Not that hot, maybe 50-60C, enough to get the moisture out of the filament and into the desiccant while not melting your spool or filament.
Was thinking to add a small fan to it one of these days, connected to a battery and on/off switch, but it's working really good as it is.
Just to add to this, i print mostly PETG and PETG-CF, barely any PLA.
What i do, is store all spools in a big sealed plastic tote with some bigger desiccant bags(100g).
To dry the filament(even if it's new from a sealed bag) i have a smaller plastic tote that will fit 1 spool with a heating pad(like the ones used for your medical purposes) on the bottom. Add the spool and let it sit fro 6-12 hours on top of the heating pad with the lid closed. Pretty cheap heated filament dryer.
Here's the heating pad i use, can be found on Amazon for $14: "Boncare® Small Heating Pad Without Auto Shut Off for Cramps and Back Pain Relief"
As i read it the insurance company reimbursed the crew that found the gold, and the insurance company owned the gold as well as they paid the original owners of the ship for their loss(but you can't own something that you don't have), they had to reimburse the crew that found it for their work/expenses etc. I might be wrong but that's what i got from the OP's story.
From what i've read about all their investment regarding this issue, many of the homes they purchased also needed extra investment/rehab.
I think they tried their hand at automation/ai purchasing as they had a lot of data but something fell really short of expectations.
What Z did is a bit outside of the current market norms so i wouldn't really use it as a market signal, i'm looking at it more as their idea/system just fell short.
But at the same time i was expecting the housing market to go lower into the start of this year, boy was i wrong as the market dynamics changed fast.
They paid above market for these houses in cash in order to get them and we don't know how much above market, only they and their AI know, that's what's causing them all the fuss now.
Same here, tried it on out last time out with the travel trailer. Canceled the plan after we got back home as it was terrible, and not to speak that we were in areas where it should have run flawless. Ended up using my main phone's connection for some of the work i had to do.
That specific point was more related to the market i'm in right now, so it's pretty much market/area depended and yes as you point out your mileage might vary as i've never taken rent into consideration for this use case.
With the market prices being as high as they are now and low inventory I would recommend you rent for now and get to know the new area/city first. It's a seller's market right now and there's a higher chance of you over-paying for a property right now.
I keep telling friends that i would rather buy a home with a lower price but higher rate/apr than vice-versa. You can always refinance, but you'll never be able to change the price you've paid.
Edit: Also worth noting that real estate markets are more local, so there exists the chance that you might still be able to find some affordable houses but depends on the area.
There is a high chance that they started closing their position. Just look at other long positions Melvin had and what those started doing, i'll give you a hint : they started going down due to the possibility of them starting to liquidate other positions to raise more cash for covering their shorts.
But this is also speculation, until they release their books on what they own nothing is 100% sure.
My comment wasn't really related to opensource, but in general to their new way of doing business.
Nothing wrong with changing the company's direction and trying to go full profit mode, just don't try to pretend everything's the same as before.
That was more a nod to the whole CentOS debacle and the way RH is doing business the last few years, plus this article relating to the free part. Not really related to opensource as i doubt they'll be able to escape that aspect, if they could they would have probably done that already as well.
Until they change their minds in a few months/years.
I really wish they would just go 100% paid and stop pretending they care about anything free at this point.
RH isn't the company that it once was anymore.
Edit: I'm sure this is not a popular opinion but it is what it is.
I'm sorry to hear about this man. Please check into your forbearance payment options as there might be more to it then you expect and you might have other options on the table, see [1].
Also to keep in mind that RE markets are regional. SF/NYC for example are out of bounds when it comes to this. Question is what is the actual value for each property, they might be under 1M but it might just be that that's their actual value, just more ppl trying to sell now.
I'm really not expecting to see a significant drop in home prices at least until close to the end of the year. While some vacation rentals owners might have listed their properties for sale they are doing it pricing those close to the current market value based on other properties for sale in their respective area.
We're looking for a vacation home and i'm monitoring the prices in a few areas pretty close, but i don't think we'll do anything until the start of 2021.
Remember you need surplus to drive price down.
Also keep in mind that the foreclosure process is currently on hold, once this opens again we'll be able to get a closer look at the impact all the closures had/have on the RE market.
I have a hard time believing that real estate prices will explode.
From what i can see the prices are expected to go down, mostly due to the fact that there's less ppl able to buy due to many being out of work(some for a good while probably as i doubt some jobs/positions will be immediately re-filled). This same thing will cause many to go into foreclosure, this adding new supply to the real estate market. Also banks already tightening credit/loans requirements and availability. All this means larger supply than demand, no reason for real estate to go up.
This is all just starting, curious to see what the end of 2020 will bring and start of 2021.
Also the market doesn't represent the economy and right now most of the money goes into the market creating a false-positive idea that everything's fine. Just my 2 cents.
Came here to say this but you put it better.
It's laughable that with all the changes that went in and voting on that bill they left the loophole open for big players to get access to this funding which was directed at small businesses/mom-and-pops shops.
But business and shitty politics as usual.
Not the worst idea(and i mean this in the context of the current situation) and been done in other countries but i have a feeling someone's going to abuse this in the end for other "needs" as it always happens.
This could be a direct consequence coming from the import/immigration of talent into the EU.
The best will leave once they see change coming and usually salaries and work culture could suffer on such changes.
Also being born and raised in East Europe i can say that we don't handle too great a mix with other cultures, as US does for example.
As a side note just want to point out that I had Google Maps route us thru side streets marked with "No Thru Traffic" in a newer neighborhood last week in Myrtle Beach SC area to save 1 min.
This was the first time i encountered this case.
That's the other part of the equation, you never know the intention of the buyer/seller and can only speculate. There's a general consensus on some types of orders going thru and the general expectation for those trades(ex. block vs split vs sweep, ITM OTM ATM and long term/short term expirations) where you can make a pretty good assumption but can never know for sure. Spreads are usually followed thru as being spreads and you can make that out as the trades go out together on the short/long legs etc.
Barchart while free it's having a lot of data that is actually not in the UOA category posted as UOA, i'm not sure how they get their data etc but it shows a bit of disconnect compared to what i would call unusual.
I tend to agree here as for ER the data is mixed even when it shows to be directional, i don't trade ERs in general as i don't like trading binary events, to much lotto.
Just want to point out that even for someone in the US 450EU/day is not really that low. Granted there's $100+/hour some are charging bu it's not really a regular for > 6 months contracts. Salutare!
One thing about Aldi is that it has a lot of seasonal items, and by that i mean items you can only find a specific time of year for a specific period(ex. 2 weeks only for X item).
We shop at Aldi a lot for a long time and in the last year we've seen it starting to get more packed with people.
