Aven 3% up to 100k home equity credit card - Lemmy.World

I feel like I’m missing something with this card. I currently use a 2% cash back card, so 3% seems like a simple upgrade. I pay my card off every month without fail, and have for years. This card would use my house as collateral, which poses additional risk if I default. Has anyone else looked into this or gotten one? Is there some catch I’m missing? I can’t figure out how they’re making money on this.

Reverse Osmosis water system for sink and fridge - Lemmy.World

Our town’s water keeps failing to meet DEP standards, so I’m investing in a filtration system for our drinking water. What I think I’m looking for is: - Has a tank, since there are 5 of us - Filters out lead, PFAS, PFOA, etc. (Which is why I’m leaning towards RO) - Good warranty and customer service, for when something inevitably goes wrong - Remineralization (picky about water taste) - UV (maybe?) Does anyone have recommendations for a quality brand, or one that they’ve had for years that they like? I’m not sure where to even start.

What are these wires? - Lemmy.World

I bought a house a few months ago and I’m still trying to figure out all the wiring. I found these coming out of a cabinet in the kitchen. I think (?) the black one is a cut-off coax cable. There’s a LOT of coax in this house, so that seems straightforward (but I would still love if someone can confirm!) I’m not sure about the other ones. They don’t look electric, as I’d expect electric to be black + white + copper, like the rest of the house. There is supposedly a speaker system in the house (I see speakers) but I haven’t figured it out yet. Could that be power for the speakers? I’m not familiar with speaker wire setup. If it’s speakers, why would there be so many wires?

Label maker for home use - Lemmy.World

I’m looking for an inexpensive label maker that can print small labels. I need to label various things around my house for my sanity (outlet/breaker mapping, coax endpoint mapping, etc). I was going to buy a NIIMBOT D110, but then I saw in their FAQ that they put an IC (chip) into their labels and the printer won’t print if it can’t sense it. I really don’t want to support a company that DRMs their consumables, if I can help it. Can anyone recommend a good, small, inexpensive label maker? Preferably one that doesn’t have sketchy DRM embedded.

Are avid 2FA supporters angry because of the lead from bullets? - Lemmy.World

I was reading about how the EU is thinking of reducing the lead used in ammunition because it’s polluting the environment. I wonder if regular lead exposure at the firing range is addling people’s brains.

exercise for us? - Lemmy.World

Exercise is hitting. My brain gives up way before my body does. Even when I try and listen to music or watch shows while exercising, I just can’t keep at it. Has anyone found an ADHD friendly way to exercise?

Has anyone created their own instance and modified it? How about the same for the Android client? There are some features I’m desperately missing and I’m not against DIY.
