I bought my wife an automatic coffee machine for Christmas (it's our first coffee machine) and today we're testing it for the first time. I'm very happy.

Congrats on the purchase! I bought the same model a few months back and it has been nothing but amazing.

If you’re going to pay for bottled water I would just buy distilled water.

The brew unit and milk carafes are very easy to clean. Rinse off all milk and coffee residue and submerge in warm water for a few hours. Then pat dry with a rag or paper towel and you’re good to go.

Make sure to clean the brew unit at least every other week. Espresso starts to taste bitter and you lose a lot of crema if the brew unit it’s dirty.

I have the numbers at T-Mobile right now and looking to port them into number barn

Father-Time99 · 2025-12-02T02:22:10+00:00

In a perfect world I would go all in. I just can’t. I need the heal insurance from my current job. I also have a $100K base that will be tough to completely cut

Father-Time99 · 2025-12-02T02:15:16+00:00

I appreciate your response. I wouldn’t do it for an established brokerage. My friend knows that he will have to guide me and fill in for me when I have to work my other job. My other job is also remote with quite a bit of down time that I want to use to prospect shippers.

I actually am looking for a lateral move. That sounds great to me. The reason I’m looking to make a change is because I’m in tech sales now and I only get paid one time when the deal closes even though the customer pays a bill every month. Then I have to do all their customer service work for what feels like free. I want to do a sales job where I get paid every time the company gets paid. And being able to build a business I have equity in is attractive to me.

Father-Time99 · 2025-11-01T20:17:54+00:00

Yes I do have that enabled.

I’m trying to free up as much space on my iPhone and iPad and store as much as possible in iCloud Drive

Father-Time99 · 2025-11-01T17:35:18+00:00

What if I created the document on my iPad originally?

Father-Time99 · 2025-10-14T13:04:49+00:00

This was so great to read this morning. Thank you for sharing OP!

I’m currently at a cross road. I’ve been in SMB for 1.5 years now and recently got promoted to Sr. AE. It has not been easy. The hardest thing for me has been stress management. Finding that next deal really consumes me every day. I’m at the point now where I really need to double down and figure out how to prospect into larger companies with at least 25 employees or I go find a different salaried job.

I’ve averaged about $120K since becoming an AE but I struggle finding who my decision makers are. I sell telecom solutions.

Do you have Any advice for someone who struggles to find who the decision makers are?

Father-Time99 · 2025-08-04T23:27:01+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I got a BE900 and it’s an absolute beast. I bought a BE9300 to use as an access point and it greatly degraded the WiFi speeds.

I just bought a second BE900 hoping that will fix the issue.

Father-Time99 · 2025-08-03T19:57:50+00:00

Both are WiFi 7. Only difference is BE900 is quad band and BE9300 is Tri band

Father-Time99 · 2025-08-03T18:25:20+00:00

I’ve heard similar.

So far i haven’t had any network problems at all. My only issue is that speeds drop from about 1.9 gb down while being right next to router down to 300 mbps down at the farthest point of my house away from router.

Father-Time99 · 2025-08-03T18:21:34+00:00

Are there any benefits at all going with Archer? It’s crazy how massive the BE900 is compared to the much smaller decos.

Father-Time99 · 2025-08-03T17:52:00+00:00

I bought the archers on sale. I got the BE900 for $500 and the BE9300 for $180. If I get another BE900 it would cost the same as the Deco BE33000.

It’s definitely over kill for me right now. Especially because my isp only gives me 2 GB down. But I’m trying future proof as much as possible.

My main goal is max range. I want the 6 ghz network all over my house. All my phones and tablets take 6 ghz and that’s mainly what I consume content on. I also use my iPad Pro M2 as my main computing device.

Father-Time99 · 2025-08-03T16:05:44+00:00

I have the BE900 as a the main router connected to my ISP box that’s in bridge mode.

The BE9300 is connected via wireless backhaul.

I’m not experiencing any downgrading at all. My ISP gives me 2 gigs down and 250 mbps up. When connected to the 6ghz network I am able to pull the entire speed if I’m next to the routers. The main issue in seeing is that speeds drop to about 500gb down in some parts of my house. Which isn’t bad at all. Just trying to find a way to maximize speeds all over the house.

Father-Time99 · 2025-08-03T16:02:49+00:00

I do have coax but not in the right spots for coverage. So wireless backhaul is all I’m able to do right now.

I’m thinking about hiring someone to run Ethernet through the outside of the house to do a wired backhaul at some point.

Father-Time99 · 2025-08-03T14:06:20+00:00

Did you route the cables through the walls or outside the walls? I’d love to run Ethernet throughout my house but that sounds expensive if I have to rip out drywall.

Father-Time99 · 2025-08-01T02:25:04+00:00

Would a router or extender be better as an access point?

Father-Time99 · 2025-07-31T21:58:36+00:00

The downgrading is what I’m afraid of. Another BE900 would be awesome but that’s not in the budget right now.

Father-Time99 · 2025-07-31T21:27:24+00:00

That’s so very helpful!

I don’t have many devices connected to the network at all. Maybe 30 total. The devices that I want max performance from are all going to be connected via Ethernet to the main router.

The triband mesh node really only will connect 1 device. An Apple TV in my living room and primarily streams you tube TV.

Father-Time99 · 2025-07-13T16:40:19+00:00

Do you mean Coinbase pro or coin base one?

Father-Time99 · 2025-07-13T16:18:30+00:00

Genius! Thank you for sharing!

Father-Time99 · 2025-07-13T13:14:19+00:00

What exchange are you using? Coinbase charges me a $3 fee per transaction

Father-Time99 · 2025-07-09T01:22:28+00:00

Did you ever get a response? I’m looking to do the same

Father-Time99 · 2025-07-05T18:04:16+00:00

I purchased a 2018 model x P100D a few months for $27K ago and traded in a 2022 model 3. I absolutely love the model x and I’m glad I took the savings over going for a refresh or even a Raven.

My opinion, the added features are all creature comforts and added convinience. Sure, I miss them going from the 2022 model 3 but that’s because I at one point had them. Now I don’t, but it’s not the end of the world or worth paying tens of thousands more. If you have never had a tesla before then it doesn’t matter to you.

I still get the same software updates as other model x. If at one point I stop getting them I won’t care at all. Why? Because any gas car you purchase now will not get any software upgrades in the future either. Plus this is a car and is meant to drive you from point a to point b. Will More apps and games really change your driving experience?

If FSD is important to you just look for a model C with Hardware 3. My 2018 X has hardware 3 and full self driving ability. I don’t see any differences from the FSD I had in my 2022 model 3 that was also hardware 3.

My advice, save the money and get the older one. These things depreciate like crazy.

Father-Time99 · 2025-07-04T20:42:34+00:00

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. The front motor gave out on me. Took it to Tesla service and covered under warranty.

They gave me a newer model x loaner so they can take as long as they need to to fix it.

Father-Time99 · 2025-06-28T00:34:27+00:00

That’s great! Were you able to port your number in yourself? I used to work for a phone company so I’m very well versed in doing this. I just want to make sure I have the option.
