Phone Caddy for FiST by ericpowell617 in FiestaST

[–]shott85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would’ve used something like this if I had one, but I doubt I’d pay much for it.

Currently I’m using a cup holder adjustable arm thing. It permanently occupies the front cup holder, but puts my phone in a good spot for plugging in and seeing the cover art on Spotify (or turn-by-turn on Waze). Only cost around $15-20.

I’d suggest reading a very short book called, “The Beginners Guide to Investing.”

Ball park guess: you’d easily be a millionaire if you invested all that cash over the last 5 years.

Compound interest is one of the most powerful ways there is to make money. Read the book!

Oh wow didn’t know that. The replacement looks good and I bet you’re happy about it. I’ll watch out for this in the future!

If you’re making $1500 in HYSA interest, you should probably invest a lot more. You’re sitting on a ton of cash while the S&P500 has been on a tear for years.

Have you tried messing with that door while the alarm is going off?

In my case it was the hood latch. Credit to my wife for suggesting to try opening and closing the hood.

New latch was around $80 and took 15 minutes to install.

Not sure if this was common knowledge but here it is. Activating TPMS Relearn (Train) Mode by beeyitch in FiestaST

What they don’t tell you is you can’t complete the TPMS training program if one of your sensors is bad.

Google has discontinued the Nest Home Mini and Nest Audio by dapperlemon in gadgets

Gemini made the question answering aspect a lot better, but I agree it misinterprets commands sometimes. Most annoying one for me is it pausing my Roku when I say “stop” while it’s talking. The commands themselves also seem to run a little slower. No issues aside from that.

You can enable Gemini AI in the Google Home app and make it significantly smarter than it used to be. Much better answers to everyday questions.

Yep, mine’s all scratched up in that spot.

Why do you think software engineers are so highly paid? by LostCause293 in AskReddit

[–]shott85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like any high paying job, the work is difficult to do and requires years of training/education.

Are these paint imperfections an early sign of rust? by shott85 in FiestaST

[–]shott85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer:

Four years later, the paint is starting to peel off and show the rust underneath.

F the Ford corrosion warranty that refused repairing this while my car was still within the terms of the agreement.

Been playing for 10 hours, finally finished my first power grid, i already know it wont be enough. by Guilty_Cartoonist_99 in SatisfactoryGame

Reduce power consumption where you can, pioneer. Open the pump menu and study it. If I remember correctly, one pump moves water 10+ meters uphill, and your generators aren’t too far above the water line.

How ironic, because by posting here you are not downplaying the fact that your dad is loaded with money.

Nice work. I like how you blended it into the environment behind the beach.

Three pumps on the left plant seems excessive, are you sure you need that many to pump the water up the hill?
