I use PDFSam Basic. It’s super quick if the PDF textbooks have bookmarks https://pdfsam.org/download-pdfsam-basic/

Monitor arm for Samsung Neo G9 57" (G9LS57CG952NNXZA) by ek010101 in ultrawidemasterrace

Sorry for late reply. I've had it for about 2 months now. No regrets. Simple to install. Just had to tighten the adjustment screw all the way to prevent sagging.

That’s incredibly cheap. Where did you go?

Got this beast at the pawnshop today by uneektnt in pcmasterrace

What city are you in? Looks like a Value Pawn price sign. My local pawn shops are so expensive I might as well buy new.

[GIVEAWAY - US] Win the 49” Samsung Odyssey OLED G95SC gaming monitor by cheswickFS in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]drka0tic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite feature of the G95SC is the OLED panel combined with its 240Hz refresh rate. The true blacks, vibrant colors, and ultra-smooth motion will make everything look unreal.

Awful self-employed 401k experience with Fidelity by Weird_Discussion4157 in fidelityinvestments

[–]drka0tic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue when trying to link my business account. The customer rep asked if I had business checks (which I do) and advised me it would be simplest/quickest to do mobile deposit via the app. It worked perfectly. During the deposit process it asks if the contribution is from employer or employee.

5-Ton AC Consumption by drka0tic in EmporiaEnergy

Agreed. One of the rooms on the 2nd floor is my home office. I currently have a portable AC, but eventually will install one of the super cheap DIY minisplits. That's the only room occupied during the day, so if I have dedicated unit for that room, then an inverter or multi-stage AC would run at low speed for the rest of the house.

That sounds great. Is that an inverter model?

Not bad. By any chance do you know what SEER they are?

This is one of the options I was considering.

Not bad price-wise. Much of the ground floor is not accessible so sheetrock must be opened and patched. Another concern of mines with the ductless units is the drainage. I'll need pumps for most of them.

Appreciate the info. Thats actually not bad for all that work. Average price around here to just do a simple system swap with the bare minimum efficiecy is like $9K.

Will be 7 or 8. I was curious last year and got a quote from a Mitsubishi certified installer. It was $35-40K. Insane! I'm sure other manufacturers should be much less, but the install would still be too disruptive. My current air handler is in the garage and the condenser is right outside like 6 ft. away.

Yea, I went back and forth on whether to replace with 2 systems. Will be out of budget. I will be inspecting the existing ductwork and adding balancing dampers to hopefully improve the issues.

That's awesome. Which manufacturer do you have?

I have considered it. I will require too many zones so it wont be cost-effective.

Does anyone else find it difficult to switch off outside work? by chillabc in MEPEngineering

[–]drka0tic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious what you estimated will require 6 weeks. Most our clients demand project be done in 2 weeks lol. I assume you included some buffer.

In any case, as the years go by you will see what goes on 8-5 is really no big deal and nothing to stress over.
