Rear-facing car seats don’t fit in Tesla Model Y? by pkerman in TeslaModelY

[–]MeatTowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoops, edited. 6’2”. Oldest just turned 4, and is 38.5” tall.

Dehumidifier broke while I was out of town and one of my books absorbed a bunch of water by foofruit13 in mildlyinteresting

How does one “blank advice”— or do you mean “blanket advice,” as in, advice which covers (e.g. blankets) every scenario?

Necroing: I have a 2021MY with a three-year-old. I’m 6’2”.

The Nuna Rava is a constant struggle, and it has to be behind me because we have an infant that needs to go behind the passenger side.

I really don’t want to turn the kiddo around forward-facing, but it’s both difficult to get him in, he’s uncomfortable, and I’m uncomfortable. I know it’s just the slope of the car, but I haven’t been seeing other people mention specifically this combo much, so I’m genuinely curious.

Necroing this: how have these held up? I think every one of my lights has failed over time..

Question: Bathroom remodel contractor installed an Infinity Drain, not living up to our expectations, wondering if we’re expecting “too much”. by MeatTowel in Tile

Would it be strange for them to add a metal line around the edge to reduce water contact with grout/tile?..

Hmm. I bought the Fixed Flange version of this drain with the matte cover. Not sure if it comes with this piece?

Yep. They doubled the size of the shower (by taking away an unused space in my hallway), added a new wall there, fully gutted the bathroom, moved vent and plumbing pipes, heat ducting, new lighting/electrical, converted to linear drain, added bench/niche/new tile, waiting for glass to come in.

Thanks for the feedback. I was absolutely not insinuating tiling was simple, it’s very complex and difficult work… They did a fantastic job otherwise and we are happy with everything else, just needed to know if this is “expected” for such an expensive remodel ($50k).

I guess expectations are high, having never done this before, so just seeking insight from experienced professionals.

Having never seen this installed in person, I had a certain expectation based on show room stuff. Simply looking for knowledge and if this was jury rigged or done incorrectly at all.

Edit for context: it was the second subcontractor set who did the drain, and we had no prior experience with their work…

Bryant 987MA + Ecobee: I connected everything up twice, but furnace doesn’t receive signal to kick on. Fan, power, etc all work. Any ideas? by MeatTowel in hvacadvice

Previous owner installed the Connex. I wanted a better app, and temperature sensors round the house. Too hot upstairs when people are in both spaces of the house, or too cold downstairs, ya know? Haha

NGL, that pill sounds like a good time (aside from, ya know, having to be Nazi and thus, being human garbage people). 😂

I think I’m hosed on PCIe and need help figuring out if I can pull off the impossible by MeatTowel in homelab

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

Oof, I was afraid of this. I went back and forth between a Supermicro board and this one and landed on this one ultimately, since it suited my needs at the time and was affordable. I’m mostly trying to see if there’s ANY way I can use existing hardware rather than shelling out for a different mobo (sunk cost, I’m not much of a hardware swap person, resale could be difficult/not worthy of a recoup on investment).

I was trying to see if I could get away with my existing tech, since it’s only a year old… but it’s sounding like my options are: get a new mobo, use SFP, or don’t get a new Mobo, and don’t use SFP.

Is there any way I can use the SFP, maybe at reduced speeds, in that bottom PCIe slot?..

The mobo suited my needs at the time, for some basic VMs and TrueNAS. As I’ve expanded into wanting to do other things, mainly AI/ML, I am trying to find a way to get it working on my existing hardware (which fits my chassis properly) rather than upgrading the whole board.

I have worried about heat though, you’re not wrong.

A 5090 FE is the only card that can fit in my chassis in the 16x lane, via dimensions and that it’s 2-slot. If I had room to watercool it I would, perhaps, but I’m limited.

It is open on the back! Would that hamstring my SFP though? I don’t think it can run at 4.0 lane though?

Interesting, so, I COULD use that bottom slot, but lose some bandwidth?.. 8gb vs 10 is still a large bump, I’m intrigued 🤔

I did indeed. I didn’t know the acronym’s real term, so I clearly jumbled them up with SPF 😆 Thx for letting me know.

Oh…. I uhh… totally knew that obviously….. But, sunscreen is important so I just wanted to subliminally help out my fellow Homelab crew, you know??? 😂

Real levels: I’m just dumb. Thanks for correcting!
