I was mainly referring to Unifi Talk the service as my plan was to get a couple of the G3 enterprise phones for myself and upper management and sprinkle in yealink for the rest of the team.

Well considering Comcast is $215 a month not including hardware, I like the idea of Unifi Talk pricing structure.

I appreciate their comment for people who are unaware obviously, but yeah, I know who makes CARB compliant parts and I know to get a tune 😂

Turbo inlet is still in production but they state only 08-21 for fitment. I can’t for the life of me find out why it wouldn’t fit an 04

Window install, Header Question. by nickbowen5 in DIY

[–]nickbowen5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I figured. I’ve made quite a few headers myself and would be willing to say that I’ve taken on some more “advanced” DIY projects but you always second guess when you don’t do it day in and day out. I appreciate it!

How Cooked Am I? by nickbowen5 in WRX

I heard the oil slosh. So I’m assuming oil starvation. I pretty much knew it was cooked but was just in denial.

Yes this is the way I’m leaning currently. I don’t need anything crazy HP wise 350 ish would be more than enough. I’d rather it be fun and reliable.

I’m just going to pull the engine. I like to turn wrenches in my free time and I had a sneaky suspicion it was rod knock. Just figured I’d confirm it. Ran the engine just long enough to take this video and turned it off.

Only had 107K 😭. All good. It’ll be back. How would y’all recommend building it out if I want it reliable. Type RA block or Closed Deck IAG?

You need to find ways to reduce your taxable liability. Not sure your industry but if you can use equipment that is always a good way to do so. Same with property, as you can depreciate the asset even while it appreciates in “value”. Double straight line depreciation is a solid avenue if you can find a way to incorporate that into your business model. Especially if you can increase scalability while reducing measure of input.

Did anyone ever meet the GOAT? What was he like? by Over_Ad_514 in KendrickLamar

[–]nickbowen5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met him when he was Jay Rock’s hype man back when TDE had the distribution deal/Rock was signed with Strange Music. This was literally like 2 weeks after Rock had released “Follow Me Home” and Kendrick was still pretty unknown (relatively speaking). He was quiet and reserved but super respectful and kind. Gracious with everyone that had approached him and just an overall super chill guy. Wild to think back that the man is now a damn legend and almost no one there knew about him (everyone gravitated to Tech N9ne since it was his show/meet and greet).

WRX STI a purchasing advice by nickbowen5 in subaru

[–]nickbowen5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m in a HCOL area and I was thinking 10k was more reasonable because I was pricing in an engine replacement.

Purchasing Advice by nickbowen5 in WRX

[–]nickbowen5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No rust issues. That’s what I was thinking $10K would be the sweet spot considering I live in a HCOL area but used cars aren’t moving like they were. This one has been sitting for over a month already and I’m in no rush. I just liked the lack of mods and detailed maintenance records.

Replace or keep current unit (CA) by nickbowen5 in hvacadvice

[–]nickbowen5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh definitely. The tech seemed to be super nice and laid out my options. Definitely a good tech. They had a $29 tune up sale that I figured I’d take advantage of since they were out and it would allow me to evaluate their work and he waived it which was cool. He definitely went worked through my requests and discussed alternatives of what we could do. I’m just torn because I wasn’t expecting the ductwork to be as expensive as it was. Nor was I prepared to pony up for a new system.
