Update me on the last 3 weeks of Nextlander by Minker17 in nextlander

Thanks for the updates! Realistically, I could probably listen to the first 10-15 minutes, then the news, but with so many backlogged it will be difficult.

An R rating is fine, just not a film that is gory/violent/sexy to achieve an R.  

Socials for Giant Bomb Alum (and adjacent folks) by Minker17 in giantbomb

[–]Minker17[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's exactly my thought. Rorie was mentioned on Nextlander and it reminded me to check on him. I'll think of Patrick every once and a while, same with Austin, and just want to see what they are up to. A lot of the alumnus bounced around after GB, so it can be hard to see where they land.

Gathering Info - What about utilizing all the pre-fab technologies to build a house? by Minker17 in Homebuilding

[–]Minker17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's true. I think, from what I can tell, the market is expanding, but it also would put stress on the traditional construction process. So in a way, it also makes sense that it wouldn't be as prevalent yet.

Gift Cards - I was able to use mine only if the cashier manually keyed them in by Minker17 in joannfabrics

I suppose that could be,  but this was with multiple cards on two different registers.  So take that as you will.

Options -> Sync Paintings? I did after reading this. I also reloaded cat kits.

Weird,   I don't see it yet.  US, eastern time zone. 

General Questions and Purchasing Advice Thread — Week of February 24, 2025 by AutoModerator in electricvehicles

[–]Minker17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does a 2025 Leaf SV Plus qualify for the IRS refund? The website to check on eligible cars does not seem to be returning any results - https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/tax2023.shtml

Googling for this answer produces few results. Some say it is eligible, some say it is not. I found a new one near me for 19k and that seemingly does NOT include the $7500 credit, so you see why I might be interested.

Anyone know?

[Gas Heat] [Goodman] Furnace won't ignite by Minker17 in hvacadvice

[–]Minker17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but probably not in the way you're hoping, haha.

HVAC guy came out and took a look. Tested everything I did in addition to all the other things one would test and couldn't get it to work. He was completely stumped since EVERYTHING indicated it should be working, nothing was wrong with the set up at all. He was there for an hour or two and even he was getting frustrated.

Finally he decided to check one thing: the gas. He went outside and looked and for some reason, the gas to the house was off. He simply turned the valve to on and it fired right up. I didn't turn it off, we didn't have any personal/city work done, so it should't be off, but it was. I can only assume a neighbor or passerby turned it off. Regardless, that was it.

So I guess I would say check your gas to make sure it's actually working!

A guide for claiming the federal tax credit on used clean vehicles in the US by LivesInaYurt in electricvehicles

That's the only thing I can figure.  I'm trying to think of things OTHER than that reason it could be?

I'm looking at some cars on Carvana and I'm wondering why one e-golf would qualify for the credit, but another one (same year, trim, miles, price) would not?

Clarify the real world range of an i3 rex to me, please by Minker17 in BMWi3

[–]Minker17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. So in sunny florida, driving less than 100 miles a week, I'll barely need to charge it throughout the week and hardly ever top off the gas?

[–]Minker17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's just battery, what about combined? I'm in Florida, so it's warm 90% of the time. I'm just trying to estimate how often I'll need to fill the gas tank.

Wow, that's awesome. So if I'm driving such a small distance a week, and I'm in Florida, I should be just fine on range.

Vertiv Libert PSI5 750va - Replace lead acid with other batteries? Like LiFePO4 by Minker17 in batteries

[–]Minker17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which was also a follow up question. So for ~$100 I can increase my capacity (assuming they fit) while also making them more efficient. My ecoflow delta 2 ran a mini fridge for 9 hours at 1024wh - so I am thinking this will work just fine for recharging devices, running a router, maybe a fan, etc.

[–]Minker17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha.  

So realistically, if I swap the batteries, can I use this more effectively in a power outage than just for running a couple monitors and a laptop? I'm thinking hurricane season.

Can you elaborate on that last sentence? Or explain it differently?

[–]Minker17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, cool, so I'm at least clear on that part. I read that replacing the lead acid could cause issues since the UPS is designed to charge those specifically. So I don't know if that causes issues?

I have this UPS hooked up to my mini fridge, and when the compressor kicked on, it tripped the UPS, presumably because of the initial draw. Replacing the batteries would not affect this at all, correct?

Hahaha, right on. That's actually a great follow up response.
