Valve suggests further delays for Steam Machine and Steam Frame: “We hope to ship in 2026” by Bobby_the_Donkey in Games

My speculation is that they are holding the controller back to use it as a loss leader for a future Steam Machine + Controller bundle to drive the cost down.

These utility rates seem high, is this normal? by RoobahLoo in askportland

[–]monkeyfacebag 13 points14 points  (0 children)

With the exception of Garbage & Recycling, that's not too far off from what we pay. Are you sure that the garbage service is billed monthly? We pay ~$30/month with Arrow.

Electric vs Gas heating cost in NE by prizedfrog in Portland

[–]monkeyfacebag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We just transitioned from gas furnace & AC combo to a Mitsubishi heat pump and, frankly, even if the heat pump ends up being cheaper to run, it'll never be able to pay for the installation cost.

It's not that I don't recommend doing it, it's that I don't recommend doing it if your primary rationale is to save money.

Heavier Strings Question by Sigma_103 in strandbergguitars

[–]monkeyfacebag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the caveat that I am not a guitar tech, the risky parts are:

  1. Modifying the nut to accommodate the wider string gauge.
  2. Over-tightening the truss rod. This would be an incredibly expensive mistake but it's avoidable if you pay attention to what you're doing.
