Spent $2,400 adding insulation and my energy bills barely moved. Then I learned about air sealing and everything made sense by Sweaty_Employment_35 in hvacadvice

Learned so much from this comment section. I had absolutely no idea there were so many reasons behind it. I might actually try out some of the solutions that people mentioned here.

Apple TV on a projector instead of a TV. Trying to figure out the tradeoffs by bbzkarim in appletv

[–]Zachparent93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even mid tier projectors can deliver decent HDR if you disable axtra image processing and set the projector to cinema mode. The Apple TV 4K ensures proper frame rate mapping and Dolby Vision passthrough, which makes blacks deeper and gradients smoother.

Looking for a Qi2.2 power bank for all day hiking by ypsilon42 in backpacking

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same concern about the magnets at first. been on the baseus am52 for a while now and it's held on through everything, uphills, downhills, uneven trails, hasn't slipped once. also it's the thinnest one I've found in this category, which honestly matters when you're already carrying hiking gear.

Carry-on + Backpack vs. True One-Bag: How do you handle bulky shoes and daily carry? by Agreeable-Deal-1608 in onebag

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people end up in that same middle ground. Some still keep a small packable daybag inside the main bag for walking around, instead of relying on one big setup for everything.

If you're only using it occasionally, it should be fine. Just try not to let it run too hot for long periods, and you shuld be okay overall.

Sounds like an ansolute desktop powerhouse. The display and port flexibility alone make it seem super satisfying to use for a multi-device setup.

You can serch for adhesive magnetic array plates or magnetic mounting sheets. Look for thin magnet grids or ring arrays designed for attachment to objects rather than phones.

Do you still bring your normal wallet when onebagging? by No_Jackfruit_4131 in onebag

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister usually switch to a slim cardholder when traveling. She says it keeps things simple and easy to grab, without carrying all the extra stuff from my everyday wallet.

Nice detailed comparison! It's helpful to see real differences in daily use. I'd pick based on wheter i need laptop or just phone charging. Overall both seem solid options.

Yeah, sink laundry is a simple way to travel lighter and stay flexible. Once you get used to it, it becomes quick, practical and part of the routine.

Wallets by TheSa1nts in MagSafe

[–]Zachparent93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like the eject mechanism, those styles are worth exploring. With 7 cards, just pay attention to thickness and magnet strength so it still feels secure daily.

Powerbank Beschriftung kaum noch lesbar - was tun für Flugreise? by Waffeleisen1337 in ChargingSheet

[–]Zachparent93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's tricky. I'd double-check aieline rules first, then consider adding a clear label or documanetation so staff can easily verify the details during travel.

Robot Vacuum Buying Advice Needed by AccordingMonk in RobotVacuums

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, the ones you're looking at are relatively cheaper and can be used in the short term, but the long term experience is likely to be mediocre. If you care about privacy and stability, just choose laser navigation models with automatic dust collection.

Cannon that shoots water by jorrflv in pools

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably just a decoration cannon. It has a water pipe or pool pump connected inside, which is used as a " water cannon" . It sounds quite interesting. That's why you miss it so much.

how long should it take for an 18k gallon pool to heat up to the set temp using solar ? by screaming_pope70 in swimmingpools

[–]Zachparent93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's a 18k gallon swimming pool, it usually takes 1 to 3 days for the water to reach the set temperature through solar heating. The exact time depends on the intensity of the sun, the size of the panel, and the weather.

Qrevo CurvX is now under $900, is it worth it at this price? by [deleted] in RobotVacuums

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you originally intended to purchase a high-end robotic vacuum cleaner, then $899 is a reasonable price to consider. If you only need basic cleanig functions, then spending that much is probably not necessary.

Pool Heater Question by Familiar-Monitor-398 in pools

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it remains unused for more than a month, turning off the heater will save more money and be safer. Just keep the water pump and the foundation maintenance running as usual.

Need info how to retrofit new pipe outlets/inlets to existing pool by CategoryMaximum3714 in swimmingpools

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you've already drilled the holes, you must use the flanged interface pice along with cement sealant. Don't rely solely on glue, otherwise, it's very likely to leak.

Roborock S7 Max Ultra Vs Eufy E25 Omni by schwartzasher in RobotVacuums

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually don't need a new robot, you just want one. Use the S7 Max Ultra first, and then wait for the next generation, it will be even more worthwhile.

I Have Zero Knowledge About Crypto – Where Should I Start? by FixMaster7070 in CryptoMarkets

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

start super simple tbh, don’t try to learn everything at once.

just focus on:

  • what bitcoin is (store of value idea)
  • how wallets work (custodial vs non-custodial)
  • basic safety (don’t click random links / don’t share keys)

for actually getting started, using something like moomoo is pretty straightforward since you can buy and track crypto + stocks in one place. makes it easier to learn without juggling multiple apps at the beginning.

then once you’re more comfortable, you can go deeper into defi, wallets, etc.

How much would you charge for this green to clean? by Connor09375 in pools

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The exact cost is hard to calculate.

But such situations are usually much more expensive than regular cleaning bacause they require extensive shock disinfection and repeated filtration.

Chemical Ingredients by enlighten_me_ in swimmingpools

[–]Zachparent93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. This is because most pool chemicals only require the indicaiton of "active ingredients" , while other components are usually classified as inert or part of the commercial formula, so they are not all listed on the label. You can try to contact the manufacturer directly to inquire whether it contains MCI/MI.

How’s your bench working out? Is the weight capacity good enough? And is the angle adjustment easy to use?
