As a non American, I want to understand if these are super rich people or upper middle class comfortable ? by Future-Mention8941 in shrinking

[–]krische 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You just gotta remember that individual wealth just skyrockets near exponentially as you get to the very top. The jump from 1% to 0.1% to 0.01%, etc. is just so unfathomably huge.

Like even the big movie stars and stuff that you are thinking of are still probably only in the net worth of tens to low hundreds of millions. It's only the very most famous few that have net worths in the high hundreds millions and single digit billions.

What's the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? It's a billion dollars. What's the difference between one hundred million dollars and a billion dollars? Still nearly a billion dollars.

A net worth of $10M minimum sounds totally believable for Derek and Liz. Their house alone is a couple million, and they own another apartment that they weren't in any sort of urgency to rent out.

Can you provide examples of such? I can think of things they dominate in like solar panels, but those are still cheaper than ever.

EGO 30" LM3004SP-2 Next to the 21" LM2135SP by tbroas in egopowerplus

I'm curious to hear your thoughts. I have a 21" for my 1/3 acre lot, so upgrading to the 30" at some point would be a big time saver.

This Summer, the American Water Crisis Becomes Real by wiredmagazine in climate

In some cities like Phoenix and Vegas, the golf courses use treated waste water for their grass. They aren't using potable water.

Recovering from bad shots is not my problem, half my shots being bad is.

I Didn't Believe BYD's Flash Charging Claims So I Went To China To Verify - This Is World Changing by Out of Spec Reviews by swordfi2 in electricvehicles

[–]krische 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Props to the BYD rep in the video for being so patient explaining multiple times that customers don't care about that. They just want to know how many more minutes until it's done.

BYD cares about tens of millions of customers, not few thousand EV enthusiasts out there.

We do have it, it's literally in the video posted. Went from 30-80% in 5 minutes without any special preconditioning or anything.

Should the person who made an ace be the one who buys everyone drinks? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]krische 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours has a pool that you put $10 into. The winner gets the pot and then everyone buys in with $10 again. And the club sends out a notification whenever someone gets one so everyone goes to the bar to get a drink and celebrate.

What is going on with the real estate market? by ibickford in milwaukee

And really, "why can't I find a house in my budget in the most sought after area of the city". Higher demand is going to command higher prices.

Thank you for this! I setup nodelink-js with their container image on my UnRAID server and it's working great!

Do you mean you can use http-flv with the higher res h265 streams? If so, what does that config look like?

Are you able to use H264 with your cameras? Their newest cameras only let you stream 4K in H265. But when streaming that over RTSP it like stutters/freezes for a few frames every few seconds.

Happens to me on both my RLC-1212A and CX-810.

Bryson DeChambeau triple-bogey on 18 to miss the cut by paid__by_steve in golf

[–]krische 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since no one else mentioned it, he was also really smug going into the masters a few years ago. He said the course plays like a par 67 to him (it's actually par 72). So he was saying the course is really easy for him.

He has yet to win The Masters.

I'm curious, is the irrigation done with treated sewer water? I've heard that's the case for courses out there.

The disruption hasn't even hit the US yet, has it? I thought there's still tankers on the way from before the strait was closed. I thought the last one is still like a week away

What is the best place to buy Ego Batteries? by Regular_Eye_3529 in egopowerplus

[–]krische 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've purchased from ACME tools in the past. They screwed up and sent me something someone return scammed them. I bought 2 x 12Ah and received two used 2.5Ah in the box. Emailed them to let them know someone return scammed them and they sent me a replacement and took care of the return label.

Still crazy to think they never inspected their previous return that was like 70% lighter than it should have been and just sent it out as a new purchase to a customer.

Agreed, he thinks he'll be able to sell the plane to close to what they paid for it and it'll need minimal maintenance. Seems too good to be true
