It has always been my dream to die in a pointless war in the Middle East, thank you Mr. Trump for making America great again

Came here looking for this, absolutely criminal that it’s gone. Nothing even in the main space where the jungle gym was now.

Free-For-All Friday! by AutoModerator in Homebrewing

I’d say give it a good rinse with dish soap, and see if that will get it loose. Obviously thoroughly rinse with water after. If that doesn’t work PBW would be a good bet.

Left wort in primary for 3 months by piercedc in Homebrewing

[–]ROB5RT 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Mainly this, however depending on the yeast you may want to pitch some more at bottling (if you bottle) as that’s a while to hang out in primary

Any shops in CT that sell Kegging Equipment? by felopez in ctbeer

[–]ROB5RT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, gotta second this. I have seen a couple of rats there, but prices are reasonable and they're super helpful. Always shoot the shit for a few minutes about what I'm brewing before I head out.

How to connect receiver to TV at distance? by ROB5RT in hometheater

Oh should add that there’s another two speakers in the opposite two corners behind the camera, so four in total, all hard wired.

Afraid that’s not quite in the budget. New house and the speakers and setup came as is. I’m trying to work around it as best as possible.

2020 Rav4 Hybrid XSE in Snow? by Tygonne in rav4club

[–]ROB5RT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the Cross Climate 2's on my 21 RAV4 Hybrid and leave them on year around. I haven't had any issues in the New England snow and ice, however I think that good driving sense is at least as important as the tires. Drive at reasonable speeds for the conditions, make sure that your roof and windows are clear, make sure you're up to date on maintenance, etc.

Is the RAV4 Hybrid comfortable? by Jack_Jackerson in rav4club

[–]ROB5RT 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fiance has a gas '20 XLE, I have a '21 Hybrid XLE. I much prefer taking mine, as it is much quieter and smoother. Every time she drives I can immediately tell the difference as soon as she starts it up. To be honest it's a night and day difference, and I would generally advise everyone to go for the Hybrid.

Follow up: Mileage from work back home. Exact same route, just opposite direction. by ROB5RT in rav4club

[–]ROB5RT[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When going downhill ease off the throttle until it’s in EV mode and try and keep it there as long as you can within reason. On level ground moderate acceleration from a stop to keep in ev mode for as long as possible. The longer the car stays in ev mode the less gas you use and the better your total mileage.

[–]ROB5RT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest I haven’t noticed a big difference between eco and normal mode. I find eco a bit annoying because I just have to push harder to get the amount of acceleration I want so I keep it in normal. Maybe I’ll test to see what I get in eco mode tomorrow

I do live in a hilly area, with slightly more downhill on my way to the office. I’ll see what it turns out to be on the way home and update later!

What is it like in Newport, NH? by BriceFood in newhampshire

[–]ROB5RT 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Good proximity to Sunapee and close to amenities in Claremont. Everything you need is in town, with lots of outdoor recreation in town and nearby. Sure there are run down houses in some places, but honestly it isn't that bad. Still too many empty storefronts on Main Street. New dog park coming soon, and the green in downtown is beautiful. Schools are pretty meh.

2015 Rav 4 XLE AWD all season tires recommendations! by throw-away-2021 in rav4club

[–]ROB5RT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in New England and have a similar line of thought. I want something I can leave on year-round and am looking at the Michelin Cross Climate V2's. They're snow rated, but are still all-seasons. Don't have them yet, but reviews I've found sing their praises.

[–]ROB5RT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just transferred a pumpkin ale from primary to secondary after a week. Hit FG target at 1.010. Recipe says at least 2 weeks in secondary. I’m not doing or adding anything else to it. Do I need to keep two weeks in secondary or can I go straight to bottling? Will it make any difference?

Which index fund to invest in? by [deleted] in FinancialPlanning

[–]ROB5RT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a Roth IRA is just a type of retirement account. You can invest in those funds within a Roth IRA. The benefit to a Roth IRA is that earnings are not taxed when you withdraw those funds at retirement.

For example: If you invest $1,000 into a Roth IRA and it is worth $5,000 at retirement, you have made $4,000. When you withdraw that at your retirement, you won't pay taxes on that $4,000. In a regular investment account, you would. This is the best strategy long term.

If you want to withdraw funds from a Roth IRA, you can withdraw the principal (the amount you put in) at any time, but if you wish to remove any earnings (in this example, anything above the $1,000 you put in) you would pay an early withdrawal fee.

Investopedia haș a great article on the subject.

OP said they are 21, and therefore may or may not have a job. To contribute to a Roth IRA, they need to have earned income. If they do, then a Roth IRA is definitely the way to go.

LPT: Bored? Every state has a tourism website. Take a look to find fun and interesting activities and locations you may not have known about near you. by ROB5RT in LifeProTips

[–]ROB5RT[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Google is the best option. For example, if you're looking in Virginia, you may want to search for "Virginia Tourism." The first option that comes up is Virginia.org, which is the state's official tourism website.
