So, my friends and I are relatively "new" to the game - we have about 60 hours each in it.

It's definitely a fun game with a ton of potential, and it is visually incredible, but we're getting pretty burned out/frustrated at how repetitive and "anti-fun" certain things tend to be.

It's "good" that the paid currency is available via gameplay, but actively pursuing it is just boring. It's not hard or difficult in any real way; but it's just... so jarring to go from exciting, intense combat utilizing all of our teamwork to dumbly wandering the maps on easier difficulties to farm. Super credits feel completely tacked on and exists only to screw up the pacing of unlocks and/or narrow your choice

My SO and I gained a lot of useful tidbits from this subreddit/community, so wanted to try and return the favor.

I'm going to just spill out a bunch of information that I can remember off-hand.


Location: Aurora, Colorado

Home purchase price: $400,000 @ 5.5% interest rate - we did buy points. I put 5% down. Went with Guild Mortgage as the lender (very fast, streamlined process. Impressed with them.)

~1,800 square feet. Bi-level (which is different from split-level, I learned.)

Our real estate agent was Dallas Dyer. She works for Redfin, at the moment. Follow the agent, not the company. Absolutely incredible agent - kind and honest, and provided a ton of advice on repairs and possibi

I'm having a difficult time finding an electric range with double ovens that have convection/air fry functionality in both the upper and lower ovens. The difficulty is mostly because appliance/item descriptions don't care about mentioning limitations until you read into the details/parenthetical/footnotes. Very annoying.

Although, it may not be possible when considering my budget - I'm trying to stay around $1,000 maximum.

Are double ovens with convection in both ovens a premium feature that is found only in high-end models/brands?

I'm looking to buy a couple soon. Probably two dual-zone systems to DIY.

I've spent the most time browsing on Amazon, HVACdirect, and Home Depot.

Are there any particular favorite shops to purchase from?

First time homeowner here. Bought a bit of a fixer-upper (only way I could afford a home, haha), and currently installing some simple 12mm laminate flooring.

​

I've reached the side of the room that has a guard railing installed (bi-level home, I'm working on upper level). The railing looks bolted/screwed directly into the plywood subfloor.

​

Do I need to uninstall the railing, install sill plate (1-inch thick?), reinstall the railing, then undercut the plate for the flooring (and expansion gap)?

​

Thanks for any input!

I'm been digging around for several hours trying to find a simple way to share files out of my NAS, should the need arise.

If I've got a large-ish file in my NAS (say, a few hundred MBs, or a TB or two) that I want to send to my friends/family,
what's a simple, nice way to allow them to download it?

I'm thinking of something similar to https://www.justbeamit.com/ or https://file.pizza/ ,
and they are pretty close to the kind of useability I'm after,

but they require my web browser to stay open.

I'd like to avoid the need for a login/username and password.

I guess I'm after some sort of webserver/web app that has

I'm about to buy the ASRock B450 GAMING-ITX/AC motherboard; just wondering if anyone has a similar type of motherboard they're looking to sell.

The ASRock is about $124 right now, so any offers to that would help me get something equivalent, yet save me a bit of money, would be great.

Thanks for any considerations!

EDIT Mar 17: I went ahead and bought the board from Amazon. Thanks for looking anyways!

Stripped the nut circled in Red. Is Blue still an option?

So, I've made progress towards replacing the starter in my 2006 NC Miata (which is a nightmare for the amateur DIYer such a myself, by the way. Just pay a mechanic).

But, I've now stripped the bottom nut that secures the starter motor. See diagram above - stripped nut is circled in red.

Did I just do myself in, here?

I noticed that the nut is what secures the wiring harness to the starter motor, but I am not sure if the thing that actually secures the starter motor itself is a second nut, or if that's the actual bolt.

Can I attempt to remove the [nut/bolt] (circled in blue in the diagram)?

Initially, it looked like Laugarvatn Fontana was the easy choice because of the price difference while still providing a nice hot spring and suana, but it looks like prices have increased since last year; now there's only a ~2200 ISK difference between the two.

Is Blue Lagoon worth the additional cost? Are their facilities that much better?

Edit:

Laugarvatn Fontana it is! Thank you for input, everyone.
An actual quiet and relaxing experience is what I'm after, and it sounds like Blue Lagoon is a bit more touristy than I would prefer.

Secret Lagoon is tempting, and maybe I'll change my mind later, but for now I want some simple facilities like sauna and restaurant on site, and Laugarvat

I was using Windows Server 2012 R2, had FreeNAS running in a virtual machine with my 3 spinners passed through to it, and things were working well.

Friend gifted me Server 2016 for my birthday, so I went ahead formatted and reinstalled my host OS (VMs are on a different partition), imported the FreeNAS machine, and things seemed good and working.

Well that all went to hell when I stupidly decided to hit the Upgrade button in the FreeNAS web UI, and I quickly learned that installs of FreeNAS to a Server 2016 Hyper-V machine do not work - FreeNAS just doesn't communicate properly over the virtual network adapter. Or something like that; who knows what different thing in 2016 Hyper-V stops it
