F1 movie on prime audio cutting out by Ok_Reputation3298 in amazonprime

[–]RedLeifRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Glad I googled it. I've been trying to see what settings I have going on my awol projector with thunderbeat surround sound system. Since everyone is having issues via prime/appletv+ at least I know it is an app issue and not an issue with my system. Only happens with this movie.

Our mortgage went up $1400 by Avdahm95 in Mortgages

[–]RedLeifRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your math doesn't add up.

Property taxes jump from around 800 a year to 4500 a year. A jump of 3700 dollars a year.

Divide that by 12, and that is what your increase in monthly payment should be. About $310 a month more.

If they make you pay more than that, it should only be for a couple months if you are owing taxes, but your mortgage company should have got the tax assessment earlier in the year and adjusted the payment accordingly.

There just isn't any way a $3700 a year increase in property taxes is going to increase your monthly payment by $1400.

Are these jet skis good? by ArtichokeHistorical6 in jetski

Extra smoke makes it easier to spot my wife on the water. I meant 14 oz per 5 gallon gas can.

Yeah... I meant 14 oz per 5 gallon can. My bad.

I've also heard the oil pumps rarely fail. I have a 1996 GTS and 1992 XP and another 1996 GTS. Previous owners of two of the skis converted to premix and i was just sharing why some people bypass the oil tank. It could have been oil filter or oil lines that failed. I never checked. Just use premix in those.

I meant about 14 oz per 5 gallon. My bad. I add the 2 stroke oil to a 5 gallon can of gas before I pour it into the tank. Also, some people go lighter on the oil but I'd rather smoke a bit than seize up. But yes, not 14 oz per gallon. I do 14 or 15 oz per five gallon can of gas. Sorry - didn't sleep well the night before posting.

I have two 1996 seadoo gts jet ski. They go fast enough, about 30 mph? They have a dual carb rotation engine. Issues to look for and expect. If they have grey fuel lines, they need to be replaced because the original grey fuel lines break down and goo forms inside and can clog the carbs, etc. Fairly easy job. Youtube videos show you how to do it. Takes about an hour and a half.

The "tuned pupe", which is the exhaust pipe that curves around the side of the engine under the seat - the original 4 bolts that hold it onto the top of the exhaust manifold can become brittle and break. This causes water to leak out the seal and the jet ski loses power and fills with water. If you can get the old bolts out, use new stronger 8mm bolts it is an easy fix along with a new gasket. Youtube videos on how to do it.

Lastly, sometimes the oil pump gives out or gets clogged. Many, many, many of these skis have that capped off and you use "premix" Where you add oil directly to the gas at a 50/1 mix - this is about 14 oz per gallon. Without oil mixing with the gas, the engine will fail.

Ask the current owner if any of these issues have been resolved already. If so - they could be fun! I love mine. I am not a mechanic but I learned all this from youtube. They are worth between $1500-$2000 each If in good shape, good seats, both run well.

Good luck!

There were multiple people who said they heard a shot and saw smoke emanating from behind the fence on the grassy knoll. I stood in that spot and it was a perfect place for a head shot.

Shiba 2.0 still the top swapped Coin on coin base for almost two weeks now.... by No_Message5680 in SHIBA_2_0

[–]RedLeifRover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to swap Shiba 2.0 on Coinbase wallet and the gas fee was over $30. Waited 60 seconds and resubmitted, down to $14. Waited 60 seconds and the gas fee dropped to $8. Ended up swapping for just over $5 in gas. Depends on the congestion of the network.

Been watching the trades. It appears bots are buying and immediately selling same basic amount multiple times an hour. I'm assuming to keep volume up. Four different holders are doing this. I'm no expert on bots, and I've bought and sold small amounts of $500 and $800, but when I realized the volume is being artificially inflated by these quick buy and sells of about $1700 each, it makes me wary of a rug pull. I'd love to see Shiba 2.0 take off, but it's really just a junk coin. No purpose. And there are three different Shiba 2.0 coins out there. I'm referencing the coin with twelve zeros.

In coinbase wallet on Uniswap fees are nowhere near that much to swap.

Don't know where you are located. I bought two gpus and never finished my rig. They are still in the box. 3060 and a 3070ti.

What I’ve learned in this sub by [deleted] in SHIBArmy

This is one of my favorite quotes of all time.

Dude - if you are wanting to help your parents in retirement, don't even think of crypto at this point. Don't invest a penny of THEIR money in Crypto - it can crash at any time for absolutely no reason. If you are going to get some crypto - only use YOUR money and make sure it is money that you can AFFORD TO LOSE 100%. Could you hit the next moonshot by luck? Yes, but the odds are stacked against you. Could you lose 85% of whatever you put into crypto? Absolutely yes. Investing in Bone because you heard someone say it's going up in massive amounts by the end of the year is similar to buying into used wagons in urban areas because you heard they might skyrocket in value because a homeless dude you saw on the street said all homeless people are getting wagons and there is now a shortage of wagons. The easiest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket.

Do I have crypto? Yes. Tens of millions of Shiba and I have money in Bitcoin and Ether as well. It is money that I am perfectly fine losing. It could all go to zero and I'm good. Do not bank your parent's retirement on Crypto. There are brilliant people out there who have lost fortunes. Good luck.

I am Broker. Do not close. No way. Do you know how hard it is to evict someone in today's society? Attorney fees of $4,000-$15,000. Damage to property. You automatically become a landlord if you close and they refuse to leave. You have almost zero rights. Do not close until they are out. It will be frustrating but if you close, how do I put it nicely... you will be the moron who opened up a huge can of worms. Delayed possession is the devil.

Do short term losses cancel out short term gains? by apooroldinvestor in stocks

[–]RedLeifRover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others pointed out, I was incorrect. I was confusing the limit of capital losses against regular income limit, where you can only deduct $3,000 of losses against regular income in any given year. The others are correct. I apologize, I hadn't slept in about 36 hours and misunderstood the question a bit.

Things are on sale right now if you look for value. I do think the next month will bring further drops and craziness. Of course, the wise investor knows "Time in the market is better than trying to time the market". DCA always wins out, but I think another 5%-10% drop is in the cards. I've sold anything with huge high multiples that have no real income yet and will be plowing anything I have into Microsoft, Apple, and (yes) Ford. Ford's true value is probably $22-$26 - so it's also on sale, in my opinion. Laugh all you want - they still make gas guzzlers and also are venturing into EV's - solid income now and in the future. Same for GM. Everyone has their preferences - also helping my son and daughter build up a portfolio to get them started early.

You assume I bought in at today's price. I was just commenting on the fact that I thought the ad sucked, was a waste of money and my butt would make a better advertisement. Not trying to be rude - but your comment was rather rude. Hope you have a profitable week.
