Hi all, setting off on a 500 mile road trip tomorrow on I-80, from CO to SLC. Will be towing a uhaul 6x12, probably around 4,000lb total. I've done long towing trips before with my old Tundra and a racecar on a hauler, so I'll be fine with the basics. My only concern is going to be the long hills and wind on I-80. I have the trans temp monitor on the screen, have the trailer setup in the trailer app, and I'm prepared for getting 10ish mpg. Will be keeping it in Tow/Haul mode the entire way.

Any other tips? Thanks!

Hi all, as the title suggests, how hard would it be to move a stove/oven unit from an island installation to a wall?

I've been looking at buying a house this year and have seen a ton of stove/ovens installed into the island in the middle of the room where it would be impossible to add a vent hood unless it came down from the ceiling and ruined the view into the open room.

I really want a nice vent hood for my stovetop so I can do legit high heat cooking inside year-round.

Thanks!

I'm so confused what this trend is.

I'm done. I've been using the blackshark V2 Pro's for over a year and have tried my best to give Razer Synapse a fair shot.. I'm just done. More than half the time I turn the headphones on or turn my PC on, my audio profile doesn't load and I have to power cycle the headset 3-4 times in a row before anything sounds normal. The software turns my microphone off randomly, and I'm honestly very disappointed with the microphone quality as well, which is one of the main reasons for my purchase. The hardware itself is fantastic but the overall experience with Razer's software and consistent connectivity issues has made it impossible for me to use their products anymore. FYI, I'm on Windows 11 Pro with auto updates and I keep all drivers are up-to-date.

If someone on the Razer team sees this, please.. PLEASE... fix your software. You will continue to lose customers because of it.

Hello all, I just purchased the Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT headset. I have been bouncing around different headset brands for a while and recently have been running the Razer Blackshark V2 Pro's, which I selected mainly for the microphone performance. Unfortunately, the software and connectivity have been incredibly finicky and extremely inconsistent. I was also pretty disappointed with the mic quality.

Anyways... I frequently switch my headset between my work laptop and my personal PC throughout the day and have been using a USB switch from Sabrent, which works well but I'd love to somehow eliminate it as I'm worried its reducing the sound quality.

I saw that I should be able to connect the XTs to my Laptop via bluetooth while also connected to my PC via the wireless dongle.. Would that decrease my battery life? Is there a way to segregate the modes so I can switch between them rather than hear both at the same time?

Hi everyone, I have two apple trees in my yard that are constantly shedding unripe apples onto the ground.

We have chickens so in the past, my compost bin was overfilled with wood chips from their bedding. I'm trying to swing it the other way by picking up the apples into a bucket, and using a drill auger to mash up the apples a bit and then adding that to the pile.

Is it possible to add too many apples?

Hi all, planning on building a chicken coop and run structure later this year. Based on a full material list (some treated boards but mostly untreated boards, plywood, and some metal roofing) price quoted from Home Depot, it'll be around $1K. I'd love to give my business to a local-owned lumber yard instead of one of the big box stores. Any suggestions? Anyone know what yards consistently beat HD and Lowe's prices?

I'm looking to get some input on how difficult it would be to either PPF or wrap my 24 Ranger XLT. If anyone has done it, what amount of material would I need? 300 sqft?

Also, anyone have an opinion on Matte/Satin PPF on a Silver truck? Figured it might be cool to change the appearance a bit if I do go with PPF.

The Ford Performance tune for the 2.3 (for my 2024 XLT) has a pretty steep price, but on paper the numbers look really good. For anyone who has done it, how has it effected your MPG? Additionally.. I wonder if adding a CAI kit, which also has added power/tq claims, would it add on or just mess up some of the tuning?

Hi everyone, been climbing for around 13 years and have tried a ton of different shoes throughout that time. In recent years, LaSportiva Solutions have been my main shoe for bouldering and sport climbing. Recently, I finally tried the Scarpa Drago LV for my hardest bouldering projects and have been loving them.

For my next shoe, I'd like to give Scarpa a shot for replacing my Solutions.. What are the main differences between the Instinct VS and VSR? Which do you think should be the "replacement" for the Solutions?

Thanks!
