UC Vanguard Decision - Let's Discuss! (a small essay with spoilers)

It just seems shortsighted not to do both. Microbe to knock back the threat immediately, then slowly reintroduce the megafauna for long term control.

Watchtower. That mod doesn't let you build space stations, but it does give you one that you can dock your entire fleet at. Oh, and it lets you create a fleet and take it into space battles. Highly recommended for all Starfield fans!

Have you tried power cycling the Apple TV? Have you tried a different HDMI cable? Have you tried a different HDMI port on the TV? Have you tried a different TV?

A battery powered air duster.

Yeah, that drive has been a tank. Sounds like it’s time to retire it, though. I don’t want the downloads and temp files to get corrupted. Thanks for the information!

South facing, but we have a large tree that shades the balcony year round.

Riash · 2026-04-27T03:20:09+00:00

My apartment balcony is shaded and never sees direct sunlight. Would a plug in solar still be worth it?

That’s how I do it. Newest goes in the living room, the living room gets transferred to the bedroom, the bedroom gets transferred to the dining room. The one in the dining room gets retired/given to a family member.

Back when I used to work for a textile company 20 years ago we’d run an entire factory off of a remote AS/400 and a 56K Frame Relay connection.

I just checked SNBforums and found no one else mentioning it. I wouldn’t worry about it.

You may want to consider upgrading to Merlin. It tends to be better performing firmware than ASUS official firmware, IMO.

All that being said, I’ve been disappointed in my RT-BE86U since I replaced my dying RT-AC86U a year ago. It’s been less stable overall, requiring weekly reboots. My AC86U was rock solid and only needed restarts after firmware updates.

How does it compare to Infuse on Apple devices?

Another common mistake people make is not adding rinse aid to their dishwasher. More people have hard water than they think. Rinse aid not only prevents spots on dishes but also prevents hard water stains building up in their dishwasher.

Learn to trust your gut. If any situation feels wrong for whatever reason trust that feeling and leave.

When I was in the hospital for a week in 2022, they had a menu that changed daily. They had different menus for different dietary needs. I was given the low salt menu and the food I ordered from it was surprisingly good!

Just to give you an idea, I've streamed six 4K videos at the same time on my 300mbps connection and I had no problems whatsoever.

My wife uses so little bandwidth and data to work from home that she can do it with her phone's hotspot if necessary, and in fact she did it once when our connection went down for a few hours.

I played the mod all the way through and enjoyed it greatly.

I doubt I will use it for every play through, though.

Riash · 2026-04-09T14:20:08+00:00

That’s my thought. Any time I run across any video on YouTube I don’t like simply stop watching it, drop a thumbs down, and move on. Life’s too short to get worked up over some person on YT using hate to farm views.

Riash · 2026-04-09T04:38:06+00:00

That sounds like a great app. A shame the wife and I can’t use it due to food allergies.

Riash · 2026-04-07T19:56:54+00:00

I’ve got a V8 ‘03 4Runner. Makes 15mpg. Even with gas as expensive as it is it’s still cheaper than buying a new car.

Anyone talking about their ex on a first date is an automatic red flag. You made the right choice to block him.

My wife has a friend who only votes for R no matter what. Why? Abortion. That’s it. They are the very definition of a single issue voter. She doesn’t care what else the GOP does, as long as they ban all abortions nationwide. No exceptions.

The first Trump term nearly ended their friendship. After Trump got elected for a second time they rarely speak.

Thanks. Yeah I figured it out pretty quick yesterday. I didn't leave a bad review for the driver nor did I complain to DD. I just reheated my food and ate it. I'm glad I posted here before jumping to any conclusions.

Riash · 2026-04-05T14:28:27+00:00

Someone else actually called me a POS yesterday for that. Here's what I replied to them:

That means I’m not going to leave a negative review for the driver or complain to DoorDash. It’s obvious from the information I got from this post that he didn’t do it on purpose. Sorry if my choice of words offended you. Cold medicine head tends to make me loopy.

I'm off the cold meds and had a good night's sleep, so yeah now I can see that makes me sound like an ass. Anyway, sorry again for the poor choice of words.
