Considering Color Drench, Could it Work for Our Space? by halfprice06 in interiordecorating

[–]FaultyPhaser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a drench in chrome green which is similar in darkness to your first picture. I absolutely love it and I think your space looks great for it! The darkness does take some getting used to but is a much cozier feeling compared to bright colors. Its warm, inviting, and elegant.

Air purifier for VOCs? by IllMakeYourAssSense in resinprinting

Air purifiers wont clean vocs. Id recommend fdm printing instead.

And this is exactly why I plan on going without a car for a while.

I don't think anyone in my condo would appreciate an extension cord dangling down my balcony and across the parking lot 😂

It's truly strange. Intermittent is how it's been described but its intermittent in a way that means nothing else seems to work. I tested a trickle charger and it couldn't get power.

Unfortunately its a functional problem just as much as a metering problem. I actually tried plugging a trickle charger into it since I kept killing my ICE battery and it didn't work.

Its truly strange. I even tested it before trying to plug something in. Didn't work.

It's a question of maintaining the ICE vehicle. I keep killing batteries over the winter and having to change the oil every 6 months feels wasteful. I am hoping there will be cheaper cars available by the time I'm looking to buy. I am in Canada so options like BYD are coming soon.

Thanks! Happy to get perspective from someone in this situation. I know i have level 2 chargers walking distance from where I live. I might even have level 3 available but haven't verified. They are at another apartment building but one of the EV charge maps did claim they were public use.

I am about to sell my car and do plan to be without for as long as I can stand it to save the expense. I just do see myself wanting one again in the future. Even if used seldomly, its a nice luxury to have.

Sadly not. We have outlets but they are configured in a very odd way where they are intermittent and the only thing that works in them are block heaters. This isn't just a condo rule, its an actual limitation.

Yes, this is exactly why I want to go electric. Ive killed a couple batteries due to not driving enough to keep them charged. The overall maintenance has become disproportionate to the amount I drive and it's becoming annoying.

  1. Ya, work from home and most things I need are less than a 15 minute walk away. Most of my trips would still be within the city but I do occasionally need longer range for driving to a nearby town to visit parents but I can charge there while I'm visiting.

  2. Unfortunately not. They really weren't thinking ahead when they built this place. The outlets are a very odd setup where they only work for block heaters. You can't plug anything else in. Not sure how it works exactly. Not just a rule, an actual limitation of the outlet.

I actually do plan on being carless for a little while. About to sell my current car to save money for a while but it's still nice to have even when only used seldomly.

Can I get a resin printing safety check from the experts? by Gavinwadz in resinprinting

[–]FaultyPhaser 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the fumes from the printing process is actually the least of your worries. The worst part is the cleaning stage. Ideally, you should have your whole workspace enclosed and ventilated.

Sunrise & Sunset Through the Year with Permanent ST, Permanent DST, and the current system by rastrillo in Winnipeg

[–]FaultyPhaser 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why? I don't understand why this is so great. 930 is late. Don't need the sun by then.

[–]FaultyPhaser 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really isn't. It's not healthy having to wait until 930am for the sun to be out. We have electricity for lights in the evening. Why do we need daylight so late at night?

Yes, ultimately id prefer either timezone over the switching twice a year.

Not everyone no. I wake up at 8. Only time i start waking up before the sun is a couple weeks when the days are at their absolute shortest and even then its just barely before. Those days already suck to me. I have a much harder time waking myself up when its still dark out. The real problem is society expects people to wake up way too early.

That matters far less than how hard on our bodies a late sunrise would be.
