  1. Anyone have issues with pixelation on streaming, notably YouTubeTV ? I bought a Sony OLED last year and it was unwatchable on both native app and Roku. Have Google fiber and actual band width at the point is about 100Mbs. I had to return the tv it was so bad and go back to my old ass Sony 1080p tv. Sorry for the hijack.
  2. Pro tip.... Use a car jack like a scissor jack as a second set of hands. Jack up the disposer to get it close, line it up, and twist.
  3. You may be able to unwind the spoon by turning disposer backwards with the Alan Wrench. I would try that without removing it (flip the breaker if that makes you feel better). If you remove it, just go ahead and replace it... it’s not worth your time.... If you end up replacing... Here’s a similar model to what I replaced mine with several years back: https://www.lowes.com/pd/InSinkErator-Evolution-3-4-HP-Continuous-Feed-Noise-Insulation-Garbage-Disposal/1000068731 -Insulated so it’s quiet - good motor - Sink baffle opening is small so it catches most things so you can scoop it and toss it in the garbage can. This may be annoying to those who want everything to go down the disposer but it’s great for those who realize the impact of sending garbage down the plumbing.
  4. Curious as well...And are these better than your ADTs and what now...
  5. That’s not correct. Safer option is to turn off auto install and manually update a few days after patch Tuesday (after the bugs have been found in the general public).
  6. Jameslaw is spot on - rent at first. If you’re in his neck of the woods, I recommend renting from him. He knows his stuff and is a stand up dude.
  7. This. 1000x. I have a 12v compressor and a plug kit + also AAA. I will try to plug it first if Im at a safe location. Otherwise I will wait my ass for AAA to show up and put on the spare.
  8. This. I did a Boyo license plate frame camera with a pioneer head unit. The camera can be adjusted up and down to get the angle you want and picture quality is really good especially at night.
  9. This. You could even have one for personal email, one for online accounts (eg banking and shopping), and one for burner type activities.
  10. Use a different computer. As others have said, a private vpn on a corporate device raises red flags at a minimum and could be a fireable offense in some organizations.
  11. I don’t personally don’t believe that children cannot comprehend the concept of a hard stop or period. Children have an innate ability to learn and this is not a hard concept. However, this certainly wouldn’t surprise me in the day and age of common core, participation trophies, and parents who completely trusting and relying on a government run school system. If true, then we have failed as parents and educators, with the bulk of the blame on the parents. Washpark, where did you pick this up? This is deeply disturbing.
  12. Pro: -never ending hot water if you have high demand. -Option for recirculating cold water and reheating it if you need that. - takes up less space - less likely to develop a leak - more efficient Con: -Expensive -Maintenance. requires keep up with up with descaling especially on electric. However it seems like a simple diy. - More complicated than a tank. in fact, my recirculating pump recently started making a humming noise. It should be fixed under warranty but it’s a little disappointing that I’ve already had an issue one year in. Given the cost, I personally would stick with a tank unless your tank doesn’t keep up with your demand or if you have a desire for conservation. Only reason I went tankless is because we would run out of hot water during bath time (6 of us) and also my tank was in the attic and lives with the potential for a leak from the ceiling.
  13. Why the heck is the IT guy talking directly with the adversary? Lawyers are going to be 100x better negotiators than the IT guy.
  14. I was just using these as examples, could have been Nissan vs Infinity etc. And yes it appears that Honda revamped the product line while Acura got complacent. Same can be said about Lexus; they had to retro Apple Car play as an aftermarket offer and they didn’t do it for all models. The 2021 TLX is supposedly all new and the type S is supposed to be a beast. We’ll see. Where’s the sport in that? [emoji3] This actually looks like a good option for brands that usually don’t deviate too far from MSRP
  15. Can you negotiate with an Acura dealer the same as a Honda Dealer, etc? For reference, I was able to negotiate 10% off of MSRP on the last Honda I bought. While it wasn’t the 30% off I scored on my F150, I felt pretty good about it. I know Honda doesn’t do incentives like Ford and it was also right after a ton of cars were flooded by Harvey. Some dealers refused to budge a penny off of MSRP.
  16. Well it seems the whole world is opting for I4s with turbo instead of naturally aspirated V6s. I guess I should see if those also require premium gas too.
  17. Educate me...I’ve never bought a luxury car before. I’m looking at mid-size sedans and there seems to be a huge overlap in price and amenities between low-end models in luxury brands (e.g. TLX or IS300) and their non-Luxury brand counterparts in a high trim (e.g. Accord Touring and Camry XSE). What are some considerations that I may be overlooking when deciding between say a Honda and an Acura, or a Toyota and a Lexus? Maintenance cost? Fuel type? What else you got? Thanks in advance, WC
  18. This. Also interest rates in general are low right now so financing a used car doesn’t cost nearly as much as it used to.
  19. Like CNN? What’s the point? people can get that from the news and any other social media platform. However, people come here for the assholes and opinions.
  20. How does one go about filing complaints from the local to national gov? TCEQ? EPA? I’ve always seen homeless camps on the Greenbelts but they were always more inconspicuous. All that went out the window when the city said we don’t give a shit.
  21. How do you determine how many down spouts are needed?
  22. No new growth on the two big stumps. The stuff also seems to be working on the smaller hackberry trees where I applied it with a foam brush on the leaves. The leaves are yellowing and some of the trees look to be in real rough shape.
  23. I made absolutely no political or philosophical point. I merely stated an additional statistic for additional context in reference to deaths in American wars. Not sure what warranted the angry name calling.
  24. A friend in Houston waited for over two hours to get a test and ended up leaving untested because of the wait. Then two weeks later she got a positive test result in the mail. How messed up is that?
