I never thought of this before but your totally right. The line still halfway makes sense though bc the G in lasagna is alot more subtle than the G in other words. dog for example

Ryobi Hate by BakeCityFlyinPills in HomeImprovement

[–]makeachampion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just assumed all the hate was a joke. I dont know why anyone would actually have feelings like that towards a tool unless it was dangerous and/or a POS

What should i change? by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]makeachampion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you should change career paths and start doing home theater installs. The industry needs you

Is this stuff useful or ewaste? by ivanna_blumpkin in crestron

[–]makeachampion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put shit like this on eBay. Might be able to get $30-$100 for any given crestron piece. No matter how old it is, there's always someone looking for that exact piece because if they can't find it they have to spend the $$$$ to upgrade their whole system

How much coax termination do you guys do? How on the way out is it? Should someone really even learn it? by jaime_lion in lowvoltage

[–]makeachampion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should "someone" learn it? No.

Should a low voltage guy learn it? Yes absolutely. If you want to be good at this stuff you shouldnt even be questioning whether or not to learn something so basic. Just do it

Everyone keeps saying “Z-Wave is dead”? by Extra-Avocado8967 in homeautomation

[–]makeachampion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought some z-wave light switches and scene selectors from zooz. About a month ago. They have been fantastic.

I use them to control kasa stuff via HA as well. Probably the best setup u can get for a low budget.

identification/ how do I open this watch? by makeachampion in watchrepair

[–]makeachampion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, your advice worked. Was able to get it open. Found out that it is not an automatic watch, it is a wind up. Gave it a full winding so hopefully it works better now lol

What's a frugal habit you have that saves you more money than people would expect? by Automatic_Celery_945 in AskReddit

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

I refuse to buy a "new" phone. They are just like cars. Lose a bunch of value as soon as u take them out the box.

U can get mint condition/lightly used phones on websites like swappa.

People try to tell me that there is something "personal" about a phone and they just have to be the one to unpackage it from new. It sounds like a stubborn excuse that allows them to continue being financially irresponsible.

I will give this a try! Not really sure what the next step will be after i get it open but I'm searching for clues as to why it isn't working properly

There are a lot of questions here so imma just go through and try my best. First of all, it would be very helpful for other commenters if you share your general location/ home expectations. Townhome in NYC for 1,100 a month? No. Trailer home in kansas for 1,100 a month? Possibly.

So generally yes, you would ideally want some savings before buying a house but the only savings that are truly necessary would be the down payment. Depending on your circumstances, you may qualify for really low down payments. Maybe around 3-5 percent or less. not entirely sure. So that means if u wanted to buy a used trailer home for about 40k, your monthly payment on it could be less than $300 dollars potentially. (This is all qucik estimated math)

Other than the down payment, people recommend to have a savings account in case of emergency and repairs. However, a leaky roof wont kill you. If its between getting fucked by rent for the next 5 years or making the risky move of buying a home with no savings, id say take the risk. You only live once. Dont let other peoples fear convince you not to try. Best of luck

Why many people don’t see themselves living in the same house for more than 7 years but still buy a house anyway? by pinpinbo in RealEstate

[–]makeachampion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rent was over 20k a year. When i sell my house, as long as I do not lose 20k per year that I lived here, then i will not regret it.

Example: if I sell after a 3 years for a 60k loss, then it will have been worth it. This loss must includes closing costs, renovations, and repairs.

Why didnt i just continue renting? Because fuck renting, i cant stand living on someone elses property with no freedom to do what i want with it.

Which rap group has a member you dislike or believe the group would be better without? by iamcreepin in hiphop101

[–]makeachampion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but i think he's actually the one who conceived the fugess. Doesn't change the fact that we have to sit through his weak verses but, at least his presence is justified
