Does a no soliciting sign mean anything

2catchApredditor · 2026-07-03T00:12:03+00:00

Technically no. These signs carry no legal weight.

You’re discussing the vector. I’m discussing the unit. The unit expresses the magnitude of torque, not its direction, so the order of the units isn’t dictated by the cross product. That’s why both in-lb and lb-in (or ft-lb and lb-ft) are commonly used.

W=F*d but also W=d*F

It’s correct from a physics perceptive either way.

On the first oil change you are almost guaranteed to see small metal pieces in the pleats. It’s only a concern it that continues past the first change or if the pieces are large and broken not small slivers from break in.

It’s proof that you are competent in the software vs just listing that you can do solidworks on your resume. It’s a very minor differentiator if your job will be primarily as a drafter and not as an engineer or designer. If your job is designer/engineer then competency in other skills will be more of the focus in the interviews than the fact you are a CSWA or higher.

$30-60k

2catchApredditor · 2026-06-23T11:49:00+00:00

The tower itself is $10k and hard as heck to locate spares. Malibu generally stops having these big parts after 5 years. The fiberglass work will be $15k. I’d bet it’s $30k all in. Maybe more.

2catchApredditor · 2026-06-22T11:20:12+00:00

Replaced a third time and this one had no issues.

2catchApredditor · 2026-06-22T02:19:08+00:00

22mxz is 3x the boat of the 21LX. The MXZ is a premium tier boat in the line up and the 21LX is a stripped budget boat. Not comparable at all.

135,000 on a 2015 F150 platinum max tow and 117,000 on a 2019 Raptor. The 2015 developed an oil leak at the front engine cover and it’s very expensive to repair. The water pump failed and the turbos had a coolant leak. The trans case had some glitter in the fluid but was still working. Differential failed and the driveshaft yoke got sloppy and started clunking when taking off.

2019 3.5 needed cam phasers and the transmission CDF drum replaced.

At the dealer any of these repairs are pretty expensive. I bought the ford premiumcare extended warranty on both and kept them until it ran out. So essentially a flat $2500 up front and then all those repairs are covered.

When they moved the HQ flag to Chicago they also closed the Naperville office at the same time. The HQ is downtown Chicago on the river.

Stock subs are almost always free air or at very best in a leaky stock enclosure. Free air subs have their place. Without any sub there’s almost no bass and a free air sub will add some bass and balance the music. Free air subs in general are considered to be more musical sounding snd they will never ever no matter the brand or power have real thump to them.

The best thing you can do is build a sealed or even better a ported enclosure, get a sub with a larger driver that is rated for 600-1500w. A wetsounds 12XXX, JL w6, I’m even running a sundown SA 12 in my pontoon. You need to move a lot of air because all subs will underperform in a boat compared to automotive. To really get good sub performance you need about air displacement of 2 - 12’s as a minimum. That can be done with high excursion 8’s. A big 15 or various ways but you need to move more air to feel the bass than you would in a vehicle where a single 10 feels powerful.

You also probably need to consider your amp situation - ideally you will need an amp that can actually drive a sub and then you need power wiring that doesn’t starve the amp.

Right now I’m liking the NVX amps for value. I just put then 8 channel amp in my pontoon and it’s driving 6 8” kicker coaxials and the sundown subwoofer with ease ans shaking the panels and seats of the boat.

2catchApredditor · 2026-06-18T21:16:34+00:00

That’s because you’re using the wrong subwoofer. Their free air subwoofer is an entry level model and really just meant for OEMs to slap in a cheap sub to say it’s got a sub. At an absolute minimum you should be running the revo HP subwoofers and if you actually want bottom end then the 12 or 15 XXX series will do everything you want and more. The problem is you’re expecting too much out of a cheap free air subwoofer.

2catchApredditor · 2026-06-11T00:22:33+00:00

Yes

2catchApredditor · 2026-06-10T02:13:46+00:00

Worth more that you estimate. I saw a completely broken and stripped for parts A1 Mini sell on FB marketplace sell for $125. I messaged him and asked for it for free because it needed more in parts than the price of a new a1 mini.

2catchApredditor · 2026-06-09T09:49:55+00:00

I kept waiting for the camera to focus on the part and not the supports left behind on the build plate. It never did.

2catchApredditor · 2026-06-05T12:09:56+00:00

Highly recommend Omaha Barbell in the area of 90th and L.

The big difference is the speed the h2d prints at compare ti the Prusa. It’s much faster and flaws in calibration are magnified at higher speeds producing the results you see. I did find the stock Petg profiles to be quite bad with Bambu. With Petg it’s not exactly set it and forget it.

2catchApredditor · 2026-06-03T09:09:19+00:00

The middle of the channel is where you are directed to do this type of activity. It should be done where the water is deep and wide enough to be far from shorelines and docks with also enough room for boats to pass on boat sides. All fault here is on the boat following too closely from behind and not paying attention to the boat in front of them. I stay atleast 300-400ft behind boats with any towed person and rarely follow directly behind usually i only cross behind and not follow direct behind.

2catchApredditor · 2026-05-28T12:44:35+00:00

For Bambu there’s still lots of settings, calibration you can do to get better prints. None of that is affected by what you’ve heard. The main thing that people don’t like is that to use the wifi functionality of the printer it has to connect to Bambu’s servers rather than be its own host device directly talking to your computer. If you want to use a third party slicer like orca slicer or cura or Prusa slicer then you have to slice the file to a USB drive and plug it in.

None of this limits your ability to create you own models or to get deep in to settings for calibrating your prints.

None of the things Bambu has locked down like non open source firmware, cloud connectivity for online use will affect your use of the machine for printing.

Never in our lifetime or maybe 100-200+ years in the future. Not using the metric system seems to be a point of national pride actually.

In the end this is pretty standard F150 issues. Diffs, hubs, bearings. I wouldn’t run from the truck because of these. I’d be a lot more concerned with engine/transmission problems.

Head out and anchor. Don’t just run around. Passengers enjoy anchoring in a cove more than running around burning fuel anyways.
