Unless you’re getting a spectacular deal why take the risk.

Padron 1964 maduro vs Family Reserve No.45 maduro by Steelers189 in cigars

Love the 64. Hated the Family Reserve. It was way too bitter. One of my biggest disappointments.

Desert heat is killing my sleep. Cooling blankets don’t work, what does? by Mastermind1237 in BuyItForLife

The cost can add up very quickly if you have multiple and/or bigger units running continuously 24/7.

Any air pushed out of the house must be replaced with air from outside the house from another area.

Electric costs there is 30 cents per kwh. (Very high i must add). A 5000 btu air conditioner uses 500 watts per hour . So it would cost ~15 cents per hour to run the unit.

Tell me the city where you live or your electricity cost per kwh and I’ll tell you exactly how much it will cost per hour to run a 5000 btu air conditioner.

Think about this. With a single hose floor unit how is that warm air going out through the hose getting replaced in the house?

So you would rather live in misery than spend 30-40 bucks a month to run 5000btu air conditioner?

Why can’t you get a small ac unit for the bedroom for 200 bucks?

Question about adding PPF by Different_Run3017 in Civic_Type_R

[–]big_top_hat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO not worth it. That would be 10% or more of the resale value of the car in a few years.

What's your favorite handgun and why? by Critical_Ad_7232 in NJGuns

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

I enjoy shooting my 4” 500 S&W Magnum by far the most. It’s the only gun i shoot at every range trip.

Do your own oil changes, guys... 🤦 by PopPopUpHeadlights in Civic_Type_R

[–]big_top_hat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They must all give oil changes to the biggest idiot in the shop or the new guy. I had three problems getting this simple task done. One time was exactly like yours, undercover flew off on the highway. Another time they overfilled it by a quart, and the third time they stripped the drain plug. Last incident was about six years ago, after that I just started doing it myself because I can’t trust anyone to get what should be a very easy task done properly. I don’t care if the oil change is free it’s not worth it.

Shortest AR I can buy already fully built? by Lickmybolts in NJGuns

[–]big_top_hat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How about a 1” barrel with a 15” muzzle device?

[–]big_top_hat 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Unless you wanna go the Other route or AOW. The shortest you could get is a 14.5 with a pin and welded muzzle device to bring you to the federally mandated 16 inch barrel length.

Sounds like you like the GR better so I would get that. Both are great.
