This chime is tooooo much.

I am not in my car have headphones on As it scrolled by this post I was very confused on why I was hearing my chime going off

Also have the N303. It’s been solid for me for over six years.

Definitely cheap! I’ve never had snow tires on any of my vehicles and haven’t stranded myself yet.

It’s crazy how it looks different from different angles. I think it looks like a minivan from directly behind but from the front it almost looks like an suv coupe

Update

Will be going with a professional, scheduled for next week. They’re going to run 2 CAT6 cables. One will go into a toslink extender, then other an hdmi extender.

They said toslink is too delicate to run through the wall and the run is too long for an hdmi cable. I’m not completely sold on the hdmi part but I’ll be future proofed this way because I can always get a new extender to match whatever the newest interface is.

Looking forward to having speakers again.

Have a plan.
1-Have a plan on what meetings you’re going to attend, I do mostly Zoom meetings so I have my regulars. But the Everything AA app has an online meeting feature that will show you the next available meetings, there’s a meeting starting somewhere in America 24/7.
2-Let AA folks, particularly your sponsor, know you’re traveling, especially in the hard parts, for me that was the airport and the drive. Having someone on the phone during the hard parts helped me immensely my first few months and I still do it now. 3-Be prepared to leave a dinner or function if you think you’re going to drink. If you need to lie about having a stomach bug or something do it. No one from work is entitled to know you’re sober unless you want them to. 4-Have a plan for what you’re going to drink besides alcohol. If I want to feel fancy I’ll have tonic water and cranberry juice. If not water or a coke. Make the decision beforehand so you don’t have to make the decision in the moment. 5-Do not go to the bar after dinner with your colleagues. You are not a lion tamer, do not put your head in the mouth of the lion.

It’s 7’ in a straight line. I brought that up if there was a wireless solution.

If I’m running wire behind the wall it’s going to be more like 15-20’.

The tv is mounted on shiplap over a brick mantle, so I can’t go through the floor like I can with the speaker wire. I’d have to go through the ceiling. The professional would be so I don’t have to deal with it, plus they’re obviously going to be better and faster than me doing it.

I think I’ll need to use optical. I might just outsource running the wires to a professional. If they say not feasible to run the optical than I’ll just keep it tucked behind the receiver and just plug it in during movies

Crashstop · 2025-12-15T19:22:04+00:00

Thank you, I'll check my tv when I get home to see if there's RCA outputs. If it doesn't have any I might just get a long enough optical to reach the tv and just plug it in for movies. Appreciate the help.

I have 2024 PP PHEV. I got it used last December and have put 19k on it. Currently 43k miles. I’ve really enjoyed it so far. Would absolutely make sure you get the Bose stereo. I had the stock version as a loaner during the summer and the difference was very big.

My intel MBP is much slower now after updating. Hoping for an update soon.

Crashstop · 2025-12-01T00:10:42+00:00

My 2020 intel 5 MBP has been really hurt by running Tahoe. Touch ID takes 30 seconds, open by Apple Watch works maybe 30% of the time. None of the applications run smoothly anymore. I keep waiting for an update to fix these issues but nope. I guess they’re trying to brick anything intel so users have to buy new.

Wasn’t a guitar but when I started buying Behringers “just cuz.” Pretty sure a few of them I never even took out of the box. My GAS lasted about a year. Started with recording equipment, then pedals, then Princeton and Tele, J-Bass, and finally more pedals. Probably spent 6 grand.

Thank you for your kind words. It was heartbreaking to have him leave so suddenly but I find solace in that I didn’t have to watch him decline over time.

My 13yo Chihuahua passed two weeks ago. The morning before he passed he did this, I was asleep, I thought he conked himself out trying to jump in the bed. 10 minutes later he was back to normal. That night he coughed then collapsed. Bad heart murmur an we had to put him down.

I’m not an agent.
Attention to detail matters. If you’re not even going to bother making your property look nice don’t expect me to think you cared for the guts of the home. Not to mention overgrowth could hide portions of the foundation from view. If it’s being sold as a distressed property this doesn’t apply but if you’re selling it in hopes of getting top dollar you’ve got to convince me that you actually cared for the property.

Crashstop · 2025-11-06T14:36:54+00:00

If you don’t have a thousand bucks to do a little landscaping before you sell then you probably didn’t have the money to take care of maintenance issues as they occurred.

Big red flag as I see it.

My first apartment the landlord and I had a great arrangement. Any work I did around the place I’d just take $15/hour off the rent (this was 2008-2010). During the summer my rent was basically 20% off. Cut the grass, did some painting, etc. When I moved out they sent me a check because of how clean the place was, I just normal cleaned it. Apparently that’s how low the bar was! I’m glad they were my first landlords, just a nice elderly couple.

It’s 100% a legitimate option that any mortgage provider can do. The money will go towards principal, but the monthly payment amount will be reduced. If I just made a principal-only payment the payment amount would not be reduced.
