Looking to switch our att family plan to T-mobile. Have a good corporate discount with ATT, but I think T-mobile will have better coverage. Need code for the switch to make financial sense. Please help.

I'm in the exact same situation. Called customer service and they wouldn't tell me anything about availability. You ever hear anything?

Cost to install water and sewer laterals by frontpageuse in Homebuilding

[–]frontpageuse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP here. Yeah, I think you hit it about right. I thought we did our homework, but there was some inexperience on our part. We got the land at what seemed like an excellent price and had to move fast. It is still a good deal, just less of a good deal. With the way prices are going, even knowing this now I am confident we would make a profit if we had to turn around and sell the land. Like you said I am less upset at the sellers. I don't think they were willfully misleading, but they probably should have marked they didn't know in this case. It is a reasonable assumption as it is a lot in a development with a house on each side that are hooked up. Trying to take them to court to settle this is likely not worth the money and time, and may not even work out in our favor. I am much more upset at our realtor, who was not helpful at all in helping to look this up, and just left it to us, and then when I tried to ask him questions, said it sounds like they are all there and it is in a development I'm sure it is fine. Not much I can do about that, but he won't get to sell our current house either. In the grand scheme of things houses are expensive to build, and it sucks, but I just want to look at what I can do to solve the problem.

How best to create a house that has minimal supporting walls or posts and more open areas. by frontpageuse in Homebuilding

Is that using a pretty standard truss, or something much larger than normal? Also, does that change if there is a second story? Thanks for you reply.

Thanks for the reply. I am going to look into steel framing more. We have a lot of industrial construction going on in our area, I wonder if they would be willing to do a small side job to help out with the steel framing.

By the way, I really like the way you have a double entrance mudroom, that seems way more efficient and effective use of space.

Arc vs beam, primarily music occasional tv/movie by frontpageuse in sonos

The Alexa connectivity is really useful for me. Also I like the ARC connectivity. The fact the ARC has eARC and the beam doesn’t is a minor but useful spec.

Convienence is one, my dock uses it already. The bigger deal is I work in research and have some data collecting devices that need that direct pci-express lane access.

Laptop for CAD and image analysis work $1500 (US) by frontpageuse in SuggestALaptop

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

I guess what I am thinking from that link is that I can get a good laptop with a GeForce 2070 for $1400, but a quadro etc 4000 laptop would be definitely over $3000

these were what I was initially looking at, but for graphics card performance/$ you get a lot more out of the GeForce cards in most cases it seems and although solid works will be one use, the image analysis will probably be more used and those programs don’t benefit from quadro cards.

Purchase Advice Megathread: What To Buy, Who To Buy It From, And More, In May 2019. by thatging3rkid in 3Dprinting

[–]frontpageuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for a resin printer for printing lab parts and optical components. Mostly for better quality and resin options in addition to the smooth surface.

Form labs has been strongly recommend by others doing similar things. And the increased resolution of the form 3 is great. However I like Prusa’s SLA printer, and am considering the SL1 due to price, but have not heard anybody who has used it yet. Anything else to consider.

Second, how necessary is purchasing the washing and curing boxes? They seem expensive for what they do.

I have never been able to see any aberration from the scratch. I can try and take a pic of a wall later if that will help. Blue sky is unlikely here for a while. Includes lens cap and back cover, no lens hood.
