  1. Thoughts on this setup? Not looking for surround sound/movie watching type theater quality. Mostly just easy to connect and ability to listen to various things in different rooms.

    LR - Sonos Playbar or Beam for TV and Music

    Upstairs BR - Sonos Beam for TV/Music

    Outside - Sonos CONNECT:AMP Streaming Hi-Fi Player (White) with Klipsch AW-650 6.5" Reference Series Outdoor Loudspeaker

    I'm guessing that all of those would be able to play independently, e.g., someone watching TV in the Living Room can watch and have sound and someone could be watching TV upstairs on a different channel, and someone else could be outside listening to music.

    Not familiar with Sonos, so just checking it can handle several different zones like that before I purchase.

    Thanks

    This may be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks.

    I have a sonos PLAY that I hook up to amps/speakers.  I use one amp (bridged) to drive two all weather subs and another to drive the higher sounds. Then when you come inside from the pool for a beer the same music is playing and you dont get all pissy that you cant hear Zeppelin anymore. 

    I'll look into this as well.

     

    Thanks!

  3. So a question. The grass fed beef I've had has been flavorless and lacked adequate fat. Regardless of where I've purchased it (looking at Crowd Cow now), it just isn't nearly as good as grain fed beef. Is that just a function of my preference?  I eat steak to enjoy it, not for nutritional content so if its just a matter of being healthier, then I am going grain fed. Am I missing something here because everyone markets grass-fed beef but it seems to suck compared to grain-fed.

  4. Fucking fake accounts? Shit, my account was hacked 5+ years ago and started filling up my 8 followers with spam. I contacted Twitter numerous times to correct the issue and was basically told I couldn't prove it was my account even though I had access to all associated other accounts. They clearly didn't give a fuck and don't give a fuck. They just want volume.

    Even now I'm told anytime I click on a Twitter link from Tapa that it's taking too long and that it's my fault and I need to sign up for Twitter. I tried and they said the account was already in use. No shit, it's my email address and my account that you locked me out of so you could let spammers increase your post count. Twitter encourages hackers and spam accounts.

    Beyond that, Twitter is ruining social discourse and helping to destroy the country.

  5. Jekyll Island is beautiful, but dining options are still somewhat limited. Ate at the Beach House for lunch one day. Ate at the Jekyll Club several times as that was where we were staying. Had dinner at the Jekyll Beach Club a couple nights - pretty good. St. Simons seemed to have more options but we were only there one day. We ate at Barbara Jeans for lunch - it was ok.
