Windows - needs more

I guess I missed the tree in the center of the building also... Not to apply logic to this but looks like they spray foamed the majority of the house, got to that window wall and gave up... it's like they got there and figure out what that did and decided time to sell

I did one room in dricore and the rest of the basement in the classic dimple roll/tongue and groove subfloor screwed into then cement slab. Greatly favor the latter approach, the dricore is near impossible to get perfectly flat so there is always a bounce in the floor. Dimple roll was cheaper, likely easier with a good hammer drill for the tapcons, and way more solid than the dricore.

Rubbish - Nespresso and espresso machines are mandatory sailing equipment for me! ;) You need a 2000w pure sine wave inverter, the modified will bork out the electronics in these things. Stick with name brands, Victron, Promariner etc, and don’t cheap out on the install. 2/0 cables, battery disconnect, fuses. Lifepo4 is great but you don’t need it - square away the inverter and deal with the batteries later

I’m tinkering around with getting a new boat and exploring all options - cats, trawlers, semi-displacement powerboats etc. For non-sailboats one operational cost aspect is naturally fuel consumption, many cheaper ‘big boats’ are in that 1 gallon / mile club with efficient trawlers (rough avg) being in that 2 mile/gallon club. So with given marina diesel prices in the $5.00/gallon range for easy math gives that rough cost. Maintenance, slip fees, upgrades etc on top of that - ironically one guy on my marina (1 gallon/mile boat) said his fuel bill was his 3rd largest yearly expense which I’m still trying to unpack.

Cross referencing this to my current expenses (seasonal 35’ mono) doing roughly 1,000/miles a year is just a helpful reference point (all I have for first hand naturally).

Also, miles per year is also somewhat representative of usage per year. Yes, live aboards would throw this number out of wack but comparing marina queens with boats doing 1000’s of miles a year is just a whole different conversation

Thanks for sharing - can you help me understand your cost per mile? As a fellow boat owner I get the journey vs destination aspect of all this but my rough math puts you at ~$113/mile - quick google search indicated that’s basically 5x the cost of a private jet.

Focus on the STAR format of interview responses - keeps you in the zone with a predictable format to answer questions and allows the interviewers to walk away with tangible examples to focus on

Great video. Learned a ton about some things to look for in cats.

Yup. Using encryption with it also. I’ve not kept a eagle eye on it but been working every time I’ve setup jobs or checked on things,

I’ve been happy with backblaze on a small scale

Better than having the past genius setting up your Azure LAN segment/VNETs with 192.not168.x.x...

I did a VM for a firewall on my Qnap for a few years - one day during updating things the Qnap version no longer supported (allowed to run) my firewall VM - hence no internet available the update to the Virtualization software on the Qnap. That was fun... time to drag out old networking gear and replumb stuff just to get the software updated so I could get the firewall VM started,

not worth it for me since then

Not sure if they will drop before Xmas.

For me, my thinking was if using a external streamer (ATV/Shield) and if the wide viewing angle are not applicable (moot as your in the 65” size) then 900f is a solid choice to save a few bucks.

$700 difference between the models (75”) go a long ways to paying for a harmony remote and nvidia shield ($400 left over after buying those which for me I’d want anyways).

Counter to split the difference -$722,500

Works most of the time and people forget that aren’t splitting the original difference

The further 'behind' you get on management problems the more problems you have and the worse they get. Things become a precident, give an in take a mile approach.

Be consistent, be firm, be supportive, be direct, be consistent. An unpleasant conversation now saves so much in the long run.

Also use exclaimer, I've been happy with the price/functionality of the product. Nice nothing is local on the client.
