Reply to What is the cheapest way to get ductless mini splits or central air installed? by MormonReformist
There are DIYs. And it's not overly complex, if you are good with tools.
If you are not, it's your house. You will end up saving about 10 grand, given your quote. But it is your house. You should consider the future value of the installation, as well as the value of a warranty.
Ignore the 'town inspector' worries. Mini splits are commonly installed by homeowners. You will need to use a licensed electrician, will need building permits, and potentially may need your main electric panel upgraded to a higher level of service.
Get the facts, do your homework. It can be done, but is it worth do it yourself in the long run.

Give.folks an idea what the problem with the current one is. You might find someone who might be willing to fix the problem easier than replace the car.

They do that when there is something ahead that you aren't meant to get near. A hazardous load, high value prisoner or any number of things.

Reply to CT residents would see billions in medical debt erased under Lamont plan: 'It's the right thing to do' by savings2015
So, can I get all the money back that, like a responsible citizen, I paid in medical bills over the years? Or does all this tax money just go to people who didnt bother?
I'm not rich. I just work. And pay my bills. And do my best to get ahead.

Answering my own question, I found the Irving in Chaplin on Rt 6 has it at 8.99/gal. Licked up 10 gal. today. Still insane, but better than prepackaged.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Manchester High School student charged for carrying gun on school grounds by Kolzig33189
Republicans and the NRA promote safe legal and secure gun ownership and handling.
Which one of those legal and constitutionally protected things are you having trouble understanding?
Nobody supports illegal gun ownership or violent use. Nobody.

Reply to ELI5: why does low haemoglobin have such dangerous effects (stroke, heart attack etc.) by Away_Establishment45
Hemoglobin. Is what carries oxygen to the entire body. Without enough every single cell is being shorted. Some are more sensitive than others - brain, heart, eyes.
Low hemoglobin is very dangerous.

Reply to ELI5: how can they spend our tax dollars but yet refund those tax dollars every year? by hktactical
They only refund the amount you gave them over what you had to.
You gave them a free loan.

Reply to local over the air tv channels? by beowolf66
So much depends on where you are.
Where I am, on the side of a ridge, I have zero OTA service available to me. Calculations say I'd need a 60 foot tower to start getting enough signal strength to view.
If you are in a flatter location, but a weak signal area, you may need to aim that antenna more precisely. There are websites that can give you the exact compass heading for each station.

Reply to Don't Go Capital View Apartments by _DELTA_EPSILON_
The beginning and end - you get what you pay for.
" usually run around apartment if food is left out" Tenant fault. Don't be a pig. " took too long to remove" Pick it up and put it in the trash. Tenant problem. " handled poorly and took 1.5 months to repair" Could be a valid complaint, but without knowing how severe, what the fix required was, and nowadays particularly whether there were supply chain holdups, hard to tell. "Due to packages being stolen" Working as intended, unless you want your things stolen. Are you paying extra for them to stay open? Didn't think so. "not turned off until fire department arrives at the building" Working as intended. Apartments are so dense chances can not be taken. "Packages have been stolen previously" Your fourth issue took care of this, but is not enough apparently. "Elevators are either constantly broken" If you are disabled call the state. If not, walk. " stove does not light without the use of a lighter." If the pilot is off, this is normal. Do they pay the gas bill? Maybe they shut them off? "trash is often piled up near the door" How are pigs for neighbors a management problem?
It's a crappy place to live, but you get what you pay for

Reply to ELI5 How specialised microchips can be altered to suit another purposed. For example a home appliance processor into a missile. by Bullinach1nashop
A microprocessor is a microprocessor. How and what it is interconnected with, and how it is programmed is what matters.
That said, common household products typically use custom chips dedicated to a specific purpose - but many everyday devices can be broken down and used for other purposes.

These are people who believe the child belongs to the state, but only if the state policies match their personal viewpoints.

You can't say negative things, or even say something that someone under the influence might take as negative, about Democrats here. You will be downvoted mercilessly by people who claim to practice 'tolerance'.

Reply to Is paying $205 a month for car insurance good for a new driver in CT? by AdditionUsual6376
That's so vague it's impossible to tell.
What kind of car. What level of coverage. Your age. Where you live. (No, not asking you to post them)
Those are the big ones that determine your rate. It doesn't sound horrible. Shop some of the online price quote sites and see how you fit there. That will tell you if it's reasonable or not.
