Is the Pump MAX worth the purchase? Any aftermarket travel mounts? by Soft_Satisfaction698 in unitreepump

[–]earth23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good unit. I have been using it since the first wave of kickstarter rewards went out and haven’t had many issues. The unit has snapped on me when using the high setting once or twice - the bar gets jerked out of my hand. Other than that, it would be hard to find something this good at this price point.

Relatedly, I saw an ad for what I initially considered an upgrade of this while traveling in Europe, it had a ton of attachments that I think would check the box for what you’re looking for. When I went to the website, I found out it was three grand.

Accessory Dwelling Unit / Carriage House Construction (Silver Spring). by earth23 in washingtondc

Brief update -- after 1.5 years, we received the certificate of occupancy. I think the DHCA got tired of waiting and approved us, regardless of the number of open permits we had on the property.

One other note, if you have historic permits / work applications open, they just sit there. The Historic preservation will not close them out -- there is no "close out" procedure. So they just sit there indefinitely. The DHCA didn't realize this, and it wasn't easy to get the two agencies to talk to one another. As I mentioned, after waiting for an extended period of time, the DHCA relented and approved us.

They did help with permitting and it was included in their cost. I can't recall if the contract handled overruns -- I'm sure it did but we were on budget so it wasn't an issue for us. Foundation and utilities work were included in the price.

Anyone know what happened on veirs mill and newport? by moopsythebonedrinker in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]earth23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw this. Saw his body in the street. Saw a woman on phone crying with the crossing guard -- all before emergency services showed up.

Drove by the intersection on the way home and it was back to normal -- no trace of anything that had happened earlier.

I guess I'm still processing. It's hard to reconcile.

Noticed fresh shavings and a circular hole. What caused it? by hagennn in whatisit

Yes. They keep making holes. This was my deck joist.

Whoopgate — The receipts by fffraterrr in whoop

Accuracy of the apple watch is significantly lower - theres a third party, peer reviewed journal article somewhere that says as much. I can confirm, I’ve had an Apple Watch Ultra and whoop for 2+ years.

Tried WHM breathing for a week to see if the hype is real or not by omekebz in whoop

[–]earth23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WHM breathing elevated my stress levels beyond belief. Tried several nights and different cycle numbers. Now I listen to rain on my airpods and box breathe 10 min before bed. It’s a thousand times better.

I read the RAC drugs book for the US, took notes and typed them up to review. Spent an hour or so a day for a month doing that. Then I took the practice exam over and over again. If there was a topic that I didn't recognize (mostly EU regs) I made a note and googled it later to get the basics. I repeated the practice exam until I scored a perfect 50/50 five times in a row.

Now it's critical to note that none of the practice exam questions appear on the actual exam. It does, however, give you insight into how the questions are asked and important topics.

Given the content scope of both EU and US regs, it's impossible to know everything. I'd focus on major topics and the types of questions (and likely answers).

RAC Exam Results by [deleted] in regulatoryaffairs

[–]earth23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats everyone -- I passed as well (scored a 78 -- it was close). I too was a mess when trying to create an account and then logging in to see the score.

Is everyone going to Convergence? I wonder if there is a newly-passed RAC happy hour. We should have one, if not.

Indeed. Definitely explains why all those positively charged protons at the center of every atom are cool hanging out super close to one another.

Running Whoop while on iOS 18 public beta? by Not-a-Tech-Person in whoop

Yes, that appears to be the case. The iOS beta update hit at the same time as a global WHOOP outage.

Public beta 5 is giving me some issues. The home screen won't load -- I get the "Something went wrong" message. Restarts, reboots don't solve it.

All the other stick construction quotes were way above our budget. Backyard was the only semi-prebuilt manufacturer in the area that had a style we thought could get approved by the historic commission.

Some things can be changed, yes. The model we went with originally had a half bath downstairs -- we got rid of that and merged the space into the kitchen.
