I subscribed for many years, but no longer. What broke it for me was their legal shenanigans and the every increasing use of dumb, and frequently wrong, AI crap. There apps are no longer reliable in the Apple world and their only suggestion is a factory reset of all involved devices. Did that once and a few weeks later is was back to being broken again. Not going through that pain again. So, no money for them until they focus on fixing their core application instead of pushing AI crap and selling merch. And don't even get me started on their push to eliminate bogus KOMs which still leave segments with dozens of 60+ mph riders who've done 200+ miles on the day.

As part of a remodel we are adding a drain pan to an existing electric water heater. We are located in Washington State.

I'm trying to get a handle on doing it properly. Reading code is not my favorite pastime. Section 507.5 addresses drain pans and states that the pan should drain "to an approved location." However, I can't find anyplace that addresses what an approved location is. Draining into the enclosed crawlspace would be easy, but I suspect wouldn't be an approved location. Given the drains locations, it wouldn't be too difficult to run it outside instead. Which is correct?

That leads to the second question. What is the preferred method for keeping rodents out of a water heater pan drain that exits to the outside?

We are dividing a house in order to rent the other half. There's a fire-rated passage door between the two sides. (Note: This is not an exit door.) We would like to secure the door so that the tenant has no access from their side, and a key is required from our side.

So far, all I've found are deadbolts with key access on the outside of the door and a blanking plate with fasteners on the inside, or a blanking plate on the outside with a thumb turn on the inside. Neither of which meets our needs. Does anybody have suggestions?

I've started paying attention to what the people in line in front of me select for a tip. At a location I visit frequently, they have ready-made sandwiches, a few coolers with bulk-made salads, drinks, etc. They also make espresso drinks and serve ice cream. I am both amazed and dismayed that people will grab a salad and a drink from the cooler, and when they're rung up, they'll tip 15%. I always want to ask, "What are you tipping for? What service did you receive?" But the social contract says that you don't butt into other people's business. It seems that here in the US, we have normalized tipping workers even when they offer no service at all other than running a register.

My Karoo is currently on 1.638 and is set for Auto Download. It shows 1.640 as the latest version. Clicking the install button causes the Karoo to reboot, but doesn't install the update. Powering off, then back on, and trying it again yields the same results.

I've seen other posts saying that the only way to recover is to perform a factory reset, then re-pair all your sensors. Given that I have 7 sensors across 3 different bikes, this is a pita. (I know, first-world problem.) Is there any other way that people know of to deal with this?

I have removed a bunch of routes and collections from the Hammerhead Dashboard website. The removals synced fine to the iOS Hammerhead app, but they still show up on my Karoo. Adding new routes and collections syncs just fine, and they show up on the Karoo. Is this a known issue, or is there a trick to getting them removed?

To clarify, I know I can manually remove routes from the Karoo itself, but it is a tedious process, and I have dozens of routes to be removed.

Edit: The Hammerhead help page states, "You cannot make any changes to your collections from your Karoo. You have to perform that action on your Dashboard." But making changes to a collection on the Dashboard does not change the collection on the Karoo. This makes me think that there is either a bug or an issue with my device/setup.

I thought it would be nice to take the train to visit my sister. The fare from Seattle to San Francisco in a sleeper compartment is $973. That's just nuts.

For recovery from back issues, I have been riding a Specialized Turbo Creo 2 Comp. I've found the power feedback quite helpful. As I transition back to riding my Checkpoint, I'm interested in adding power meters to it. I ride SPD pedals. What have others done, and how did you like it?

Edit: My bike has the Shimano drivetrain, long since upgraded, but still Shimano.

Edit 2: Thanks for all the feedback and information from everybody. I've ordered the Favero Assiomo Pro MX-2 pedals. Yippee Skippee! More data to analyze.

A problem I have is on steep gravel climbs when riding with others who have great climbing gears. Trying to match their speed requires me to grind (cadence of 50 and less), which is murder on my knees. The manual implies that I can mount a 42T chainring. Has anybody had any success in mounting something smaller like a 40T or 38T?
