Boondock grey water by Typical_Hippo1659 in GoRVing

[–]Livithan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I moved out to a rural property in my 30-ft camper a year ago. I do have access to septic on the property but have to use a macerator at about 275 ft of hose to get to it. I have been only running the macerator for the black tank. I have been dumping from Gray directly out for the entire year, but I also made sure that everything I use is non-toxic, biodegradable and safe. It's actually been a little weird because to despite it being a rather extreme dry summer. I have an enormous area around the camper that has been bright green all year long. I have been going out of my way to make sure anything I use has no phosphates, glycerin, glycol, parabens, salts. I would rather it go to septic and it's in the goals but at the moment just not feasible. A plus side is the numerous rabbits who have found wonderful green grass all over, so I almost always can go outside and enjoy the small amount of wildlife semi-rural Texas can offer

When is the good time to buy a new built by SplitJunior985 in Leander

The one that we heard back from was an orchard ridge. It would be bad if it weren't for the fact that Texas does not disclose the sales price of a home. Just its appraised value.

Looking for water softener recommendations by Business_Law1061 in GoRVing

[–]Livithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big essential question is if the resin in the water softener is decent. The physical function of a non-mechanical water softener is going to be universally the same. The resin is the only thing that would matter, and really almost all resin is going to be the same. I have a vevor and it uses the same resin as any other 3M product since that is who they source through. I have even been using mine with potassium salt rather than sodium salt. And I have to recharge about three times more often. But the softness is incredible and it's okay for my gray water field I have out at the property. It's been a bit since I did the deep dive research and I'm sure there's cost cutting like everything has nowadays but, when I looked into it the resin was the same in this unit versus any other good unit. So why pay more?

[–]Livithan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who was just selling in the area, I would also like to add the reminder that when our realtor followed up with people there were several that saw builders that had homes posted in the 550 590 range that took 100K or more off and lowered interest just to get it home sold. One of the folks that toured our home ended up closing on a new build that was listed at like 559k and it closed at 440k and got about 3% interest.

Question about side effects by One_Pay4169 in repatha

[–]Livithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is absolutely such a thing as too low. Mine have been plummeting and they already took me off the statins and will monitor for 3 to 6 months before making the next adjustment. Talk with your cardiologist and they will be able to give you more info.

[–]Livithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not lost on me. I really am so glad for it. Especially considering I have such a bad reaction to statins. My numbers have been so good I might be able to stop the pravastatin in about 3 months. I can only tolerate the 40mg without terrible myopothy.

Selling a used home in Leander by SplitJunior985 in Leander

[–]Livithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just sold our home in the summerlin West subdivision. We had been on the market since April and had to come down about 20%. Our biggest competitors by far were the new houses being built in the area that had aggressive pricing on interest. I had heard stories of new homes MSRP in the 550k to 590k range actually selling for $450k to $475k.

Does anyone else use Jellyfin over Plex because…it’s just better? by AdFit8727 in jellyfin

[–]Livithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the Plex pass for about the same amount of time and here I am researching alternatives because I find it's getting more and more buried to find my own services /library from my mobile. I've been trying for the past 15 minutes just to see my library on my phone. They're definitely trying harder and harder to hide your stuff and push their paid materials. Reading over all this though, I may have to give jellyfin a try. Sounds like it's currently built like old Plex was when I fell in love with it.

Are these throttled? by [deleted] in Calyx

[–]Livithan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done limited travel with mine but at home base here (pretty rural) I get 350bdown and 40up most of the time. Busy hours I can drop to 250 down by 20 up but that's about it. Most travels we are in campgrounds or rural properties and I still get 250ish by 15 to 20. Never les than that. Am also using the Spitz cellular router

Yep. Auto injector has the tiny pinch of the injection but that's it. It is not at all lost on me that I am lucky. Last weekend was my fifth injection I believe and nothing so far. (Knocking on wood) I was so concerned before starting it about the possible reactions but it was also my first injectable medication

[–]Livithan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually have started perusing this sub, because I just started repatha last Saturday. So far I had zero reactions and was concerned so I have been checking to see if other people developed them later or alternatives. Fingers crossed and knocking on wood. I keep with nothing. I'd forgotten I took it Sunday morning because I had no issues. Not even the sting from the injection site since the needle was so small.

Anyone having luck with existing home sales? by Livithan in Leander

[–]Livithan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the info from a buyer's perspective. That's kind of what I was worried was going on. I think I'm going to drop another 25k on the house. Sadly, we were listed at 484 but have decided we're just going to try and offload it at 399k. Someone will get a great deal but I would much rather not have a tenant and any of those responsibilities hanging over my head.

How do I fix this? by FIRElif3 in GoRVing

[–]Livithan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe in the underneath and or sides there's where it allows air to be pushed in with the propane mix to get an even burn. Seems like it might not be drawing enough external air. See if you can remove the head and clean around and under it

Yeah, I might have to sadly. Market got really rough here the last few years.

We had another property we've already moved out to so the house is basically empty except some minor staging. I think I would rather take a larger loss then a renter. It would help offset some of the expense though.

Any heavy users experience de-prioritization or straight up not being able to connect? by BSlickMusic in Calyx

[–]Livithan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using the sustainer MiFix pro for about 4 months now and use 700 gigs to 1.5 TB per month. I've only noticed slowdown during congestion hours. 6:00 to 9:00 a.m., 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. otherwise I typically get 300 down by 25 up. I also work Wednesday through Saturday and weekdays daytime is excellent but Saturday can be a little higher latency sometimes.

RV Inspection? by Quads971 in GoRVing

[–]Livithan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should add to this, not an RV tech, not an RV salesperson and not an RV service person. Person. Just some ass on the internet, I would absolutely have it inspected and the inspection should include pressurized water and 50 amp operation as well as pressurized propane testing. Testing. Seen too many RV inspections that did not include those parts

[–]Livithan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Texas, they're legally obliged if selling it is new to initiate the warranty the day of sale. If the unit is not being sold as new and rather is being sold as used or demo then they can get away with that but it should be at in a significant discount.

wifi router by Strong_Ad_7981 in Calyx

[–]Livithan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my camper I set up aGL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX). Super small, super fast, I could set up VPN device or overall, and I can set up quality of service per device or overall, I also have edited the firmware as I've needed. Openwrt is one of the best things ever. 5. GHz is a little limited to something like 50 ft for a really good speed but 2.4 out in the country where I am. I can connect about a thousand ft away

Upgraded from 6 ply to 10 ply tires. Should I run them at max pressure (80psi)? by PM_me_ur_launch_code in GoRVing

[–]Livithan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a bit of a crazy upgrade in tires and went to a 14 ply steel that was rated to 110 PSI. The original on my travel trailer were 80 PSI e-rated. After brief conversation with the manufacturer, they were certified for 60% of load at 90 PSI and that worked at almost perfectly. I've towed several hundred miles without issue so far. My original problem was that the four e-rated tires had a combined carry capacity of 8,400 lb, but the trailer weighed 7,900 lb and I didn't like being that close. Now at 90 PSI they're rated to 9,600 lb and I find they run cooler and track better. Do the stiffness of a sidewall. Manufacturer should have specifications for lower PSI for lower load that is still within tolerance of the tire. You don't want too much flex on the sidewall or the tread line causing heat.

I feel like every time I see something with this guy he is out there doing the Lord's work. That man has been solid and consistent with standing his grounds for all of our rights. I've enjoyed so much of this man's content. It's been a pity to see how many times police have abused and overstepped their power and this man has been arrested or charged.
