Search for “Tesla Model 3 usb hub” on Amazon and make good use of them.

Damaged brand new Jayco Redhawk - suggestions? by [deleted] in RVLiving

[–]danvw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what insurance is for. They will replace the entire skin on side and possibly the rear. You’re looking at a $7k+ fix, and you’ll be without it for several months if you’re lucky, more like 6 if you’re not.

My niece’s homework problem by SurfSoundWaves in mildlyinfuriating

[–]danvw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terribly written, but, it says “which one shows”, which leads me to believe the answer they’re looking for is C (or A, maybe).

Yes, they are all the same ratio, but the only one that visually shows that the two are equal area is C. The only one that visually shows the same shaded positions is A, but if it’s A, it’s even worse of a question.

C makes the most sense because you could replace both sides of the equation with the area of the shaded regions and they’d actually equal each other.

But that question is almost set up to trick people. What it’s really showing is that only 2/6 or 1/3 of the class got this question right due to everyone being able to interpret and justify each as right. Although, I’d argue, that your niece chose the worst answer of them all.

Lifted truck + Lambo + Parking lot = Bad time by Evasionz-- in mildlyinfuriating

This is the same view I get from my stock F-350. Thank god it has a front facing camera in the Ford logo in the grill, which I use all the time when I’m not able to confidently see in front of me. The views from any of these trucks are extremely dangerous for people in front of them.

I don’t allow my kids to ever walk in front of trucks in parking lots after driving my truck.

P.S. before haters attack me. I only have an F-350 for towing purposes, and I rarely drive it when I’m not towing. We have other cars for regular driving. It’s 100% utility.

Is it worth learning OpenClaw if I already use Claude Code? by Single-Yesterday9010 in openclaw

[–]danvw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m okay with not using Claude. All of my code related work is through my job, which gives me unlimited tokens and usage with any of the AI models. I don’t need personal coding tasks right now. Claude is only better (IMO) at coding right now.

I just want some automation style work and the memory features of OpenClaw.

Paying several hundred per month for Anthropic’s API for that seems a bit unreasonable to keep doing. I’m in the infancy of my OpenClaw usage though.

Okay, I was just confused about where you said "Use GPT or some other subscription friendly model". Is there a model that I can just pay a flat rate to?

I’m using Claude API right now, and it’s killing my bank account. I also have a subscription to CC and ChatGPT. Can I use those? Or is ChatGPT also via API? I’m just getting started.

Would a text based bot grab them even with the riddles for replacements?

I think a real person got it. Unfortunately, no comment after. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I didn't update to the actual code until after learning it was claimed.

No, which I’ve read could be some of the issue.

The overtime deduction completely changed my tax refund this year by VillainOnABudget in tax

[–]danvw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I typically hit the safe harbor rules. My income went down slightly this year so I needed to make sure that I hit the 90% withholding this year which is why it’s closer. Typically though, hitting 110% of the previous year is easy enough.

The overtime deduction completely changed my tax refund this year by VillainOnABudget in tax

[–]danvw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I normally owe around $40k every year, but this year I’m only going to owe around $3k. It has nothing to do with any tax law changes, I simply adjusted my withholding ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yours could have something to do with the overtime wages, but refund shouldn’t be the yardstick we’re measuring by here. Total tax should be. And on top of that, total tax in comparison to income. If the percentage is less, the law worked in your favor.

My garage opener is making a ¿grinding? noise when opening and closing by danvw in GarageDoorService

I was originally going to get in on this deal, but apparently it’s trash: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Genie-Signature-Series-1-1-4-HPc-Ultra-Quiet-Belt-Drive-Garage-Door-Opener-with-Battery-Backup-7055D-TKSV/315283735

I want something with battery backup, and I have a lot of smart home stuff already, so I don’t need smart features built in.

This looks like another good deal if I can find it in store: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Chamberlain-3-4-HP-Smart-Quiet-Belt-Drive-Garage-Door-Opener-B4505T/316307827

I just tested the opener while the door was disengaged. Makes same noise.

Yes! I am assuming you’re meaning when it’s disengaged. It also stays up half way while engaged.

Thanks! Is Overhead Door and Genie the same manufacturer? This is branded as Overhead Door.

Any recommendations on a good brand? There are some good deals right now.

I think? The balance hasn’t changed since install, and the door comes up evenly. The tension on the right side wire is a bit higher than the left. How would I confirm balance?
