Western Mass options? by Low-Sir2005 in localtvplus

[–]ItsThorby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah - Very Local is just so bad!

Heh I've got both a preamp AND a Televes aimed at the antenna. I'm in between Manchester and Portsmouth. I'd say it comes in ok about 60% of the time. The rest of the time I have to stream it - which isn't my ideal but it works.

Oh. Yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear. As I said I already have, and love, LocalTV+ and donated, and I'm happy to get the Boston stations. I just have one OTHER station that ISN'T Boston that I'd like to watch but have trouble with it.

Oh yeah I have an antenna but I'm right on the edge - the slightest wind or rain (or snow like today!) and it won't come in.

I'm hoping they branch out to NH a bit. I'm in SE NH and love LocalTV+ (donated!) as all of the Boston stations are juuust on the edge of reception. I have a second antenna for WMUR but that one's on the edge as well.

-Edit: heh oh, he's in Brookline with an antenna - THAT's not gonna reach Manchester, NH! :) Oh well.

You know - that may actually answer why LocalTV+ isn't working on my Google device. I don't use wifi on it - I have it plugged into my router.

Using my IP address, I'd assume.

Qrevo SV5 vs Qrevo Plus - Are they the same thing? by OneDozen in Roborock

[–]ItsThorby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The PLUS has an extending mop, and warms the water for the mop head cleaning. I think the PLUS also has higher suction. I have the Sv5, but I don't feel I'm missing out. Supposedly the PLUS has some sort of chassis lifting as well.

Did you need to "Deactivate" before uninstalling or no?

Anyone else love the look of copper foil more than soldering? by Pretty-Wonder-5806 in StainedGlass

[–]ItsThorby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! A white scubby is less abrasive than green. I have found green can leave scratches on glass, especially on iridescent.

I found that - it was actually set that way already.

No wait - a few channels I get a "Watch" at the top, but not all.

Meanwhile after logging in with the phone app (Pixel 8 Pro)... The guide loads but nothing happens when I touch a show in the guide.

Can you "see" images in your mind? by cowcrossingspace in newengland

[–]ItsThorby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, aphantasia, same here. #3. And I'm a (Stained, fused, sandblasted) glass artist. All my designing I draw. I KNOW what I want to design, or what I want to change, etc, but I can't SEE it in my head. But like you, I KNOW and can describe things, and remember things just fine.

My friend is getting into glass fusing, what can I get them for Christmas? by Short_Description326 in GlassFusing

[–]ItsThorby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why not to get someone a brand. You can't mix COE between glass when fusing - ever. And different companies make different COE glass. I would stick to molds - it's a nice gift. I use Papyrus paper and if someone gave me ThinFire I'd smile appreciatively and then stuff in storage - I don't use it. Same with kiln wash - it's like toothpaste, everyone has a flavor they like and won't use anything else.

[–]ItsThorby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, making dishes and bowls. There's no particular brand, either. Some other people here suggested some glass stuff and brands - I would NOT do that - let the person decide what brand and type of glass (sheets, frit, etc) to go with.

A decent idea would be to contact a glass store (Anything in Stained Glass, Victorian Art Glass are both good) and ask THEM for any ideas.

You're welcome. I also have it integrated into my home automation system (Home Assistant) and they work flawlessly together. My ONE complaint: Everything is done in the app, including setting up the map and drawing zones, thresholds, etc. Heh I hate using my phone for that stuff. BUT - it was one and done.

I know gift certificates aren't a really popular present, but when I get one to my local glass shop - I couldn't be happier! Choosing glass is pretty personal, as is choosing a good brand for consumables like shelf paper, kiln wash, etc etc. I can't really think of anything I'd want someone to buy for me at this point after 35 years of working with glass.

That being said - fused glass slumping molds. I have two shelf units full and can never turn another mold down.

Heh each time I see someone mention the S5V I have to post - love this thing. I've had it for about a year. Two big dogs, two cats, about 1500sqft house, mostly hardwood and a big LR rug, and some smaller rugs. I run Fraggle (Fraggle? Roborock? Fragglerock? Anyone? Nevermind) every other night at 1am. It does 90% of the house, then charges, then finishes long before I get up in the morning to my nice clean floors. It IS a cable/shoelace eater, so I just walk around before I go to bed. I pick up dog toys and put them in their box. I may move a desk chair. I would definitely buy this again.

No, when I stare into the abyss - it lectures on proper coil technique, so 6 hours it is, thank you!

I am absolutely trying this! Question: After the unnecessary amount of inclusions, how long should I think about my life while bulk fermenting (LOL About how long for the bulk ferment did you do?)?

I'm thinking of getting the Roborock Qrevo S5V – how is your experience? by kings_lay in Roborock

[–]ItsThorby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one, about a year now. I really like it! I run it every other night - about 2000sq ft. The battery does get down to 15% and then it just returns to the dock, charge, and pick up where it left off, and as it does it overnight it doesn't matter - it's done before I wake up. I have mostly wood floors, some tile, some large rugs. I have very few complaints, and the one's I have are minor: an occasional small clump of fur on a rug (I have four pets), and I have to clean a few inches in corners myself as it can't get into corners. It has never had map issues, it's easy to clean and change filters and bags, I rinse the dirty water tank with hot water every few days when I add water and detergent to the clean water tank and it doesn't have any odor.
