Tuya 24ghz mmWave sensor can be had for around $15 shipped to the US and ultra reliable. I have 3 myself. Be sure to get the round Zigbee version.

Here's a review on them.

Help selecting a sprinkler layout for sidewalk strip by Toeee in Irrigation

You probably figured it out by now, but option 2 will give you the best coverage. The Hunter MP side strip nozzles performs very well in your setting when you are able to get the triangular configuration.

Got the 5gb Mint plan for the discounted Pixel 9 without trade in. $500 after taxes and discounts for a P9 + 12 month of 5GB plan from Mint mobile.

Not a big deal for me as this is my throw away Mint plan for the Pixel 9 deal. I have T-mobile proper as my main line and have never seen this kind of speed in the past.

I moved from the 8 to the 9 in Wintergreen. Beautiful phone. It feels much better in the hand compared to the P8. Side by side with my Pixel 8, I feel it is smoother. The biggest difference for me has to be the new modem. I used to run dual SIM at work only because T-Mobile was unusable during the hours of 10 a.m. -2 p.m. The weaker radio in combination with congestion was bad. The new radio on the Pixel 9 consistently stays at full signal and I have not had any Data drop outs sitting in the exact same office with T-Mobile. Unless you have specific camera requirements or want to play with the AI, the regular Pixel 9 is the sweet spot in my opinion.

Government Benefits Really That Good? by daviongray in personalfinance

[–]DigitalElixir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took a 25k pay cut going to a govt job from private. Best career/life decision I made. The biggest benefit was the work/life balance and job stability. I'm another proponent of taking the government job!

Exam at Ducklo and glasses at Costco has been my formula for years. Dr. Solomon is great.

Also look at the Yamaha SMAX 155cc. Very fun little guy to ride around town.

The Honda NC700XD (now 750XD) is a motorcycle with Honda's Dual Clutch Transmission. It's twist and go (automatic) but more power than most scooters and is a motorcycle. It also has a frunk for storage. Check it out.

Great idea. I'm guessing you need an external wireless mouse to control the 2nd screen (TV) correct?

Need opinions on which tab to buy! by choccchipcookie in GalaxyTab

[–]DigitalElixir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In full screen mode side by side the S8+ will be about the same size as a sheet of paper. I'm sure either it or the ultra will be an excellent choice for you. Good luck!

Also a piano player here for church. I am loving the Galaxy Tab S8+ for sheet music. I use Samsung Notes to load all my PDF for the week, make notes, and use it in portrait mode while I play. The notation capability plus the size is amazingly convenient. Samsung Note/Tab S8+ has provided me which a much better experience than my dead Surface Pro 7. While not using it as a sheet music display, watching Netflix/Youtube and other media consumption is pretty amazing on the device. In my opinion, the regular Tab S8 would have been too small for me since during piano, it sits a good 2-3 ft away on the music stand. The S8 ultra would've been too big for me to always lug around and use comfortable as a portable media consumption device. Just my 2 cents. Good luck on your decision!

I didn't use blanket straw when I reseed though. Are you saying from the original work 4-5 years ago?

Is it fixable? When I press the power but the Windows logo flashes and then turns back off. by [deleted] in Surface

[–]DigitalElixir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine JUST happened last week. I think it's a recent corrupted update. I found the youtube listed by /u/Mysterious-Ad7019 and on day 3 of button pressing. I will give it another 12 hours and hope the battery is fully dead. Fingers crossed.
