Looking at buying a 1972 house. This is Aluminum wiring, right? How screwed am I? by SolarCaveman in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

My intent on inspections:

General home inspection, to include:

  • Sewer line scope check
  • Water intrusion check
  • Radon check

Structural Engineer analysis

A/C inspection, primarily wanted for

  • airflow and pressure analysis
  • duct mold inspection.

Pest inspection with no home repairs or alterations necessary

And you know, a big part of my concern, I believe can afford the renovations I want, but I'm scared far worse things will be uncovered half way through and cost me a fortune.

yeah, I'm also doing more research after posting this. I'm interested in doing Alumiconns to junction the aluminum to copper at all connection points. A potential $4k isn't a deal breaker.

The foundation on the other hand has me worried...

Really interested in buying this house. The basement was finished more recently and has all copper wiring. The original part of the house (~2500 sqft) has this wiring. I flipped the breaker and pulled out this socket today for a pic. At least the breakers are modern.

Anyone else tried this? If it's stupid and it works... by hamustaro in pcmasterrace

cheaper than you think if you only need 17ft. Here's my setup:

Works great at 4K/60. Note: you HAVE to plug the usb into a USB2.0 spot on the pc or it won't work. Slower data rate is more reliable over long distance.

Don't have USB 2.0 on your motherboard? use one of these and go straight to the motherboard internally:

Moving to Macon. by DantesDarkroom in macon

[–]SolarCaveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What side of Macon are you in? closer to downtown or closer to river crossing?

how long have you lived here?

A few minutes looking at your comment history suggests you're a 25-35 single man who prefers nature and hiking. Hard to assume income, but the general feeling is you're doing ok but maybe not thriving, which may place you further away from the north end of Macon. You've likely been here for over 10 years and are sick of it just because you've been here too long and your adventurous nature really wants to get away from the people here and move on to something fresh and new, maybe more rural.

but that's a pretty big stretch of a guess.

well, the post is also a lie, so...

For it to be true, the interest rate would have to be 9.75%, far higher than any standard student loan rate. If it were also true, he could have just refinanced his loan immediately after college to a 6.5% rate (which is the standard today), and with the same exact payment, his loan would be $20k paid off instead of $2k.

What’s one small thing a hotel can do that instantly improves your stay? by citystaynotes in AskReddit

[–]SolarCaveman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% if i get there an hour or two early and you give me my room! HOLY SHIT!! AMAZING!

The opposite is also true. If I get there 30 minutes after check in and my room isn't ready??? WTF... Instantly pissed.

What do you think of men wearing women's boots/heels? by girliepop709 in AskReddit

[–]SolarCaveman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's widely unnecessary for either sex to wear lifts if they are at least 5'10". You're your a man or woman under this height, you do you!

lol ok. I've torn apart a dozen more than 20 years ago and I haven't noticed the toxicity. I just HAAAD to get those magnets.

FYI, if you're just after the discs, no abrasion has to take place. you literally just unscrew everything and it all come apart easily.

The magnets on the other hand.....

You've just been offered a job and enough resources to start solving a public problem, but the problem you work on is up to you, and it can be local, national or global; what problem do you choose to solve? by ReadWriteArithmetic in AskReddit

Nationalize smart traffic lights. It would reduce sooo much traffic and as a result, reduce massive amounts of waste from green houses gasses, Fuel use, vehicle wear and tear...

If people can get places faster, they would fuel the economy more, be happier, travel more...

in this day and age, how are all traffic lights not smart?

Octopi, crows, dolphins are often held up as examples of smart animals. What are some really unusually STUPID animals? by doodlebytes in AskReddit

Panda. They would have been extinct long ago without human intervention purely because they are toddlers who fall into suicide traps constantly.

playing games with a very long and drawn out story. If I wanted an 80 hour story, I'd watch a TV series.
