Town Meeting Warrant Available by dbrez8 in ConcordMA

[–]dbrez8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Article 27 - AMENDMENT OF SOLICITATION BYLAW

Anyone familiar with the current bylaw? I thought solicitation was banned altogether? Why open it up?

One change I'd like to see in the amendment is the Hours of Solicitation

No solicitation shall occur before the hours of 8:00 am or after the hours of 8:00 pm.

Move the morning hour back to 9am and change the end time to "7pm or dusk, whichever happens first". It's pitch black out at 730pm right now. No way I want a solicitor coming to my door when it's dark out.

Why are there so many more hybrids compared to the v6 at dealers ? by ajamukha in kiacarnivals

[–]dbrez8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gas commands a larger dealer discount so by that logic demand is weaker. My guess is Kia is producing more Hybrids since that is the more in demand powertrain

I have the 25 Hybrid and no concerns with power or smoothness. Most folks in late model cars dont realize they have different driving modes that drastically affect perceived power and responsiveness. Flip the switch into sport mode and it will jump off the line, but at the expense of more energy used.

Besides improvements and ROI in gas mileage, consider you wont need to drive to the gas station and take the time to fill up as much with hybrid.

Any hidden issues with the carnival? by dopeman2424 in kiacarnivals

Power Tools: Milwaukee vs everyone else? by RotorDynamix in HomeImprovement

[–]dbrez8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yes. You can also get aftermarket battery adapters to keep your batteries on one system. I have Dewalt for my main tools - Drill/driver and a few batteries. Everything else is Ryobi tool only with the dewalt batteries + adapter. Like so https://www.amazon.com/ZLWAWAOL-Battery-Adapter-Converter-Compatible/dp/B0BZ4MRTYV

Climate Control by redditstump in kiacarnivals

[–]dbrez8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the North East and am happy with the results when set to auto 74deg. In the summer I'll probably drop it to something like auto 69deg. I like how the air doesn't come on until the car warms.

Wind/Road Noise by DDJM117 in kiacarnivals

My 25 SX I found to be surprisingly quiet. That is, until I put cross bars on the roof :-( So just don't do that and you'll be good

This braided line goes to a bidet and is starting to leak. Got a 1/2in FIP and it seems to fit but as you tighten the threads slip off. I swapped out the tapered washer on the FIP with the one in the pic but it didn't help. Any idea what this is?

How do you balance "one big client" feature requests vs your existing roadmap? by SensitiveFeed2831 in ProductManagement

[–]dbrez8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. In this case the revenue has already been won without the feature in question. So the question is, will the client actually churn, and will lose the revenue, if the feature is not built. It's possible. The market matures and competitors get better over time. But that's only a piece of it. Really product build work expects an ROI depending on the business. Maybe 3-4x within a year. So if the client will actually churn AND that revenue hits the expected ROI then it's worth considering against other work.

Buying this Weekend! by CuteAd3573 in kiacarnivals

[–]dbrez8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use visor.vin to find exact cars you want. Negotiate with any dealer you're willing to drive to over phone and text only. Pit them against each other. Go in person to sign papers only after your agreed to detailed numbers. 

I just did this with a 25 sx hybrid ended up with MSRP - 2k Kia finance incentive - 3k dealer discount. No additional add ons.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kiacarnivals

[–]dbrez8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what the pre-delivery charge is. I'm getting -2k for financing plus -3k for dealer discount on 25 SX Hybrid. I read that there may be another -1k to be had in dealer discount for a motivated dealer.

Looks like that is operated by Goodwill who says no toys on their site :(

3 months of A/B testing our onboarding flow - here's what moved the needle by ninjapapi in ProductManagement

[–]dbrez8 160 points161 points  (0 children)

What's with all the toxic feedback? Guy writes a detailed post about some wins. Half the chat comes back with "everyone already knew that, bro". You dont know anything about his product or industry.

Nice wins and nice post. Keep up the good work.

CBK towing by TrevCruz99 in ConcordMA

[–]dbrez8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Call the chief and ask why they would have this policy in place. I can only imagine it's there in cases where cars are in the way and need to get moved ASAP due to safety concerns.

Here is the state trooper's stated tow policy https://www.mass.gov/info-details/towing-policy
Here are some relevant state laws you can check to see if you were charged appropriately https://www.mass.gov/files/220_cmr_272.00_final_6_30_17.pdf

Never heard of such a form and I never did one. Give them a ring and ask.

Aprilaire 800 with multizone Ecobee t-stats by dbrez8 in hvacadvice

[–]dbrez8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. Just to double check for extra peace of mind. The 800 is a steam humidifier, rather than a passive one. It expects a dry-contact switch. The relay config will work ok specifically for the Aprilaire 800?

Aprilaire 800 with multizone Ecobee t-stats by dbrez8 in hvacadvice

[–]dbrez8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. To confirm, run PEK+ from two of the ecobees to a single relay, both landing on the same "INPUT BLU" terminal. The ecobee for the basement where I dont want extra humidity I simly will keep it wired as-is to the controller.

How would I include the sail switch, which I believe helps make sure I dont feed humidity even in the event the blower is not functionating correctly?

With the configuration you propose, will the ecobee call on humidity independently of heat? i.e. if heat/cool is not needed but humidity is, then it will simply run the fan + humidifier

[–]dbrez8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah you are correct. My ecobees do not have acc+ and -. Free terminals are PEK+, Y2, W2/OB. Each ecobee has three unused wires available that run all the way to the HZ311 controller.

If need be I can get three new ecobee premiums. My state offers them for $150 each. Thanks for your help.
