Another one being another Nest or another thermostat altogether? Also, what sort of issues were you having? Like I said...it hear and cools when I ask it to, maybe I am jus overthinking it but it seems odd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

I decided to replace my older "Dico" thermostat with the "Nest" Thermostat. It's designed by one of the designers of the original iPod. It is pretty cool, integrates with mobile apps, etc. Supposedly super easy installation, which is was, however I always seem to be the one whom has a complicated setup when most people seem to have a simple one. Let me first state that it may be a dual fuel system, meaning gas or heat pump. However, we do not have the gas connected. It also *may simply mean that it is a heat pump and auxiliary/emergency heat. I do not know much about HVAC, a buddy of mine knows quite a bit, we think we wired it correctly. It does spit out cool air when cooling, and it does spit out warm air when warming, so it is working. However, and perhaps it is simply because I am messing with it more and thinking about it constantly, but it *seems I've noticed the following: Takes longer to cool Perhaps the sensor is off a few degrees I am going to get another thermometer to verify the heat sensor to see how accurate it is. And as far as taking longer to cool, perhaps not, but I just seem to think that. Anyways, here is the reason for this thread. Here is the wiring: Here was the wiring setup in my old thermostat: Here is the wiring for the Nest 2.0: Here is how the Nest 2.0 *thinks it is wired: What do you all think?

It's just all for show, nothing more. Of course you all know this. When you or I picture the weapons he is talking about blocking the importation of, we know they look like this: However, most of the people that are supporting Obama and generally think like Obama likes them to are picturing this: And even possibly this: (Not that there is anything wrong with those:) So, now you will have all sorts of people claiming that Obama saved us all because he blocked the importation of "military grade weapons" that would have been used by all sorts of madman against fellow Americans. Politics as usual. Interested to see what will become of trusts and whatnot. However, I have a question for the President, if this "loophole" was so little known, why is it such a big deal to close it? I guarantee that those registering NFA weapons to this "loophole" have caused less innocent bloodshed than a certain group of people that has watched that one movie with Vin Diesel and all those cars a few too many times.

If it's leather you want, then I would say that the Belroy wallets have always intrigued me. I doubt I will get one because of the price.   Currently I use a Spec-Ops Brand T.H.E. Wallet. I like it, but it is nylon. It is very tough, I've been using it for probably 5 years now.   http://www.slimfoldwallet.com However, I am curious about the Slimfold Wallets. They are made of Tyvek. I like how thin they are. I have been considering giving one of them a try vs. my Spec-Ops Brand. Roughly $20, so not a lot to lose.   I'm trying to stay away from leather.

Been thinking about the TFO's. I 100% love the look but have read so many stories about the fiber rods backing out. I just had a Trijicon fail me and they refuse to replace it, so I am heavily considering TFO's. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Well, Nationwide countered and is offering a premium of $92.92 a month from ~$105. It is still a bit more than the $80 from Geico, but they did make an attempt. Also, to get the $80 from Geico the policy must be paid in full for 6 months. If not, they add a $5 amount to each monthly payment.   Thinking of Sticking with Nationwide because it's the easy thing to do, but still have a bit to change my mind.

As a sidenote, every time I scroll down and see this title my eyes interpret it as "Bluetooth Bullets" and then I start thinking of these high-tech bullets that will interface with your phone and tell you things such as grouping, time between shots, and whether or not they hit your target based upon materials impacted.   It could be like a real life hit counter when set to "defensive mode". Your phone vibrates in your pocket every time one of the bullets hits flesh.   Of course, this would never work.   /That's what they said about flying  :squint:

  Well, I am just finding it conflicting that a lot of people are claiming "they will take you even if you aren't military now", yet it does not seem to be the case unless they are referring to allowing family members now.

  How do you get them if you are not military or do not have a family member that makes you eligible?

  I tried to, but I don't think that their insurance is for non military folks. My Father was USMC, but he is not and has never been a member of USAA. He isn't really the type to switch insurance to save a few bucks either. I may mention it to him.   Unless you have reason to believe I can somehow get it (I tried, but it said I was not eligible).

  Tried to find the course, perhaps it is easier to find when a member, but all I could find were courses that were roughly $20 a person.   I think it also depends on the state you live in.

A coworker seems to think that one should be careful when switching between insurance companies because one could end up uninsured because companies would no longer insure you if they see that you have a history of switching.   I don't see this as the case, but is there any truth to you? I've always heard it is smart to shop for prices every six months.

Well, I suppose that is something that could be an issue with any insurance company, and whether you pay extra for OEM replacements. Right?

  What do you mean regarding aftermarket parts?

The main common thread I see amongst all of these posts is...it seems to depend on who you are in regards to which is the cheapest. Allstate was stated as being the cheapest, but they were one of the more expensive ones for me. Geico was stated as being expensive, but they so far are the cheapest for me. 

Alright everyone! Reach under your seats and pull out your brand new Glock 19! Free from TGO!   Wait...

It'd be shaving my monthly payment from $105 to roughly $80, that's substantial!

Should I switch? Can that cause any problem switching back and forth to the cheapest quote? I've heard it is smart to shop and switch, it is isn't it? Will they sometimes at least try and keep you by price matching?

I've been with Nationwide for a while now. Time for renewal is next month, so I've been receiving some quotes. I've found that if I switch to Geico, I can supposedly save roughly $25 a month if I switch to them. The coverage amounts are the same for this quote. Should I do it? I am probably going to send an email to my Nationwide agent later with documentation showing the quote. Think they'll try and match it? Is Geico good insurance? I like the little gecko guy.

Today while performing routine maintenance on my carry piece, while handling the previously chambered round I thought back to this story. That made me conclude that if a spark did indeed set the round off, it must have ignited the powder first instead of the primer. Otherwise I think we'd also set off a lot of live rounds (blackpowder or smokeless) by igniting the primer.    Thoughts?

+1 for Raven Concealment. They make it VERY easy to carry with a light attached. Would be even easier with no light, but I love my X300 Ultra. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Who is hiring you, the general contractor or the foreman?

Very small yard, I don't believe size would be the issue here. Thought a lot about the length though, guess one would probably need to have a backup gas mower just in case it did get too tall. So it does take quite a bit longer?

Ever since my wife and I got married and started renting our current house, I've been using an old and abused gas push mower. It really needs replacing, it is just something I have been putting off because each time I mow it "gets the job done". However, it really needs replacing.   I'm interested in the "old style" manual push mowers such as the one linked here:   http://www.amazon.com/Great-States-415-16-16-Inch-Standard/dp/B00002N691/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1377297632&sr=8-3&keywords=reel+mower   Benefits I'd see are:   Gas savings Lower cost than a new gas mower Quiet   Possible disadvantages:   Possible longer cutting time Possibly "more difficult" Probably have to keep the grass a more uniform length because I doubt it works if the grass is too high (maybe)   I have never been around them, but I'd bet money that someone on here has. Any input?
