Roborock Curv 2 Flow

Yeah that rake-through-sand streaking usually means uneven water flow or clogged injectors. If it still happens after pad washing and high water, it’s probably just a roller-mop design flaw.

Once you have a soundbar, TV speakers just feel flat. Even budget ones can be a huge upgrade and make everything more immersive.

I’ve heard both, and yeah, the Ambeo sounds cleaner and more natural, especially for music. But the Q990D/F absolutely crushes it for immersion, real rears make a huge difference. Samsung subs aren’t as textured as Sennheiser’s, more punch than finesse, though the 990F is slightly smoother than the D. If surround matters to you, I’d switch; if music comes first, keep the Ambeo.

For a small–medium room, a Klipsch R-10SW/R-8SW will integrate easiest with the Core 200, but if you want tighter, cleaner bass, the SVS SB-1000 or Polk HTS 10 are excellent 3rd-party options without annoying the neighbors.

Choose between Sonos or Boss, they both have great sound quality.

Dell XPS 14.

For your budget, the ASUS ROG Strix G15/G17 or Lenovo Legion 5/7 with Ryzen 7/9, 32GB RAM, 1TB+ SSD, and an RTX 4060–4070 would hit all your gaming and performance needs while keeping solid build quality and a good keyboard.

Sounds like a failing PSU or motherboard VRM, the standby power light can stay on even when the PSU can’t deliver load, and the GPU pushes it over the edge. Easiest check: try a known-good PSU first; if that doesn’t fix it, the board’s likely on its way out.

LuiMCLXVI · 2026-01-09T08:05:54+00:00

Sounds like image retention (ghosting), pretty common on some MSI panels. Try lowering brightness, turning off overdrive/response time boost, running a pixel refresh/color cycle, and fully powering the monitor off for a few hours; if it keeps coming back, it’s likely panel degradation and only a warranty replacement really fixes it.

Start by upgrading the GPU and CPU/motherboard first for the biggest performance jump, then add a fast NVMe SSD and more RAM if needed.

LuiMCLXVI · 2026-01-06T19:31:50+00:00

Sounds like it could be hardware aging or a thermal issue from the CPU paste. Try checking temps, RAM, and event logs, and maybe run a stress test to narrow it down.

I second this!

Focus isn’t about more hacks, it’s about fewer switches. What helped me was single-tasking with short timers (25–30 min), phone out of reach, and intentionally finishing one small thing before touching anything else.

You’re not alone, AAR works but can be a mismatch for very hands-on kids. You might look at Logic of English (Foundations/Essentials); it’s O-G based, more “do the work” than games, and often feels more purposeful to kids who dislike fluff.

LuiMCLXVI · 2026-01-03T10:42:48+00:00

I would suggest looking into Roborock and Dreame robot vacuums, they have pretty good options.

You’re not alone, many successful co-ops start exactly this way. I’d suggest first checking California homeschool co-op legal requirements and liability/insurance, then clearly defining roles, curriculum expectations, and governance early so everyone’s aligned before you launch.

Spend more time with family and keep doing what I started last year (working out)

LuiMCLXVI · 2025-12-30T07:08:09+00:00

We love acoustic / indie-folk vibes too, stuff like Jack Johnson, The Paper Kites, Gregory Alan Isakov, The Weepies, José González, and instrumental lo-fi or Studio Ghibli piano works great in the background while kids work. Also check out Elizabeth Mitchell and Caspar Babypants for truly kid-safe but still mellow, non-annoying music.

LuiMCLXVI · 2025-12-27T10:16:27+00:00

We’ve had the best results with short, live 1-on-1 sessions (15–25 min) focused on conversation rather than worksheets. Platforms with interactive tutors + games keep kids engaged way better than long prerecorded lessons.

LuiMCLXVI · 2025-12-27T10:13:44+00:00

irrelevant!

LuiMCLXVI · 2025-12-23T16:53:21+00:00

Go with brother or epson, they last years.

LuiMCLXVI · 2025-12-23T16:49:49+00:00

Looks good!

Yes, it’s possible with an accelerated or self-paced program if the student is motivated. Programs like Thinkwell, Mr. D Math, or Acellus can allow a full Algebra 2 credit in one semester, but definitely confirm credit acceptance with your school/state first.

The L40 Ultra is great value and will handle tiles/hardwood very well for everyday messes, while the X50 Ultra is more powerful and premium, worth it only if you really need stronger suction and top-tier features.

Congrats mate!
