NATO is a thing, friendly waters. Totally fine.

Nah I’m not knowledgeable on it. I just read that some people were having it done at a cost of $6k-$8k for popular car models that were easy to work on.

Sure thing. I think I read that some had paid between $6-8k for conversions.

Buy an older ICE car, pay for an EV conversion.

“the thing” is the induction top.

I was using either steel or nonstick pans on the induction stovetop. It was a new home build. It’s possible someone didn’t do something right with the electrical when built, but it’s also unlikely.

Nuts.

Takes sooooo long to heat up pans and I could never keep the thing clean. Food gets baked on and to clean it meant scratching it.

I switched to gas for the first time ever with a new house and I can use Woks again, pans heat up stupid fast, I can actually cook better and more consistently. I love it. It’s honestly a guilty pleasure now because I do minimize consumption for so many other things already.

I have solar and shit too, hybrid hot water, etc. etc.

A TORPEDO??? wtf is going on from TX to NY waterway

I did it for years. I loathe it.

It’s about what I paid for an 8kw system in the northeast. Shave off $500-$1k and you’ll be even with me. I got quotes from a dozen companies if that helps. After sifting through new, old companies and “too good to be true” pricing, that’s where I landed.

I use a related phrase in Photoshop. If you have something selected, the movement around the thing is “running ants”.

I did the same and it more than halved it moving from a southern to a northern state.

*in the US, if they are w2. If contractor, they must provide the tools themselves.

Always compare active ingredients for OTC stuff too

Flour - disagree. King Arthur for baking vs your basic supermarket crap is a tangible taste and texture difference in baking. While you’re at it, get a mill and buy organic wheat berries and save money for higher quality l, more nutritious flour. It’s literally cheaper to get better quality if you are willing to mill it.

Butter- Same for butter if you’re using butter as a spread. It’s ok to use cheap stuff in cooking but if it’s the main complementary flavor, like butter on toast, treat yo self to some Kerry Gold.

Pocket to aggregate everything

I can tell you from experience. You definitely can’t, but I can start and run an online e-commerce business by myself to give you a shoestring budget.

So that being said, if using Shopify for ecommerce, Adobe for creative, paying for your domain name with Namecheap, and registering your business with your local government, it costs me about $220/mo to run an ecomm business by myself.

Realistically, you could use open source replacements for Adobe products too, but I like their stock imagery as well. Take that out, and you’re at about $120/mo plus processing fees for each transaction.

If you don’t need an e-commerce site, you can use something like light speed for a free website. Even WordPress. Add free social media for a boost.

So now this means you’re down to only $20/mo if not using an e-commerce site.

You can learn everything you need to run these sites between dev docs, support articles, forums, blogs, and YouTube videos. All free.
