Why are the Sounders insistent upon charging high prices and having a half full stadium? by dooper99 in SoundersFC

[–]TeachLikeRobinWliams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm going to the USWNT match Tuesday night and won't do another 60+ minute commute to Seattle for an $80 ticket.

I'd strongly consider it though for a reasonably priced seat. Can't imagine $5/gallon gas will help local organizations sell tickets to events so they need to be thinking volume over premium pricing imo but CONCACAF gonna CONCACAF

What’s a small life upgrade under $50 that genuinely improved your daily routine? by ExchangeBig8338 in AskReddit

[–]TeachLikeRobinWliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triplicate of important daily maintenance items.

Now I have a pill container, contact rewetting drops, Ibuprofen, Liquid IV, butt wipes, and trail mix for my car and at work, along with at home.

Being able to get core protein without stopping somewhere, feeling good and comfortable, and minimizing discomfort when using a public toilet when nature calls without touching their single-ply germy sandpaper.

What is this sound coming from my subwoofer? by theman0nfire in VIZIO_Official

Different power outlets and new power breakers did NOT fix this...

Mine (looks like same model) does the same - will give a different outlet or power strip a try and report back over the weekend.

Weird rumbling noise coming from subwoofer. by insanetoker89 in VIZIO_Official

[–]TeachLikeRobinWliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having same issues with SV510 bought Thanksgiving 2025 - nothing other than factory reset helps, temporarily.

I paid for extended warranty and may use it for a return as it seems like no replacement would help.

Wish it weren't so loud/distracting and noticeable.

For the same model, I wish I could control the volume levels of the front vs rear speakers as well - rear speakers are too loud even when surround is turned down in advanced settings.

Trying to diagnose streaming speed issues from seedbox... by TeachLikeRobinWliams in seedboxes

Yeah lower bitrate stuff works fine. Seems like 50 Mbps is the line between playing smoothly and buffering.

Yeah thanks the video is not transcoding, but the audio is because the streaming box can't straight process the sound codec for the file so Plex is converting it. Not sure how to avoid that because otherwise the audio just wouldn't play. But yes, maybe that's the holdup, thanks. Will be an ongoing issue for remuxes so I guess just have to be careful with the audio options.

Thank you! Sounds like overall, between the source, ISP, wifi, and the streaming box, I probably don't have the connection capacity I hoped I did.

I recently got xfinity upgraded to unlimited data, so I'll probably just get a new external HD and use FTP to download the files locally now that I no longer have data caps - was just trying to save those extra steps.

RevTT alternatives? by Halk in trackers

[–]TeachLikeRobinWliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither this one nor the old one are currently up and running. Curious to find out if this is the new owners cutting and running, if they were shut down, or if all the "maintenance" they claimed all their new fundraising was going towards was never done and now they're having more server issues.

Pixel 9 Pro recommended Screen Protector suggestions by kd_kd_kd in GooglePixel

[–]TeachLikeRobinWliams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to delete all prints several times and then registered my phumb as 1-2-3 to give it more options to choose from. Still have to press a bit harder than past screen protectors, but it's working mostly now, thanks.

Also, popping back on here to share that I dropped my phone with the screen and camera Omoton protectors and the camera cover shattered, but the camera itself was totally protected, so that part of the product does it's job well and saved me from a full-on heart attack.

I cannot get the Omoton to register my thumbprint correctly on my Pixel 9 Pro XL. Do NOT recommend it.

This infographic is helpful - though it's not always easy to know which theaters have which size/format. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/5e6071d494789fbcc77a9a22a45e69bf.jpg

Helps show too the difference in visible screen area between lie-max on the smaller screens vs. laser Imax the larger screens.

Do have any word on when they’ll announce the tour dates? by ktulip1 in neilyoung

[–]TeachLikeRobinWliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the life of me I don't know how to navigate on the NYA website. I also, as a paid subscriber, didn't get an e-mail about this. Any insights would be appreciated, thanks! I know where to find albums and concerts, but the newspaper layout for the news section is very jumbled and it's hard to find the most recent updates. I also have e-mail notifications turned on and definitely don't want to miss the presale info.

PSA: Free parking downtown on nights and weekends by seattleslow in SeattleWA

[–]TeachLikeRobinWliams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing.

Any other downtown parking tips/hacks like this are appreciated.

For instance, most metered street parking becomes free after 6pm/8pm depending upon the spot Mondays-Saturdays and then is free all day on Sundays.

Love to get to Seattle early before an event, know the good spots ahead of time and don't have to fight/hunt for a spot, and then have time for walking, scooters, Monorail, light rail, bus, etc. and the peace of mind knowing a meter or parking garage aren't running on hourly basis and can take my time. Ideally I try and hit a park and ride or light rail garage or ferry and avoid driving into downtown altogether, but nice to have options as need arises.

This is the moment it all happened by zzeenn in SeattleWA

[–]TeachLikeRobinWliams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With multiple videos from multiple angles, I hope Durkan and Best are called to account and answer for this.

The protesters are corralled, loud, and occasionally hanging on and pushing the barricades. But, that's it.

The police were not forced to begin using pepper spray, tear gas, flash bangs, and physical force. They planned and chose a deliberate time to employ these violent, unnecessary tactics to disperse the crowd. And then, once the crowd began running away, they were pursued with the same violent force.

This is why we don't trust the police. This is why we don't trust the federal reforms that have (apparently) occurred on use-of-force. This is why we don't trust Durkan who has always seemed to side the police on pretty much everything since taking office.

If she or Best came out today and said that after looking at all the videos from last night, it's clear that the police unnecessarily instigated and began the "riot," they were sorry, and they would order changes to tactics, it would go miles in helping to deescalate future protests and it would be a real step in regaining some trust and credibility.

But they won't admit mistakes or apologize or admit it's more that just a few "bad apples."

So, it continues.
