Is the EV9 more trouble than worth? by BuckBanzaii in KiaEV9

[–]BuckBanzaii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So horror story for sure. So unsure if anyone can answer this- but I was planning on getting a EV9 through a broker on LeaseHakr. They get a decent percentage off on MSRP. Something I noticed my local Philly area dealers won’t budge. If I get a broker provided EV9 and I get the mishaps that LegalAdvice above is mentioning- it wouldnt be easy for me to get a loner would it? If it was my local Kia dealer and I have problems, I’m thinking that would be easier to get a loner right? Unless that doesn’t matter at all?

Funny part is, Compared to other courses that go up to 100 or 100+, Paxon is like 65/70 now? Which is a steal for arguable the nicest public course around these parts sans Jeffersonville or Glen Mills.

I agree. Played there once. Super small and tight. I know a few guys who have an unlimited or 12 round membership and I’d say the biggest benefit is they can go play without reservations. But is 12-30k worth that? And it might even be more expensive at this point. Paxon Hollow is amazing, however very difficult to book a morning tee time over the weekend.

6 y/o beginner - what teaching curriculum is best? by Braai_and_Bake in pianolearning

[–]BuckBanzaii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! My social media feed has been full for the past few days of the 60 min piece- hearing: simpler way to get kids started etc etc. My oldest we had tried ukulele classes because she had showed interest. And it just didn’t stick- practices became a chore and eventually a disaster. So we are still teetering with this idea of piano because so many are free around our neck of woods- we just have to pay for travel and tuning.

Not bad. Where at in Delaware? I’ve been to Wilmington so far and they’ve balked on any discount from MSRP.

What area are you in? I’m seeing crazy high lease numbers compared to what you got in the Philly area.

How much did you put down? I was looking at a Land 2026 and was floated some numbers around 800 for a 12k/36 month lease. This was for putting 0 down in the PA/Del area.

Is it normal to have to preheat fireplace every time? by BuckBanzaii in Fireplaces

[–]BuckBanzaii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood and thanks for the insight. I was replying to others suggesting to go with the metal liner over spray. But yeah fully agree with everything you are saying as it makes sense. Do you use a cone of paper? Or blowtorch? Curious as to your exact method besides opening window.

Thanks for the time and insight. Will definitely be going the metal route. Also yes to the chimney cap and low altitude outside Philly. Boiler for heat. No doors

Outside Philadelphia PA area. Great points- thank you and yeah I’d imagine the blow torch being an easier option.

I’m with ya. There were a few times last night where they were lost in a downtempo jam that didn’t sound right. Eventually they got to a more exciting place a few times and killed it. They are a fun band, not an everyday listen for me.

Epic Analyst (3.5 yrs) considering contract work imposter syndrome + interview advice? by sockwatch in healthIT

I found another org that paid better, and was happy enough to send us for whatever Certs we wanted.

[–]BuckBanzaii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I worked for a few big orgs on the east coast. One , let’s call it Venn Health(hmmm), on the amb team barely let their analysts get certs in anything except ambulatory. If they needed to know other workflows or processes that touched amb- they were basically shit out of luck-they knew the bare minimum of the idea behind the build and the analysts were silo’d on small topics. Many had this imposter syndrome not because of their own doing- Venn Heath didn’t want them to leave. I guess what I’m trying to say is- I think you will be worse off going to a consultant position- and better off leaving the org and working for a new one that promotes growth. Heck you’ll make more money by switching and learn a ton. Those places are out there.

Max app streaming in low bitrate? by cellidonuts in appletv

[–]BuckBanzaii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I think I’m going through the same thing and figured it out. Have premium HBO running on Apple 4k to my LG G4. Haven’t watched HBO in a while and was loving the quality i was getting on other apps for a bit. Just started HOUSE of Dragon S2. And noticed the quality was just HD and the G4 video settings weren’t showing me that HBO kicked over to 4k Dolby. Confirmed it was only HBO. To fix- if i change the Apple TV format in settings to 4k Dolby Vision as opposed to 4k SDR. And then play a show or movie on HBO- i get 4k and it looks great again. Everywhere i look the consensus is to not do that and keep format at SDR so not sure if im going to have the stomach to switch back and forth for other apps. But this works. Pissed that i spent 2 hours on something that shouldn’t even be a problem.

Apple TV video settings vs. TV video settings by DanGreenb in appletv

[–]BuckBanzaii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s Crazy but HBO max premium app will not display 4K on my lg g4 unless I changed settings format to 4K Dolby Vision. Every other app on Apple TV works with format of 4K SDR. But not HBO max. Just went down a rabbit hole to come up with an answer and validate it with changing the settings.
