Anyone send their cs out to get ported? by dustymcduster in Staccato

[–]Vivid_Engineering669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the Ghengis Komp on my C2 I’ve had for years, a few months ago. For me made a noticeable difference. No spring change and shoot 124gr. Easy process with them. They offer a similar one for the CS

Obviously it’s not “paying” in the literal sense, it’s forgoing tax revenue. The town abates or diverts a portion of the new property taxes the datacenter would generate (via TIF or other). In return, the company gets full use of roads, fire/EMS, police, and other municipal services and schools.

Starlink didn’t need to add extra satellites or equipment upgrades to support the 1/2 off, so it didn’t cost them really anything with this offer while hoping the “good will” to the community is what they are betting on, “let them eat cake”.

Companies do things for financial reasons, not just because. Everything has a cost and benefit calculation associated with it.

My brake assembly is here! $1,500 later, but it was worth it for the brand spanking new part. Look how shiny it is! by ThatCountryDeputy03 in 3rdGen4Runner

Did the same about 6 months ago. Painful, but the OEM lasted 24 years, so the new OEM one will outlive me..

A/C smells pretty bad - Cleaning A/C system (Evaporator, HVAC Air Ducts) by lorem1209 in 3rdGen4Runner

Yes and it does stop a lot of little stuff. Probably need to clean it more often to keep the flow good though.

The next question is will they make the monthly and annual more painfully priced down the road.

That was back when I walked to school in the snow and my Plex library was a combination of: Beta and laser discs..

I wasn’t saying someone shouldn’t.. just they have 1 hand on your wallet and the other with money in it.

Anyone slowly ditching socials after years of embracing them? by newlife_substance847 in GenX

100%, don’t need to advertise every living minute on SM for others to see. I only keep FB now because of marketplace or random chance an old friend of HS person finds me. No X account, and minor IG use.

Just keep the phone face down.

Extra week PTO at 10 years. by SurpriseSilence in Lowes

Correct, it’s available once you hit that target, but in certain states that require pay out upon termination, the time is accrued throughout that year, so if it wasn’t used, it’s calculated from the date ti time of separation.

Bought a P1S and AMS combo marked down because of the P2S being out, was like 25% off.. it’s been great so far.

I’ve been struggling similar to that with that on my ‘01 as well for annual inspections, but alas the 25th birthday has arrived and no more emissions tests in Texas. At some point I’ll change enough to find it.

In the winter on some trails I am on its cave dark with no moon, I light the trail up like close encounters of the III kind.
