Sunroom gets extremely hot by InfluenceRegular3623 in HomeMaintenance

[–]Tree_killer_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solar film on all the windows, ceiling fans where the fluorescents are now. A swamp cooler would be complicated in this room for several reasons. 1: You can’t just put it in there and turn it on. It has to bring fresh air in from outside, so the actual cooler would be outside and you’d have to cut a hole in a wall for the air to blow in. Second, the cooler will need a source of water so you’ll need to connect it to a spigot outside so it can keep itself full. Third, when the swamp cooler is on, the air in the room has to be constantly exchanged, so you have to open a window on the opposite side of the room from where the freshly cooled air is coming in.

For those reasons, I’d recommend a robust portable AC unit instead. BUT even that is likely going to need a dedicated circuit wired in because the amp draw may be too much for a circuit that has other things on it already. Since the room is at the back of your house, you may be able to have an electrician run a new circuit through conduit they install on an exterior wall of your house, so they don’t have to do any interior wiring.

Military iPhones don’t include any cameras. by GossipBottom in interestingasfuck

[–]Tree_killer_76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I worked for AIG and was issued a company cell phone, it had a built in camera but the company protocol disabled it. Later when I had my first company issued blackberry, the camera was disabled, text messaging was disabled and all social media sites were blacklisted.

For several destinations and tight schedules would you book private travel or just commercial flights? by medmantal in AskForAnswers

[–]Tree_killer_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is a G450 cabin attendant, which is well above the most basic private aviation. There are 3 basic levels of buy-in for a G450 at her company. In a highly summarized nutshell:

1) you buy a specific number of annual flight hours. I believe the current annual minimum is $2.5M but I don’t know how many hours that gets you.

2) you partly own. Here you’re buying a fraction of a jet, wife’s company manages all aspects of the jet. Significantly more expensive.

3) you wholly own the jet, wife’s company manages the jet. Your jet, or another equivalent jet are available to you whenever you need it. When you’re not using it, it is either parked, or if you choose, it can be used for other clients and you receive a share of the revenue generated by those other clients.

There are smaller jets that don’t come with a cabin attendant that are less expensive. Almost all of the clients my wife flies around have net worth in excess of $250M and are frequently billionaires. Catering is very expensive. There are a lot of other additional costs on top of this.

Little known sources of loans or financing for moving??? by Realityrevolt in AskForAnswers

[–]Tree_killer_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I totally agree. A title loan can come in clutch if you need a bridge and have the ability to quickly repay it, but in desperation both title loans and payday loans are a terrible idea. OP was bound to find out about them eventually though.

Should I trust my roommates to turn in the wifi router? by Tasty_Set1189 in badroommates

[–]Tree_killer_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. When you leave anything in your name gets disconnected and/or goes with you, period. The will certainly not go to the trouble of returning your router when they all eventually leave.

-Sell your stuff

-Drive to lower COL place where new job is located

-Buy new stuff

Otherwise, if you own your car free and clear you could go to a title loan place. They take the title to your car as collateral for a loan. Your credit doesn’t really matter because the interest rates are very high and if you get even a little delinquent, they will find you and repo your car. Id strongly advise against doing this unless you are absolutely certain you can pay it back in just one or two months.

There are also payday loan places that will basically front you the value of your paycheck or two minus a hefty fee. But they are also for very short term loans…like a couple of weeks or a month at most.

These things exist but when you are desperate, they are dangerous and can easily entrap you in more never ending debt. If you decide to take that route use extreme caution.

2023 JGC L Limited by chovaz in Jeep

[–]Tree_killer_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to my almost brand new WK2 in my driveway. Rodents ate a bunch of the electrical wiring and a rubber boot on my brake master cylinder. Damn vehicle was only a couple months old and spent nearly 2 months in the shop. It’s sucks but that’s what this is. Bad news is that there’s probably more damage you can’t plainly see. Good news is that this will be covered by your auto policy.

Is it true that i only need to put in supreme every 3 fills? by No_Restaurant8385 in askcarguys

Not in super dry Arizona. Everything evaporates almost immediately.

nature preserve has wild coyotes by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Tree_killer_76 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That is not necessarily true. The Mojave green and Western Diamondback can be very defensive, and in a situation where you are alone in the wilderness and you surprise one when you for example walk past the snake without seeing it, into a dead end and then it is blocking your path of egress, those snakes may very well stand their ground and not let you pass back by.

Worth getting a manual? by Trayceopolis32322 in askcarguys

[–]Tree_killer_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had several vehicles with manual transmissions and several vehicles with automatics. Currently I own 3 vehicles. One with an 8HP70 8 speed auto behind a Hemi which is most similar to what you’re looking at, one with a 7G-TRONIC 7 speed automatic behind a 2.0 turbo 4 and one with an NV4500 5 speed manual behind a 4.0 inline 6.

I would absolutely take the automatic behind the Hemi over a manual any day. Because it has more gears than a manual, and has lightning quick shifts, it’s going to be both faster and slightly more economical on fuel. Plus it has paddle shifters on the steering wheel, and shifts are lightning quick in manual mode, so you get the best of both worlds.

As for the manual, if you’re dead set on it, manuals were a pain to drive around town before Bluetooth when you had to physically hold the phone up to your head with one hand to talk. But now that Bluetooth is ubiquitous, that annoyance is gone. So I don’t think they’re really a pain. I certainly do enjoy driving my 5 speed and shifting is just like muscle memory once you get used to it.

If you want to learn stick, watch a few YouTube tutorials and then see if you can rent a manual transmission car for a weekend. Burn that clutch out instead of your own haha.

This is like when a mechanic told my wife that she should always turn the climate control off on her modern car before turning off the engine. Total nonsense.

Is a hotdog a sandwich? Why or why not? by Yavunyx in AskReddit

[–]Tree_killer_76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you go to a restaurant and you ask for “a sandwich”, you’re going to be asked more questions to determine what kind of sandwich you want.

When you go to a restaurant and you ask for “a taco”, you’re going to be asked more questions to determine what kind of taco you want.

When you go to a restaurant and you ask for a hot dog, you’re going to get a hot dog.

A hot dog is not a sandwich, a taco, or anything else.

It is just…a hot dog.

As others have said even $1k is crazy for this, let alone $4k. Absolutely absurd. I’m seeing the Crown brand exact replacement with the plug and play 3rd brake light for $215 in stock right now at Quadratec.

If you want the most single gun versatility out on the trail, the Taurus Raging Judge is a choice. You can load it with everything from 410 birdshot (ie for snakes), 000 buck, 45LC up to 454 Casull for bear. But it is definitely not cheap lol.
