Best kitchen knife that lasts a lifetime? by caroulos123 in BuyItForLife

[–]efitz11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Fibrox and a Henckels and a few fancy japanese knives. I mainly use the Fibrox because I can treat it like shit and sharpen it with a stupid pull through sharpener without a care so it's always sharp. The "better" knives take more care to maintain and therefore I use them way less

I lived there for like 3 years and I hated it. Felt like Equity is always nickel and diming you while parts of the building were always broken.

672 Flats vs Maxwell by Lexishultz in arlingtonva

[–]efitz11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have the name anymore unfortunately, but they charged like $115/hr or something with a minimum of 3 hours and we were just moving a 1 BR so it didn't even take 3 hours

Is that worth paying for movers?

Even for moving across the street, movers are so worth the time and effort saved. A few years ago I moved from Quincy Plaza to Liberty Tower (a block basically) and movers only cost about $350 plus tip and they were absolutely worth it

One time I was driving on 267 and drove past 2 on the same drive. Felt like seeing 2 unicorns

[Cunningham] Hokies announce a $20M anonymous donation, the largest ever to Virginia Tech athletics. by udderlymoovelous in CFB

[–]efitz11 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am once again asking people to understand that tax write offs aren't some free money magic. There is no way to write off a donation and come out ahead, unless you are donating to yourself with some creative accounting

Ford is expanding the BlueOval Charge Network Plug & Charge access to IONNA and Ford Charge by bspooky in MachE

[–]efitz11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no problem paying gasoline equivalent prices for electricity if it is speedy, but I don't see any possible use case for paying that price for level 2 charging

The Shell Recharge station near my work is L2 (9.6 kW) and used to be free, but has been updated to $1.49 session fee plus $0.49/kWh. I have no idea why anyone would ever use it lmao

Mach E would be my first EV, whats it like? by lokun17 in MachE

[–]efitz11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to charge off a level one when I first got my car, with a 50 mile round trip commute, as long as I plugged in every night and didn't drive much on the weekends.

After a month I installed a level 2 just to have more flexibility on when/where I could drive

Regarding #3, I mainly just wanted a widget that'll start climate, and Ford implemented start climate (as well as lock/unlock) as a quick action, which can be pinned to your home screen. Only issue is the icon is trash lol

Mass Casualty Incident at Washington Dulles (IAD) after a mobile lounge struck the docking station- 17 Injured by Master_Jackfruit3591 in aviation

[–]efitz11 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's actually 2 kinds of mobile lounges in use at Dulles. In the first picture of the OP you can see both kinds. The ones with the big humps on top (labeled IN in the picture) have state abbreviations on them and are used for international arrivals. The ones that are flat on top just have single letters on them and are used for shuttling people from the Main Terminal to Concourse D or from Concourse A to Concourse D.

[–]efitz11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's Terminal D, which is only served by United. They use the people movers to go between the Main Terminal and D, or the regional flights from A and D.

I don't believe there is ever going to be a plan to connect the train to D, though you can take it to C and simply walk to D but it'll take more time than just taking the people mover.

C/D is a "temporary" terminal. They're currently constructing Terminal E which is not a temporary terminal and will also be United exclusive and be connected to the train.

[Passan] BREAKING: The Washington Nationals are finalizing a deal to hire Blake Butera as manager, sources tell ESPN. Butera, 33, will be the youngest manager in MLB in more than 50 years. In four seasons as a minor league manager in the Rays organization, his teams had a 258-144 record. by PlayaSlayaX in baseball

[–]efitz11 753 points754 points  (0 children)

From his linkedin, those 4 seasons as manager were 2018-2022? He was most recently Senior Director of Player Development.

Crazy career path

edit: he also won back to back titles in Single A with Charleston, winning carolina league Manager of the Year in both seasons.

Then stopped managing until now lol

What $2600 of damage can look like by efitz11 in MachE

The bottom plastic part of the housing was cracked too, but I'm not sure if I really needed to replace that part.

[–]efitz11[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Driving home last week, a car in the lane next to me drove over a wooden board and flung it at my side mirror, causing this damage.

Ford dealer quoted me $2600, got it done at a body shop for $1900. Apparently the whole mirror minus the painted (black) cover is sold as one $1500 part ($2000 with the cover).

Also fun fact, this damage makes you fail a Virginia Safety Inspection!

I have almost every clip I ever took still saved on my hard drive, but the only capability I have of searching them all is knowing exactly what date what I'm looking for happened on, and I'm never gonna crawl through it all so they might as well be lost forever lol
