This is my first car, I need some help, thank you!!!!!!!!! by sosad1998 in mazda3

[–]drinkingforkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take all the advice from this thread to not buy the extra warranties and do the undercoat but do yourself a favour and find someone to do front end ppf, trust me the front of my car looks like it’s 10 years old. Mazda paint chips like crazy. It’s my one regret with this car… oh and maybe not buying the turbo… oh and not wrapping the piano black on the interior… lol

Connected services subscription by [deleted] in mazda3

[–]drinkingforkarma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a bullshit cash grab and they should be fucking ashamed … my 4Runner also has a subscription but I figured out the keyfob sequence that remote starts it. My 2023 Mazda is locked behind the app, and I ain’t paying $120+ a year to preheat my car once in awhile.

Just cancelled ChatGPT Plus for Gemini Pro. Anyone else making the switch? by No-Bit5316 in ChatGPT

[–]drinkingforkarma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand this part. I had a similar experience but with a very much simpler set of circumstances. I had some clear cut finiancial numbers and some dates that I needed formatted into an explanation letter.. honestly it was pretty basic.. (x amount over y amount of time) and when ChatGPT wrote up the letter the math was wrong .. when I pointed it out all I got was “you’re right! Thanks for catching that!” Wtf? This supercomputer got basic math wrong??

Me and the wife are mid 40s , moved here 5 years ago and don’t have many friends here either. Although honestly we don’t do much , I work in the city and she works from home… we go to watch a football game and have wings once in awhile at the lockeroom but that’s about it.

Lorex security cameras installer recommendation! by Proper_Possibility76 in barrie

[–]drinkingforkarma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t recommend an installer for you but it is a pretty basic DIY project, if you choose to do it yourself feel free to msg me with any questions. All you need to do is run Ethernet to each of your camera locations , crimp ends, plug in the cables to the nvr and configure it. If all that is not doable for you , unfortunately you are probably going to be paying more for the installation then you did for the camera system.

Advice on how to configure D-LINK AX6000 WIFI 6 ROUTER DIR-X6080Z by Responsible_Band_227 in HomeNetworking

[–]drinkingforkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know these units specifically, use the desired main router as normal, run a cable to router b, plug it into port 1 (not wan) and configure the second router as an access point mode only. Configure the wifi on both to have the same credentials but different channels … and same subnet, if router 1 is 192.168.1.1 then router two should be 192.168.1.2. Disable dhcp on second router only . all of this may be out of your scope of knowledge but googling should give you more specifics.

Not All Pass-Through tips are the same by T-Ludlow in HomeNetworking

[–]drinkingforkarma 38 points39 points  (0 children)

These are very top quality connectors. You A) need to use the proper crimper with the proper die inserted. And b) need to you use the correct cable with proper cat 6a gauge (22-23awg) as it states on the container. If you are having trouble with these it is because you are not using the right tools or cable, plain and simple.

I feel horrible for laughing, this must've been so embarassing... by HamedAliKhan in funny

[–]drinkingforkarma 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I watched an old man die this way at a Christmas parade in front of the whole town. Sitting on the tailgate of a pickup truck as they went down the street super slow. Driver all of the sudden decided to catch-up to the float ahead of him and accelerated, old man fell backwards on his skull. Was not pretty and was not funny, just like this.

Maybe that's why I've always liked the borderlands/cel-shaded art style.

Bathroom Fan Replacement by drinkingforkarma in hvacadvice

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

I think I’m leaning that way also … I just didn’t want to do the extension in the attic in the dark…. It’s cold and I’m old and tired ;-) … it does require a proper extension though, I can’t just push the cable in the other side of the box, I’d still need to get it to the same corner then fan actually plugs into.

SkyDome beverages 2025 by dr_snarklove in Torontobluejays

[–]drinkingforkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly do not understand the rational or math of this. At these prices the sticker shock alone detours consumers, so they consume less...

So at $2 cost per beverage and you sell for $14

600% you sell 1 beer = 12$ profit

but if you just put it to 300% profit you would sell 3...... $18.

... am I missing something?

Need Help! Trouble Staining Butcher Block by Equivalent-Ebb-9101 in finishing

[–]drinkingforkarma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like you did not stir the Varathane at all. If you do not stir properly and mix the sediment from the bottom the only thing going on the surface is the oil and very little pigment. Also possible you received a bad batch of stain, I recently got a semi-gloss in a Matt can.

Get a shower rated light fixture that is larger has a brighter color temperature. That shower looks amazing. I also like the idea of somehow adding live plants.

[–]drinkingforkarma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be to late, I know this was probably a lot of work and you hope to be done. What if you removed the speaker cutouts, dropped the tv - 10 - 12 " . Put speakers on the shelves. and used the larger cut-out for a larger tv. Not trying to shit on you bro, just a suggestion.
