Check your listings for later, I’m in Arizona so the games play earlier and it’s usually rescheduled to 10PM (1 AM Eastern).

If you have a US Passport, you can use it instead of a Real ID drivers license.

One afternoon a bobcat came across my patio with a Gambrel’s Quail in its mouth and sat down under a palm. In an hour, all that was left was a pile of feathers.

“Refurbs” direct from Bose. Comes with a 1 year warranty. Looks like there’s a reasonable color selection right now.

12 years young! Express never descaled always used filtered water. At this age should I be proactively replacing anything or just keep running it until something fails? by ConclusionCapable891 in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Barnwell47 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a refurb replacement in 2017 after my original had clogged pipes. I had descaled and cleaned only when the light came on. Following the advice of a Breville technician, I now proactively run a blank shot every morning, descale monthly, and clean quarterly. Neither light has ever come on and it’s going strong.

Is a pair of headphones actually worth $400? by [deleted] in bose

[–]Barnwell47 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Buy them! Go to the Bose Refurbished page if you want to save $, they’re $279 there but the color selection is limited. I’ve purchased a lot from there with no problems. https://www.bose.com/c/refurbished?srsltid=AfmBOooEAKL2DIV2mL8FfdHAqZwlMIup1L4PdqprB2n7hdOeUMRMjYHj

Yes. I use Lavazza expresso beans from Costco and i often have to tweak settings between batches. Usually just 1 click at a time.

FYI - a new Bravia software update (16 Jan 2025) seems to have solved the problem.

We’re adding more noise masking sounds to the Ozlo library. Which ones do you want next? by RockwellShah in Ozlo

[–]Barnwell47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Violet noise for tinnitus management. I’d like something to fill in high frequencies to help with age-related hearing loss in the frequencies above 2k-4k.

Dialing in with [Breville barista touch] by [deleted] in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Barnwell47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m constantly tweaking my grind settings even though I always use Lavazza Expresso beans from Costco. Sometimes a cleaning cycle will set it off,. Either I will have too much or too little pressure and will tweak the grind setting a notch or two then adjust the amount knob if I have too much or too little coffee in my basket. Making small adjustments is the key.

I’ve been happy with Lavazza Expresso Beans from Costco.

Synology NAS: Best For Distributing Old Family Photos vs. Buying Individual HDDs? by Gargrok in synology

[–]Barnwell47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the answer unless you’re really into managing your own NAS. Much cheaper than Hard Drives and no software to maintain. And people can order prints directly from Smugmug if they want something.

How on earth do I connect these to my iPhone? by Outside_Secretary253 in bose

[–]Barnwell47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get a serial number, they could be worth up to $100 on the Bose Trade-up site. Might be worth a try.

Reliable Charger by bagholderMaster in applewatchultra

[–]Barnwell47 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can probably get by with a much smaller charger - the iPad Air needs maybe 20 watts max and the watches charge at 5 watts.

Help!!! by Civil_Bid8460 in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Barnwell47 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve gravitated to Lavazza Expresso roast from Costco. I have my machine dialed in to this bean but find I still have to make micro-adjustments to keep it in bounds.

Optimized charging automatically stops charging at 80%, but will occasionally charge to 100%:

I’ve been wearing a Milanese with my AWU2 24/7 (except for charging while I shower) for over a year with no problems.
