There are a variety of cables and adapters, one way or another you should be able to manage it. If you have an older PC/video card, it may only have VGA. If it's newer, it will have HDMI and/or DVI. Your TV needs to be new ENOUGH, but if it's an LCD flat screen at all, it should have at...

I definitely have double pane, then. Silver section is there. We cranked up the heat last night and left it up around 22C, turned on all the ceiling fans, and it made a noticeable difference on the windows. But it also warmed up to -10C as of this morning, so that might've played a role...

Oh! Interesting. Okay, thanks.

41% is "far too high?" Or is my thermostat lying?

I'm not sure of anything with the windows, no. I just see vinyl and assume they're relatively new/modern.

Just an old repurposed Windows 7 dell machine from work, standard keyboard and mouse, which I hook up to a 42" Sony 1080p flat screen. That way I can watch the fights or a race if I want, or stream youtube or listen to music all in one. I like the idea of a tablet for space saving, but I know...

I've no doubt I could do with better windows. Winter tends to be dry, especially here. We have a brand new, modern super-duper furnace. It definitely FEELS dry in the home, I have dry mouth when I sleep, that's for sure. And like I said, the thermostat says it's low 40s, which is "normal."...

You definitely won't notice from a driver's standpoint. But yes, parts guy here, and WIX is significantly higher quality than Fram. You did the right thing. There are things you can do to analyze the oil, but you kinda have to know what you're doing. You can also send the oil away for...

Kind of a weird situation, perhaps someone who knows windows, or HVAC, could chime in with some ideas. This is what the windows in my house look like right now. It's -22C outside. During the Fall, which was pretty humid, the windows had a lot of moisture on them. Now in winter, it's...

Subscribed. I currently have my weight training equipment crammed into my office in the house, and I'm realizing there just isn't the right amount of room for it. So I have the large two-car shop, and I'm considering trying to figure out a way to get an Olympic bench and maybe a squat rack in...

Couple of times a season in the racecar. Never on any street vehicle I've ever owned. Unless you count changing calipers often ENOUGH that it basically changes all the fluid eventually?

I have a classic car so I keep SAE handy, but I use metric 95% of the time.

E30 Coupe always looks good. That's a... challenging workspace for it. :beer:

I dunno about "tools" in general, but when I got the shop organized and tools put away.... and THEN organized my "house tools" in the basement... I realized I DEFINITELY have way too many damn screwdrivers. I still have a 5 gallon pail in the basement with leftover screwdrivers.

All three houses we bought over the last 12 years or so, one of the first things I checked was a the dryer vent when we moved on. All three were plugged damned near solid. It's insane that people don't think about it. At our last house it was so bad that a normal load of clothes took over 3...
