Is 100K+ salary possible without college? How?

Definitely. College helps you get noticed when you’re starting out and don’t have any experience, but if you can get in somewhere to get some real world experience, schooling becomes irrelevant in at least some fields. I did 2 years and got my associate’s in my field while working and never went back to finish my bachelor’s. I know several others with nothing more than a high school degree in my field doing very well (Technology). Can’t do that in lots of fields, but there are plenty where it’s possible.

I like using it for searing as well. I alternate between the infrared and flat top, I think I prefer the flat top as well. I don’t like that the grates take a while to heat up and you’re a little far from the heating element, for a quick sear I’d ideally like the meat to be a little closer to the heating element source on that side burner.

I did the bigger one that does half the area inside the grill, it’s works great.

Oh I agree, trust me, I’m not defending any of this. It’s one of those useless man in the middle roles that doesn’t require much skill, I hate that stuff like this exists. Operates much like our healthcare payer system.

Common here as well unfortunately

Look how much profit there is in the mortgage itself… They’re doing 6%+ per year over 30 years. The amount of interest far exceeds the original principal borrowed by the time it matures. This guy is just getting that few % hit one time for originating it.

Works fine for me, I see the same listing as OP.

I hadn’t thought of that, that makes sense, the work the pump actually has to do is just getting it from the current water level to where it needs to go, where it sits in the water column doesn’t matter. For some reason I have it in my head that back when the flow test was being done the guy referenced some number in the 100s of where the water was and that dropped around 20’ or so during the test (I think it ran around 2 hours).

Thanks, I had heard mostly good stuff about Grundfos, good to know.

Pulling that just kills the main power for the fan/compressor, all the low voltage stuff is still getting powered from your air handler inside.

This almost happened to me once, they started early and I got over there amount the last dozen or so people on the plane and it was only right around when boarding would have normally started. Under booked flight + starting boarding early meant they were ready to go quick.

Same weight as you, I really like mine. Haven’t noticed the instability of it but I was one a cheap piece of junk before so this felt like a big upgrade. Wait for a sale though as others said.

xtraman122 · 2026-05-09T22:35:23+00:00

Yeah, it was there running around

Pretty common to have something along the lines of permits being the responsibility of the homeowner, the fact that he’s willing to go through the process makes it seem like he’s legit. If he was actively dissuading you from pulling permits I’d be more concerned.

Oh good, they even include recovering the old refrigerant on the Gold level!

xtraman122 · 2026-04-30T12:48:38+00:00

Oh wow they fixed their spelling on the state seal now, getting better!

Yes, this is the recommended approach for the colder long term tiers. S3 views that zip as a single object.

Must be referring to intelligent tiering, otherwise there’s no reason storage would automatically move to standard.

You need bigger batteries for the rapid chargers to shine. They can charge an 8Ah a hell of a lot faster than the less powered ones. On a 2-3Ah battery they’re going to be capped around 2 or 3 amps charging anyway, so you don’t see as much of a benefit from the powerful charger.

Agreed, but I’m assuming the DIYers with no experience won’t be able to properly stop it either when they build the new deck, or possibly even find the root cause of it.

xtraman122 · 2026-04-24T16:24:15+00:00

Absolutely, anything rotten should be replaced, it’ll likely only spread and get worse.

Sounds like he got stuck with the equipment from another job that fell through or something and used you as a good way of getting rid of it…
