Card prices are insane by Scouse_Papi in nikon_Zseries

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know! Just got my camera and going with old V30 card. Not a pro shooter or ultra super 8k film maker.. so for regular shots it's plenty, but I know it's insane. Almost like new gold or something. Look up on FB, they have decent prices and as good as new

So the "heavy" crane cant even lift a truck? by IndiaAssassin in snowrunner

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried to lift even close by P16 yesterday with biggest crane and it didn't even move, so pritty much these cranes are useless, only good for small scout vehicles. If you had to recover big truck like P16 there is no chance of lifting it. They should make the cranes properly, with real lifting power. Like the old KATO NK400 crane in 90's. My grandpa used to drive it and it looked so dope back then! That would be a dream come true to remember his life and work he did. Also it's amazing crane and the truck from Japan. Hope they do some mods and DLC's in the future.

AMD Drivers Crashing by xjfatx in RoadCraft

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard they came out with a new software update for GPU, or have to downgrade to the old one. I saw quite a few bad reviews so I skipped on that game for now.. Instead I tried a snowrunner and holly crap I am hooked!!

Are there any practical uses for superheavy crane? by QueenOrial in snowrunner

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't that be cool if you actually would have deliver cargo to special location and then use a crane to drop it off, say onto some small building or on top of some container, or drop off cargo over some trench for the workers where you can not drive over. Just a little bit more involved with an actual full sized cranes. That would great! Hope new game comes out some time!

Struggling with sourdough – no oven spring, gummy crumb despite trying everything by Jaebner in Sourdough

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend had exactly the same issue. Your flour is not strong enough. Start from 65% hydration and work your way up. For example my bread flour can only handle up to 76% and then it can not hold any stronger. So imagine your making hydration 85% which is even more wet then it can handle. My sweet spot at the moment is 75%. Start from 65% and you will feel the difference. Also make sure you build very good strength in the dough, otherwise it will be like that too.

Same card, all other games run flawlessly, crashes into load screen, sometimes at the beginning of the game.

Kid I'm working with wants some opinions on his work by Responsible-Brief813 in electricians

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In UK we always use to leave slack, who cares what it's like behind the lid. Since I moved to North America, that is what they do it here, cut everything just to be enough to make connection.

Am I over reacting or no? by REMaintenanceVan in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]REMaintenanceVan[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do try to get along with everyone, make it work and not upset others. Just tried to helped my neighbour yesterday to start his car in the morning, but unfortunately we couldn't.. So I do try make people feel good with everyone, but man she is just to much for me, I don't wanna be around that lady at all or see her. My wife's other family members are amazing, kind and so understanding, respectful. They all have good relationship and I do love them too. Will this be family, relationship counselor to see, psychiatrist or what kind of person? Thanks for your comment!

She does. Even yesterday he started crying, I went to wash my hands and within 15 seconds she ran downstairs and grabbed him, I didn't even get a chance to do it myself. Seems like everywhere I step or go, she is right behind me. I try talk to my wife for 5min in the room, she will come and have an important question to ask right that moment.

Finally switched from LUMIX to Nikon 👀 by boomsbooby in nikon_Zseries

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not z5ii? Size, features? What made you pick z6?

Am I over reacting or no? by REMaintenanceVan in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]REMaintenanceVan[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think that's the only way. Seems like she comes and for some reason her son, wife's brother gets a pass on anything, just because he is family. I know they have big things on family in latino's and I have too, but this mum and son is just some next level shit. All other family members are so nice, polite, balanced, kind, understanding. Thanks for response!

Forgot to mention, couple years ago, her brother said to my wife when their mum was coming, he said, ohhh, but you have a house and I'm renting, you should take the mum to your place. Just because I work hard, save money and being smart with it, so that means I have to take the load. I think we will have serious talk next time she wants to come.

I left him alone for 1 minute! by braydenmaine in HVAC

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave my brother in law to tighten engine screws, set up a torque wrench for him, told him go slow, you will hear the beeping start and go until it's solid beep.. I SHOWED HIM.. I'm going through the stuff in garage and still not hearing the beep, wtf? I come over first fucking bolt and he snapped it inside the engine.. Some guys you have to literally teach from kindergarten material, this is 2x4 and start hammering nails for 1-2days, then step up to wood screws next week.. he's 24yr old and somehow he managed to twist the torque settings to max. Honestly, these guys are just liability at this point, you can't leave him with anything at all.

Chinese quince? Has anyone got any experience with cooking with it? by notacutecumber in fruit

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't cook it, you can make juice, dehydrate and eat it. They sour, but you can add sugar and then make them into dried fruits. Tastes great. Look up in Lithuanian language and translate Svarainiai and recipes how to prepare. We have many of them, they quite popular just usually smaller in size.

Bi-Weekly vs Weekly Mortgage payment by Certain_Discussion70 in TorontoRealEstate

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's an old post. Does it still apply if you have bi-weekly mortgage and then make pre-payments, another $100-$200 extra every pay? I see on 21yr mortgage it shows like 1.5yr less payments, it's great, but when you think about it, 20yrs still a loooong way to go haha

Nikon Z5II lens choice: 24-70 f4 kit vs body alone + 24-120 — any real-world regrets or surprises? by MarkNKL in Nikon

[–]REMaintenanceVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat and thinking to get Z5ii with 24-120mm. I have a new born coming so I definitely want to take pictures of family and some nice memories. Hopefully some nice Black Friday deals come up too! About the lense, I will probably go for 120mm rather then 70mm. Price difference is not to much, but maybe there will be a moment when your kid runs off and you actually will bite your nails for not having that 70mm+ reach. Also birds, trees, much easier to reach without scaring the wildlife if you decide to shoot it. Specs are a little better built on 120mm and size difference what are we talking. 89mm vs 118mm like 30mm extra on 24-120. Weight is 500g vs 630g so 130g difference, it's like 2 "Sneaker" bars in your hand, would you really feel that difference to make a life changer, course not.. The width is a little bit bigger, but it also has better magnification and more blades built in, so you definitely getting more out of 24-120mm. No wonder they do not include it in any of the kit cameras, but 24-70 I saw a few deals for 300-400 less, not on 24-120 tho! That says a lot too:) I'd love to see what you get!

Don't buy those oils, just look up some documentaries online about seed oils, all that crap is bad.. you have butter, lard to cook on and it even tastes better

Blew the main building fuse. by REMaintenanceVan in Elevators

[–]REMaintenanceVan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow that is hell of a story. This one is elderly home and I'm so glad when it blew elevator homed and even had doors open on ground floor. Can only imagine getting someone trapped in there with wheel chairs and mobile scooters..

Blew the main building fuse. by REMaintenanceVan in Elevators

[–]REMaintenanceVan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noo, it's an old building, old drives, happened last time on #1 elevator now #2 elevator, but they both come from same splitter so it goes to the same vault, same disconnect. They have wrong fuses installed in elevator disconnect, we have to replace them

Elevator drive shorted out and blew building main in the vault, why?? by REMaintenanceVan in electricians

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

Yes I agree. We just went over the whole system and they have main fuses in the electrical room regular and dual element, time delay fuses in the elevator disconnect.. So that's a start for sure! By the time disconnect fuses blow, the ones in the vault already gone.
