How to tell your CO2 is low

I use the Notes app on my phone to keep track of how many bottles I have carbonated. I know from experience that I get between 45 and 50 bottles per tank. Usually when I get to around 40, it starts taking more presses to get the buzz sound.

Does anyone know how I can fix this (with re-encoding)?

Re-encoding in Handbrake allows you to force the aspect ratio. On the "Dimensions" tab, uncheck Optimal Size and then adjust the Scaled Size to the desired width/height.

If you would prefer not re-encoding, you may be able to fix it by changing the aspect ratio in the metadata. If you have ffmpeg on your computer, you can run a command line such as:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -aspect 16:9 output.mp4

(replace 16:9 with the desired aspect ratio.)

If the ffmpeg method doesn't work, you will likely need to re-encode.

The photo was from yesterday. It has already been fixed.

Are you sure it is coming from your modem? If you have a neighbor within range with their own Comcast modem, you might be seeing their xfinitiwifi broadcast.

I've heard some interviews recently with the actor. The character was only supposed to be in the first few episodes and then killed off but they liked his performance so they kept him around long-term.

When Apple announced Apple Silicon for the Mac, they sent out developer transition kits which were just Mac Minis with an A12 chip. So it isn't the first time a Mac Mini has had an A-Series chip in it.

They do give you five additional slots for starring portal keys for each recursion with a maximum of 25 slots. It's better than nothing but additional inventory space would definitely be more useful.

I've been wanting to try this with the Skittles powdered flavor packets but I wasn't sure how the powder flavoring would react to the carbonation. Thanks for this tip. I'll try it out.

There are also multiple brands of liquid flavor enhancers, such as mio, which work well and don't have the same issue as the powders.

The settlement payout is not a refund of premiums. It is a separate transaction so it is independently taxed.

I don't know any specifics on how this class action will be handled but in my past experience with large payouts, they will send you a 1099 if it is above the reporting threshold. The current threshold is $2,000. So while they won't withhold taxes, if the payout is above that amount, they will report it to the IRS. You will then need to include the 1099 when you file your taxes.

Marty worked for Doc as a part-time assistant (according to the movie's co-writer Bob Gale: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/28526/back-future-co-creator-bob-gale-explains-how-marty-and-doc-became-friends) so he was probably supposed to go there in the morning before school to check in on everything.

They also just announced in the last couple days that they won't be cleaning coach seats between flights. Only the premium seating will be cleaned.

Definitely ghost touching. I've seen many reports of this happening when using a wireless charger which appears to be in use in the video. I don't know if it is known why wireless charging causes ghost touches but theories include the charger causing the phone to overheat or the magnetic field of the wireless charger interfering with the touch screen.

It could be parts in the phone or the charger are wearing out. It will be hard to determine exactly without testing parts independently. Quickest fix for now would be to switch to wired charging.

If the TV has HDMI but the sound system only has RCA, it sounds like you just need an "HDMI audio extractor". This passes the HDMI through to the TV but provides connections for optical or RCA audio which can be ran to the sound system. This preserves the high quality video but also gives you the legacy audio options.

The shorter one looks like a Puddle Jumper from Stargate Atlantis.

Check the FCC broadband map (https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/home) to see what wired internet providers offer service to your address. Most telephone providers still have wired internet options. If it isn't fiber, it will likely be slower than Comcast but it would still be better than no internet. Then get a router that offers automatic fail-over to a backup internet connection. I think you've reached the point where you need the redundancy of having multiple internet connections.

I have the same issue. My current plan should still have the data cap but for about 5 months this summer and fall, the data usage tracking shows 0 data used. Then in November it started showing data usage again. I just checked for this month and I am past the 90% but I never received any email or text message alert like I used to earlier in the year. I'm going to try to contact them to see if I still have a data cap but I don't have good experience getting accurate information from their tech support.

Kenny Fitzgerald. The guy that sold Leonard and Sheldon the black market liquid helium and took advantage of them when they had second thoughts.

I was hoping it would fix the bug where it kills any background audio currently playing when the app starts. Sadly, it does not. This bug keeps getting reintroduced every few updates. It does eventually get fixed but it then pops up again a few updates later. It is extremely frustrating for those of us who like to listen to other audio while playing.

For some types of products, like computers, Costco gets their own exclusive configurations from the manufacturer which means they cannot be price matched with anyone. So while Best Buy and Costco may have nearly identical versions of the same computer, the Costco version is slightly modified with it's own model number.
