re: Screened-In Patio

If you already have a covered porch with columns, all you technically need is the aluminum frame, screen, door kit, and spline. I would be concerned that the installer wants you to buy the material.
Roughly calculate your amp load. If it’s less than 80% of the breaker rating, replace the breaker. GF/AF breakers seem to go bad often. Especially with power surges.

re: Upgrading Circuit Panel in Home

Hiring a licensed electrician is probably your best move, unless you want to learn how to run load calcs.

I don’t think anyone will be able to help you with the information you provided, other than recommending an electrician.

If you just need more space for additional circuits, and a electrician gave you the advise, adding a sub panel is likely the way to go.
11:32 AM EST, 11/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Nebius Group (NBIS) struck a $3 billion deal to provide artificial intelligence infrastructure to Meta Platforms (META), as the Dutch AI cloud company's third-quarter sales more than quadrupled year over year.

Nebius agreed to deploy AI compute capacity for the Facebook and Instagram owner under a five-year agreement, Chief Executive Arkady Volozh said in a Tuesday letter to shareholders discussing Nebius' third-quarter results.

"Over the next three months, we plan to deploy the capacity needed to service the agreement," Volozh said. "In fact, demand for this capacity was overwhelming, and the size of the contract was limited to the amount of capacity that we had available."

Meta didn't reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.

The agreement follows a similar deal Nebius announced with Microsoft (MSFT) in September.

Nebius' revenue for the September quarter surged 355% year over year to $146.1 million, though it trailed the FactSet-polled consensus of $155.1 million. Adjusted net loss widened to $100.4 million from $39.7 million a year earlier.
There is no good reason, that I am aware of, to clear coat painted wood. Spend your money on a high quality exterior paint.

I laughed out loud when I read this. You could have saved the Chinese a lot of work with your wisdom.
Looks like his short position on NVDA was established in Q1. So he bought puts when the price per share was between $100 and $150.

Trying out a put calendar spread strategy on app lovin.

Bought 1 APP Put 2/20/26 $630 strike $94.31 premium

Sold 1 APP Put 11/7/25 $605 strike $36.96 premium

Trying to sell an OTM put every week and hope it expires worthless. Hopefully I can reduce the strike each week as well. APP might be too volatile for this - may learn an expensive lesson.

I think somebody here recommended it a month or so ago I bought it at $1.12. Unfortunately, it was only 500 shares and I sold half when it doubled

I agree with 5/8” plywood cut into 2’x4’ strips. There is a piece of OSB in my attic now that bends well beyond my comfort level every time I step on it. I also have used 1x and 2x dimensional lumber in tight spaces and to build steps to get over the AHU and ductwork.

Make sure you screw everything down securely unless you enjoy pain and suffering.

I don’t know if it’s a scam or not, but that X post is almost 9 months old.

I water 3 times a week, 0.33” per watering.

In addition to running calculations based on sprinkler head data, I bought a set of irrigation measuring cups to determine how long each zone needed to run.

I don’t have a lot of water flow (5/8” meter), so my zones with rotors run approximately 1 hour and the zones with sprays run around 35-45 minutes.

I would use $200k for the pre-construction costs on building apartments, if that is your plan for that land (and you somewhat know what you’re doing).

It’s hard to hit a Homerun when you’re trying to bunt. You have plenty more at bats if you strike out.
Sounds like a typical condensation problem caused by putting HVAC in unconditioned space. Due point conditions are occurring on the foil face of your ductwork. Probably a duct leak, or maybe the duct insulation is compressed enough at that location to not do its job.
