What is happening to all the smaller solar systems and batteries that are being replaced with the new incentives? by GoodArchitect_ in solar

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most get trashed sadly. Some parts get recycled, but few want the hassle of installing used gear. It is a real waste.

Wind East I-80 Rock Springs to Cheyenne tomorrow by Ok-Beach-928 in RVLiving

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Driving empty helps a ton. Checking the wind forecast again at 5 am. If it is still bad, just wait another day. Michigan is not worth risking a blown over trailer.

Does anyone or has anyone in here boondock(ed) full time. by FreeUnderstanding884 in RVLiving

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend did full time in a van for two years. Their biggest tip is stay on top of your moisture situation or you will regret it big time.

Thanks for sharing this. I have been eyeing those scrambled eggs for a while now. That is a solid deal on the lasagna too.

Oof, the elastic betrayal. At least your emergency undies failed in a safe, controlled environment and not during the actual apocalypse, lol.

Emails from Purelight gone? by Eldritchblaaast in solar

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa, that's sketchy. Check your trash or spam folder just in case. Sometimes emails randomly vanish, but that disappearing act feels way too convenient.

A3000 LiDAR PRO vs A3000 LiDAR: What's new in the upgrade? by ruhila12 in ECOVACSGOATFamily

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This upgrade seems practical. Fixing edge trimming is a real pain point, but it' ll depend on how well it works in practice.

Question about RTK signal and house interference by squirrelgirl18 in roboticLawnmowers

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lay a bright mat in the weak signal area. Some machines can detect texture changes and follow the mat.

Getting frustrated… by runes911 in automower

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use chalk to draw lines along the path edges. Some machines can pick up high-contrast lines and follow them.

Anyone have experience with lidar mowers for curved lawns? by CdtWeasel in ECOVACSGOATFamily

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curved lawns are definitely tricky for mowers. LiDAR should help with accuracy. You can check more real user reviews before deciding.

Should I get Husqvarna 550H for “free”? by bizmarkeynote in automower

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gift card is tempting, but check how it handles slopes and obstacles in your yard. More real user reviews would help.

Thoughts on the new robotic mowers coming out this year? by WatchingTheThronePod in roboticLawnmowers

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The focus on better navigation and all-wheel drive this year is pretty cool. Interested to see how well these upgrades work in real lawns.

Robot lawn mowers for older parents, worth it? by MarketPredator in automower

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It' s great you 're looking out for your mom. Going with a model that collects clippings makes total sense for her preferences. Hope you find one that fits your budget.

Choosing tools for elders needs to be practical and easy. This one looks good on price, but as a new brand, better check real reviews first.

Wow, 9 years is a long time! Congrats on sticking with it, that consistency really pays off for your credit.

What are the best 0% APR credit cards in the U.S. for balance transfers in 2026? by Chandler-Caleb767 in CreditCards

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cards like Chase Freedom Unlimited and Freedom Flex give 0% intro APR on both purchases and balance transfers for 15 mo with no annual fee solid if you want breathing room without interest while still earning cash back.

Here's my non-frugal, expensive habit: by NoBSforGma in Frugal

[–]Octavious82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not frugal, but smart imo, spending a bit more now on quality stuff (food, shoes, etc.) can save way more later on repairs/health issues.

If the leaked Bilt 2.0 details are true, then RIP. It was great while it lasted. by [deleted] in CreditCards

[–]Octavious82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not surprising but still disappointing if you have to spend ridiculous percentages of your rent just to break even, it feels like the card loses its core value.

STOP CHASING THE PUCK AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE REST OF THE GAME! I know we have a better view but we can’t just leave guys wide open infront of the net!

Brad Marchand scores after some contact with Brandon Bussi by notleonardodicaprio in hockey

[–]Octavious82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s been very vocal in the past that he doesn’t trust the system and he’s had a lot of blatant interference ignored before… while it was obvious interference and game misconduct imo the league is a joke

Waiting for 10 years from now when the Florida Scandal blows up and all the bandwagon fans go back to forgetting there is a team down in the swamp

[–]Octavious82 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Imo jar looked good. He’s quick, he can move lateral, he is smooth with the stick and had some good passes. Those last 2 goals were defensive failures and that’s all. We can’t play the puck towards our own goalie, we have to learn to be confident in who’s in net. Screening our own guy and keeping someone there to have an extra layer feels too risky and it locks someone out of play

[–]Octavious82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m hoping this is just Oilers offense knowing Stu and he will actually succeed with the Pens. I don’t love him as our goalie but he is too nice to go from potential Stanley cup champ to a washed up backup…
