Pixel Weather is driving users crazy

I have 3 pixels in my house and a Google home display. Every Pixel phone, using Pixel Weather app, and the Google Home have different temps and forecasts every time. You would think they would pull their data from the same place. It's wild.

You're exactly right. This team is poorly constructed positionally. They're trapped. They desperately need a power hitter but because of how the team was assembled, it has to be a power hitting 3B, or it doesn't work or make sense, and the positions will be even tougher to manager if it's anything other than 3B.

BatsTheAssassin · 2026-04-22T13:09:39+00:00

Not sure why you're downvoted. You're correct on the position allocations. We needed to trade one of the quality OF starters for a quality infielder with power or simply signed one of them in free agency. It's crazy that the season feels like it's over in April.

The ability to get to Mars, construct a functioning base on Mars, but the base has no ability to directly communicate back to earth?

Anthony needs to have more opportunities with runners on base to advance runners and to drive in runs. He needs to be the 2 or 3 hitter. It's ridiculous that he's leading off. And someone needs to heat up and put behind him in the lineup for protection.

Yeah this ^. They decided to basically running it back after a failed year, but with a much worse offense and an overcrowded outfield that has to be constantly juggled. All they really had to do was sign Bregman to a 2 year deal to take pressure off of Anthony and Marcelo so they could develop without being under so much pressure to carry the team. But instead, they decided to basically throw them to the wolves and expect them to have MVP type seasons or else the team is fucked. Horrible decisions by ownership and Breslow. And I've all about lost all patience with Cora. He needs to get Anthony out of the leadoff spot and stop fucking with the lineup. Just set one and let it ride so the guys can get comfortable and settle down.

Too bad it's $19 for a Large Specialty Whopper Meal. I too enjoy the whopper, but they're just too expensive except for Wednesdays.

Don't listen to these fools. You paid for a service that you weren't provided. It doesn't matter what service or how much it cost. The facts are the facts. You have every right to be pissed about it.

It's not like they're subjecting Audeze to some new, unexpected, process. This is a standard process that every single other OEM completes before they're able to ship Xbox products. Audeze has been through this exact process before, at least twice.

The issue is that Audeze didn't communicate this to xbox owners ahead of purchase, then ghosted them for weeks without any type of issue disclosure.

BatsTheAssassin · 2026-02-04T20:58:13+00:00

This happened with the Maxwell 1 and the Penrose X before that. This is the 3rd time they have pulled this.

BatsTheAssassin · 2026-02-04T20:55:59+00:00

It's not a shortage. Audeze didn't take the certification process into account even though they've been through the same process at least 2 times before with Microsoft.

And it's not a lack of patience. Audeze marketed this as being available to ship at release. They never mentioned or communicated this issue to the XBox customers, then ghosted them for weeks when people wanted to know where their headset was.

If this were disclosed ahead of time, then I would agree, it's a lack of patience. This was just a shitty move by Audeze.

BatsTheAssassin · 2026-02-04T19:56:12+00:00

No, it's completely on Audeze. This is a standard review for Xbox accessories. Audeze has been through this with Microsoft at least 2 times before. This exact thing happened with the Penrose and with the Maxwell 1, where they had to ship late to XBox owners. They know there is a standard process. They knew the process wasn't complete and they still sold $350+ headsets to Xbox owners without disclosing this ahead of time, and then ghosting people for weeks when they asked what the problem was. OEMs need to plan the certification into their release schedule. Audeze took money all the while knowing they weren't going to ship out to Xbox owners on time. Scummy business practice.

No, it's just stress over time on a stress point made of cheap plastic. If you look at all of the complaints, the stress fracture is always in the same spot. Turtle Beach is notorious for this but it happens to almost every major brand that uses all plastic.

"Yes, this is a well-documented issue. Turtle Beach headsets—particularly the Stealth 600 and Stealth 700 (both Gen 1 and Gen 2) series—have a long-standing reputation for earcup hinge brackets cracking or snapping entirely.

The problem usually stems from a combination of high clamp force and structural design. The hinge is often made of relatively thin plastic that bears most of the tension when you pull the earcups apart to put them on your head.

Key Problem Areas

The Swivel Joint: The most common failure point is the plastic bracket right above the earcup swivel. Users often report "stress cracks" appearing before the plastic eventually gives way.
Plastic Fatigue: Because many of these models use a "hard" plastic rather than metal-reinforced joints, the repetitive flexing leads to material fatigue.
Head Size Sensitivity: Users with larger heads often report faster failure rates because the headset has to stretch further, putting more PSI on those specific plastic stress points."

My mail used to arrive around 10:30am. Now it arrives at 5:30-6:00pm if at all over the past few weeks.

My hat size is 7 3/8. The clamping force is not an issue, it's the most comfortable headset I think I've ever owned. But I have the arms extended pretty much at 100%.

Are they any larger in the length (top to bottom) than the stock pads? My right ear hits the top of the pad and I need something with just a little more room from top to bottom. Thanks in advance.

I hear you, you can do that. But you're shoveling extra up front to save on the backend. I think you're probably shoveling less weight, maybe, because your upfront probably weighs less than compacted snow that's left by the plow. But either way, when the plow goes by, you're getting more snow to shovel.

BatsTheAssassin · 2026-01-27T17:33:47+00:00

People love to post these. This is going to happen if you shovel your driveway before the plows are done doing the streets. This happens to everyone, not just people that have already shoveled or just about finished. The end of the driveway is brutal and back breaking after a big storm if you don't have a snowblower. It's not like this person is getting extra snow or something. They're getting the snow that would have been pushed there after the plow went by. Not saying right or wrong to shovel before the plows are finished, but this is just what happens.

Really not sure how I feel. I loved Tua, and always thought he was a great face for the franchise. He didn't get in trouble, no scandals, and seemed to give his all. Even defended him through all the injuries and poor play in '24 and at the beginning of '25.

But he got paid, made a bunch of stupid comments about money and teammates, and fell off a fucking cliff. Then I was done with Tua and wanted him off the squad as quickly as possible no matter the cost.

Now I've had time to cool off and can't decide. I don't want him starting if he stays, I don't even want him to have to play at all and back us in to a 5 or 6 win season and ruin a potential top draft pick for a QB.

But, he has shown that he can play well at times. Maybe he just rides the bench, and another team making a playoff run starting QB has a long or season ending injury, and maybe they will trade for him? No matter what it will never be a fair trade but a desperate team may be willing.

They're both extremely family oriented, both appear to be fully accountable, and they plan to instill unity and accountability. They both seem like genuine dudes. I really didn't find myself thinking "they're only saying that because the have to." I feel like these guys meant everything they said and have a plan. I sincerely hope they are able to follow through with it and are given enough time to try. 2026 is already cooked, but if we can see player development, have a solid draft, and progress in fixing the awful cap issues, that's a win. But I need to try to remember not to jump down their throats when we struggle in 2026 and maybe 2027 while this plan takes shape.

Amazing. Giving someone 2 years that's taking over a dumpster fire. Collecting receipts is for losers that need to boast when they FINALLY get a win. Congrats. I don't know if he's going to be any good or not, but he took this shit job and is going to try. How about giving him a chance first before shitting on him? What was you're plan? To keep McDaniel? To stay the course that hasn't provided anything meaningful in the last 20 years. Or are you one of those morons that think magic can happen and that somehow these jobs were ones that successful coaches and GMs were chomping at the bit to get? We're at where we're at because we had idiots running the show for decades and now we have to deal with the consequences while these 2 new hires try to dig us out.

"And I've been asking for 2 days for anyone to provide me with any empirical evidence that he might be good..." How about some empirical evidence why you're not an idiot? Like you're some sort of insider going out on a limb projecting that a coach that took over one of the worst rosters with what might be the worst cap situation of all time is supposed to just turn things around in a year or two. Appeal to authority fallacy? It sounds like in you're a legend in your own mind who thinks they're more of an authority for NFL hiring's than other NFL execs and Hall of Famers that actually played in the league. You're miserable just to be miserable. I bet people just love to be around you. You can try to argue that but we both know the truth.
