im going to wire in a timer next year then. I wish there was some sort of wifi option these days though. Hell my back yard irrigation can be used with an app. -

for sure, I remember my layovers in Detroit, airport was COMPLETELY dead. departure status screens were able to be consolidated onto only one. Eerie but man was it a great time to travel. -

dude at the pool store said I should run it 24/7...maybe its due to my filter type? I have a DE Filter. -
PC Tech Snagged an Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16 laptop
SmugPrick posted a topic in PC/Mac Technical and PCCB
I was in the market for a laptop to replace my 2016 MBP and initially I was just going to get a new model MBP until I realized they got rid of the touch bar. I did a bunch of research and was between the Razer Blade 15 Advanced and this Zeph Duo. I wanted something that was still relatively sleek. I had a gaming laptop back in 2014 and it was an albatross in size. Overall, I am liking this Zeph Duo the more I understand the capabilities of the 2nd monitor. It works VERY well when gaming and you want to keep an eye on your discord, or use Asus's Armory Crate and get all your PC's diagnostics in a handy spot. It has the AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX with the 3070 Ti. Ive not been on an AMD CPU since the old Athlon XP 2100 days, but Ive been a bit impressed with this CPU. Overall, Im going to test drive this another week and then determine if I want to just go with the Razer Blade and the i9. -

I have a 25k gallon in ground pool. There is now wifi chemical measuring devices that will send a notification to your phone that your PH is too high/low, chrlorine levels, etc. Its called WaterGuru...well worth the money. In terms of maintenance, if you just keep up on things like backwashing your filter and keeping your skimmer baskets clean, youll be ok. Avoid dumping your chlorine into the shallow end because itll fade your liner. If you live in a cold winter state, basic winterizing like blowing out your return pipes and adding anti freeze to the skimmer is important to avoid cracking and creating costly repairs. All that being said, the only thing I had to replace was the pump motor (500 bucks)…they last about 3-4 years (and when you get to that point, install yourself - super easy - just a motor swap and wiring it in for proper config (240v vs 120). I dont know what folks are talking about "time and money". The only time I waste is plugging in the pool roomba every sat morning and adding chemicals MAYBE once a week. The only money you spend is on a bucket of chlorine and your PH up and down. A decent size bucket of chroline is about $220 (itll last you a season in conjunction with an inline chlorinator that you purchase pucks for (around 60 bucks for enough to last a season). PH up and Down is like 20 bucks for a bag. Really the only cost is your increased energy bills for the summer (and occasionally topping off the pool from evaporation). Lastly, I highly encourage your contractor to put screw up anchors in your poured pool deck. Critical for covering the pool. Also a solar cover (around 250-300 bucks). Itll save you on your gas bill should you want to run your pool heater for night swims. All In to run the pool this year, it cost me roughly around 1100 in chemicals and a pool motor + an increase of around 300 a month between Gas, Elec, and water. Pool was open from Memorial to late September...so lets call it another 1200...or 2300 all in for a season (minus 500 next year as I wont need to replace the pool pump). It is what you decide its worth. To me, 2300 for some damn fun memories all summer was worth it. -

I only fly first class, but Ill tell you this as someone that travelled 3-4 times a month during covid...IT WAS FUCKING FANTASTIC not being jammed into a plane. Even in 1st class not having someone sitting next to you was glorious. All this being said, you missed out. of course we are all paying for that luxury now with these terrible flight costs. No reason why a flight I took pre-covid was 300 vs 750 now. -
