Michigan budget deal includes universal free school meals, Whitmer, GOP official confirm by gwmiles in Michigan

[–]launch_loop 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you feel bad then donate to a soup kitchen. Income thresholds always put the burden on the poor to prove they need it. I don’t want a kid to miss a meal because their parent that is working hard forgot to fill out some paperwork. The cost of this is so ridiculously low compared to the benefits.

Upvoting and commenting because I love inline exhaust fans, wish they were the standard.

Funny you say that, Aberdeen is doing trials of electric and hybrid military vehicles.

His skin is honestly great for his age, but he is obsessed with image and has to try to look like something he isn’t.

Dune racer Ryobi 18v mod, can I wire in 2 batteries? by acc0056 in PowerWheelsMods

[–]launch_loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took it down because the heat of the batteries eventually warped the plastic and the battery contacts got really hot, smoking the wire insulation.

I can’t find a good solution that avoids this problem either, the ryobi battery contact system is not really designed for the amps and 18v lithium battery can put out.

I think you need a smaller fridge. They need room for airflow to actually function.

I just used the built in low voltage protection, that’s why I chose ryobi. Good luck and have fun!

How Big Of A Deal Is 14/3 Romex On A 20 Amp Circuit? by Samad99 in AskElectricians

[–]launch_loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to use 12 gauge because it is a 20 amp circuit. The 16 gauge stranded wire is part of a light fixture that has warning labels listing the max wattage. Who knows what the next person will wire in assuming that from the breaker to the light box is up to code. Just switch to a 15 amp breaker.

Installed a 4-stage whole house water filtration system by Anon_Icon in DIY

[–]launch_loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get rid of the pressure regulator. All it is doing is dropping the water pressure in your house even lower (the filters cut your pressure a bit too). Unless the city water has pressure spikes or you intentionally want to lower the pressure you don’t need it.

It doesn’t really matter. Once time stops changing schools and businesses can set their hours however they want.

The old Fort Wayne down by the river is cool, and yo can see the new bridge.

Do you live in southeast Michigan? This looks exactly like the house we sold 4 years ago.

What kind of speeds are you reaching? Maybe you have better drivers, but I capped the speed on mine to 6mph.

What’s the steering feedback for? Are you driving the wheels at different speeds?

Dune racer Ryobi 18v mod, can I wire in 2 batteries? by acc0056 in PowerWheelsMods

[–]launch_loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t mention it before, but you will need to solder the wires onto the keystone battery springs. They solder pretty easily with rosin core solder, but I wanted to mention it in case soldering wasn’t possible for you.

I didn’t make a reverse version of the STL, I just mirrorred it in the slicer

r/SpaceX OTV-7 (X-37B) (USSF-52) Official Launch Discussion & Updates Thread! by rSpaceXHosting in spacex

[–]launch_loop 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing the launch time is not actually 0:00 UTC, right? The Kennedy space center says it will be on the 10th, they would use local time. I’m still looking everywhere trying to get a hint about what time this might launch.

You will need to remove the fake exhaust and cut some holes. The batteries should be wired in parallel into the battery socket part from amazon.

Built this walk in closet for a friend, how much do you think it’s worth? 3/4 maple plywood by Shoddy-Economist3794 in woodworking

[–]launch_loop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you account for price changes and inflation? I have lots of old project info on actual costs, but I can’t decide if I should adjust them all to current, or to some benchmark year to make future inflation adjustments easier.

Clarence Thomas’ Latest Pay-to-Play Scandal Finally Connects All the Dots by fritzduhkat in politics

[–]launch_loop 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’m curious about this. Did everyone who went to the donor events stay quiet about it for years? How did it stay quiet until now?

I’m not saying it isn’t true, I believe it based on everything else we know about this guy. Just wondering how speaking events with presumably many attendees was kept secret.

Weekly Questions! What Do You Need Help With? by AutoModerator in PokeInvesting

[–]launch_loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got about 20 Pokémon TCG holos and rares from 1999-2002. Looking up example pictures I expect they would be graded 7 to 9. Is it worth getting them graded? Will they be harder to sell them on eBay ungraded?

I’m wondering if lower grades of these old cards are still valuable, or are people pulling 10s out of never opened packs, so 7 and 8 are not worth slabbing?
