda expected to use the easiest way to win the challenge that you know of.
The Rules
Rule #1: You have to get the money you need for a transition. In order to make the challenge less boring for you, I did the research for you and came to the result of
$25,000. However, this value might change if you try out this challenge in the far future, meaning that this challenge technically changes depending on when you attempt it. The value is expected to rise even further with inflation, or perhaps it might be reduced with the invention of more efficient surgery techniques. If the USA ever starts getting the universal healthcare system or a societal breakdown makes these surgeries impossible, this challenge will refer to the cost of the legal name & gender change, instead. And if that also ever becomes free then just choose a different country where it isn't free yet. But this is not going to change anytime soon (When do you think this challenge will become obsolete?) so, for now, you just have to remember to collect $25,000 in in-game money. This applies to every game that uses $ for in-game money. If the game uses £ or ¥ or € or any other real-world value, you'll have to convert it.
Here's an online tool for converting currencies, which also supports various cryptocurrencies and custom rate dates. If the maximum amount of in-game money you can hold at once is less then the challenge is simply impossible.
This only applies to non-videogame currencies. Rule #2: If the in-game currency is fictional then you'll have to convert it (rounded up to the next smallest divisible part). It's easy if you can buy in-game money
with real money, even if that feature doesn't work because of a glitch or something. Otherwise, you'll have to do some research. If you can't find any direct information on the internet, I would suggest starting
here to get a basic idea on how to calculate that. If there are multiple in-game currencies you are allowed to split the price of the transition among them in any way you want, provided you know the value of all of them. If there is no in-game currency then you are allowed to
use points instead. If the game doesn't have points either then you can try to invent a
substitute currency but it has to be something that would actually work as a substitute currency in the world you're in. If that's not possible either then the only way for you to win this challenge is to raise real money by doing a let's play of the game. But then you'll have to actually pay for a real trans person's transition (yourself included) or donate the money to transgender-related causes to actually win the challenge.
Here's a website that lets you donate for transgender causes. If
the amount of in-game money you can hold at once is less or you were unable to find out how much you need then you are also allowed to simply collect the maximum possible amount instead because
games will never ask you for more money than you can hold for a single product, meaning that this would have to be the in-game prize of a transition, as transitions are always for only a single person.
This only applies to videogame currencies. Rule #3: You do not need to finish the game. All you need to do to win this challenge is to get the money somehow. Please keep in mind that the exchange rate isn't constant. The exact amount you need to win the challenge has to be enough in the moment when you have the amount. You automatically win the challenge the moment this is the case.
Rule #4: You need to get the money in less than 31 in-game years. This number was calculated by subtracting the age at which children begin to have an innate sense of their own gender (4 years) from the average lifespan of a trans person (35 years). If the game has time-travelling elements, you are allowed to use those to extend the time limit. However, it only counts if this actually involves time itself and not just the timer. The same also goes the other way around:
Travelling into the future or even
moving in relativistic speeds will decrease the time limit. If the time limit runs out, I hope you have a way to return back to the past later!
Rule #5: If you can choose between multiple difficulty settings, you are allowed to choose the easiest one. In fact, you are expected to.
Trans people are already on hard mode and the idea of being an ally is to specifically use the possibilities given to you to help those with fewer possibilities than you. If you have the option to select an easier difficulty setting which would make it easier for you to win this challenge, use it. Even if you're already used to playing on a higher difficulty mode. Not doing so would be considered bad strategy on your part. You are allowed to choose a higher difficulty setting, but please only do so if this actually gives you some advantages, like more rewards, more levels, or faster gameplay. This challenge gives you no bonus points for selecting a higher difficulty setting.
Rule #6: Emulation, and all tricks that come with it, are explicitly allowed. Doing so might be against the law but it is explicitly
not against the rules of this challenge. The reason for this is because being transgender has been illegal for a long time and still is in many states, forcing many people to break the law in order to live their lives.
The police have historically targeted trans and gender non-conforming folks. Stonewall was a riot against police brutality. I am not advocating for doing anything illegal. I am, however, saying that you should never use the law to argue for the morality of anything trans-related, as doing so would be disrespectful towards a huge part of transgender history. Therefore, this rule will remain in effect even if being transgender ever becomes legal worldwide.
In order to make the challenge
even less boring for you, I have started researching loads of fictional currencies and how much money you would have to collect there for this challenge so you don't have to.

The values are not guaranteed to be accurate. In fact, I have found many cases of contradictory information on the internet. But you don't care about that anyway, do you? This isn't about the exact value anyway. These are all meant to be rough estimates to give you a sense of scale.
The Motivation
I was inspired by
my Pokémon Trans Ally challenge that is about collecting money for a trans person's surgery. If you actually attempt this challenge you'll see that it'll usually be a very long and tedious challenge that will require a lot of experimentation, long-term planning, and doing the same things over and over again for a very long time,
especially if you wanna try this as a speedrun. If the challenge bores you out, well,
that is the point! The challenge is meant to give people with little or no sense of money an impression of how much money this really is! Now, you could argue that this challenge could theoretically be used to visualize
any amount of money, and you would technically be correct, but I still think that a transgender transition is one of the best matches for this challenge because:
- A transition is always only for one person. We aren't talking about a company buying another company or a country investing in more infrastructure. This is something within the realm of a single person so it makes sense to have this be a challenge for a single person or a small group.
- This is not a luxury item like a famous painting or a private jet. Overwhelming scientific evidence proves that this is a medical necessity that trans people require in order to live like the majority of people. It is not something you want but something you need. So you can really say that acquiring all this money is really something that they have to go through. Therefore, unless you are transgender yourself, I would really recommend you to actually play the challenge until the end, even if it takes you years to actually do so. Not for your enjoyment but to acknowledge trans people's struggles and maybe also to protest against the gatekeeping system.
- Unlike people who regularly need medications, the transgender transition is a once-in-a-lifetime thing and is therefore compatible with a challenge that you only play through once and then never again.
- Once your transition is over, it cannot be taken from you.
- It is not possible to request the costs to be paid for you if you can prove that you cannot afford it, meaning the only way to get it is to actually get the money.
- Being trans is not an illness or a disability. Trans people never did anything wrong, neither deliberately nor accidentally. They are simply born with a condition that requires them to get the money. Trans people are therefore as guilt-free as a typical videogame hero.
Do you know anything more expensive that fulfills all those criteria?
The Fun Facts
- If you collect 1,000,000 coins in Super Mario Bros. 2, you win a golden Mario statue. This is actually more money than required for the trans ally challenge!
- If payment by installments were supported by this challenge then the most cumbersome game to do this challenge in would be The Binding of Isaac, because that would require you to send at least 25,253 installments. You would have to max out your money counter every 10¾ hours on average.
- You immediately win the challenge if you try it on a game where the money you start with is already high enough. For example, in the game The Roll Ahead, you play as either Bill Gates or Steve Jobs and you start out with 35 Billion.
- In the game Anti-Monopoly, you win by losing your money. However, if you try this challenge in this game, you'll still have to gain money. This is kinda the opposite of a coinless challenge because where a coinless challenge makes positive money negative, this challenge makes negative money positive.
- Characters like the monk from Crypt of the NecroDancer, Entity from depict1, and Default Dan from Default Dan die upon touching money. Kinda makes you think, doesn't it?
- The purple coins in the Super Mario Galaxy series, the Butz in Kappa Mikey, the Glotkies in Taxi, the coins in Syobon Action, and the Rasbukniks in Li'l Abner are worth nothing.
- If World of Anime Babes was a real game then this challenge would require 1,250,000,000 tokens. As the narrator said: "Big numbers are better, right?" One way to get this money would be by selling like 1,000 in-game outfits.
- If you are playing a game taking place in the medieval time, the challenge would require you to get 411¼ medieval pennies.
- If you wanna make the monetary values more immersive, you can look at how they are depicted in the menu of microtransactions. For example, Clash of Clans groups predefined values of gems into bags, sacks, boxes, and chests that therefore represent specific amounts of gems and could therefore be regarded as higher currency units. For example, 2,500,000 gems fit into 179 chests. Sure, this won't help you with strategizing, but it will certainly make it more interesting for your audience!
- According to this article, this challenge would require you to get 129,058,751 Simeons. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to determine which franchise Simeons are from.
- The Ztars from Mario Party and the Rupoors from The Legend of Zelda are currencies that actually take money away from you, making their exchange rates negative!
- If Terrance & Phillip: Give Us Your Money was a real game then this challenge would require 10,204,200 Canadian Coins. This value was calculated under the assumption that everyone would realize that the cheapest deal is actually the best deal. One way to get this money would be by not playing the game 2,041 times. Oh good, you're already on it. But will you make it within the time limit?
- The values of LEGO Studs were calculated using the value of a human life. If you applied this logic to every game with currency units that are worth ¹⁄₁₀₀ life each then a single one of those currency units would already be enough to win this challenge and if you applied this logic to every game where 10,000 points give you an extra life then this challenge would require you to earn 32 points, but only if there isn't already an in-game currency.
- The fictional currency with the highest inflation rate I could find was in Elbonia, the rate being 1,000,000,000% daily. Despite the high time limit, I would recommend you to hurry with getting enough money there if you even can.
- The average age at the time the RTS Rise of Nations takes place in was roughly 31 years, which would reduce this challenge's time limit to 27 in-game years at most. Which would be about 2.08 real-time seconds according to estimations made by PeanutButterGamer, according to which the time limit for Diablo would be 6 in-game years and the challenge would be impossible for SimAnt.
- For obvious reasons, a society can only survive if its maximum lifespan is at least the minimum age of fertility. Due to precocious puberty, the world records for the youngest biological parents are 9 years for microgametic parents and 5 years and 7 months for macrogametic parents, meaning that the maximum lifespan of any human society must always be at least 9 years. Since 9 years are more than 4 years, it therefore follows that transgender healthcare benefits all possible human societies. Remember this if you ever attempt this challenge on a game that takes place in a society where these values are different for whatever reason, like a society of anthropomorphic animals for example.
- If the average lifespan was less than 4 years then the average lifespan of a trans person would actually be higher than the average lifespan as a whole. This is because trans people who die before the age of 4 would not be included in the statistic, due to being undetectable. If that happens, you'll have to recalculate what the statistic would be.
- Transgender surgery is older than the discovery of Pluto, modern toilet paper, chicken tikka masala, duct tape, ballpoint pens, ciabatta bread, Velcro, and Tupperware.
- The Wumpa Fruit from Crash Bandicoot are also a form of currency, as was revealed in some games. A Wumpa Fruit is worth exactly the same as a piece of gold in Skylanders. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find out what either of those are worth.
- The most valuable fictional currency that I could find was the Aqua from High Frontier 4 All, which is estimated to be a three-digit million $ amount.
- Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash value Gem Apples differently. I based their value on Super Kirby Clash because Team Kirby Crash Deluxe only lets you purchase a maximum of 3,000 Gem Apples, meaning that Super Kirby Clash would be more practical for purchases over $29.85. Noone would accept a payment of 838 installments if a more practical way of payment is possible.
- This challenge would require 2,500,000 Nuggets in the game PokéHeroes but I didn't add it to the list because it's a fangame and I didn't wanna confuse.

/uj If you donate gold in Gaia Online, the company will donate money to charity. I find this mechanic to be a really good idea and I would like to see it more often because it enables players to support the less fortunate without having to donate their own money. Just imagine if every game on this list gave you the option to donate $25,000 worth of in-game money which would then be donated to transgender causes and unlock the Trans Ally achievement! I know it would be very cumbersome to unlock, but completionists would definitely go for it and also, it would be done for a good cause!

/rj Did you know you can make it so that
every time an amount of money is shown, its value is converted into transgender transitions?
Simply get
Universal Automatic Currency Converter, then scroll down to
Custom display and enter the following:
Use custom display: ☑
Custom display: ¤ 🏳️⚧️
Custom conversion rate: 0.00004

/uj The original post was removed by Reddit's spam filters so I uploaded it again without the links in the list. The original list with the links in them will be in the comments.

2023.05.31 16:16 morird74 Potential lemon on my 21 powerboost? Looking for advice
Bought my 2021 Lariat Powerboost (24k miles) just over a month ago. Had to drive 6 hours and two states over to get the truck I wanted as no local ford dealers had it, but this ford dealer did. but seemed worth it.
I absolutely love everything about the truck from the looks to the features. But have had to bring it to the dealer 3 times now.
This latest time the check engine light came on, and i would sometimes get a notification on the dash “power reduced to lower engine temperature” even though the temp looks fine from the gauge.
I read the code and it came up as P2C22. Which from my research looked like it had to do with the heat exchanger.
Finally got an appointment at my local dealer and they said it’s a faulty “flex pipe water heater”. They said there is no ETA on this part but he estimates it’ll be in by July… which is over a month away.
He said I would be fine driving it for normal every day driving, but I operate a side business where I need to tow a trailer several times a week… he said I should not tow until it’s fixed.
Also said they do not have a loaner to give me. So now for at least a month I can’t use my truck for my business..
I’m not sure what to do at this point.. I don’t want to get rid of my truck as I love it, but I’m now going to be losing business because this nearly brand new truck has issues.
