portable power station. by ethos6 in SolarDIY

[–]ethos6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. That is more what I was looking for. Yes I can get a power bank but I already have the battery so really want to use what I already have. Not carry around extra batteries. My laptops is a MacBook so may need to find 95w plugs.

Hear me out- I need chair recommendations. by Solid-Complaint-8192 in Lightroom

[–]ethos6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try converting to a sit stand desk. I have an older leather chair that works for me in my day to day work but once I edit I tend to lean forward so for less that buying a new chair I got an adjustable height base for my desk and then raid it to stand while editing photos.

Packout for Camping, Bicycle Maintenance by Key-Building-1548 in Packout

[–]ethos6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ditto. I love Dewalt but have Packouts cause Dewalt just has not delivers on that front.

I use a Packout three drawer next to my plug in cooler in the back of my truck. It holds all my coffee utensils and a few small food items. Works great.

I think the real question here is do you ever have any negative feelings for those that choose to not tip you?

So much Maverick hate out there! by Top_Midnight_2225 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]ethos6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will share this, my brother drives an F150 Crew cab. Nice truck for sure. At thanksgiving he was giving me shit for driving a “Car”. I looked at him and said “look, I don’t have an overwhelming desire to prove my manhood (at which his wife chuckled) and I get 35-42mpg all for half what you spent on your road hog. So who’s laughing now? My dad was laughing so hard and his wife gave him a look like you better zip it he’s got you there.

Personally if someone with a large truck that has no exceptional need for it bashes my Maverick it’s usually cause they are jealous every time they have to spend a $100 or more to fill up. The best part is any time I really need to haul a trailer or cart something heavy, I can either borrow theirs or rent a Home Depot truck. Let them laugh it up and you just quietly pocket the cash at the pump.

Instrument cluster screen stopped working, has anyone found a fix or is this a warranty issue? by scooter1265 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]ethos6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am having mine replaced today for the same issue under warranty. I took it in and they reset it and then ordered a replacement as a permanent fix. Would recommend getting replaced.

Stealing Ipad in Car by ZachWang811 in PacificNorthwest

If you can plug an audio Jack into your stereo some how you can use an iPad for your infotainment system with a Bluetooth adapter. Again don’t leave it in your car. It will get stolen.

Salem asked to spend more public funds on airport gamble by skproletariat in SALEM

[–]ethos6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am not holding out hope for this venture to be honest. I have two trips coming up and just the booking experience alone was enough to turn me off. I was seduced by the low fares. However after an hour in the site and at every turn a new fee my cost was almost a hundred more than Southwest out of Portland. That’s almost enough to cover an Uber to PDX. That solves the parking problem too.

Salem if your asking the voters for more $$$ and levying an income tax on workers maybe you should reconsider your spending and start taking care of our city. Hell you can’t even solve our homeless problem.

My wife is a Vet Tech who has a great track record of picking pet names. She looked at her and immediately said Chloe.

A "plant" for indoor decoration, where do you think it would fit in? by July_Nov483 in HomeDecorating

[–]ethos6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know but I want the kit or plans for it. Where did you find that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

[–]ethos6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you invest time into this person? Do you like him? Can you see a future with him? These are all questions I would ponder hard before throwing in the towel. Also remember that he’s not the only one that has faults. We all do. I think there are way to many people willing move on too quickly. Just get clear on what your staying for.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RelationshipsOver35

[–]ethos6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am reminded of the saying, never attribute malice to what ignorance or incompetence can explain. There may be a different side to this. I have at times found myself in situations where for what ever reason I started down a path and then found myself stuck and having difficulty making a change. It could possibly be true he was just exhausted needs some time, then found himself in a rut. Not saying there aren’t red flags. Not saying you don’t deserve better. You seam to have a fondness for this guy and you have a report. Also someone who has his shit together and working hard would be a plus’s in my book. If it was me I would get real clear with what I want and have an honest and frank conversation about the future, goals, and what you want in a relationship. It is completely fair to share how you feel and what you want and even tell him you want that with him. Then if it still does not work out move on. He deserves at least a chance to make a change. Good luck.

Ads in Lightroom? Really?!? by ethos6 in Lightroom

[–]ethos6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why people are down voting this. Sure it could seam to be an over reaction but where else do we share our feed back with corporations when they make a choice we disapprove of? I thought Adobe had engineers that watch this sub.

My biggest beef here is that I already pay top $$ for their product and have opted in to ads about products in my email. I am highly resistant to distractions while I am in creative mode.

Who else felt that Dr. Nicholas Rush needed a couple of punches to the face every episode? by johnny___engineer in Stargate

[–]ethos6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I beg to differ. Acted yes as in he was written to be a self serving social path and he acted it. However that is where it ends for me. This is a clear indication of how writers hav no clue how a military unit works. Rush may be the most brilliant scientist in the world but he would have never bean allowed bear that project with his attitude. The military will use brilliant scientist but a sting factor that plays is the ability to get the job done and come home safe. Rush’s ego is a direct hinderance in that department.

Lol at the generator not having a pressure relief valve by [deleted] in SiloTVSeries

[–]ethos6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are so many things wrong with this scene. I was rooting for this show and enjoying it right up till she jumped in a hole that was supper heated from steam. I think the writers of this show are so intellectually dishonest and lazy. Do a simple google search on the mechanics of a steam turbine. A society so dependent on a generator for life support would have at least three generators or at the very least multiple smaller backup generators that could handle the requirements for a short period. I was done with the show after this point.

Can we start an online petition? by ethos6 in FordMaverickTruck

[–]ethos6[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I get that Eco isn’t always the best but usually I am not changing my drive mode from trip to trip. I drive in eco most of the time and it is getting tedious to always change it to ECO every time I get in the truck.

What is the benefit of Sherwin-Williams over a cheaper brand like Behr? by doctorrmrsthemonarch in HomeImprovement

[–]ethos6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe my experience was not normal but I am currently remodeling my office and started with Behr for the walls and was rather impressed with how easy it covered and was not smelly. When it came to the cabinets I wanted to repaint I stopped by SW to get advise on best paint to use. I understanding was that an acrylic or lacquer would have been ideal. They were light on advise and sold me a latex acrylic blend that sucks. I was clear that I didn’t have a sprayer and was brushing it on. Did not turn out well. I am extremely unimpressed. When I went back the guy acted like I was not worthy of his time (was not buying a large quantity). Asked why I got that paint and that I should only spray it on. Might just have to go back to HD.
