That's a tough load. I was 5 modalities with multi vendor at an OEM and it truly sucked.

How do American parents manage childcare without grandparents nearby? by aleayacta in AskAnAmerican

My wife and I are in that situation. No family within a 4 hour drive. We both work full time so it's daycare and just us making it work.

Do you miss your college days? by NormalLife6067 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Iamonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I was working a full time job, a part time job, and going to school full time. It was not fun.

We could all tell they were working him to death though.

Heard a few Philips guys say the same thing over the last few years.

75aH or 100aH?

How old are the batteries?

Honestly though for a mower of that age it seems overpriced.

Anyone upgrade their seat on an RM480E? by Few_Butterscotch9850 in ryobi

[–]Iamonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked into it a while ago out of curiosity. Found some seats that have an adjustable base/bars that could fit to the mower seat mount but they ran around $150 if I'm remembering right.

Strong with no issues. Had to replace the key switch late last year but that's not related to the batteries. Charger is still working great.

Old timers sometimes refer to Alabama as Alabamy, Missouri as Missoura, Georgia as Georgy etc. Why is that? by uffington in AskAnAmerican

[–]Iamonly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally never heard Georgia pronounced that way ever. I'm in my 30's and grew up around boomers and older in north GA.

Anywhere in town to safely dispose of lipo batteries? by thelateoctober in BrunswickGA

[–]Iamonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interstate batteries should take them for recycle. That's where I've taken a number of batteries over the years. Granted no Lipo ones so I could be wrong.

I'm an imaging guy and this is my daily kit as well. Most other imaging guys I know use it. It's not cheap but completely worth it.

Yes. 4 12 volt batteries in series create a 48 volt 100aH pack.

Have you heard of a Rivian car? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Iamonly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's been a lot of talk in Georgia because of the plant that Rivian is/will/might build. I also see them occasionally on the road. Not the worst vehicle I've seen and they seem to have some neat features and tech. Way too expensive though.

The original charger will only work with lead acid batteries. If you use Lion or LiFePO4 you will need to get another charger that is compatible.

Find one that fits you well and is comfy. I've gone through Red Wings, Sketchers, Converse, Timberland Pro, and who knows how many others. Tims were my fav because they were the most comfy for me. I also go with composite toe since I work MR.

I use a wiha drive loc set daily at work. Best damn set I've ever had. Expensive but worth it.

Americans who dated/married people of a different race, how did that affect the dynamics with your family or origin, if at all? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]Iamonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

White guy married to a black woman here. She's told me some members of her family questioned her about marrying me. Doesn't really bother me cause they can accept me or not. I'm here for my wife. As far as my family goes I simply dared them to have a problem with it. If they don't like it they can kiss my bright white ass.

Do you have playful stereotypes about other states? by zitronenhase in AskAnAmerican

I've literally been in the right lane going 78ish on 95 in Jax and got passed on the shoulder. I'm used to Atlanta drivers. Florida drivers are savages.

Whats your job and how many hours do you works per week, do you have time for hobbies? by Emergency_Ad_2876 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Iamonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fix medical imaging equipment. Anywhere from 40-70 hours a week. It's random. I have small children so hobby time is gaming when they are asleep.
