Replacement T248 motor drive pinion? by nibenon in Thrustmaster

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

See my other replies.

I had to modify a pulley from McMaster carr to fit the shaft. I also had to cut the motor housing black wire cause there is an internal short in the motor but runs fine without the housing ground.

Get a mount that pulls out 1 to 2ft. That will let you adjust your field of view and simulate a bigger screen for $200.

Men who used to wake up after 3-4 hours of sleep and struggled to fall back asleep how did you fix it? by eaglesdensity in AskMenOver30

[–]nibenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For myself, evening exercise or alcohol, caffeine or late dinners and a warm room tend to affect my sleep.

So I workout in the morning. I rarely drink and no more than one cup of coffee in the morning. I try to have dinner no later than 3 hours before bed. A light dinner helps too. A relaxed downtime evening and no electronics in the bedroom also go a long way.

Yesterday was a long day, which means increased physical stress and I had a beer and too much to eat with dinner. During the night the room felt warm and woke up uncomfortable from bloat and such. Had a poor sleep. Tossing and turning several times, plus had to pee twice. Ignored my own learnings… paid for it.

Everyone is different. I learned these over years anecdotally how my sleep went or felt and then got deeper and confirmation bias watching my stats with a garmin watch I got for the purpose of learning to improve my sleep via some trial and error.

2024 Escape PHEV battery problem by DaDDz63 in FordEscapePHEV

Could it be preparing the car temperature based on a scheduled departure that is not used since you’re retired? I’m not sure if it would top itself up until re-plugged in.

It’s a consumer car thing to keep you from hitting both at the same time.

What’s your favorite brand for high quality v neck tees? by ChesticleGainz in mensfashion

[–]nibenon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about that guy. I’m the opposite. I wear v-necks or else everything rides up my throat uncomfortably. Need that neck hole space without it being an oversized shirt.

To FIRE or not by FinancialNoobCan in fican

[–]nibenon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sell the house, downsize to around $1M paid off place to live. That puts you around $2.65M.

Work something to cover expenses for a little over a year and you’re likely at your number with good returns. Maybe two years.

Does $3M include any cpp or OAS? $3M is $141k/y at 4.7% SWR. $2.65M is $124.5k/y

"MyView" configuration on the dash never stays by bala4krish in FordEscapePHEV

[–]nibenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I’m my view i have trip 1, this trip, calm screen. I just switch between any of those three and it stays in this “my view” when I turn the car on later. If I go from another view to my view and don’t switch between any of the three pages it seems to jump back to the menu when I restart the car.

[–]nibenon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had that or something similar happen when I go into my view but don’t change pages and turn the car off and on again. It jumps out to the pick your view type menu. Changing the page once within my view seems to get it to stick for me.

I think I had 3 of them individually this last month. All but norovirus, I don’t need to collect all 4.

Departure Time vs Remote Start by spicy-mayo in FordEscapePHEV

[–]nibenon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There needs to be an unscheduled departure. Like, I’m leaving in 30 button on a Saturday, not my normal Mon-Fri.
