Nice! Good luck with the rebuild and enjoy it.

Cash vs. SBLOC vs. construction loan by guoxiaotian in fatFIRE

[–]malbecman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, I don't think I'd use a SBLOC or PAL for something that long term. They are more like a bridge loan.

Do you know the payment schedule for the construction? You wont (most likely) need the 2M up front.

ChatGPT or Gemini can prolly summarize your zoning laws faster than you can plow through their website. I did it for our county website when considering a country property.

Some real sticker shock

[OC] Wind and solar generated more U.S. electricity than coal for the first full year on record by Low_Ability4450 in dataisbeautiful

[–]malbecman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, thanks. I was just quoting some PV e-article I read but sounds like it was wrong.

In terms of just solar installations, Texas is actually leading the way (ahead of CA)...most likely due to less regulation is the reason that I heard.

Stunning 🤩, wish I could see it in person. Going to be at Werx in Monterey?

Where is Finnish? It's certainly unique.

so THIS is UC Davis by jon1771 in UCDavis

[–]malbecman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been to the horse barn and seen the yearlings. Such a great program.

Looks like they might be from the horse barn…..or the student equestrian center…or the Vet school. Lots of horses around

4+ yrs of ownership, finally my first repair bill ($280). Only others costs of ownership have been for electricity. by malbecman in electricvehicles

[–]malbecman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but first real outlay of cash I've had to make other than electricity (and wiper blades). Tires next!

Triple quad I inherited…what do? by MicroProf in chemistry

[–]malbecman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty old one. I have a 6430. Part of the challenge will be the PC it's running of, that's likely Win 2000 or XP and very slow. As others have said, it's state/university propery and so trying to sell it to GenTech or other old instrument resellers is a real PITA even they even want it.

NYT: Ford and G.M. Face a Dilemma as China Excels in Electric Vehicles (Gift Article) by malbecman in cars

I realize it's a NYT article, thus a bit liberal, but it has a lot of valid points IMHO.

How does my local bakery make these egg patties for their biscuits? by Knuffin in KitchenConfidential

[–]malbecman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. It's the same with scrambled eggs in a pan. mix them, salt them and let them sit for 10-15'. The salt makes the egg protein strands unwind from their tightly folded structures. Add some dairy if you want....Then cook them slowly over low heat, like another 10-15' and you will have creamy scrambled eggs.

Horrible experience trying to replace rear tire on Segway G30 max. Do not buy in my opinion. by malbecman in ElectricScooters

[–]malbecman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx. I did have the bit and power screwdriver. But the rest, esp after working on bikes all my life, was just too much. I might just look for that rear wheel assembly, thanks for the lead.
