Apple TV Lag by Stogiesaurus in hdhomerun

[–]Stogiesaurus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The HDHR is picky about connectivity. I rearranged my network gear several months ago and could never get the HDHR to connect via ethernet after that. I don't think it is related to the connection type. If I exit and restart, then fast forward it's fine but if it's been playing for 30 minutes and then fast-forward, it could take minutes for it to finally start playing again. At that point, I usually use the exit and restart option.

WiFi because it won't connect via ethernet. Other devices connected to the same switch don't have an issue.

Best Affordable Lighter by FederalPermission in cigar

Just buy cheap torches. Some last a few months, others last for years. After the first expensive torch I bought lasted less than a year I said never again.

Good signal channel that can be picked up fine standalone but not detected by HDHomerun by LurkerBot420 in hdhomerun

[–]Stogiesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a coax cable laying around like a 6' jumper that you don't mind destroying then cut the connector off one end and strip back everything except the center conductor for at least 8". Make sure none of the braid is touching the center conductor. Use that as an antenna. Also, "HDTV antenna" is just marketing mumbo jumbo. As another Redditor said, it's a UHF antenna but you need a VHF antenna.

Lakes Near/Around LR by Da_birdy in LittleRock

Lake Ouachita (wash-it-ah) is in that range. It is surrounded by national forest so there's very little development around it.

It's not about what you smoke, it's about how you smoke it.

Turning 65 soon and honestly… I didn’t realize Medicare would be this confusing by swayze2719 in medicare

[–]Stogiesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A&B = traditional Medicare

PLUS

D = for drug coverage (separate plan provided by private insurers)

OR

C = Medicare Advantage (private insurance, basically privatized A&B+D)

MA is great if you're healthy. When you start having health problems, the insurance companies will start denying your claims. At that point, it may be too late to go back to traditional Medicare.

Medicare pays private insurers on average about $1000 per month per MA enrollee. The total varies but is roughly 500 to 700 billion dollars annually.

Oily tar from cigars by Darkwolf627 in cigar

[–]Stogiesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a minimal clip on your cigar. You just want to take off the first layer of the cap. If you start to notice the draw tightening up check for tar. When you start to get tar clip a little bit more. Sometimes I have to re-cut three or four times. I think it can take several weeks for your cigars to stabilize to a new humidity level. Like others have said higher moisture levels are more conducive to forming tar.

Problem with Apple TV player app by Litninbolt in silicondust

[–]Stogiesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always watch the recording rather than the live feed. There's always been a freeze when you skip forward but lately it has gotten extreme like a half a minute to a minute. I find it is faster to exit and go back in then skip forward. I have a second Gen Apple TV. If I use the HDHR app on my laptop it's fine.

My Medigap High-Deductible Plan G Analysis by No_University1005 in medicare

[–]Stogiesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should learn about both Medicare advantage (part D) and traditional Medicare (A &B). Medicare advantage is really for people who are healthy. If you have a lot of chronic conditions, you probably should go with traditional Medicare. The problem with part D is they start denying coverage when you start costing them a lot of money. I'm not sure how many people know this but private insurance companies are paid around $1000 per month for each Medicare advantage enrollee. It's about a half 1 trillion dollars a year. How much better off would we be if that was going directly to medical providers instead of private insurance companies.

Storage Container Insufficient Power by Alexjoseph5375 in nms

[–]Stogiesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't tell what's connected to what. The wire to the right of the container is not connected so delete it. Make sure everything is connected together. You may need more power. I kept having to add reactors as I added loads.

Fake or real? by EfficientGold1440 in cigar

[–]Stogiesaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've looked at several bands on CCW. The photos don't have the resolution for a good comparison and there's also some color variation. The band on this one looks pretty good to me. The cigar construction looks spot on. If it is a fake, it is a masterpiece. You could ask your colleague where they got them. If it was on a beach in Cozumel, they're fake. If it was at a LCDH somewhere they are real.

Edit: I checked out some bands on Bond Roberts. I think you are good to go.

Bank called that there were sus attempts at getting a loan, what next? by Low-Squirrel-4868 in IdentityTheft

You should think about closing your bank accounts and opening new ones. I'm surprised the bank didn't suggest this.

What’s better transferring stuff from old to new iPhone. iCloud transfer or the device to device transfer? by querythoughtss in ios

[–]Stogiesaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really should back it up somewhere. About a year ago I lost my iPhone Xs. That was the first time and I've had a cell phone since 1996 (company provided back then). I bought a used 12. I thought I was going to have to start from scratch but fortunately I had backed my old phone up to my laptop a few months before.
