    Brother MFC 8660DN: New Drum, or buy another all in one laser? need a copier

    Oh you use it for business, not for personal use at home. I should clarify. It was the 2nd cheapest Brother wired networked printer with a duplexing unit.

    Brother MFC 8660DN: New Drum, or buy another all in one laser? need a copier

    The DR520 drum is rated for 25k pages. You printed that much? FWIW, my Brother HL-5370DW has a DR620 drum also rated for 25k pages. I don't expect to ever replace it. I'm still on the factory toner cartridge and I've had it almost 5 years. I picked the 5370DW because it was the 2nd cheapest...

    Sump pumps which don't need water cooling

    Uh... The current used is a function of the mechanical resistance on the shaft of the motor + plus some near constant baseline amount of current consumed by it spinning idle.

    I don't have a key left in it. There is a key to unlock the inner handle very near the front door. That's great if you go in and out of your house through that door. If you don't that usage model doesn't really work. That sounds fairly similar to what I've got except you can't lock the inner...

    Abloy Protec2. One is a standard single cylinder. The other is a single cylinder with a locking inside handle, so it can be used like a double cylinder, or not as I see fit. It has an emergency key feature where the emergency key will only unlock the inside handle, but not the outside facing...

    I installed the new deadbolts today. It was definitely not a 5 minute job. I had to enlarge a number of of the existing cutouts in the door and door frame. A Dremel with a small sanding drum was my friend on the door frame. I got to use one of my chisels a fair bit also. I hope I never lose...

    I checked the tire pressure and the lug nut torque this morning. They basically inflated the tires to the max rating on the load sticker. I adjusted them down from the target 41/41 to 36/33. The DWS 06 has a higher load rating of 97 vs. the stock P7 Cinturato rating of 93, so I backed off the...

    There's a recall on my S4 for emissions, but in the opposite way. Apparently, the internal sensors in the car are set too stringently and may throw a CEL when it shouldn't. I haven't taken it in yet.

    Mostly laziness combined with a bit of desire to get as many miles out of the old summers before tossing 'em. I got the tires 6 months ago because I had originally planned to put them on at the beginning of the season. However, the P7 Cinturato weren't quite at the wear bars and still...

    It only took 6 months after getting them, but I finally got the DWS 06 tires installed this morning. I went to a shop with a Hunter GSP9700. Paid $177.21 out the door for mounting and balancing. Mounted tires were between 18 and 27lbs according to the report. It drives nice and straight with...

    1) Well, if they don't have a blank, they can't duplicate it. 2) I'm not going after un-pickable. I'm going after not easily picked/bumped/exploited. The problem as I see it is that if you don't try to aim at the far end of the "not easily picked" range you're likely to be just new one...

    I know. However, I don't see any point in changing them twice by replacing them tonight with some low grade Home Depot sold lock, though perhaps one without such an obvious flaw, and then replace them in a week with something good. They've kept out the honest people for 4+ years since that...

    Brass 5.56 is more than that. About $0.36 a round currently. The only thing you can shoot with an AR-15 that's brass cased & priced about $0.30 are .223 reloads.

    It's not a machine gun. Machine guns are Class 3 (NFA) controlled items and can't be owned without a stamp. An AR-15 is a .223/5.56 semi automatic rifle, not unlike a hunting rifle in capability, but with a scary looking pistol grip and a generally tactical appearance instead of a classic...
