    Sactoking's ACA Q&A Thread

    I hope this is still being read. My employer was under 50 employees a couple years ago (fall 2013 I think) and stopped providing health insurance and let us purchase subsidized insurance on the exchange. Now the company has grown and they are offering us health insurance again that meets...

    How easy is it to replace an old Sears garage door opener? (Update- DONE!)

    I just had something similar happen on mine. If I unhooked the door the opener worked normally. As soon as there was a load it was basically skipping. I disassembled the gear housing and the big circular gear that worm gear from the motor attached to had almost cracked in half. Took the...

    Silent Hunter Online Open Beta

    Apparently Silent Hunter Online went into Open Beta recently. www.silenthunteronline.com I played GATO and Seawolf back in the day so I'm giving this a shot. Is anyone else playing it?

    Waterproofing the basement!

    It was a little more than that. I was actually expecting to pay 50% more than I did based on people I had talked to. The exterior system was 4ft+ deep in places due to my basement window wells. Since they were 4 feet deep the only way to discharge the water is via a pump in that instance...

    Waterproofing the basement!

    First of all, kudos to you for making me come out of "Lurker" status. I just had my unfinished basement waterproofed by professionals. We have a sump pump but were still getting water in via the previous owners french drains / foundation wall cracks (1950's house) / window wells. They dug...

    Suggestions for a thin bi/trifold wallet?

    http://www.bigskinny.net/ I have the compact sports wallet. Love it. I hate a thick wallet.

    I just spent $30 on a game. If anyone would be willing to give me some advice I'd appreciate it!

    Mechwarrior Online (Previously MW5/MW3015)

    Neither have I. Tempted for the founders pack but hate to buy into a game blind.

    [MMO] World of Tanks

    Usually I tell my team 'that platoon is good / skilled / deadly' and a lot of times my team will specifically target them. I've won a lot of games with skilled platoons on the other team and vice versa.

    Squad Level Tactial Games - Ideas/Criticisms

    I replayed that game more often than any other game in my library. A part of me died in the "remake" of it.

    Alternatives to Untangle

    I just set up a pfsense http://www.pfsense.org/ box over the weekend to replace my router. I'm only on a 768k/128k DSL connection and kept getting frustrated by Steam consuming every single bit of bandwidth on an update. Took me a little bit but I've got Steam limited to 256k now. Also...

    http://forum.worldoftanks.com/index.php?/topic/75524-m103-usa-t34-move-to-premium-delayed-again/ Still have lots of time to grind for that T34 it seems. Overlord said... Q: Overlord, wasn't the M103 switch supposed to be in this 7.1 as well? A: Yup, it was. However we badly need to...

    [MMO] World of Tanks

    FYI - M103/T34 move to premium not happening until 7.2 or later. Made a post in the General Discussion. A Mod moved it to American Heavies. However, the IS4 armor error discussion remains in the General Discussion category. I must've pissed someone off.

    No T127 for me. Thank you for your inquiry! Unfortunately, all the codes are already taken, so that we can no longer be able to assign serial number. --EDIT - Tried Again - Got It!!!!!!
