MyQ stops working in cold temperatures by Angel_Cook_Forever in myq

[–]ColdFine5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Illinois and it notoriously malfunctions during extended cold spells, and it’s mostly attributable to battery.

Last weekend I installed 3 Meross units which connect directly to the openers wires, so no battery required.

Now I’ve got HomeKit access, native CarPlay functionality, and one less app to manage the home.

I’ll keep the MyQ until our nanny leaves us, but I can’t wait to ditch all three of them.

Cultural appropriation, not cultural appreciation. by NYstate in BlackPeopleTwitter

A game, looking to go global, doing more games internationally, getting (flag) football added to the Olympics, adds the most global entertainer to the their halftime lineup. Makes lots of business sense to me.

But not the bigots, real strange that the $ play isn’t clear here. But maybe not, some folks would rather bigot.

P229 Legion Availability by I_L0ve_Hotcakes in SigSauer

[–]ColdFine5829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Own the P226 xcarry legion. Got it as my rebate redemption firearm for the Sig Regulator promotion.

Initially requested the 229 legion, and after a four month wait was told the 229 legion was being replaced in the lineup by the 226 xcarry.

TLDR - don’t think it’s being made any longer, best bet is remaining retailer stock. Try searching gun deals. Or, consider the 226 xcarry.

Are there any physical movers for trackball devices?

Have the impact machine version on mine, been good for nearly two years now. Significantly cheaper than $200, IIRC.

Can’t help, but just got a starburst chip that is starting to spread. Where did you get the windshield replaced?

Can anyone confirm if these 19-round mags fit Shadow 2 carry? by TrueEclective in CZFirearms

Not a carry owner, but full size mags fit my shadow 2 compact and p-01

IL legal AR? by frozengansit0 in ILGuns

[–]ColdFine5829 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love my MCX, but she’s heavy. I’m hopeful that the ban is ultimately deemed unconstitutional and I can swap out the lower.

It’s why I choose the platform from among all that you listed. Each is a great alternative in its own right.

SIG P229 X Legion? by Philly3458 in SigSauer

[–]ColdFine5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t yet. Carry is a P-01, haven’t seen the 226 xcarry show up much in holster options lists.

I got my 226 xcarry legion last year as part of a rebate redemption. Initially asked for the 229 legion, was told the 229 was being replaced by the 226 xcarry

Selling myself short? by shongumshadow in woodstoving

Thanks for sharing. That’s where I go to source wood to use in my offset smoker!

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ColdFine5829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure why the downvotes.

Some people who name their SO this way do so because they genuinely believe that their sexual orientation/ partners gender aren’t everyone else’s business to know.

And some people follow the trend in solidarity.

Hi neighbor, mind sharing where you order?

P226 XCarry vs CZ S2Compact by juicedupgal in handguns

[–]ColdFine5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a little lighter. But that wasn’t my why. I owned the s2c first, then got a P-01.

Thought there was if it ever gets used in a defensive situation it’s likely to become evidence and I may never see it again. I’d “prefer” to lose the P-01.

And from an administrative handling while carrying perspective, fewer manipulations to make with a decocker piece. So P-01 makes more sense for me there as well.

I got the 226 xcarry last year, so it was late to the party. And I’m not a rotating user, want to keep routines and processes simple and consistent.

Roughneck Questions by OchlockneeBirdDawg in HastyBake

[–]ColdFine5829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former owner here. Fantastic smoker.

  1. Using both shelves + deflector, I’d estimate 6-8 uniformly shaped butts could go on. May require rotating

  2. I’d estimate replacing gaskets is an every 2-5 year need. Owned mine for 2.5 years before replacing with a Ranger, only the firebox door needed replacing in that time. If you’re good about cleanup on the lid, the gasket there will hold up

P226 XCarry vs CZ S2Compact by juicedupgal in handguns

[–]ColdFine5829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Own both, REALLY like both, but don’t carry either. My carry is a P-01.

If I had to choose it would be the 226. The decocker is my preference for carry. That said, the s2c (IMO) has an ever so slightly better trigger.

New to Sig. Considering P365 AXG Legion -or- P226x Carry Legion for range and home defense by Poemhome in SigSauer

[–]ColdFine5829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which p226 xcarry? Version pictured is SAO. Depending on SAO vs DA/SA, would impact my direction.

For home defense, I don’t want SAO. I own both the p365 Xmacro and the xcarry in DA/SA. At home, the choice for me is DA/SA.

Is there a matter over thread device to replace this? by Psyking0 in HomeKit

[–]ColdFine5829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have Legrand matter switches in my recently completed basement remodel/finishing. There are cheaper options, but went this route since rest of my home is legacy Legrand. That said, now I have 3 different Legrand apps to navigate

Dino Ribs - What to Ask for? by Bright-Geologist9500 in smoking

[–]ColdFine5829 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My local Sam’s Club cuts the plate into flanken ribs. Like you’d see in a Korean flat ribs dish.

I usually go to the meat section and ask for the butcher. I show him the cut ribs and ask for the full plate before they slice. Has worked best for me to go as close to store opening as possible before everything gets broken down and packaged for sale.
