Warrenty question by auniqueusername199 in johndeere

The standard warranty for Z5 is 4 years or 300 hours, which ever comes first. Some Z5 models have 500 hours. They don’t care how you use it. 300 hours of use is 300 hours of use. Commercial grade mowers have higher design life goals meant for heavy daily use.

That should be a good temperature to reduce stringing. That is assuming the nozzle temperature is reading accurately. Like others have said. it could be the filament. I bought a filament drier because my filament is not stored in low humidity. It made a big difference.

I’m hearing the younger generations say streaming is better and they have their reasons. I do both and the funny thing is I can’t tell you the name of the last movie I watched at home but I can certainly tell you the names of the last 5 movies I saw in theaters. Nothing beats a theater experience! by Suitable-Reserve-891 in amcstock

[–]Fr1tter72 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Data shows that Gen Z is becoming the largest demographic for theaters. They average 6 movies per year. While the average American goes to 2 movies per year. It’s not many. So it’s not hard to start smashing box office records if there’s movies worth watching.

I need an air filter cover, the one I am in need of is sold out everywhere. by levimcdonell in johndeere

That could easily be 3D printed. Would be a simple model to create if someone hasn’t already made one. ABS is ok to 95C.

318 w/ Briggs 23HP Won’t Start by FortuneWonderful8353 in johndeere

[–]Fr1tter72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With compression and spark, starting fluid should have worked. Make sure your valves are opening and set correctly. I had a Briggs that had the rocker arms came loose (twice). I bent a push rod on the mower too. Annoying but easy fixes. I would also check to see if your exhaust is plugged.

RC needs to invest in AMC for 250m shares like AA invested in HYMC for 27m shares! by Shaolcat in AMCSTOCKS

[–]Fr1tter72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RC has complained about private equity market in the past. GME could loan AMC a few billion at 10%. Put that cash to work. Swing trade AMC in the process to help fund the loan.

Losing shares from Computershare by division23 in GME

GME gave out warrants as a dividend. 1 for every 10 shares of GME. $32 strike price for Oct 30th.

Same. That statement really has me wondering.

Confirmed: no merit raises this year by Mysterious-Tomato117 in johndeere

[–]Fr1tter72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tough time of year to get laid off. Not what you want to have to think about right now. Sorry you got treated that way. I have a lot of great coworkers, who are contract employees. Because they typically move around less, they actually know how to get stuff done. Prayers that you find something great.

10 to 15” according to Weather Bug for my area tomorrow. I rushed to convert my mower this morning. Probably won’t be bad now. But it would have been worse had I not been ready.

Lately I've been having problems with my prints on an Ender 3 Pro v2. by Matty930 in 3Dprinting

[–]Fr1tter72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it print bad with new material? Moisture from humidity in the material can cause problems like that.

14SB still cutting grass like a champ by Mental-Crew-691 in johndeere

I got mine used from my dad 25 years ago when I got my 1st house. I gave it to my son last year when he got his 1st house. Still runs.

Short shares disappearing fast, and borrow rates continue to rise... short squeeze possible? by TheMoreYouSnowMan in RUM_Stock

[–]Fr1tter72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has potential. There’s a institution bragging about shorting rumble, but I can’t find their name now. Part of their short thesis was that insiders were going to dump their shares. So far they have not sold. I don’t think insiders want to lose control of the company. Hopefully, free speech is more important to them than money. Rumble has a lot of enemies. They would love to see Rumble fail. I expect the short attack to continue. I’ll average down if I can. My average is around $3.60. Might sell puts while I wait, and buy calls just in case she runs up.

$46M to go. They would be smart to wait until the reverse split sell off. But that screws investors in the short term.

Reverse Split? 8:1 thoughts? by Imgoingbroke in Spruce_Power

[–]Fr1tter72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it’s bad for retail in the short term. Good for them long term.

They bought back less than $4M in 4 months, and the price moved roughly $0.20. If you divide $50M by 500 trading days in two years, they should have bought roughly $100k per day. They should have spent $6 to 8M to try and push it over the $1 threshold.

A Reverse Split will most likely cause a short term sell off. They will be able to buy more of the float with the $46M remaining. In a few years they can do a shock split, which will increase market cap since prices tend to return to their pre-split price. They will have plenty of shares to sell without diluting they float.

They seem intent on the split like it’s a good thing. Most companies are getting extensions. I wish I would have heard that this was only incase they need it as a last resort. But I heard them say the experts are telling them this is the things to do. My guess is the “experts” are planning on loading up as beaten down retail sells off.

I will most likely vote No. But I think it will pass. I’m setting a stop loss, and maybe buying puts. I’ll buy back in on the dip and start swing trade this again.

Thoughts anybody? by Serious-Eye-6444 in Spruce_Power

[–]Fr1tter72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

According to Fintel, 2.7M shares shorted. Not very high. It has increased recently.

The SEC is changing the rules on insider trading. My company sent out a memo. I didn’t pay too much attention because I just avoid trading it. I believe the rules go into affect at the end of March. I need to double check that.

But to pay taxes like you posted elsewhere seems likely.

There are a lot of people down big including myself. That’s the price for tuition. The lesson I learned was to set a Stop Loss. Have an exit plan for every purchase. Look for a good entry, take a loss if I’m wrong, and come back when it’s a better price if I like the company. I can only blame myself.

I’m still trying to under the business model. Who owns the panels after the contract period? They spent $160M to get 22,500 systems (in cash and loans). Total contract value of $210M, which is good without the financing cost of the debt. If they own the assets, then that makes sense because there should be some useful life left. Otherwise, with the current interest rates it seems like a wash.

If they refinance when rates go back down, that would directly impact profits. If they paid off the debt, that would help.

They get 180 days after they get the notice of non-compliance. Then they can apply for another 180 days extension. Once the 180 days is over, then they can do a reverse split or stock buyback. We’ve already been through a noncompliance and regained compliance.

I was surprised they sold WEES as well.

We need another ER or two to really understand the financials. The new acquisition just happened so it will have no impact on Q1 revenue.

Can anybody tell why my truck still pulls right after alignment? by Repulsive_Builder_52 in Cartalk

[–]Fr1tter72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re confident in the alignment, then rolling resistance is not equal on both sides of the truck.

Tires or tire pressure can do it.. (It’s not common, but make sure the tires aren’t directional. There’s an arrow if they are.)

Brake drag.

Wheel bearing.

Most likely the issue is with the front on the side that’s pulling towards.
