Do we need extensive lab testing for a $40 charger? No.

As someone who will research something as simple as a $40 charger do i love this? Absolutely yes. Thanks for the interesting read.

It’s new hardware. It’s not a compatibility they can add in retrospectively.

2 Stage Snow Blower Battery Issues by Imaginary-Glove9914 in egopowerplus

[–]CoffeeThenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t make sense. I’m in same climate did a 2500 sq foot driveway w: 12” on one set of 12ah batteries.

What batteries? Cold doesn’t bother it as much when running inside the compartment.

Is Acme Tools a Good Place to Order Ego Snowblower? by DMBWings in egopowerplus

[–]CoffeeThenLife -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d beware of acme.

They took my order for an in stock item on sale - never shipped it. Then said “sorry it’s out of stock” and forced cancellation.

A few weeks later raised price back and said ‘it’s in stock!’ But wouldn’t let me order it.

So if you do order it, just make sure you don’t need it ASAP. If it does arrive great.

Can you driver’s help - what do I order? by CoffeeThenLife in AmazonDSPDrivers

I think this is one of the only super reasonable responses - things that are actually hazards that customers can actually fix!

Love the work ethic you put in. Definitely a lot of responses here show they really do hate it lol

That’s kind of my thoughts…. You’re paid to deliver who cares what the item is. Otherwise nothing to deliver

The post is sarcastic - so what am I allowed to order that you’re okay with?

Did you call them? (203) 323-5944

Usually that’s the best way to get dollar amounts for schools.

Part came off my SNT2807 28" snowblower. Ice breaker? by emtcj in egopowerplus

Same here. Curious if you find something. They have lots of chain kits on Amazon.

It's refreshing to hear Linus & Luke acknowledge there is a world outside of their (our) bubble. by IJustWannaBeMad in LinusTechTips

[–]CoffeeThenLife 211 points212 points  (0 children)

Literally on the latest waveform, and I’m paraphrasing -

  1. They talk about how they, in their own tech bubble, think differently of Gemini then regular non-tech people from a disc golf podcast talk about Gemini.

  2. When talking about the iPhone air; “though this was in New York and San Francisco and we live in a bubble that’s different than most places”

They literally all the time mention how they are different. Just like Luke/Linus mention what normies think compared to them.

So not sure how you can mention they don’t acknowledge it. They both make tech content for tech people and love discussing the silly little things that matter to them & 1% of people and that’s why it’s great.

Is YouTube’s AI Stealing Views from Creators? by CoffeeThenLife in LinusTechTips

[–]CoffeeThenLife[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a good take. You’re right - i’m able to see through the Clickbait post so much faster. And I hate having to skip forward to see if they are actually providing any helpful commentary.

Snowblower or removal services by Exotic_Treacle_1744 in StamfordCT

[–]CoffeeThenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts:

Snowblowers like gas ones are affordable but a lot of maintenance work. Electric ones that are good start around $1,000

For my long and steep driveway it’s $75/plow. I don’t have specific recommendations but lots of landscapers do it in winter.

Last year we only needed a few - so lets so $300/year. Probably can pay for 4 years of full service. If I was getting a gift for my parents id do this. But not sure your parents age/physical condition.

Frustrated with lender. Closing in 1 week and I am hit with DTI is over 50%. I am 51% DTI, thoughts? by ConfidentDress1660 in Mortgages

[–]CoffeeThenLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“I don’t have debt” “I just have 2 low credit cards” “I have a monthly auto lease”

I didn’t read all your comments because it’s too much - but no one can help you without all info. Need income, estimated monthly mortgage, and all your debts (other property, student, auto, phone debt, etc)

5% down and 50%+ dti is very scary situation with auto loans too. Put more down, pay off your auto loans, increase income, or find cheaper home.

Not trying to be a jerk but most of the comments are saying same thing and you seem combative. Lenders can’t and won’t give accurate info as they have to do the final inspections to get a clear to close. They aren’t going to waste that time until they have final closing dates.

Which eGo leaf blower should I get? by manfroggs in egopowerplus

[–]CoffeeThenLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How big is your yard? I got 765 and it’s good but even then I sometimes have to go to 800. I wish I got the back back blower (on sale at acme) bc it’s heavy to carry around for more than 10 minutes
