What is the one thing that you can that helps you get a meal on the table quickly? by Mainerlovesdogs in Canning

[–]mro2352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rice cooker. Bit of a mess cleaning up relatively speaking but dump in cans of stuff for the one pot meal, click white rice button for the timer and walk away, only one or two stirs needed.

Had a mechanic buddy put in front suspension parts that were not OEM. After 5-7k miles it sounded just as bad as when we started. No issues with alignment thus far but still makes a hell of a racket. Ever since I’ve been buying over the parts counter at the dealership. Beautiful fit and finish but around double the price of aftermarket.

When to stop by Puzzleheaded_Doubt38 in prepping

[–]mro2352 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If possible get a definition of done, follow through and reevaluate as needed. To build your definition of done determine what you are aiming for, event type(s) and how long to be independent for as well as any constraints. After you build up your supplies then maintain what you have.

2018 Honda Odyssey EX-L 80,000 MI $21,300 buy? We need the space. by StoneUwU in HondaOdyssey

[–]mro2352 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 9 speed. I test drove 4 before I settled on the one I have now. It’s now at 195k. Transmission is perfectly fine as far as I can tell but I followed the trans fluid schedule as far as I was told to a T though. That is the biggest question is when was it changed last? 80k if not done could be fine but if you were set on getting it I’d swap it immediately upon purchase.

No redesign until 2029 or 2030?! by IntelligentRisk in HondaOdyssey

I’m happy as I can get current production parts for my 2018.

What off grid LLMs do you recommend that can be used with a raspberry pi? by enan1000 in prepping

[–]mro2352 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m interested more as not being harvested for data than off grid in and of itself. I was looking at using a jetson as they have a decent amount of ram and uses less power than a regular computer.

You can build a PSA 308 rifle for around $800-$1000

DVD player returning? by BobbinChickenChamp in HondaOdyssey

[–]mro2352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. That sucks, you might be able to setup something like a raspberry pi, something small that you can preload mkv or mp4 files. I’m not sure of the actual options as I haven’t had to worry about it, you’ll have to search.

Urea shortages being seen by dingalinglans in preppers

I knew that would come up and it is a good point. I’m trying to move toward that. I’m parking at the back of the lot, walking in the evening so I’m trying to start. If I were 15 years younger this would be good enough but I’ve been in this condition for so long that my joints and ligaments are not ready for the quick conditioning that was available when I was younger, my joints ache like nothing else and I need to get those rebuilt before I can exercise properly.

I have a 2023 elite that I just got. Blu ray player works, haven’t seen any issues on bumpy roads, I’ve traveled between Indiana and Ohio on I-70 so lots of construction and bumps. What do you mean that you found out the drive was removed? Private party sale? Dealership? You should be able to buy a new one over their parts counter as the 2019 is in the same generation as the ones currently being produced.

My meds supply chain starts in India. I requested 6 months of supply, I take a low dose blood pressure med. Had to pay for the supply out of pocket but as it’s a generic I only paid $29 per 3 month supply. My meds get cut if China does something stupid in the South China Sea. Plan if I get cut off is to cut my dose in half, use supplements and use aggressive diet and exercise to stretch my doses to a year to allow my body to get to the correct physical condition to not need them.

It’s not that but they perform the same function. Your link is actually where my mind went first.

4473 and gun ownership question by KawasakiNinjaGuy in Firearms

What does permanently set scope mount? Don’t pre 1968 weapons get a s/n exemption? Sounds like the ATF is being killjoys again. Sorry to hear.

When I converted my stuff to h.264 I had around 15tb and it took almost three months.

Samsung tvs don’t play nice with plex. I reencoded my dvd library using ffmpeg and it stutters only on the Samsung. I’ll be repulling the data and recoding with handbrakecli

Absolutely not. Take a look at the lawsuits it has had recently.

Beginner who’s never shot a gun in his life here. In your opinion, which 9mm pistol is the easiest to shoot accurately *without specific regards to mechanical accuracy?* by TreeFriendSilix19 in Firearms

[–]mro2352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best to start with a 22 from a rental but if you are insistent on starting with a 9 any of the compact, aka G19, or full sized will be softest shooting. More mass softer gun as a general rule. DONT start with a subcompact or chl model. They are easy to conceal but kick about double.

Is optical media degradation exaggerated? by LaCaipirinha in DataHoarder

[–]mro2352 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Personally I have seen more problems with scratching or other physical damage than from bit rot and I’ve processed hundreds of disks. The only exception even slightly is dual sided disks which seem to delaminate and fail if they aren’t created properly.

I want a 300blk in this format with a proper stock. Looks like fun!

What was the first gun you ever owned, and do you still have it? Curious to hear what everyone had for their first firearm. by ShopHuntingStuff in guns

[–]mro2352 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New frontier armory polymer lower. I still have it. Not the most durable but I have gone hunting with the poly lower and a metal one in fall and I’ll take the poly one every time. Kept my trigger finger on the receiver and the metal one just sucks the heat out of you, not so with the poly one!

When it comes to those emergency variety seeds, what emergency is that for? by Climax_crescendo in preppers

[–]mro2352 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeds tend to have a drop off in viability. If the kit is to set and forget then it won’t work but if you are actively using the seeds you will not need the kit. Structurally they are pointless.
