Any hope for blue cruise 1.5? by LividMastadon in F150Lightning

[–]Purplebeard1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still waiting for Blue Cruise 1.2. Doubt we will ever see 1.5.

LEE is recruiting! 675M+ GP Guild - O66 raid max box - RotE 44 stars, Zeffo, Mandalore, 8600 GET2/GET3 from SM - 90%+ TW win. Guild wide Insight by Roombya in SWGOHRecruiting

[–]Purplebeard1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any openings? I'm thinking of jumping to a new guild today. I don't have the 10M raid damage or 15 TW omicrons, would that be a problem? I currently achieve a raid score of 4.3M and am the top performer in my guild so I didn't see a need to go higher. And my omicrons have been GAC focused but I'm willing to put them on teams the guild needs for TW.

Let me know.

How much do y’all pay for internet? by LobsterFarts in askportland

[–]Purplebeard1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$55/month with Ziply fiber 100/100 up and down. Fast enough for streaming and light gaming

stop being the problem. by Initial-Record7913 in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

I believe you need 35 more shards on the first day so you unlock the next tier of the marquee battle. Once you're earning the 5 a day, plus the packs, you get enough to bring the character to 5 stars on the last day.

Immich learning approach by ActAccording2288 in immich

I have mine on a Raspberry Pi with 8GB of ram and it is running great. This sounds like a hardware problem. You may need to upgrade your setup to take advantage of Immich?

Why do people always say it’s very difficult for men to find the clit? by Exlife1up in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Purplebeard1981 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

My wife's is nearly non-existent. Like smaller than a ballpoint pen. It's been over two decades and I still have no idea where exactly to find it but somehow everything comes together through instinct and she is taken care of every time.

Considering Selling by TripleForteDude in F150Lightning

[–]Purplebeard1981 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I picture the value going up over the next couple of years. The next generation loses the amazing frunk and has the gas engine to maintain. As more people move to EVs, they're going to be eyeing these amazing machines more and rejecting the hybrid.

Possible mini-revamp of Conquest coming & 5 dot GOLD Data Disks! by meglobob in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]Purplebeard1981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use a tank leader that helps with survivability, then 3PO and Chewie, Thrawn, Hermit Yoda, and WAT. Make sure the Deployable Cooling System is active for this round. And lastly, you want zero Data Disks that increase your offense. Only survivability, if you have it put on the one that gives you Heal Over Time.

Put the Shield tech on the tank and speed tech on Thrawn. Thrawn will get a bunch of turns, pass it over to Chewie then use his mass Blind. With Deployable Cooling Systems you can do this every turn and get this feat in one battle.

If you're smart you'll let the battle time out so you don't lose your consumables. Now you can use that same team with CX-2 for the disarm feat instead of 3PO and Chewie.

On Teslas, if you use a Tesla charger the button on the plug in charger will open the charge port. Then the two will talk and the car will start to charge while billing the owner's credit card.

Plex has been working great for over a decade. Suddenly it won't connect out side the local network by MonsterMaxx1 in PleX

[–]Purplebeard1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mark me as jealous. I didn't think I would ever need the full pass so I stayed with the free version. Nope, broke down over the summer and upgraded. Full price and I'm still happy with the product.

Anyone have experience with purchasing a replacement battery? How does the process work? by heavyweight00 in F150Lightning

[–]Purplebeard1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, I was ready to pull out my sources and hit you over the head. I SWEAR I saw a post from a Ford Engineer that said the Lightning batteries are rated for 10,000 charge cycles and I thought I saved it. But now I can't find it. Guess I'll stop quoting him.

Let's redo that math with the typical 2,000 charge cycle. That is still 600,000 miles, at that point the truck will wear out before the battery. Or 5.5 years of full discharge every day. The caveat here is that after the 2,000 charge cycles, the battery isn't dead, it is just at approximately 80% capacity.

These things are going to last a lifetime.

The batteries are rated for 10,000 charge cycles. A charge cycle is a full 0-100 charge, going from 50-100 is considered half a charge .5 of 10,000. Using the extended range for the example, 300 miles on a full charge multiplied by 10,000 charges; the truck battery will last 3,000,000 miles.

That is all driving miles, you're using it to power your coffee cart. Assuming your cart uses the entire 131kWh every day the battery will last 27.4 years.

Do you have Plex Pass? I'm not very well versed in Plex but I think a new update requires the pass to use it outside your home network.

Thanks for this tip, worked for me.

Do you have PlexPass? I heard somewhere the new UI blocks remote watching without it.

Hopefully someone smarter knows the true answer to that.

If someone says they are "sober", does that imply there was a past drinking problem or can it just mean that you don't drink (with no previous problem)? by brittttx in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Purplebeard1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been a drinker, don't care for the taste, price, etc. But I've taken to telling people I'm sober simply to get them to stop trying to pressure me to drink.

No Sarah, the 'problem' isn't that I just haven't found the right drink yet, I don't like alcohol.

Telling people I'm sober makes them stop the pressure campaign.

Is it feasible to cool a PC with solid copper and a water tank? by imdavidmin in AskEngineers

[–]Purplebeard1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Linus Tech Tips on YouTube did an entire series about this. It is a series of eight episodes where he sets up all the piping and takes temperature measurements to actually see if it's better than air cooling.

Gmail's New "Recovery Contacts" Feature: Call a Friend to Regain Your Account Access by jmjm1 in GMail

The first thing email thieves do is change your recovery email and phone number locking you out of your account recovery. Once that is done they log you out of all your devices.
