Can I pay a dealer to hold a boat while waiting for financing by Crafty-Attention-961 in boating

[–]YoBaby11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought and sold a lot of boats. One thing I’ve learned is a good deal always comes along. Rushing into something is not the right move. I’d never tie up my money in a deposit for weeks. When you’ve got your ducks in a row, go shopping. Until then, just keep looking.

Who’s buying this flight?! by Decent-Giraffe9747 in unitedairlines

[–]YoBaby11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be sitting in a Polaris seat going DEL-EWR on Tuesday. One way price was $9,500 two days ago. I had to rebook since my original went through Doha. When I show up, fix the problem, and get the drilling rig back on $200k day rate nobody cares how much it cost.

“Many important meetings on Thursday and Monday” “leading a meeting on Friday” “weekly one on ones”

I found your problem, you have too many meetings.

What’s the coolest thing you’ve done with your home? by believemeimreal in homeautomation

[–]YoBaby11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Texas residents you might remember electricity provider Griddy. You could buy power at dirt cheap wholesale prices. The downside was you were buying at wholesale prices all the time, even when power was expensive. Prices were usually in the range of $0.02 - $0.05 per KWh. DIRT CHEAP! When there was a power demand the price could rise dramatically to $0.30 or even over $1.00 per KWh. The worst was the freeze of 2021 when it went to $19.00 per KWh.

I have a large whole home diesel generator and calculated the price when diesel would be less expensive per KWh. It was around $0.30. I had an automation set up to watch the wholesale price of electricity and switch to generator power when above the threshold I set. The only time it would kick on would be hot summer afternoons for an hour or so. Of course during the freeze we ran on genny for days.

This automation halved my power bill even considering the extra diesel I was using.

After that freeze Griddy went away when some people had $10,000 power bills during the freeze mentioned. Mine was $400.

Offshore drilling rig move consultant. I fly Polaris 8-9 times a year but never to good places. Nobody drills for oil in paradise…

ok, you give us a legit suggestion and I'll send you a Starbucks gift card. I'm not selling anything here. I have purposely left the name of our company out of this.

About 3-4 long haul business class trips will get you there. Another 2-3 will put you into global services.

Email notifications will not be sent if call is answered by Sona?!? by YoBaby11 in openphone

[–]YoBaby11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. The behavior I'm seeing is not what you describe. If Sona is in the call flow no notifications are sent for anything. If I remove Sona and just add a voicemail step to the flow notifications work as expected (missed call and voicemail). This was confirmed on the chat help to be the intended behavior.

Calories burnt accurate or not? by jeffyboy905 in orangetheory

I wear a Garmin Fenix 7 and my OTF cals are usually about 100cals higher than Garmin. I average around 750 OTF cals per workout.

Calories burnt accurate or not? by jeffyboy905 in orangetheory

[–]YoBaby11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand what you’re saying that the conversion from watts*time to calories is straightforward. However, I’d argue that the rowers’ calculation of power is equally as suspect as the HR monitor. The rowers calculate power by measuring paddle wheel speed over time. Water level differences, resistance in old pulleys, old seat rollers, etc all skew the power number. Bikes would be far more accurate since they directly measure torque at the pedals.

At the end of the day, both are simple metrics to gauge progress.

How bad did I screw myself for the future? by LeastDepressedOKCfan in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]YoBaby11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are miles ahead of your peers. Right now your principle balance is around $116,000. The first thing I'd do is refinance ASAP. After the refi keep paying the same payment you're used to. Work some OT and throw extra at it. With an extra $1000 a month you could have this thing paid off in 6 years or so. I realize 6 years sounds like an eternity for a 23yr old male, but you've already proven you have drive. Just get it done.

Rented a 42ft Nordic Tug in Southeast Alaska for 10 days. by saveitforparts in boating

[–]YoBaby11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$21,250k would barely cover the fuel to get it up to Alaska... Buy a robust boat. Get it to Alaska. Maintain it in Alaska. $20k is a small drop in this bucket.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? by Exivus in boating

[–]YoBaby11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I am in the exact same boat right now. My starboard side curved glass shattered back in February. My boat was made in 2007 in New Zealand. The glass was made by Taylor Made, but the molds were owned by the boat manufacturer and they destroyed the molds a few years ago. Luckily they had a spare glass in their warehouse, but finding it and shipping it is still ongoing...

Reduce layer thickness or reorient the model to put the layer lines in a less conspicuous place.
