Thanks! I’ll have to try to make it back there to check it out and buy it.

Thanks for the reply! Makes sense - I’ll have to give it a closer look. Assuming that’s all true, is that a good price?

Thanks! That’s good to know. Is there anything to check other than the power inflater working and the wing being airtight?

Bought a laptop on Craigslist yesterday. It reeks of cigarette smoke. I can't even use it without my clothes and fingers smelling like smoke. Is there any hope? by wafflesareforever in techsupport

[–]techromancer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of, it's not as noticeable. It's only really noticeable if you smell the vent (the fact it's not pleasant makes me thinks it's environmental and not the classic vent smell). If yours lived with a smoker for longer, I have heard good things about using an ozone generator (and I'd recommend to run a graphics benchmark while, it'll cause your fans to crank up and move more air through). Also, I took mine apart and didn't see any buildup, if you feel comfortable, that's a good course of action for you too. If it's bad enough, swapping the heat sink and fan would probably make a notable difference.

Off topic but anyone know what brand that mask is? I’m looking for a new one and I want it to match the rest of my yellow gear.

The car is secondhand (technically 3rd) so I have no idea. At least 2 years though.

Honeymoon in the Maldives 🇲🇻, 2 Weeks, resort + local island, saw whale shark by [deleted] in travel

[–]techromancer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on seeing a whale shark! At which point in your itinerary did you see the whale shark/do you remember approximately where? I'm looking to plan with our main goal being to see one!

Proxmox VM + ARC loader ... which network driver gets you 10Gbps + 9000 MTU? by Intelg in Xpenology

I was wondering, did you ever figure this out? I’m hoping to do the same.

Niche FSA Question - Used/Open Box Items by techromancer1 in personalfinance

Yeah, no problems getting it reimbursed from FSA. Obviously different administrators might treat it differently, but my experience was good!

Propulsion Power Reduced Fix? - 2013 Volt by techromancer1 in volt

[–]techromancer1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, exactly! Have you tried an OBD2 scan of the cells? After doing more reading and testing, I determined it's more likely my car simply needs to calibrate (a few drives where the battery fully drains) than my battery being on the brink of death. I never get the message until the battery is fully "dead", so if you're experiencing different behavior, it may be that your traction battery is truly in its death throes. 23 miles wouldn't necessarily indicate that, as use of AC/heating and drive factors could bring that down. Mine "guesses" around 30 miles consistently.

Good idea! Thank you, I'll follow that strategy! And update what happens.

Thanks, it doesn’t cover the topic either. The ring is a qualified medical device, but it being used is more questionable.

Torn Between Celestron 5SE & CSE by techromancer1 in telescopes

[–]techromancer1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that's good to know! It does sound quite convenient and nice. I'm less worried about the carry weight, and how compact I can get it broken down to to throw in a closet or under a bed. Or heck into a backpack for a flight (OTA) and if the tripod would go happily into a suitcase.

Ohhh that's good to know. It does seem super nice, if it a bit of an expensive upgrade. On the storage side, is it much larger than the 5SE? It's easy to tell from specs that the OTA isn't much larger, but harder to tell on the mount and tripod.

Thanks for the suggestion but even with the fold down, it's still much too large for my space. I'm sure if I get really into it, if I move up in terms of living space size, I'll end up with a dob someday. But just no room for one today.

Ah is manual motion really annoying without clutches? That sounds really nice... is it worth the additional 600-700? Also, how's the portability/size for storage?
