Why did you have to get a new breaker box if you already had 30 amp service to your detached garage. I’m going to be scared if you tell me what I think I’m going to hear.

Their home theater has a minimally finished closet behind the TV, so you can literally walk behind all of the equipment to run and organize cables or install new things. It's quite handy. There are four pair of "house music" speakers with separate volume controls, all driven by a vintage RCA receiver. The primary source plugged into it is a Fire tablet.

but I would shop at Mikes if I was in the area. Read through the listing, and down below the long list of equipment and some stuff about their inspection process, they had this buried in there

I'll make sure he gets cabling for 5.2.4 set up, and HDMI cables for a Blu Ray, Set top box, Gaming console and one out to his projector or TV.
I so wish I had the opportunity to wire my theater room to my specs. They put an outlet and HDMI for the projector but no speaker wiring

In other news, reports of two flying cars (that really look more like oversized 4-rotor drones) crashed into each other at an event in China and one burned up. Back to the drawing board I guess.

I tuned out when I saw where they do a 172 step inspection. I’d have to see that check list. They must be counting every PSI in all 4 tires and the spare.

I should have known they did something like that.

"10101010101"s and signals either flow, or they don't. If you're getting any sort of hiss or noise, I always start with it being a cable issue. The thicker the gauge, the better. The better the connecting material, the better the build quality, the longer they'll last.
Paying more doesn't get you better sound. Corroded wiring introduces noise. If it's corroded, change it. I don't care what the brand. I know people who swear they can hear differences. I have 5 figures invested in my 2-channel system. I have used all sorts of wiring and cables. Have heard no difference. It's the old "if it costs more, it must sound better. I don't subscribe to that. All of my wiring and cables came from Amazon.
I use this stuff. However, tarrifs has caused it to double in price since I bought mine...

Well said GG. I subscribe to the same methodology regarding cabling.

V6 > 4-cylinder which skews your gas mileage savings too.
If someone spends $10,000 on a 11 year old Toyota to get it to last 5 more years I suddenly don't feel so bad for buying a new $15K engine for the S4. If you did spend that much on an old Toyota, chances are you have a new engine and transmission already as part of those costs so the car would still be good for 5 more years after 5 more years.
That’s what I thought you were going to say.
Adding a box that can accommodate more breakers should not be done if the supply line to it is not large enough to handle the rating of the new panel, which I suspect it isn’t. More than likely the supply line to your garage is not large enough to carry the rating of the new panel. My guess would be it’s no larger than #8 gauge copper wire which is rated for up to a maximum of 40 AMPS with a maximum run length of 100 feet. I’ll assume you’re OK here, if and only if, nothing smaller than #8 gauge copper wire was used.
Now, having said that, since you can control the use of power in your garage, if you charge with no other loads at the same time other than a light or two, you should be OK. You probably won’t do this but I’d touch one of the individual supply wires to the panel to see if it gets warm while you’re using your charger. If it gets warm to the touch, your supply line to the panel is undersized and I would not trust that condition.
One more thing, if/and when you go to sell your house and the electrical inspector does his job right and sees a code violation (cable size, panel size, etc) he won’t pass the electrical inspection for your garage.

I brought the 2024 Crown to Toyota for an oil change which was overdue on time. I also needed a state inspection. The car has only 13,700K miles. I was pleasantly surprised when the service writer told me the service was covered by Toyota and I have one more free service left. The total cost was $10 for the safety inspection. The covered cost was listed as $131 which included oil and filter "Multipoint inspection" and tire rotation. Both cars are running and driving great and we are set for close to a year.

Making a mental note not to post a picture of my box of spare speaker wire, most of which dates to the 80s or 90s. Some of undetermined gauge and not that was the fancy stuff.

I paid to have an instructor with me to gain knowledge and confidence, and that was money well spent. It’s the same instructor who led the corporate event I attended about a month ago. At least now I feel fairly comfortable going out again on my own.
There is a Porsche Club of America event this weekend, so there were plenty of serious race-ready Porsches taking practice laps today. Should have taken more pictures…alas, all I got was one of my plain old Subaru!

Downstairs it's a mix of AR and BJC cables most leftover from when I converted the main HTS to 7.1

To be honest some of the best cables are Belden Coax and Canare RCAs. I have a few. They will last forever.

Thoughts? ‘16. Well under 100K miles. Same 2.5 from the Camry.

(also, 50% chance somebody traded that car in for an Altima or equivalent... that would give me pause.)
