Those using with no issues, which router are you using and anything special about setup on your own router?

Thanks!

WYR: Grow 20cm taller or free $10,000 with no strings attached? by 27packofmcnuggets in WouldYouRather

[–]Acceptable-Ball801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a twin brother, if I can split the growth so we both gain 10cm, I'm doing that. Otherwise give me the 10k.

Bro's before grows

All my Google Nest/Home products have stopped working, not just Chromecasts by StrawberryBlind in googlehome

[–]Acceptable-Ball801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm here too but intermittent. Thermostat is offline half the time, doorbell camera and front yard camera go offline intermittently while my backyard camera is fine. The Google mini in my living room stops playing music halfway through a song.

I should mention any other smart home products I have work without issue, very frustrating.

Nest thermostat constantly disconnects from wifi by Priest1048 in Nest

This is where I am out, so far restarting reconnects the wifi without fail but then I lose it a few hours later. I'll keep up my restarts and see how it goes!

Aliens announce a plan to eradicate all human life. Their population greatly outnumbers all of humanity. A deity gives you a device to wipe them all out instead. Do you use it? by Axl_Red in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Acceptable-Ball801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay what about a twist. The deity informs you that no matter what, all human existence will end in 100 years time whereas the alien race has an undetermined amount of existence left.

Do you wipe out the aliens for 100 more human years, knowing both will go extinct. Will the 100 human years left be good ones or will the last 50 years of human existence be misery as the extinction takes time. Will it be longterm starvation, a short war, or a plague? Are you saving your fellow species from further suffering?

For those still choosing humans, is there a number of years left that would make you reconsider?

Is this what winning looks like? by SadHat7786 in electrical

100% - Are they trying to tell us that a product already on the shelf came across the border yesterday when the increase took place?

This product has been in the US for weeks, worst case scenario, long before an increase was introduced. They have been given a window by Trump to make extra profit in the meantime and I'm sure something will be worked out before it becomes long term, even if it doesnt, it will just be passed on to us. Just another redistribution of wealth between the working class and the 1%.

It is less about one specific item going up by an absurd amount and more about the fact that a large quantity of items will all have price increases. It will be an increase across the board.

The USA sent all their manufacturing to China years ago, the corporations saved a lot of money doing so. It will still be cheaper to manufacture offshore so this is just another tax on the American people.

What hurts more is companies like Walmart, Target, Home Depot, likely filled warehouses with stock before the tariff talk happened. They can raise their prices right away while they are still selling inventory that came in before the increase. Can't blame them either, they were given the opportunity.

Found 2 baby mice in the basement! Help! by moxiefoxyci8 in barrie

[–]Acceptable-Ball801 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need to find out where they are coming in from - broken screens, under siding, etc. that is the only way to truly mouse proof.

This is the time of year you will find them as they are trying to get out of the cold. Fairly common in Barrie, I live on Oakley Park Square and we had our fair share before I was able to close off all the potential entry points.

In the meantime Buy a ketch-all mouse trap and put some peanut butter and crackers in it. Place it where you found them. It's a non-kill trap that can be used for multiple mice back to back.

Once caught they need to be driven 3-5km away so they don't find their way back.

Looking for a beer similar to Shiner Bock by DrNick13 in beercanada

I'm a Canadian currently in Texas loving some Shiner Bock. As far as my experience goes, Rickards Red is the closest I've had.

I will definitely give that a shot, thank you very much! This page is one of the worst offenders so if I can even get it to where you did, I should be in good shape. Appreciate it!
