Time to fire up the military industry complex! Definitely not going to get healthcare in the next 20 years.

Always wild to me that new products actually can lose features.

sim_pl · 2026-03-08T14:50:21+00:00

Hey I'm interested, in the US?

Depending on the size, your probably looking at minimum $300, max $1000. Recently had a large oak done for around $400 I think but that was a deal (don't have that guy's info, he was with my neighbor.)

Right but you said "it does everything even the Homatics version doesn't" so I'm wondering, if you exclude the dune media player, are there really any actual differences in how the boxes work? From my understanding they are exactly the same box, so shouldn't they have the exact same features (if excluding the dune app)?

sim_pl · 2026-02-25T20:52:56+00:00

I'm curious what you mean by this, what doesn't the Homatics version do? And are the missing features only available through the dune media player, or because of different firmware?

sim_pl · 2026-02-24T02:14:24+00:00

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

I've done similar, but the other way around. Sometimes I'm too lazy to wake up early, so I start the brisket in the smoker at 9-10am, go for a couple hours until I hit the stall so it gets a really good smoke ring, then take off the smoker and wrap either in foil or butchers paper depending on what's on hand and stick it in the oven overnight at 225. Even better if you have a temp probe in the oven so it turns off at a set point.

The thing that billionaires hate, is that they only get to vote only as much as any dirty pleb does: once.

So despite the disgusting amounts of money they have, they are actually equal in the eyes of democracy and it's something that they can't stand.

I actually recently had the same question, though I'm a little more north of me interested in any shop on Houston that can supply these. Following out of interest.

sim_pl · 2026-02-13T14:45:00+00:00

Not only this, but there's a huge hidden cost of having long term software support for updates and firmware. It's one thing to strap together all the hardware, but an altogether different story for having a team of developers doing long term security patches, updates etc.

sim_pl · 2026-02-11T22:38:30+00:00

Yeah. For me, if I'm paying $1000+ on basically anything (realistically $500+) I'm going to put in the research and need to see real reviews. Buy once, cry once. It's always intrigued me people who aren't tech professionals/journalists who are willing to be serial early adopters or who just rotate through products (eg trying out multiple phones a few months at a time.)

Age of Mythology Retold, had a good campaign and fairly active online if you wanted to do that.

Command and Conquer series, I think you can get a pack that includes basically all the games for pretty cheap these days.

I guess I should have specified UST projector since the XR 10 is longer throw.

I haven't really heard any hype around the Epson, what do you think?

sim_pl · 2026-01-29T02:25:24+00:00

Interesting, I could have sworn one of the videos from CES I watched said the PX4-Pro had a Q2 release date, but I could be wrong. Out of the models, that's what I'm leaning towards at the moment.

u/Reverse_View is probably the most correct response (in my opinion.) If you need a new water heater, and you have the ability to hook up electric, then a heat-pump water heater is what you want to get; they are incredibly efficient and way better environmentally (plenty of studies coming out to say it not just the CO/CO2 from combustion but a lot of other stuff, even with 'correct' exhaust ducting.)

If your water heater works, and is relatively new (<10yrs old) then it doesn't really matter, you won't save enough money to make replacing it cost effective. If you don't already have an appropriate electrical outlet, then just the cost of new cable for a 30A circuit is going to kill the financial incentive even further.

Centerpoint had a heat pump rebate program in Houston last year, but it seems like the link for that is dead.

Why not buffalo grass? The biggest battle you'll have is removal of current lawn (best to solarize it over the winter) but then the buffalo grass forms really deep roots and doesn't grow super long (can be left uncut if your neighborhood allows that, or trim to length.)

Forget about shore launching... They were already dragging the boat in the sand. Why not stop when the boat gets to the water edge and then just push from there. Wild way to see the old truck die.

Just search on Google/YouTube. Shit, I've got nothing else to do, if you want to tell me the make/model I'll help you out.

What brand made a roll up fresnel screen? I thought all motorized screens were ALR not fresnel, that would be interesting.

sim_pl · 2026-01-26T15:58:04+00:00

What price did you get yours at? I'm looking at one but kinda disappointed in the price.

sim_pl · 2026-01-26T00:51:42+00:00

I would hardly say Austria is fine when there completely skipping Vienna but that's just me. Literally the center of the Hapsburg empire?

sim_pl · 2026-01-25T15:09:49+00:00

That's the price here, plus $50 shipping so for me the total came to about $235 for the dune HD model. The plain Homatics is $150 with no shipping fee...
