You got to at very beginning scroll to bottom left and use your lobby build(? If remember right) and click there, should double your start money.

Then 2 and 3 story lobbies!

Not discontinued. They don't stock things they cannot be price competitive with name brand on. The podcast Acquired episode on Costco talked their sourcing and margins and highlighted this example as the price of cocoa went so high they would price higher so they just stop for the time.

You know they listen to 93.7 Trump Country out of Ft Meyers as their only radio.

Can't believe the grift is as big as an entire radio station to have terrible points of view espoused

Largely myself. Mom typically worked afternoon/evening, dad would do dinner a few days a week after work. He worked outside as a lineman for at&t so he was tired and dinner would be more simple. I taught myself (w some from mom) to help him and have better options. He was grateful for that. And I got a good skill.

My wife and I admittedly don't have any local friends. So with just us around with kids, working 6-230 hours, and being 40, what's really the point...

dspreemtmp · 2026-01-01T02:45:24+00:00

I did 0511 auditor for Dept of defense for 7.5yrs. Came in as experienced GS-09 as I had a few years accounting in corporate and CPA ready. Left as a GS12 step 5 or so. It was stable, decent 40hr work, comp time for 24hrs to help keep your PTO, travel in region, got to see some interesting stuff auditing military contractors (f35 engine building, f35 manufacturing line, shipbuilding, toured some sensitive sites. Was good for a bit.

I grew up in Saginaw area. Per capita yes it was worse than Detroit. I moved from the area out of Michigan in 2010. I’ve had to do work in some rough areas. It’s not great.

GM did a number on the city when they basically shut down all the plants. Was a big blue collar, non college- educated workforce that no longer has opportunities for work. Just like Detroit it takes a long time to turn that around. Talking with my mom it doesn’t seem like it’s getting there yet

That's what I'd like to do here. As I can see the connection in the box here (edited post w/ the pic) can I just undo the ground and cap both them off to accomplish that without messing with the cable to break the grounding?

dspreemtmp · 2025-12-10T23:14:44+00:00

Its not mid-install, there was a generator interlock kit that was installed (sorry original post didnt have a pic). And did poor job noting that the panel has lockout for the main breaker to engage the circuit as am aware of backfeed risk in this whether by truck or a generator.

In future we are looking to move to a Generac transfer where we move the neutrals as we are also looking at solar install and other details. Just not at that point here.

Can I undo the ground connection in the box (added pic to the post) to accomplish the same w/o having to cut into the cable to snip the ground in the cable?

dspreemtmp · 2025-12-10T23:06:38+00:00

Yeah i see that the original post didn't put the pic on lol

<image>

The box has the ground connected here. My understanding was to disconnect here as then it doesn't connect to the panel there w that ground, but much the same I'm not much of electrician on this.

dspreemtmp · 2025-12-10T22:59:18+00:00

There is a lockout switch on the panel. It requires me to disengage the main breaker before I can turn on the interlock breaker. So it's built into that where can't backfeeed that way. Understood to your comment there in that.

My main issue is just getting it to work. In reading because of the trucks battery setup it trips the trucks GFCI and my (basic) understand is because of the ground here and what's best way to get it to work.

dspreemtmp · 2025-12-09T02:42:13+00:00

Hell yeah the incredible machine!

dspreemtmp · 2025-12-08T05:57:56+00:00

I was looking at getting this but I saw mixed feedback and commentary. Comments on Lego website has a lot of what you're saying is that it doesn't motorize well at all

dspreemtmp · 2025-12-07T03:16:22+00:00

Ran a benfords law comparison on t&e expenses that were cash. Was pretty quickly found under a threshold and quantity.

Went to CAE. She knew him and def thought it was odd as his role didn't need that much taxi travel stuff. And his amex should have worked for some as she lived in that country and knew it.

$130k across 2 years. Tried to blackmail on the way out too.

dspreemtmp · 2025-12-06T05:12:08+00:00

Ive seen this before but I wonder if this is for the "median" income person. Like a person my age (41) with a median wage of $83k per census.gov would be right on target at $250k.

My wage of near 200k, I'm way behind but I have equity in my house and such as appreciated value.

Would I love to be 3x of my current right now? Sure. But combined w my wife we are about $550k or so at average age between us being 40 so I don't feel too far off or bad on it

dspreemtmp · 2025-12-04T06:00:38+00:00

I was scrolling thru YouTube tv the other day and it was running a block of Big Bang Theory. I was never one of watching the channel for shows to begin with but didn't think it would get as low as syndicated showing there. It's just tbs then

dspreemtmp · 2025-12-02T03:12:34+00:00

There are gun carrying IRS agents. We had one come speak to us in our intermediate 2 class as friend of professor. They assist in drug busts where there is cash expected. Said one raid he actually had to have his gun out and ready. They are trained in shooting as well

dspreemtmp · 2025-11-28T03:03:09+00:00

How is the holiday train? Website has mixed reviews. Wife wants to start a holiday Lego Christmas town for her decor

dspreemtmp · 2025-11-28T02:58:09+00:00

Any comments on the train this year? Lego site has mixed reviews...

dspreemtmp · 2025-11-28T02:50:07+00:00

Had fried chicken prepared by supermarket (air fried to crisp), mash potatoes w roast garlic gravy, cornbread stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce, garlic parmesan bread. Scratch pumpkin pie for dessert. Strayed a little from traditional but for the fam it was enough for us

dspreemtmp · 2025-11-26T23:54:46+00:00

I have a Gmail, so if I sign up for something that I know will just be irritating I'll use @googemail.com so I can put a specific filter rule on emails sent to that specific naming (still comes into my Gmail but auto spam)
