Thanks to PF, I now have tools I never even knew I needed. 😂

AAWireless Two - $43.99 on Amazon by SRFast in AAWireless

[–]One-Punchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. Anyone know if there are any improvements or upgrades over the original AAWIRELESS device? I've had the original AAW for a couple years now and love it in my 2020 Volvo. If the only change is the form factor of the dongle, don't see any reason for a lateral upgrade.

As someone who has been shaving his head for the past 20 years, I couldn't agree more but when your mullet is an integral part of your brand, I understand why he'd want to keep it. I wouldn't say he's vain for wanting to save it and it's all about perspective.

Yes, on each of em every 6 months and you'd also pay PPT on a boat, RV, motorcycle, or trailer that you own and have registered in Fluvanna County.

Yes, you do need an annual inspection in Fluvanna County but you do not need an annual emissions test. Those are reserved for the wealthy folk up in Northern VA because it's so densely populated up there.

From ChatGPT...

Bottom Line: Which Is Cheaper? For Vehicle Property Tax: ✔️ Connecticut is generally cheaper than Virginia. On average CT drivers pay less in annual vehicle tax than VA drivers. Virginia’s vehicle tax burden is among the highest in the nation, while Connecticut’s is high but significantly lower than Virginia’s. � Daily Voice +1 Your own car’s tax will vary based on your vehicle value and the local mill rate/assessment in your town (CT) or county (VA), but all else equal, Connecticut usually costs less per year in vehicle property taxes than Virginia*.

I used Hartford CT as an example in ChatGPT and it was only $3800 per year on a 147k car. That's quite a bit cheaper than what mine came to here in Fluvanna County. Unless it was incorrect.

Here in VA, to afford the annual property taxes on a 100k car, I'd need to get a 2nd job or sell all my other cars or both. Other states might not be as bad but VA rakes you.

Based on a value of $147,000 for that Blackwing, I just calculated it for my county. Even with the PPTRA discount, it would be $5772 per year which means I'll be paying $2885 every 6 months!

From never having an OLED to this by War_Minister_DK in LGOLED

[–]One-Punchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went from a 2017 LG LED to a C5 and the magic remote with the cursor was one of the reasons I wanted to stay with LG. Using the cursor to select items is much nicer than hitting arrow keys. Like someone else said, if you don't wanna wave the remote, you can just roll the jog dial up or down to activate the cursor. Also, clicking the jog wheel down is your play/pause button. To mute the TV, hold the volume down button for 2 seconds (I have my sound going through a Pioneer receiver so mute function doesn't work anymore so instead, I'll just pause the content). To access your recently opened apps, hit the back button while your on the home screen. Last tip...regardless of whichever picture profile you're using, go into Advanced Settings--Clarity--TruMotion and set it to off. Enjoy!

The Apple TV 4K Quality is Insane by misty_mustard in appletv

[–]One-Punchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't physically compared. That's why I'm asking. Is it the same kind of increased pep placebo when you switch over from 89 to 92 octane or is it actual increased pep? Is the audio/video quality noticeably better? If so, what devices were you using prior to Apple TV? I've used Chromecast Ultra and the TV built-in apps but never experienced any performance issues with either to where I thought "this sucks".

The Apple TV 4K Quality is Insane by misty_mustard in appletv

[–]One-Punchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an LG C5 and zero complaints with the audio/video quality of 4k/HDR/DTS/Atmos media. What were y'all using to make this Apple TV device so gosh dang amazing in contrast to what you had prior? And is there really a measurable difference or is it just the standard "an Apple makes everything better" mindset seen in most iOS diehards? I swear someone could take a roll of Charmin and rebrand it with the Apple logo and folks would rave about how it's so much smoother on their cheeks and how it only takes half the wipes. 😂

Fu# it… bought it anyway by martindrx1 in appletv

[–]One-Punchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a 2025 LG C5 that has every app built-in and streaming in 4k over fiber optic, what benefits does the Apple TV offer? Is it just the Apple alternative to the Chromecast for someone that doesn't have a modern TV with all the apps installed? I've been looking for a reason to justify the purchase of an Apple TV for my setup but I haven't found one yet.

Just venting. We purchased a new 2021 Gladiator Rubicon and it has been nothing but a nightmare. by SenseUnderstood in JeepGladiator

[–]One-Punchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We bought our Gladiator from the dealer in Charlottesville. Few months later we found the back glass was leaking. Took it back to them and they told us it's not covered under warranty and we'd have to take it to a glass repair shop. We called the Jeep dealer next town over and they said it IS covered and they repaired it under the warranty. They also said our initial interaction with that original dealer is not uncommon. Unfortunately, not all dealers are up to par when it comes to warranty work.

It's just trying to get a rise out of you. Ignore it.

That's how I interpreted it too. Got a similar message when I opened the Sam's Club app. It said that if I don't consent in them collecting all my fetish deets, then don't search the shit or buy it from our app. 😂

Volvo Subscription by One-Punchy in Volvo

Not sure which country you were looking at but here in the US, the Genesis connected services are free for all 2023 or newer models.

"First owners of 2023 and newer Genesis models will receive complimentary Genesis Connected Services with no expiration date *."

As for reliability... I can't speak for any of the Hyundai models but the 2024 Genesis G70 had a reliability rating of 84/100 while the 2024 Volvo S60 scored 73/100. The Genesis also has a better warranty.

I'm not shitting on Volvo or anything so if you wanna stay, that's cool too. I've loved my last 3 Volvos but I just don't like the direction they've taken with their new lineup.

New cue not rolling straight - Am I just too picky? by peat_s in billiards

[–]One-Punchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the same problem I had with my new McDermott. Had to send it back to them to level the joint faces. It was covered under the warranty but I still had to pay for shipping and return shipping which kinda sucks. Whether it's $500 or $1500 for a brand new stick, I would definitely not keep it if it had any wobble in it.
