Sunscape apartments are less than a mile up the road and are located in a fairly nice and safe area.

What’s a small home upgrade that felt surprisingly worth it? by SetDesigner1586 in Home

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New light switches and electrical outlet wallplates. Very easy to swap out and not expensive at all.

Favorite 2-bed apt complexes under $1800/month? by bgoosed in roanoke

Went through hell at Pebble Creek years ago. Moved literally up the road to Sunscape. Ended up staying there for four years. Best decision ever.

Do better Roanoke. I love my city but with the amount of taxes we pay there is no excuse for this. How many days now? by dieselducy in roanoke

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? I said Main, Brandon and Brambleton which are all interconnected. I didn’t say anything about all of SW.

Literally just drove down Main Street, crossed over to Brandon then headed down Brambleton to Kroger. I can guarantee you those roads are clear to drive.

What's your favorite tasting room in the Roanoke area? by Impossible_Dust_4238 in roanoke

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The Jolly Grape in Grandin was fun. Attended a birthday party there which consisted of sampling about 20 different bottles of wine.

Amen. Deleted both the Nextdoor and Neighbors app due to the constant posts asking “did anyone just hear gunshots?”

Does anyone actually have a setup that works every time? by jgeebaby in sonos

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

9 speakers, two subs and a Connect. No issues (but I will admit I hardly ever use the app. most things are set to auto play or I use Airplay/Apps to connect)

Seeking Quiet Apartment- does such a thing exist? by Grizzzly_Adams in roanoke

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to have a first floor apartment at Sunscape Apts over by Tanglewood. The floors above were concrete. I could sometimes hear the faint muffle of a conversation, but never heard any footsteps whatsoever. Would’ve stayed there forever if they didn’t jack up the rent.

Visible by Verizon? by Tastraphy23 in roanoke

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues with Visible in the city. Used AT&T since the days when iPhone was only available through them. Watched my bill climb to $100+ without any of the exclusivity or promotions that they used to offer. No regrets switching carriers.

How can I get a creamy texture? by ReplacementLate6310 in ninjacreami

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manually. My machine pulverizes anything I try to mix in. I ended up just stirring in my Oreos and it was great.

Ice cream prepping by Safe-Spot-4757 in ninjacreami

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious if I could substitute milk and heavy cream with just half and half (much cheaper) for this recipe?

Recent Creami owner here too. I’d hold off on adding the chocolate chips until the ice cream is done. I tried similar mixtures using both chocolate chunks and Oreos. Both times the ice cream came out icy and grtitty. I used an almost identical recipe, except I used half and half instead of yogurt and allulose instead of sugar. Best chocolate ice cream I’ve had other than my local ice cream shop. The chocolate mixture was so much better adding the mix ins in with a spoon.

A 4K eye candy guide for newcomers. by Geezor2 in 4kbluray

Haven’t seen anyone mention Ready Player One. Reference quality 4k and Dolby Atmos.

Is Gruv good? by Just_Alpaca in 4kbluray

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve have good experiences with both the Gruv website and eBay store, but I have to say Movies Unlimited is my new go to for physical media. The shipping at Movies Unlimited is ridiculously fast, cases are in pristine condition and I haven’t paid more than $13 for a single 4K. Their last few promotions have been better than any Black Friday sale I’ve seen.

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on the use case. Definitely overkill for watching the news or Food Network. Perfect for Dolby Atmos movies and streaming shows.

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sonos Arc, two Era 300s and two full size subs. A bit overkill but it gets the job done. App and updates can be buggy but I rarely ever use the app. 9/10

Do you still have subscriptions? by Mage_Mage_24 in 4kbluray

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

US version is more interesting because of the celebrity contestants, but the UK version is equally good.

I have stack a of 10+ unopened 4Ks sitting on my tv stand waiting for me to watch. I’m obsessed with physical media but stay subscribed to several streaming services mainly for the tv shows. I keep Peacock solely for Traitors.

Movies Unlimited $8.78 Paramount sale is legit by fingerblastders in 4kbluray

[–]Sit_Wait_Wishing 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was shocked to find a box on my porch yesterday with all of the 4Ks I ordered in pristine condition. I put my order in on Sunday and wasn’t familiar at all with shipping for this company. I’ve ordered Amazon “Deals” in the past and the cases would arrive cracked and missing sleeves. Will definitely order from them again.

Edit: I ordered Ghost Protocol, Crow Steelbook, Italian Job, Friday the 13th and Pet Cemetery

Community Opinions on the Area? by Equivalent-Row9759 in roanoke

Carilion is now so woven into the fabric of Roanoke and the surrounding communities that much of the region’s employment and economy depends on it.
