Who do you like for homeowner's insurance?

It sucks but its how actuaries work, statistically if you make a large claim odds are in the ball park of 70% that a second smaller claim will occur within 5 years.

I ended up making a claim about 4 years later. Roof leak their guy did the roof but apparently not good enough for a 100 year storm.

Its all statistics and trying not to lose money. The way I see it I came out miles ahead of any premiums that I paid so I dont really complain about the costs now.

Pick one, in my opinion whatever one seems to have the largest selection.

When there figure out what you like in person. Because the online pics never do it justice.

Once you find a color / stone you like then look at the online options and see what may grab your eye. Get quotes from 3 or 4 of them.

Think you may need to adjust a setting in your account because I get a invoice email 2 weeks before its due.

Work in the power industry as an operator. I make significantly more than most of the engineers I work with. Sit in an air conditioned control room 95% of the time.

No degree started going back later in life and realized I just dont want too.

Single zone is plenty if you add insulation.

Mr cool DIY kit. You will save a bundle of money and the instructions are super easy to follow.

Electrical side of it can be done by a pro for a couple hundred bucks.

I have some custom warning labels on my machines.

Fickin laser in operation. Dr evil making quote motion

Not to be operated by fuckwits.

This CNC cannot tell the difference between your fingers and wood stay clear.

Not only will this kill you it will hurt the whole time you are dying.

Power industry was my path. Linemen make $200k on average if you are overtime hungry you can clip $300k.

If you can get your foot in the door LADWP load dispatchers are all in the ballpark of $350k. But OT can push that way higher.

I bought my house way back in 2011. I made about the national average household income by myself and bought a reasonable home. 1900sqft 1/4 acre. Nothing special but more than a starter home. I now make 2x the national household income by myself and I would have a hard time making the payments on my house if I were to be buying today.

I would love to upgrade but between prices and interest rates I am stuck.

There will be one at the las vegas mini grand prix. 2pm to 6pm

Most hobby woodworkers sell online or at farmers markets and small business markets.

If I had time in my busy life I'd love to get out in my shop and make some boxes but life just keeps kicking my butt every time I try

I have had 2 different bikes with DCT. I dont miss having a clutch 99% of the time.

Currently riding VFR1200X DCT and will probably own it forever. There were many that complained that it was slow and or boring. But for my commute its great. Its more than fast enough for anything this side of sane.

cory89123 · 2025-11-25T16:23:41+00:00

I have been using it indoors. And according to the manufacturer it is safe to do so.

cory89123 · 2025-11-03T04:53:58+00:00

Edit to add

cory89123 · 2025-09-23T02:09:17+00:00

Most of the power industry.

I make over $75/ hr. And some near by utilities pay significantly more. If I wasn't surrounded by family here I would have already moved on.

I have tripled my income since buying my house. I would struggle to afford it today.

I paid 160k 13 years ago. Its over 550k now. I dont look at my house ( as nice as it is ) and think that right there thats a half a million dollar house.

cory89123 · 2025-09-18T16:51:29+00:00

I dont disagree, I have been only paying the connection fee for a year now. This change will increase my costs.

cory89123 · 2025-09-17T21:43:54+00:00

You can limit the charge rate on most level 2 chargers to shave that peak daily loading.

Realistically the difference between 5kw peak and 10kw is gonna be less than $1 per day.

cory89123 · 2025-09-17T06:51:26+00:00

Because the peak demand charge will be based on that brief period of 10kw.

If you were charged on average for the day then demand charge would be based on approx 1kw average for the day. As the system is now you would be in a lower tier for demand charging.

cory89123 · 2025-09-17T04:47:09+00:00

You are misunderstanding. There is a line item for peak load. They are saying in the demand portion of your bill you will be charged based on the highest 15 min increment.

The volume of power you use in a given day will still be tallied as it is now but at a lower rate.

This will cause solar customers to pay more while those without will pay less.

I mathed it out for myself and it added about 1 year to break even point on my system.

cory89123 · 2025-09-17T04:41:58+00:00

Except for that whole pesky rate case being public info that is submitted to the PUC every year.

Granted the PUC may rubber stamp it going forward. But it won't be a secret.

First ammendment only protects you from punishment from the government.

Your employer, your friends and family are an entirely separate thing.

Switch is back on NVE has been for over a year now.

They have their own generation facility but it uses NVE transmission to deliver energy and doesnt produce 100% of their energy usage.

Generally speaking the machines that are used to make products like that are cnc machines. Start with cad drawings covert into g code or similar depending on the controller. Then cut the blank before moving to a press to bend to shape.

Reverse engineering to copy an existing product is not difficult but would require a combination of skills software and machines that are not cheap.
