New England B.S. Thread

The insane thing is newer MacBooks have USB-C chargers. It makes no sense to leave them off of the phones.

I am not a big fan of my Galaxy S10e, but I loved my S7 Active. I got it instead of a normal S10 because that phone has a curved screen which I think is the most pointless feature to ever appear on a phone. It still feels like they made sacrifices to make it look pretty. The edges of the screen are still slightly curved and make it tough to get a screen protector to adhere. Because the front of the phone has no real bezel, the proximity sensor is in the panel and is designed to only work in phone calls--that makes the always-on display stay on in my pocket, so I disabled it. The excellent camera and good performance overall are its redeeming qualities.

If the Pixel 4a has wireless charging, I think I may get one of those. Didn't like the limited battery life on the regular Pixel 4, and the XL is too big. I liked everything about the 3A except the lack of that feature. I eventually started to wear out the port on every phone I had, so the wireless charging helps.

 

My iphone 7 and my wife's iphone 8 have that stupid curved edge screen. I have broken 2 screens before I got my bolt on case, she's now broken 3 and I told her after 2, 1 more and she's getting the tank case and no arguments.

I used to use the wallet case method and absolutely loved it, but it's not worth about 300$/year in new screens. Horrible, horrible phone design with that stupid no-bezel screen setup. Hate it.

 

I have clearbra on my headlights - I had Eastside Motoring in Waltham, MA do it. Talk to Brian and tell him Jason Lee sent you over - good guy.

 

Anyone here monitor their trans temps? I'm seeing 230 degrees sometimes when I'm going uphill on the highway - is that... okay? lols

4.0L Automatic 2nd Gen

 

I monitor mine on my 3rd gen and it is commonly around 195*, my buddy's 4R is usually a lot cooler.

 

Unloaded?!?! No, that's not good. Should be much closer to 200.

 

Well... with everything that's mounted to my truck. haha

 

I saw that before my trans cooler upgrade, while towing 5k+lbs in bumper to bumper traffic when 90 degrees outside......post upgrade, only once for a split second while pulling up large hill in NH.....you sir need an upgrade. Not expensive either. No load i'm typically 150-195.

 

I don't recall what Toyota's spec is for the ATF but Ford's fluid apparently is in jeopardy of breaking down above 225-230 based on my own research. I want to say Toyota's fluids are similar. Might be time for some supplemental cooling!

 

Yes, I see that too sometimes.

 

No idea how valid any of the discussion is here:

What did you go with?

Pretty sure when i originally bought this it was only like 50ish bucks

Edit: had a coupon back then so got it for 61

 

After a few canceled orders, and my own struggle of getting the area for it level, the greenhouse is finally up. Need to install the auto vent openers, and screw down the base, but that won’t take long.

 

Haha I think it's because everyone's out! Haha

 

What does something like that go for? Might be a nice alternative to stinking up the house with my cannabis plants.

 

This is great!!
Was thinking of building some hot boxes for our spring/fall seasons.
These are slick!

 

That was my motivation, sick of the electric bills and my Mom looking at me funny when I'm drying things out

This version is 6x10x7 and in silver is around $600, we got it in green which adds about $200. Amazon canceled my order after delaying it for 3 weeks, refunded me....then shipped it anyways

I got a high wind tie down kit, and the auto openers as well, all total really should have been about 1-1200. Which isn't super cheap, but I can recoup my costs on less than a plant if I get a good grow in. Right now I have two photo periods in there and 5 auto's.

I have been wanting one, the wife finally is starting to get a greenthumb and wasn't against it...so I made my move while I could!! We will start regular veggies in there next spring to mix in with my crops as well.

How you been! Haven't seen ya around here much, happy schools out and you don't have to teach your own kids AND everyone elses I know my SIL was at the breaking point.

 

I'm melting!!!

 

This is nice weather though...
