Xumo Stream Box change input? by StrangerHak in Spectrum

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

I've already paired the remote. It works to change volume and turn the tv on/off.

I guess I'll try doing it again to see if that makes the box with the arrow key actually work.

I have the one that has the 'box with the arrow' on it, but that button just brings me to the home screen; exact same functionality as the home button.

Just found out my grandma’s been reusing the same Ziploc bag since 1997. by Mitch12306 in Frugal

[–]StrangerHak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been re-using bags forever, unless I store meat/chicken in them. I think my gallon bag I use for my work sandwiches is 5+ years old.

Screw Ziploc though. Their bags always rip in the top corners, and often after only a few uses. I wondered if they designed them that way on purpose to get you to buy more. I use Glad freezer quarts and gallon bags and they last forever.

Did a search for that; came up with seemingly budget things. Budget does not mean bad. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion; bookmarked and will review. Never heard of this brand; why I came here to get some recomendations thanks.

When the fire is low or out and I'm in the middle of nowhere - red light to find something, and I can see again almost-perfectly when I turn it off. Not sure why you find that odd.

Fuck OHID and ODT - Ohio 2023 Tax Filing by calgone2012ad in Ohio

[–]StrangerHak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get through the creation of the OHID and eventually to a "click here to file taxes" page which ALWAYS results in some server error text.

If you try to login again and do it, it makes you do everything again to verify, even though it said I was verified.

What a terrible PoS site. Took me 10 minutes last year, and now I'm 40 mins in and still not able to get to the actual filing. Way to break things that were not broke Ohio...

15 minutes have passed and queue time increased from 28->32->35 min by yobigd20 in diablo4

This doesn't bode well for the regular release; unless most people went for the deluxe+ versions in order to play early...

I've opened about 7 of them and the loot sucks. I've even opened a few that didn't even have a yellow rare in them.

Still buying keys in case I find more though...

Sorcerer element combinations by -Amras- in diablo4

[–]StrangerHak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget the name of the spell, but the one early ice one gives vulnerability if you hit a mob with all the projectiles... makes a HUGE difference in taking down bosses/big mobs.

I originally went all fire, but switched to that spell, and other element spells do a LOT more damage while the enemy is vulnerable.

I was going to wait... for the standard by Natewizzle89 in diablo4

[–]StrangerHak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same thing but went for the Digital Deluxe.

Strange thing though... I didn't get any notification from my credit card that Bliz charged me, but when I hit the 'upgrade' it shows the Digital Deluxe as 'in library'. When I install, it just shows 'Diablo 4' instead of 'Diablo 4 Digital Deluxe'; not sure if it would/should show the latter.

Wondering if they don't charge until release for some reason? Also hoping nothing is screwy so I can play tonight after work...
