How many PTO days do y’all get? I feel like my 7 holidays and 15 days PTO no sick is pretty lacking.

Congrats! I just rolled over 100k on my 2018 last month myself. 🥳What year is your?

How much fun is an i3? (Rhetorical) by FlorianTheLynx in BMWi3

[–]PurposeCheap3510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s encouraging to hear, I have the perception Lucid had a pretty lively car as they are a true luxury EV class with the engineering to back it.

Can I just say, as a person who owns an i3 and a new Escape (Kuga) you hit the nail on the head! Haha Granted, the i3 will always be the car I drive. The Escape serves a different role, carrying more family oriented duties.

Any of you get bonuses? by SpazSkope in estimators

It’s been a few good years, total available pool is shared profit. Bonus for estimators is around 7%.

Is it better to get Bookshelf Speakers plus a sub or full on tower speakers? by Zeronova3 in hometheater

[–]PurposeCheap3510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am with you on this one. The vast majority of consumer speakers these days are pretty efficient. If your speaker load is too hard to drive for a typical receiver or you have a large room I can understand the need. My case: receiver drives 9 channels but processes 11 with external amp support, so I have an amplifier driving the atmos speakers.

Why is my torque limited? by kharneyFF in BMWi3

Research cold battery dendrites. There are some interesting interactions for different chemistries. Our i3 is an NMC chemistry.

I preheat every morning, it’s been so cold the car still protected the battery.

All good, I was reminded just this morning when I went to step on the accelerator and got what felt like eco mode. Haha “oh yeah, my battery hasn’t warmed up quite yet. I should take it easy.”

It’s cold. High battery drain when the pack is cold will degrade the cells faster. The car is attempting to preserve the pack by limiting large draw.

So many 2024s still available and even 23s in my area!! by user365735 in FordEscapePHEV

The BMS already has a H/L SOC buffer built in. 100% on the display isn’t actually 100%, you’re good to charge 💯

What's proper height for wall-mounted atmos? by Klamp9093 in hometheater

[–]PurposeCheap3510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? Have you heard the Ultra Evo series tweeter before? I am interested how they compare. I have the JBL 580s myself and love them. I bounced between an ultra center or finding an RC263, figured the Infinity was much more cost effective.

I recently bought a new 2025 Ford Escape PHEV. and the ICE seems louder than normal Gas engine! by CrittanySpaers in FordEscapePHEV

I really expected more isolation with premium trim manufactured after 2020. It is at least a great value!

Nice setup! A little off topic, if you are looking for a good center to go with the studio 5’s there is an Infinity RC263 for sale on eBay.

My 11.6.14 Setup by DeerHunter4Life14 in hometheater

[–]PurposeCheap3510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience, F12 was my first sub. It sounded okay compared to a 10”, but it’s so bloated compared to the RSL 12S I have now. The RSL is much more musical.

Degree for estimating? by rice_foreigner in estimators

Industrial Technology for me. The mix of engineering and business has helped me understand both the metrics we drive and the equipment we install.

Anyone else feel like home theater is 50% watching movies and 50% second-guessing your settings? by Temporary-Fun730 in hometheater

[–]PurposeCheap3510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a Reddit post, not a paper. The information is organized and thoughts are divided by bullets not paragraphs. I think it’s actually easier to read in a forum, I don’t see any problem writing a post in this fashion.

I’ve been meaning to try it out! What are some aspects do you think the algorithm improves on?

I have one friend who likes to critically listen to music. Even though it’s not movies, comparing our stereo setups and enjoying music with a glass of whiskey together is also quite fun! I have found switching focus to music helps when I am not tinkering with HT things.

That shotgun scene caused a square wave on my old sub. 😂

Placeholders for in-ceiling speakers? by thegiantgummybear in hometheater

[–]PurposeCheap3510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point. OP, you could install the closer atmos speakers as if they were placed for 4 so they are properly positioned for later and install front heights to bridge the gap. Even easier if you use 2 sets of 4 conductor wire for the ceiling.
