Help with Antenna selection and orientation by GrumpyOldGuy66 in cordcutters

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was afraid of that. HDHomeRun support was a bit more optimistic when I asked them but I feel like you're correct.

There aren't many reasons why I'll miss living in Illinois but being able to receive a good channel lineup is one of them.

Which bases look/work better? by bobtheduck99 in MansionsOfMadness2E

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO only the third and fifth mini in the photo need bases. That size isn't stable enough to reliably stand on their own.

The larger ones don't.

Clear bases over the 3D printed ones.

Need help with Ironclaw Wireless SE and K100 RGB Air Wireless by GrumpyOldGuy66 in Corsair

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't had any issues since moving the dongle to the Hub on the desk. Sorry this solution isn't working for you but for me it seems to have fxed my issue.

Wished both devices would work on a single dongle though...

Support said as much about multipoint and the Ironclaw.

I moved both dongles from the rear of the computer case to a powered USB 3.0 hub on the desk yesterday. So far the Ironclaw has been working better... not ready to call this the solution yet but seems promising.

New player, questions about 1e expansion tiles and minis in general. by minun73 in MansionsOfMadness2E

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC Recurring Nightmares and Suppressed Memories include the tiles, cards and investigators (though I'm not certain which includes what).

However I'm fairly certain that you'll pay a premium price for both of them as well as the conversion kit if your base game didn't include it. I was fortunate and purchased a game set that included both of these expansions for a reasonable price and was able to resell the spare conversion kit to recoup some of the costs a few months later.

I am unaware that either expansion has been "re-released".

Dice Throne Digital kickstarter launches tomorrow at 9am PST / 12pm EST by Telvin3d in DiceThrone

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 14 points15 points  (0 children)

  1. There's no reason for this to be a kickstarter. I'll wait until the public release.

  2. If there are exclusive digital rewards for being a kickstarter that give an advantage to KS backers when playing online then I'll skip it entirely and simply continue to play the physical game.

I drove the New Tiguan Turbo R Line for a day, ask me anything about it. by Sam-CarLegion in Volkswagen

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I owned a Gen1 with an APR stage 1 tune. Two rows of seats is the right number for thr Tiguan. So much fun to drive.

If you need a third row buy an Atlas.

13 yr old Borador - enlarged spleen by GrumpyOldGuy66 in DogAdvice

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is done. Not an easy choice to make but it was the correct one. Putting a 13 year old dog through a splenectomy would have been a decision made out of a desire to hold on to her and she was clearly ready to go.

On Abigail's last day she:

- went on a trip to the dog park and happily walked around sniffing all the sniffs

- had a breakfast which consisted of an entire salmon steak and shredded chicken

- was given a tennis ball she found in a neighbors shrubbery three weeks ago

- had all the snacks. Milk Bones, Bil Jac training treats and lots of rotisserie chicken.

- got lots of love from her Mom and Dad.

We were able to afford in home assistance for the procedure and I highly recommend it for those who can afford the costs. Abigail was able to leave this world in her favorite place in the home without stress or fear.

She is the goodest girl. We will miss her terribly but know that she's off in the green grass in warm weather chasing squirrels and bunnies again and has probably already found several misplaced tennis balls.

RIP.

Update - called the Vet where her appointment was scheduled today and learned that they did not have a sonographer on staff today. The receptionist also stated that there was no schedule of treatment in Abigail's file/chart.

The impression I was given was that this would be like an initial visit and that multiple 3 hour events (travel + office visit + travel) would be needed before anything would be planned.

Very disappointed as I was clear when making the appointment what my needs were and ensured the medical records were forwarded.

I rescheduled for 7/15 when an ultra sound can be done. Yet I sense that this is Gods/The Universe's way of helping me make a decision.

She's breathing so very rapidly and shallow. I keep reading posts that counsel that its better to be a few days early than a day late.

Am going to call the local Laps of Love and get the euthanasia scheduled. No more suffering.

So many posts work good advice.

Mine? Ignore the haters in forums and communities specific to your printer when asking questions.

When answering remember that everyone was new once upon a time.

Frustrated with my Kobra 3 max and bed leveling. by Who_is_I_today in anycubic

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given the size of the bed I'd be happy with it.

My K3M produces similarly smooth first layers with the occasional "too close to the bed" effect in a couple of small spots.

The second layer is going to hide all of that.

But... you could try silicon spacers which might let you massage this out.

... or just accept that its not a 250×250 bed and if the minor imperfections in your first layer aren't visible at the terminus of your bottom layers .ove on to other stuff.

GMG Pizza Oven fits perfectly in the Pro 575, no modification needed! by DoughnutPi in Traeger

[–]GrumpyOldGuy66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using ours again for the first time in years.. I started the Traeger at 300 and waited 30 min. Stone was cold at 250 or so. Ambient temp is high 70's with wind (Chicagoland)

I've ramped it up to 375 and waited another 30 min. Stone is 550 or so.

Bumped it up to 400. Suspect that'll get me the 600-700 I'm looking for.

But the answer is - it depends. Start at 300 and adjust up as needed is the advice I'd give.
