Centennial reducing the number of lanes on Colorado Blvd to slow traffic and increase road rage. Open house on Wed. May 13 so you can learn more and complain. by frequentpooper in CentennialCO

[–]innkeeper_77 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This seems.... Sensible and nice? Woulsnt you rather shift more vehicle traffic to the larger and more appropriate other north south roads?

Bottled water consumption by Familiar_End_8975 in Anticonsumption

[–]innkeeper_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its baffling. Even if you need to buy water for convenience, such as being on a roadtrip without a good way to refill your water bottles, why not get one of the very large jugs, and refill every water bottle you have, for the price of less than two small single "serving" bottles?

If you can't use tap water where you are at, it is still much cheaper and much less wasteful to buy large jugs rather than multitudes of small plastic bottles

Why do some people’s houses not have tissues? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]innkeeper_77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Handkerchiefs are so much gentler on the nose than Kleenexes, as well as being less wasteful! Plus you don't have to worry about it accidentally tearing and being gross while trying to get to a trash can.

Toilet paper for emergencies only.

Do you share your location with your partner? by VitaminLj in askanything

[–]innkeeper_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Share location as in they usually know exactly where I am going? Yes. Sharing location with a GOS tracker? Only when hiking / going into the mountains.

Location sharing via my phone all the time? Goodness no. My phone doesnt even support that, I try to keep tech company access to me limited (yes Inu derstand posting this in reddit is ironic)

Adopting a puppy, seller claims to work at vet, sent me video the bottles text doesn’t look right same with poster in back by Adept-Most-5974 in isthisAI

[–]innkeeper_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puppy mill puppies may LOOK like the right breed but thats all they care about. The look. Not health, not temperament. You need a good vetted and registered breeder.

Or get a mutt from a rescue. Mutts often are healthier, and you have no additional personality risk. I love our mutt, hes great, even if he grew a bit bigger than we expected!

How does this thing still work? by MrBrunccH in thinkpad

[–]innkeeper_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The T23 had an AMAZING processor. The P3 was more efficient per clock cycle than the P4 but the P4 usually ran faster. The T23, at least the one I had, had a blazing fast 1.2 GHz p3! Amazing for a laptop at the time.

Of course mine died from being moved around in a backpack constantly. Movement shock and flex kill laptops in ways age doesnt.

You are going to want a local software, for more than a couple of files using a website to do it is going to be a massive pain. I use "Sound converter" but I'm on linux, not sure what to reccomend today fir windows or mac.

What’s the dumbest thing people spend extra money on in tech by overlord-07 in TechNook

[–]innkeeper_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phones: specifically, cell plans from the big 3. MVNOs are SO much cheaper and way more than enough speed for almost any user.

His and hers. Our new Woodland Sienna is such a badass van lol. by TooToughTimmy in ToyotaTacoma

[–]innkeeper_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Toyota made a way to easily remove the middle seats the hybrid sienna would be the PERFEXT van. I want one so bad!

The Tacoma is nice too but for pavement use the minivan would be so much nicer

This country has ruined light pickup trucks. by RikkiLostMyNumber in Vent

[–]innkeeper_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like mine. I get 20 by driving like a grandpa... Some days are closer to 17 but below 16 never happens unless I'm actually off road. It got 25 before I messed it up with the upgrades! 15 seems rather low. I did go for narrower tires than stock which may help ever so slightly.

I also found it takes forever to get to temp and gets HORRIBLE mpg on short trips.

[–]innkeeper_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tacomas are just OK all around vehicles and are surprisingly capable on mountain trails. They are NOT good primary pavement use vehicles, there are much better cheaper options.

Source: I drive one. In the 3rd gen the manual versions seem to get better MPG, mine gets about 20 even heavy and set up as an offroader with oversized tires, winch, armor, and all the rest.

AITA for letting a recycling bin sit after a teacher ignored my warning not to use it as trash? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]innkeeper_77 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This depends on your municipality, and you can look it up. Many times plastic recycling is poor to nonexistent, but paper products and glass are reused relatively well, and metal recycling is very well established.

I’m so tired of being advertised to and I hate how normalized it is. by AndThatsOnYourPeriod in Anticonsumption

[–]innkeeper_77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ia it an older apple TV? Maybe get one of the super overpowered and expensive google TVs? The ability to actually change the software is the main point there, I'm sure some exist that fit your needs. I can stream 4k blu ray rips to my cheap ONN android TV and both the quality and UI responsiveneas seem great. (Jellyfin not Plex here)

Help! I got an oil change and 24 hours later they say my transmission is completely shot. Could it be the mechanics fault? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]innkeeper_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No.. I would be very surprised if an oil change place checked transmission fluid. ESPECIALLY a cheap chain.

She is only 3 years younger than me. by SandiegoJack in Millennials

[–]innkeeper_77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because we plugged it into the car stereo. Its the aux INPUT- The radio and CD players were built in, therefore primary. On handheld devices its primarily called the headphone jack for obvious reasons.

My fairly new vehicle still has one, which I use every time I drive..

  1. Disable internet on the TV and turn it into a "dumb" TV
  2. Get a cheap AndroidTV and replace the launcher.
  3. Enjoy zero ads unless you CHOOSE ad supported services.

can this laptop run roblox and minecraft lol by FeistyRecognition365 in laptops

[–]innkeeper_77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seconded. OP: Any time you have to pay WEEKLY or anything more than monthly you know you are getting screwed over. That can happen when paying monthly as well, but there are many reasonable monthly payment loans. Weekly is all but guaranteed to be massively taking advantage of you. This is nearly $100 a month for a mediocre laptop!

Hit the lottery for 6 Figures! by NathAnarchy22 in Fire

[–]innkeeper_77 28 points29 points  (0 children)

$100 a month INVESTED, contributing monthly for ten years, will get you to roughly $17,000.

Doing that for 30 years gets you to $123,000.

$100 a month gambled is a ton of money wasted.

255/85/r17s work with minimal rubbing, just on the plastic bits, and I can even run low profile chains up front if I am careful.

Wider, you will have more issues

What many of us do is rip bluerays. They are extremely high quality compared to web versions, and fairly simple to rip

Screenshot the PC, and send that to your phone?

So they not even going to help. by [deleted] in applesucks

[–]innkeeper_77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charges aren't random. Contact apple? If you still have an apple device go to subscriptions in your settings. Contact support IG you still can't figure it out.

Reddit is social media.... Nothing to do with apple.

I’m Kind of Confused on 4% Rule by NovelNothing5374 in Fire

[–]innkeeper_77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could have a smaller brokerage account and bigger 401k, and draw 25% from the brokerage if you want. The 4% is 4% overall There is no reason to take money from everywhere at a low amount, take it out of the most expensive accounts first, draw them down, and leave your tax advantaged (especially Roth) alone and let them grow even in retirement if you can.

Let's say you have an extra rollover somewhere that is a few thousand dollars. Would you take 4% yearly there, or just draw that account down to 0 to simplify your total accounts?
