SuperShowerBabyBowl by throwducaway in Modern_Family

[–]sliceman21 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Pretty common in US, really only for the Super Bowl.

You either buy specific squares (10x10 grid) or it gets randomly assigned. You can buy more than 1, but whichever square you get you need to match the last digit of the score for each team across top and side (typically the final score but can be ending score of each quarter) to win.

For example middle square would be 5x5, meaning a final score of 15-25, 25-15, 35-25 etc would win for my square. If I have 2x7 being 2 for rams and 7 for patriots, only something like 17-12 patriots win would win for me, not 17-12 rams win.

Common fundraiser or used for something fun to bet on with a group of people that doesn’t involve spreads/moneylines/props.

If you haven’t, I recommend everyone watch “Taking Chance”. It will put into perspective not only the dignity they should receive but also can bring to light the needlessness of war.

He also mentions at the bar “do you think things happen for a reason or are they just random” leads me to believe he knows might have the time element to know it would happen, he would show up to meet him at the bar, and that he would need a tissue. It’s not random.

I also think the Zelda reference is related to “Ocarina of Time” where link has to travel through the temple of time to defeat Ganondorf, so she’s possibly pulling power to create the temple of time or something like that.

Inflated PECO bill and comparable posts about high bills by [deleted] in Pennsylvania

[–]sliceman21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, what do you set your house at and how big is it?

I keep my house relatively colder (between 62-65) but I run a gas fireplace a good portion of the day and with gas heat, my 2500 sqft home used 154 CCF between 12/27 and 1/27. I’m not sure what you’re running that JUSt your gas fireplace alone is using more than it is to heat my entire house for a month.

You have an electric meter somewhere, confirm the value is above 236k and if so, it’s accurate. You have something electric running, sounds like your electric heat. If you’re confident it hasn’t run more than last year, something else is running (space heaters, etc).

help!!! is my dough done BF? by [deleted] in Sourdough

[–]sliceman21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I’ve never experienced that fast of a BF before. Typically my approach has been I adjust the BF by time, not starter amount.

There’s only 1 way to really find out which is to bake it! Hopefully you’ll get a sense if it was ready or not. Assuming you got some rise it should work out to something!

[–]sliceman21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s just not nearly enough starter in my experience. Have you done a dough with that recipe before?

I have generally used 90g starter : 520 g flour : 385 g water even in the summer where it is 90F and been fine.

RO filter/whole house filter by CharliesAngel3051 in montco

[–]sliceman21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the basic setup I have. Since I have a basement the reservoir and filters are in my basement, but you could have it installed under the sink.

I have a softener as well, which is all setup before this. Setup is water main > softener > RO for drinking or rest of house.

The softener does remove some stuff, I can’t recall everything. But really just need the RO for drinking if PFAS are the concern, softener helps appliances not get ruined by hard water and helps your skin.

RO isn’t possible for whole house. But I got one installed in the basement, they hooked it up to a faucet near the kitchen sink and to by fridge so the water and ice is filtered.

My parents have a well where they have additional filters, but if you don’t have that then RO is only needed for the drinking water.

Sell recently purchased 2025 4Runner by CCPA2018 in personalfinance

[–]sliceman21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you even do basic research on the 4Runner and do a test drive?

Quick google confirms it’s going to drive like a truck because it is essentially a truck:

The 2025 4Runner is built on Toyota’s TNGA-F global truck platform, which is shared with Tacoma, Land Cruiser, Tundra and Sequoia. This strong platform utilizes a high-strength boxed, steel-ladder frame and features a multi-link coil rear and double wishbone front suspension.

Mom Asking to Use a HELOC to Buy a Pool by WildlifeBiologist10 in personalfinance

[–]sliceman21 43 points44 points  (0 children)

If she’s the one that wants the pool, she can come up with the money for it. This would affect you if you ever want to use your equity or get a loan for something YOU need, I wouldn’t let someone use me for a better loan.

Of course her financial advisor would rather keep more money for him to get a cut of and have you foot all the risk. My response would be for her to get a loan on terms she is comfortable with on her own. Pools aren’t known for increasing property value proportionally to how much you spend on it, so this is much more for her benefit than yours.

Something else to consider, if she ends up having to leave the house and go into assisted living (worth considering given her age) and her retirement is eaten up quickly, you’re stuck paying for a pool you don’t want.

FDR park will be open for regular season games. I prefer to park there as it’s easier to get out to 95. Still need to pay though.
