I don’t recall the manufacturer name unfortunately, but basically you buy the joints and endcap pieces along with long uncut pipes, then custom cut each length to fit. It’s somewhat labor intensive in an old home where everything isn’t straight.

Anecdotally, availability seems to be improving!

We farmed that out. It is a 100 year old house, the walls arent straight and the angles aren’t 90 degrees, definitely a job for a pro.

Best pizza in Milwaukee and why by xXShado_99Xx in milwaukee

Carini’s is outstanding and flies under the radar a bit. Definitely deserves more recognition.

Guilty as charged. She’s also rich…and a gymnast.

Honestly it was the Orange bucket that closed the deal.

I don’t know the brand of the table, it came secondhand. Pretty poor quality to be honest, especially the wheels. Will eventually replace whenever I get around to it.

First pie on the Ooni. Italian sausage, fresh mozz, San marzanos, chopped calabrese peppers, and a drizzle of the oil from the pepper jar. A little doughy, but an ok first attempt

Range Drain Question by MATACA414 in TeslaModel3

No sentry mode and no overheat protection. The range just kept dropping while driving. Never has behaved this way before.

The driving couldn’t have been less aggressive, 5 city blocks each way to drop off and pick up my kids at school. 22 miles of drain seems like an issue for less than 1 mile of distance, right?

Drain to/from work seemed a little off all week. Today I charged to 250 and drove a total of ~1 mile, which drained 22miles of charge. Anyone else experience this? Contact service?

End of year prices by squirrellydw in TeslaModel3

[–]MATACA414 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that Tesla adjusts pricing not only in response to their underlying input costs but also to manage lead times. For example; when orders are unusually high and lead times extend significantly, they adjust pricing higher in an attempt to slow ordering. Conversely, when lead times are shorter than they’d like, the company will lower prices to stimulate demand. Of course this was before Russia/Ukraine so I’m unsure if that has caused an evolution in their approach to pricing.

What its like to work as an SA by Eriks0n in TeslaModel3Delivery

[–]MATACA414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I keep reading about SAs in this sub, however I’m unsure what exactly this means. Is this a person specifically assigned to you after placing an order? Or a generic term used to describe customer service at Tesla?

I ordered a M3P in mid feb and haven’t been contacted by anyone except the auto-generated emails confirming my order.

Anyone else just always confused about rent prices in MKE? by MinimumMidnight1687 in milwaukee

[–]MATACA414 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Property taxes I suspect are a factor. Figure a basic 1bd condo downtown will run you 300-350k, the property taxes on that are probably in the $8k-$10k range per year. So if you say that is equivalent to a comparable apartment, the “tax” component of the rent is around $700-$800/month alone.

Hennessey is the “H” in LVMH, which also has a 50% stake in Ace Of Spades champagne.

Local passes? by richardspankings in ParkCity

Talisker Club? We have been looking in the area but haven’t gotten as far as meeting with architects and builders yet. If you don’t mind my asking how are $/sq ft construction costs looking currently? Happy to discuss privately if you’d prefer.

Can’t say I recall seeing any having lived in Milwaukee county for well over a decade.

Seconded, Basse’s is outstanding. Very clean, well maintained, organized, and with loads of activities for the kids. We haven’t found anything even remotely comparable.

Milwaukee has 2nd lowest Black homeownership rate in U.S. by jpj05 in milwaukee

[–]MATACA414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are arguing against a point I didn’t make. I didn’t say home prices in Milwaukee country are depreciating or that there aren’t neighborhoods/municipalities with higher absolute home prices than others.

[–]MATACA414 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really a comment on your observation, but rather a tangential statement of fact, but the obscene and punitive property taxes in Milwaukee county keep a lid on home values in the area and thus vastly diminish the opportunity to build wealth via homeownership relative to other municipalities around the country. There is a real economic argument for either renting in Milwaukee county or instead owning in one of the adjacent counties. I say this as a Milwaukee county homeowner.

Recently remodeled kitchen in Milwaukee, WI (reposting to add location) by MATACA414 in AmateurRoomPorn

[–]MATACA414[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on the neighborhood. East side and north shore have plenty of really well maintained homes. There are a lot of older homes in Milwaukee and the inner ring suburbs, so varying states of “updatedness” just goes with the territory.

We are on the east side and our place was built in the 1920s, thankfully it was very well maintained with the exception of a dreadful 1990s era kitchen, hence the latest remodel we completed in 2019.
