    3D Printed House - Wells Fargo will finance.

    I follow a guy on Tiktok who's a home inspector (Cyfy home inspection), I can't remember if he's done any DR Horton homes but my God are some of these new homes downright scary. Little to no insulation, rafters improperly or not fastened at all, beer bottles left behind, sliding doors not...

    Do people park backwards in parking spaces where you live?

    That's why I find a spot I can pull through, win win!

    Do people park backwards in parking spaces where you live?

    As a former big back and someone with anxiety over just about everything, I'll just walk a bit more 😅

    Do people park backwards in parking spaces where you live?

    I prefer to back in but I'm not going to hold up people so I can do it, I'll go find a spot I can pull through towards the back if needed. In a parking garage yeah I'm backing in regardless. The Challenger has massive blind spots in the back, the expedition is just huge. I even back into my own...

    Dual CPU motherboard upgrade, good or bad?

    Yes, the CPU can't feed the GPU fast enough. Minimum spec states a Core i5-8600, which has significantly faster single core performance than your i7-5820k. Your CPU is slightly ahead of the i5-8600 in multi threading on account of 12 threads instead of 6, but if the game isn't using all 12...

    “Clean your MAF!” - everyone

    This thread made me realized that of all the vehicles I've owned (8), not a single one had a MAF sensor, they've all used MAP.

    Game: Read this plug

    This is what I'm thinking too. Seen it in some of the Mopar performance groups with guys running Boostane.

    With advanced tracking in newer cars will older vehicles become choice of criminals?

    I think EMP fears are greatly exaggerated in regards to vehicles. While yes there are tons of wires and sensitive electronics they're fairly shielded. The electric grid on the other hand, you have hundreds of miles of wires to soak up all that EMP goodness.

    energy usage calculation for home cooling

    One flat rate all the time here, no other option except paying MORE for the utility to purchase REC's (renewable energy certificates) on your behalf. Gotta love a "regulated" monopoly.

    energy usage calculation for home cooling

    I'm running my whole house off a 6250 watt portable generator, it even runs the AC but my central air is only 1.5 tons. It is wired into the panel with an interlock kit. The Carolina's are gorgeous, we just recently went for the first time.

    switch from Apple ecosystem to Android?

    A quick look through his public Twitter posts is all it took to get a good idea why he got banned. I will now go wash my eyes with the naptha in the solvent tank at work.

    energy usage calculation for home cooling

    We were primarily coal and NG.... until they decided to go full send on renewables. Now we have the highest rates for both electricity and gas delivery charges (double my actual gas cost) in the whole state and we get at least 1 24 hour minimum power outage a year. Last month it was ~30 hours.

    Advice welcome on helping kids choose family vehicle

    I mean a minivan is great on a sheer utility view point but my God they're miserable to drive. So much so we ditched ours for an Expedition despite having 4 kids. I'd get a WK2 Grand Cherokee or Durango if it were my money. Excellent AWD systems, ZF8 transmissions, engine choices (3.6 V6, 5.7...

    2018 Honda Pilot Recall replacement part warranty

    My Durango had a similar problem.... Water could enter the brake booster, freeze, and cause reduced braking. I had the recall done (they test that the booster would hold "acceptable" vacuum and put a shell around it to divert water), and a few months later booster failed anyway. They replaced...
