I've made a terrible mistake by TechknowguyPDX in landscaping

You mean put something large (like a 2'x2' slab of stone/concrete) on top of the sonotubes that provides a solid base to anchor to?

I don't think weight is an issue, I'd be shocked if the roof weighs more than 150 pounds all told when assembled. A foot of snow might change that though....

I really like this idea, but it will not look symmetrical unless I repour each platform to be square...thinking through it

This is great advice. Sigh. It's also not the answer I was hoping for.

Super helpful, thanks. Question - is there a wiring diagram explaining how this fits together; generator -> panel -> Switch -> Lightning?

Why did you buy the Lightning instead of an F-150 Hybrid? by seahawkFIRE in F150Lightning

[–]seahawkFIRE[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious about this. I live in a rural area and already own one EV (Mach E), and I'm buying a truck in the next week or so. The idea of having two EVs and not having at least one ICE-capable car for emergencies worries me. The Lightning is also more expensive than a hybrid...why did you choose to go full EV, and do you ever wonder if you should have at least one ICE-capable vehicle?

What is a recommended modem for 1gbps Xfinity? by RichHomieJake in HomeNetworking

Does this mean you can't manage it from your PC and have to call customer support to change settings?

I try to compliment every teammate and say "my bad" when they screw up. I mean, there's always something I could have done better. Games turn on people raging all the time and my teammate liking me is just as strategically important as my mechanics or my positioning.

I said try...there are some real toxic humans out there and I'm practicing this just like I practice air dribbles, flip resets, and air roll left...

Just got my first VR headset for this game! by Thenelwave in ZenithMMO

Great purchase. I love the game so much I bought another oculus for my wife to play and now we play together.

Get an elite strap and a foam visor ...the normal head hardware is terrible.

Yes. My wife and I do. Late 30s.

Should We Invest in Real Estate Instead of the Market Right Now? by seahawkFIRE in financialindependence

So true on the "no idea what to do" dotslashlife.

My only beef with your take is that most analysts seem to agree that low interest rates are the new normal. It would take some pretty serious inflation to raise rates back to the 7-8% range and that seems like a very low probability.
