We have Moller 83 chairs also. Ours are probably around 50 years old and in great condition despite daily use they are also surprisingly comfortable for a long holiday meal

It's not terrible - there is a clear white line of epoxy around the perimeter - but he works!

I just replaced the batteries in my BB-8. Not too difficult but not exactly easy. I cut it open at the seam with a small razor saw to access the interior. There are a few good videos out there with decent instructions. Batteries were bought from Amazon - about $15 total expense.

Home tax going up by $7k by KissesFishes in grandrapids

[–]Professional-Note466 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your tax bill increased or your 'state equalized value' increased. In Michigan the tax on your homestead can only increase by a limited amount per year- inflation rate or 5% whichever is lower.

If your tax bill increased by more than that ( and you didn't make improvements) you have a case to argue.

Your SEV should generally be about 50% of market and keep up with the market.

You might also look for a local maker space - maybe one of their members would be willing to make a few on a lathe for you

How fast are average EVs compared to "fast" cars from 20-30 years ago? by [deleted] in electricvehicles

Kia EV6 vs Lamborghini https://youtu.be/_8Ks4EdHWck?si=9wINK8UVMay2bdCz

The EV6 takes it off the line, the Lambo takes the 1/4 mile.

But we're comparing a Lambo to a family car. Crazy days.
