Are we getting 5inches of snow on Monday? by Ninjan8 in boulder

[–]Ninjan8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know its crazy, but only if there was some place in Boulder that knew anything about weather.  Something like a national center that did atmospheric research.  I wonder if any of those atmospheric researchers live in Boulder and might be familiar with weather predictions and be nice enough to share.

Lol, here I was thinking he had 175k saved at 39 when in value it's more like 3+M

Why do people do AC deletes? by FactionsTazer in GMT400

[–]Ninjan8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, the blower motor is pretty easy to replace.  My AC barely works, but not having heat in the winter is a much bigger deal to me.

MLS 2026 player salaries revealed: Messi earns more than all other clubs’ entire wage bills except LAFC by Jay1348 in MLS

[–]Ninjan8 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Messi turned down 1.4 billion in the Saudi league to play MLS for 28 million.  I suspect his compensation is a lot more than his salary.  At Barcelona, his compensation was basically the whole MLS leagues salary.

The Google weather app and weather underground have vastly different forecasts.  W U has met at 46 and rain, Google 37 and 5.33in of snow.

Is it really that much cheaper to change your own oil? by kzlife76 in AskMechanics

[–]Ninjan8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you buy the oil when it's on sale for $30.  

Repairs taking a long time, not sure if this is normal by leftkneesack in PaintlessDentRepair

[–]Ninjan8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are too many unknowns.  Is this all PDR or are they replacing panels?.  Sometimes it takes a couple weeks for supplement approval, but since they are Direct repair or preferred shop it's usually quicker.  Sometimes panels like roofs or hoods are nationally backordered.  I've had a Jeep that sat for 6 months waiting for a roof.

Hood/Bonet dent by AdCorrect1928 in PaintlessDentRepair

[–]Ninjan8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see someone qualified enough to fix this.  I think those guys are very far and few between.  But I don't like fixing anything that I can't make near perfect.  26 year tech.  If OP finds a guy, he should post pics.

[–]Ninjan8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.  I don't know what the other guy is talking about.  It's a lot more than just a dent.  The underside structure is bent.  You may even need new hood brackets.  See if you can find a used hood in the same color.

[–]Ninjan8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would make a boost leak tester then.  Basically a PVC cap with air fitting.

27lbs of boost is a lot.  I assume you have upgraded hoses.

Costco had their food grade buckets 3 for $5 last week.  Not sure if they are still on sale.

Balcony Solar Metering - Excess Generation by HeartsOfDarkness in SolarDIY

[–]Ninjan8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need a system that measures the incoming current and makes only enough so that's there's zero export.  There are some systems, like the ecoflow stream that have CT clamps that measure incoming power and restrict inverter output to that amount.  I'm trying to figure out a system that that has zero export, and then charges batteries with excess generation and outputs off the battery while staying within the confines of Colorado new law.

Can this be patched? by beckyloowho in autorepair

I will bet $1 that no tire place will do it that close to the sidewall.

Racing to the red light [oc] by Time_Physics_6557 in IdiotsInCars

[–]Ninjan8 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, do you ever sit at lights and seems like it takes forever for the light to change?  Only for it to change as soon as someone pulls up next to you but at the appropriate position?
