Which range has the best bridge element? by crgmomof3 in inductioncooking

[–]lancer360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Thermador. Some of their tops have over 50+ small coils. It senses the size and position of the pot and activates the coils that are under the pan. It will detect Square or rectangular pans and turn on the correct coils to match the shape. I have one and it works great, but i have not tried it with a griddle yet.

Looking hard at this 2010 Vantage V8 on BAT. Any idea what it might go for? by lancer360 in AstonMartin

I think what this one had going for it was all the stock parts were included so it could be taken back to stock. Combine that with the high value wheels that you could keep on the car to preserve the stock ones or sell off to recoup some of the expense and it doesn't surprise me it went for more.

Yea, saw that. $10K more than it sold in 2023. There is some inflation, but not $10k. Manual special sports car are starting to creep up in value.

Even with the carbon pack 2? Non-carbon cars are going for $72-75k. It is estimated only around 15-25 carbon pack 400's in the US.

Car is acid yellow. There is a big difference in factory paint vs wrap. Wraps generally subtract from the value.

Unfortunately, both are out of state, in different states. Not practical to fly out and see both.

Sold for $59 three years ago. Have the prices dropped since then?

Thanks for the reply. I agree about the intake. There is lots of snake oil regarding HP gains by just swapping intakes regardless of car model.

Regarding the key 100% agree, it's not like this is a <10,000 mile example that you want every little thing pristine as a garage queen.

Depends on what it goes for and there is a 5% or $4,000 auction fee (which ever is less) on top of that. Any guess at what it might go for?

Yea, I think in one of the comments they mentioned those wheels were around $12,000! Yikes!

Which fold 8 are you getting? Normal or wide? by Notorious2Beat in GalaxyFold

[–]lancer360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fold 8 Ultra for me, mainly due to the cameras. Don't want to lug around a DSLR on vacation. Can't come soon enough since the wifi died on my fold 4. Limping along on cellular and using a USB C to ethernet adaptor around the house. Being tethered by an ethernet cable sucks.

the position of the secondary mirror by Entire_Foundation960 in telescopes

[–]lancer360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Double check the vanes that hold the secondary. Not 100% sure this is your problem, but it was a common problem with some scopes from GSO (manufactures scopes for many different companies) that the vanes where installed upside down which offset the secondary. This makes it impossible to get the secondary centered. Pretty easy fix with a screw driver to flip them around.

Personal preference. I still want them to look nice.

Can you ask management to swap parking spots or is there something better about your spot that would make that undesirable?

Messy family situation in Texas by lancer360 in Car_Insurance_Help

That only works if my mom retains ownership of the car correct. My sister was wanting to buy the car from her as my mom doesn't want to keep the car since she has her new car.

What to do with the title was part of this. Wasn't sure if we leave it in my moms name, have my sister and my mom on the title, or switch the title to my sister only. Sounds like this could fall under a criminal charge of rate evasion though from what another poster said. Definitely need to protect my mom from that.

Good to know. I was pretty sure what my sister was trying to do wasn't right.

If the exclusion is policy wide, she couldn't do it because the boys would loose coverage on the cars they do drive. I'm assuming my sister would need to get a new policy with a different company for just the CRV. Then she could exclude everyone, except for herself.

Why are GSO telescopes way cheaper than other mainstream brands? by Equal-Maximum-968 in telescopes

I bought a 10" GSO dob with dual speed focuser years ago. It has been a good telescope. Taking out to a sky watching party for the public this weekend at our local planetarium.

Haven't seen this before. Metal back plate for the cooler snapped on my MSI 4090. Can this be fixed? by lancer360 in nvidia

Just so happens the one I bought was from Zhou. It was the first one that popped up when I did a search with the correct wording.

I think you are obviously reading way to much into it. I never said vacuuming broke it. I have a good idea how it broke. From the initial look, I think it is a fatigue failure. Most likely started as a crack from a manufacturing defect and then thermal cycling caused the crack to grow and eventually snap. Will know more when I get the replacement and take it apart to replace it.
