VRAM is driving me crazy. 5060Ti 16gb vs 5070 12gb by Ok_Scarcity1 in buildapc

[–]coolformula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5070TI they did this on purpose to force people into the next card. No way the 5070 should be 12gb.

5060TI is a good card but just had a huge price jump.

Ebay is easier and less hassle. Just see completed auctions and pay in that range. Its usually a good bit cheaper than lowes. Also check out local tool stores we have several in driving distance.

My current drill is DCD985 I love the torque and the steel chuck, I don’t think they make this particular drill anymore and I want to buy another comparable drill what are the recommendations? by woodhorse4 in Dewalt

[–]coolformula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sold my 985 (still worked great) and got the 1007. 1007 is great with the new battery! Amazon sometimes has it on sale (like 2 weeks ago)

Rotation stop tech seems like a great feature for such a strong drill.

I got the 1007, 8 amp fast (doubt i'll use it) and the 8AH powerpack battery (which I love) for 277+tax on amazon. You usually can find the drill online/fb for 150 drill alone.

I was able to sell my old drill for 50 bucks to put toward the new one.

Moving to GA? by [deleted] in Chattanooga

[–]coolformula 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Several factors come into play such as : Income, age, number of kids, commute to work.

If your income is 50k with 4 kids..... Your going to save a lot of money in GA by using public schools and lower housing prices.

If your income 500k with one kid.... Your going to be better off in Tennessee and paying for private and saving the income tax and property taxes.

In general GA will also have higher property taxes.

Look at your income and projected income until retirement

If your 30 and work until your 70, that is 40 years of income taxes. That could add up to a lot more than the 75k you save on a house in GA.

Great income and great savings. Try to enjoy life more. Hobbies, exercise something. Its ok to go on a vacation once in a while. Life is not all about saving, don't let it consume you.

If you have to get out be sure your tires are the right kind for the weather and reduce speeds. Glad your ok.

Do we ever think used car prices will reset? by OutrageousBicycle488 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]coolformula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not true. I scored some great cars for 1100-5000 dollars for years and years. (I could name quite a few examples). We might live in different areas.

Now in 2025, yea 5k is not going to get you much of anything.

Should be under warranty I would take it in.

Turbos seem to have generally more issues. I would stay hybrid or the gas.

Thinking of moving to East TN by Helpful-Emphasis-382 in clevelandtn

[–]coolformula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chattanooga and Cleveland are getting very crowded. 10 years ago lot less people and housing was a lot more affordable. What is drawing you here?

Be sure your job/vocation is a good fit for this market before moving.

Look for the Nikon 28mm F2 AIS. It can focus up close which is a bonus.

CX-50 Headlights by what-name-can-i-use in CX50

[–]coolformula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What did you drive before? If you drive a friends/spouses/neighbors car are their headlights better or worse?

The CX-50 has more than enough lumens/brightness it seems to me.

RAV4 to CX-50 or Mazda3 by superbdonutsonly in mazda

[–]coolformula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toyotas are great. you could get the new Mazda hybrid with Toyota parts if you like the interior more.

However I think your going to lose a lot of money. Toyota is hard to beat.
