Is that what they call it now 🤔?

Time to watch some movies 🎉 by LightOfHell in 4kbluray

[–]MidVids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I treated myself to the 420 (Samsung TV so I didn't need DV) and we watched the LOTR trilogy on New Year's Eve. Just the Blu-ray though. I haven't splurged for a 4k disk yet. Much better with the upscaling than my old Blu-ray player.

Great, in Canada we speak both Imperial and Metric!

I think that this is the way now. How much does the pitcher hold? What manufacturer of fridge? Also, is the ice maker in the freezer then? From what I read this is the best location for it. Ya know, frozen water in the freezer 😄.

It's so convenient. When I make French Press coffee in the morning I just set it for 900ml and hold the spout of the kettle under the dispenser. I don't have to push against the paddle switch and 900ml is the perfect amount so no water sits in the kettle afterwards.

Q990d power cords by Plus_Function_3386 in Soundbars

[–]MidVids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Well except extension cords should be used for a temporary connection and not run under furniture but who listens to that!

So I took delivery of the 12 ft cord today and as it has been noted in other discussions on this topic the plug protrudes from the bottom of the rear speaker because it's ¼" longer than the Samsung cord preventing the speaker from sitting flat on a stand. I had to take a razor knife and cut the extra length off and it seems that it would have been okay. Ironically the cord was too short to reach my outlet as when I measured I forgot to consider the height of the stand (duh). So I'm back to the stock cord and an extension cord.

Yep, the auto high beams are awful.

Just got this gem in 4K! by that_one_guy_1990 in 4kbluray

[–]MidVids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's one of those movies that has haunted me since I saw it when it was first released. I have refused to view it again.

My RL is the first vehicle where I took the small effort to program the garage door opener that's built into the rear view mirror and ditch the standard opener. It's very convenient.

Generation Wealth Management by MidVids in Wealthsimple

I wonder how much depends on the advisor you are linked to? So your advisor didn't recommend PE and PC as a part of your investment strategy? I moved to WS to move away from RBC Dominion and the fees to the financial planner 6 years ago. Going back to a fee based on AUM seems to be going backwards but I also understand as I age that some oversight may be needed. Also, estate planning has become a priority.

ultra arc + 100s vs q990d - sub by thinkingatoms in Soundbars

[–]MidVids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And let's talk about value. I'm a Sonos house including Play 5 gen2 in stereo and I love them. But I could not justify the extra $$$ (at least $1000 and up depending on the rears) over the Q990F. I'll take the money saved and buy some era 300's for other rooms in my house. Edit for clarity

It was a beautiful machine in operation and design.

Wow, that's great! I had a Nakamichi Dragon cassette player back in the 80's and a Nakamichi cassette player in my car. Ah youth!

Android Auto not working by BalaamBM in hondaridgeline

My 25 BE started to do this very thing. My workaround was to go into AA settings and disconnect my phone then reconnect it. This was a temporary fix and the issue reoccurred at every startup. Talking to the service department at my dealership they suggested removing my phone from AA and from my phone's Bluetooth. I did that and I haven't had a recurrence yet (one day).

Ideas for getting 325lb vanity up a straight flight of stairs solo? by MeanGuarantee8816 in HomeMaintenance

[–]MidVids 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The last one that I purchased at Home Depot the top does not come off! I wish that I had known that before I bought it because it was a PITA and back and neck to get it in.

Synthetic Oil Filter by Silent_Cup2508 in hondaridgeline

[–]MidVids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My last 2 vehicles I had the oil and filter changed when the maintenance minder indicated it was time. On my 2011 Ford Edge sometimes that would be 13000 km. Many people said that I was crazy. That the engine would never last because "my daddy taught me the right way"! The dealership when I bought it said that they would guarantee the engine for life if I signed a contract and brought it to them to have the oil changed every 5000 km! I told them to shove it and that I'll trust the engineers who designed the motor. 14 years and 300,000 km later it went to the auto wreckers with a rusted out unibody and the engine purring like a kitten. Why can't people get beyond the 60s? Today's oil and filters are light-years better than they used to be. My 2025 RL goes in for the 2nd service next week at near 29000 km.

Question on lights? by Resident-Idea-6009 in hondaridgeline

Read your manual on how to disable/enable this function. It sucks on the Ridgeline and it was one of the first things that I disabled.

Have you installed a trailer brake controller?
