    Any cheap / free ideas to cool a garage?

    Thanks, they added some different drain plugs to the carton that let water drip slowly instead of possibly keeping it in the unit. It’s a very nice unit and will hold me over til I get a mini split.

    Any cheap / free ideas to cool a garage?

    I just ordered this from Costco, $289. Tried it yesterday, lowered my insulated garage from 79 to 75 in 2 hours and also dropped the humidity from 63% to 43%. It was 93 outside and the garage is below a living space that is cooled to 85 when nobody is there. It really doesn’t get very hot being...

    Less than 200 Miles a year, Change Oil every 6 months?

    Basically anything more than the 3 mile drive once in a while!

    Less than 200 Miles a year, Change Oil every 6 months?

    I know you said you can’t drive it on the highway but I’d be more concerned about the fuel system than the engine. Why exactly can’t it go on the highway for 20 minutes every few months?

    Historical electricity prices

    I looked and it recommended a 28-36kw system. Looks like that is around $100k. I’m just not sure it makes sense for me. I earn over $4k a year on the $100k cash I have sitting in an online account which happens to be pretty close to my annual electric bill. Of course the tax credit could reduce...

    Historical electricity prices

    Yep. EV, pool pump, 2 dehumidifiers, 4 central AC units, 4 fridges and 1 freezer, 3 kids and 1 wife that leave every single light on.

    Historical electricity prices

    St. Louis, MO. It’s only really that high July and August. Averages about $270 across the entire year. I’m not sure how much solar would cost me to meet my demand but I imagine it’s quite expensive.

    17.6 cents for summer, all in after our recent rate increase.

    Eye floaters

    I had what I’d consider a flashing flower looking shape in the lower right field of view of my left eye back in March. It was only visible in bright light, like outdoors in full sunlight. I just so happened to have an annual eye exam within a week of noticing it and my optometrist referred me to...

    Dumbest Ford Thing Ever - 2025 F150

    I’m pretty sure my 2019 and 2021 F-150s both put the parking brake on automatically when I put it in park. Maybe I’m wrong though. My wife’s 24 Yukon XL puts it on if you park on a hill automatically.

    Pilot refuses to fly after passenger smoked marijuana in lavatory

    I’m not, but I’ve got common sense.

    Pilot refuses to fly after passenger smoked marijuana in lavatory

    No way are you going to piss hot from someone hitting a vape or a one hitter in an airplane bathroom.

    Retiring early... Geographic arbitrage

    Does your estate exceed $7.16M? If not, no inheritance tax in NY. I’m just assuming it doesn’t because I can’t imagine amassing that much money but also working on cars in the street for 50 years.

    Really hard to pay for gas after 8 years of EVs.

    No, not replacing. My wife drives the Yukon, I primarily drive the Tesla now. It’s probably just relative but the 6.2 in 6,000 pounds feels so much slower than 600 hp or whatever it is in 4,000 pounds. You’ll enjoy the 6.2, it’s definitely better than the 5.3. The Z71 wasn’t available in 2021...

    Really hard to pay for gas after 8 years of EVs.

    I’ve got both, an EV at ~$0.13/kWh and a 6.2 V8 that averages 15 mpg using premium. The Tesla gets about 15,000 miles per year and the Yukon XL about 20,000. They are 2 very different vehicles but that 6.2 may as well feel like a lawn mower engine compared to the Tesla, it’s not even close. I...
