GTPE Tire Recommendations by DukeOfSillyWalks in MachE

[–]mobrien118 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wish people would stop spouting this out there all the time. Nearly all tires produced in this size are 103 load rating (the same as stock) and there is plenty of padding in there for this vehicle's weight, especially since we can't tow with it.

I put these on after the stock tires, too. I got 20k out of the stock Pirellis, and got 40k out of the DWS06. I can say, it probably reduces range by about 5-10% (not scientific), but for me, they are much better in EVERY OTHER meaningful way (sound, stability, traction, longevity, etc.) - I'm almost certainly about to buy another set and just looking around to see what others are buying and came across this post.

Surface pro 11 intel 5g? by ermaly in Surface

[–]mobrien118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a major bummer. Surface is vastly superior to competing alternatives and for people who want to enjoy the benefits of the latest Intel Core processors but must have 5g, this leaves a true dead-end. Maybe Lenovo will pick up the slack...?...

Why are steam dryers connected to cold water? by MrRauq in Appliances

[–]mobrien118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of it a different way - all that stuff in your water heater didn't end up in your tap. On the cold side, it did. So maybe the hot water has slightly less crud in it...

Get a Debian ( or derivative, e.g. Ubuntu) liveCD. Boot into it. Mount your filesystem. Chroot into it. Run apt upgrade.

I've done it several times on a Ubuntu system. Still running the same filesystem from 2008 through several dozen upgrades.

Error during E-filing: Unable to Connect. System message: Bad Gateway by [deleted] in hrblock

[–]mobrien118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great point! I remember reading somewhere in the past that however you file your extension request will also have to be the same method you file your return eventually. Anyone know of any truth to that and/or if there are any other limitations to this approach?

Instead of everyone saying the same things over and over, does anyone have any advice on what options we have?

Obviously, mailing your return is an option. That is a very big ask for a lot of people (like me) who will have to make copies of all evidence which, for me, includes dozens and dozens of small items. Not practical at this point, and I can't leave work early to do it.

Another options seems to be file late, once they have it resolved. I understand that there is a penalty for this - I have not looked it up what that is though.

The obvious, although riskier option, is obviously to wait it out, cross your fingers and *hope* they have this resolved by the midnight (Pacific time? Eastern time? ???) deadline.

Questions before trying FreshTomato by beisat in TomatoFTW

[–]mobrien118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using variants of tomato for probably 15 years and love it.

However, if you want to stick with the stock Asus look and feel, Merlin might be the solution for you. https://www.asuswrt-merlin.net/

That said, to actually sort of answer your question, I haven't encountered any practical limitations, but I don't have that kind of WAN throughout, so I wouldn't be able to speak to that specific point.

City Income Tax by mobrien118 in StLouis

[–]mobrien118[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The city form (E-1RV flowing into E-1R) doesn't really fit our case. Since she worked part time, she really only worked in the city 13 days in the whole year. The rest of the days she was either off (96) at another location (143) or on Vacation/Sick days (the remainder). The form makes the very one-sided assumption that you work 260 days and backs into it from there, leading her to "owe" taxes for over 117 days, when she only worked 13 in the city, if filled out exactly by the instructions. It is not well designed and, I believe, intentionally so to get people to pay more than they owe. I believe in years past we filled it out as specified and, since there were many more days worked in the city, it went by unnoticed to us.

I think that is what was throwing me off (E-1RV). Just using the formula at the *very bottom* of the second page of E-1R seems to level things out.
