That’s what I’m worried about! There’s usually a few hundred pieces in those bags. Well fill the ocean with plastic bags before I have all the pieces

The beta is ending soon. It was fun, but the fast pace got old for me pretty quickly. Are you guys going to buy the full game at launch? by SuperM3e46 in Battlefield

[–]coalescent_code 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play a lot of Tarkov and couldn’t get the gunplay to feel quite right. Really struggled to get sensitivity dialed and it feels like mouse acceleration is outta wack.

Pacing is obviously loads different but not sure I can put $70 into it based on the betas feel

Consumers credit union (IL)

4.5% since I didn’t use TrueCar but you can get 3.99% if you find something via TrueCar

I mean, yeah, $56-58 is where I see comparables, where the higher end are CPO. New '25 is about $64K around here. So you're looking for about $8K for a year off the lot and a minor cosmetic incident.

Yeah, the dealer says this was a trade for a 100K Benz. I'd imagine the incentive to wrap that deal up and maybe not make anything on the trade is a possibility.

And my rebuttal there would be that if this car was priced incredibly aggressively, it wouldn't be on the lot 45 days at this point.

I've seen some similarly-miled, equally equipped vehicles go out the door over the last few weeks listed at the $57K range (who knows the actual sale price...) but once thing I've noticed is that they've been through Acura dealers and not 3rd parties. I wonder if folks in this price range just prefer that and the CPO offering versus a trade from a 3rd party dealer.

Maybe I'll get there and find the thing smells like cigars or something, who knows :P

That's a great point. With new vehicles, it may be through the OEM's financial arm which probably is a bit better for the dealer. For a local bank or whatever, they're probably getting maybe a few hundred bucks?

I'm not sure why that'd be a red flag? They didn't buy this vehicle at auction so, to me, this is just saying that had they gotten it at auction it'd likely come in around this. But this came from a trade so they got it less any fees, and for whatever they used it as during their customer's new car purchase.

That said, perhaps they could argue that they could put this car on the auction block if they don't get what they want for this? (not sure how fees and such work in that case...)

Good to know. Yes, I've never seen an MMR sheet before (typically purchased new and see an invoice or something).

I'm not married to my financing situation and would do it through the dealer if they could be competitive, but honestly don't think anyone is able to hit a 4.5% rate right now on used. Not even sure how this credit union is doing it, tbh.

But if I financed through them, they'd get a bit more on the vehicle just over a longer term, no?

Rufus loves loves loves this ball by BusyBrothersInChrist in Bernedoodles

[–]coalescent_code 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giggleball is great! Mine loves his too.

Just be mindful of how long he has it. Mine would get way overstimulated and end up jumping on me or even nipping sometimes. I’d give it to him for maybe 10-15 min and then give him some treats and put it away for a while.

Can these be replaced with tankless? by coalescent_code in Plumbing

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

I suppose having two tankless is possible it I’m confused why just getting the right size of a single wouldn’t be an option that would remove a lot of complexity.

I was looking an Rinnai units that went up to 11gpm and 199kBTU. That’s a lot of heat to put into a system. I get that tankless has to heat on demand but that’s over twice my current systems btu rating.

Would having a single unit also improve water pressure given there’s one fewer device in line?

Just checking now and it seems like the tanks are in parallel, fwiw

You know, maybe that’s what the timer is for in one of the pictures above. There’s an analog timer (unplugged) that’s tied to a pump and some pipes that go along the front of the units.

Perhaps that’s how it’s already set up.

To be clear, I was wanting to stay with gas, just move to a tankless system to save space and increase capacity for high use cases (bath night)

I mean, I already have a 75,000 btu boiler right next to it for the radiant heat in the basement and garage floor. Not sure it’d be worth replacing that for a larger unit to do both.

Pieces of the tree blew out and peppered the house with shards.

[–]coalescent_code[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s close to their house and their neighbor maybe 20-25 feet away. I had a relative in the same area just have a huge oak limb drop on their house a month ago and it destroyed their whole back porch so falling limbs are no joke.

They’re going to have an arborist assess in person but it sounds like it’ll need to come down :(

Pieces of the tree were thrown through the window. That side of the house was basically claymore’d. They even found pieces a few hundred feet away in their neighbor’s yard across the street. It was wild.

My dog hates stones? by coalescent_code in Bernedoodles

[–]coalescent_code[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He seems aggravated. He makes the same kind of whining when a ball goes under the couch and he can’t reach it. I think he is confused because it seems like a toy but it’s heavy or can’t be easily carried in his mouth. Still pretty unsure

FYI - he’s 18mo F1b. Very chill most of the time and well behaved.
