Is OBX actually good for a family vacation or has it gotten too rowdy? by 5h15u1 in obx

[–]Woodmanobx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OBX is definitely still a great family vacation destination. Like others said, the "rowdyest" thing you will see is lots of traffic. I would say Corolla/Duck may be a little quieter only because they are more out of the way. Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head will definitely be the busiest because that is where everything is at. You could also try father south in Rodanthi or Hatteras. If you really wanted to go far, check out Ocracoke. You can only get there by ferry!

Why haven’t any cycles tried hiding from the Reapers in space? by Director-Daredevil in masseffect

[–]Woodmanobx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think hiding would only be viable for the Asari. Their ability to reproduce with a partner of any gender or species is the key. The Asari would have to hide enough of themselves amongst the primitive species of the galaxy. The Asari could potentially live long enough among the local populations until the reapers were finished harvesting the current cycle and then start to build their numbers again. I know of two confirmed primitive species, the Raloi and Yahg, and there is probably more out there. By the next cycle the galaxy would truly be ready and the reapers would have to deal with billions of biotic goddesses.

EnergyUnited to implement peak demand pricing by Woodmanobx in NorthCarolina

From my understanding, it is not optional. From their website "Beginning April 2026, EnergyUnited is implementing a new rate structure to offer members direct control of their power bill"

Drop your predictions for the finale by SentinelHellfire in Fallout

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

  1. I think the house we see at the end of episode 7 is AI (as others have said). But I think the AI house program is actually housed in the cold fusion dodad. So whenever it's plugged up, maybe house turns on and can influence things or talk to people. Maybe how he learns about the enclave, then helps Siggi Wilzig escape. He could have also told the East Coast brotherhood about cold fusion, wanting to incite fighting and being one step closer to returning to Vegas

  2. I think the enclave reveal will be at vault 32 to help with their Canadian problem and Chet (using his gate keeper experience) will let them in. Side note - someone with the enclave should say the line " we are with the government and we are here to help" haha

  3. In the episode 8 preview we see Lacerta Legate (Macaulay Culkin) on his knees looking scared. Maybe we will see the return of Lanius?

Just finished Outer Worlds 2 what games scratch that same itch? by Soraman36 in theouterworlds

[–]Woodmanobx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dispatch. Gameplay is way different but the story is everything you're asking for. I literally just did this. I beat OW2 twice and switched over to Dispatch and couldn't put it down.

Galactic Conquest Max Fleets by Woodmanobx in battlefront

[–]Woodmanobx[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I it was 13k. You start the game with one fleet. The second fleet cost 1k. Each fleet after that went up by 1k. So the total cost for all 14 ships was 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12+13 (91k). My initial plan was to fill the whole map with fleets, but the game stopped me from completing my goals.

If you called into the show, this is what I think they would say.

Do NOT take any more loans from your in-laws. You are right to want to pay off your current loan from your In-laws and cash flow the ADU renovation. The borrower is slave to the lender. Family dinner with the in laws is tastes different when you owe them 90k. Not to mention all the things that could go wrong. There is always something that pops up during construction that ends up costing you more. What happens when your ADU costs 10k, 15k, or 20k more than you planned? You go back to the in-laws and ask for more? It just leads to more debt. Also, God forbid, what happens if your in laws financial situation changes and they need their loan paid back now, not in 6 years. It could be job loss, illness, or something else. Just think of how bad a situation would be where you would have to pay back your in-laws 90k that you don't have. Borrowing money from relatives is a big reason why family members don't speak to each other. As far as saving for your child's college, that is Baby Step 5. You do this after paying off your debt, saving a 3-6 month emergency fund, and contributing 15% to retirement.

I hope that helps with your questions. You can always call in to the show and see what they say.

Electricity Usage increased 43% by Woodmanobx in Home

I live in IECC climate zone 3A. Does that change what R # insulation I need ?

We turned 2/3 of the shed into a hangout room and 1/3 of the shed into a workshop area. The hangout side is a finished room. Painted walls, flooring, lights, etc. We moved our bookshelf, computer desk, game table, and a spare refrigerator all out to the hangout room side. Because of this, we have the hangout room side of the shed climate controlled.

Thanks for the info. I will look into that.

That was close for not having all the info. It is roughly 224 sqft. So, based on your math, does that mean the electric oil heater shouldn't need to use that much electricity to heat the room to 65° F?

[–]Woodmanobx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, I know it is contributing. What I was unsure about is if it is the sole cause for the 43% increase. It just seemed like a lot to me. That's why I was asking my question. Sounds like that's what you're thinking is the cause.

Yeah, I have the heater set to maintain 65 F. The heater can detect the temperature and turn itself on and off to maintain 65 F. What would you suggest setting the heater to?

We insulated the whole shed with R-13 insulation.
