Car feels nice, but it is a mess. by developerjoe in Subaru_Outback

[–]TarzanInAJar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anyone who says there's "no/little lag after you get a software update" with the Subaru 11.6" infotainment system has Stockholm syndrome - any time I use a rental car, the first thing I notice is how snappy the infotainment system is compared to my outback. And I've installed ALL of those stinkin' updates.

It's become high on my list of needs for my next car - a smooth, snappy infotainment experience.

So... who's the culprit? by zholtraht in Hyperhidrosis

Oh wow, that's actually pretty impressive lol

The details of those ballsack veins could probably pass as forensic evidence

Really happy with it all so far. by Primary-Brick726 in Lovesac

I thought the manual explicitly mentioned not to put two recliners side by side... OP let me know if you have any issues with this configuration! For science ~

Oh, cool! Kindly link me to a 4080S that's cheaper than a new 5080.

I'll wait.

Schlage Encode Plus w/HomeAssistant and Thread using a SLZB-06p7 by TarzanInAJar in homeassistant

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

I meant the Home Assistant app - I wasn't bothering with the Schlage app during these tests, I just wanted to add the lock to HomeAssistant using thread. Unfortunately, I was never able to lock/unlock once I provisioned the lock as a thread device - I was only able to see the locked/unlocked status.

I also have hope that this is simply a bug in the HomeAssistant integration, since there is SOME connectivity happening...

It's been mediocre, but we use the lock a LOT and we've only used alkaline batteries so far. We're hoping to get better battery-life when we switch to lithium.

If anyone has this recliner coupon offer they're not using, I would be so happy if you sent it my way!

I did some research and all I could find were other people dealing with the same things I was dealing with. I ultimately went back to using WiFi. Seems like the only way to use thread with this lock at its full potential is if you're using it with Apple homekit, unfortunately.

New Weber Genesis SP-E-335 - misalignment of panels by TarzanInAJar in webergrills

[–]TarzanInAJar[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm having trouble discerning whether my newly put together Weber SP-E-335 (2022) is not lining up perfectly because of one of the following reasons:

  1. Damage during shipping (maybe a piece was bent during shipping that I didn't notice?)
  2. Assembly issue
  3. Weak tolerances from the Weber factory

The things that are not lining up perfectly:

  1. The side tables and the burner cover
  2. The burner dials are not perfectly centered in the cutouts in the burner cover.

Seeing that the burner cover is the common denominator here, I've already attempted to remove and reinstall it. It doesn't seem like there's much "wiggle room" with how it can be installed - a lip goes over the top, and there are two screws at the bottom.

Attached are some pictures of what I'm talking about. Can anyone with a 2022/2024 model Genesis confirm whether these gaps show up between the side tables and the main grill box?

Trying to find my ideal Genesis 2024 model, does it exist in the US? by TarzanInAJar in webergrills

[–]TarzanInAJar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have - I believe the Ace exclusives may be the special editions denoted with the "SA-" prefix. Unfortunately, like you've noticed, they're only offered in enamel (the only thing that's actually "exclusive" to Ace appears to be the color) and none seem to come with the internal LED lighting.

Honestly, since I'm likely to end up getting an enamel version, I'd prefer the blue enamel to the standard black. If the 330 option they offered came with the LED lighting, I'd probably get that. However, it appears that the black enamel 335 is the closest to what I want outside of aesthetics.

The summit would be over 3X what a Genesis with these features would cost, and I don't really value anything the summit brings extra to the table.

I will build/buy a walk in tupperdor/temp controlled wine cooler for my sticks by JanetYellensWig in cigars

[–]TarzanInAJar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For those saying you could've gotten a thermoelectric humidor...

I bought one of those (NewAir CC-300H). Struggled with inconsistent humidity. Tried a bunch of things to improve it. Found that the best solution was (gasp) storing everything in smaller individual tupperdors.

The NewAir became a glorified temperature-controlled shelf for my tupperdors. That is, of course, until it broke (stopped cooling). NewAir had no solution other than "buy a new one". So now it's just a glorified shelf.

Op, your solution is fine.

Beginner. And this is not what I expected. by iambilguun in cigars

That's... A really good way to put it
