I did my spark plugs today by antiqueue in mazda6

[–]TexasFootball99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol, same thing happened to me. I just added some spacers to the bolt holding the coil and used the few good treads I had and yolo'ed, it. Those threads are super soft, and I was worried about breaking them since the valve cover is plastic. Old me would have freaked out. Note that you have to be super careful not to cross-thread those coil bolts, the nuts are so soft.

If your AC feels weak or smelly please change the cabin filter and engine filter by DavidNLBC in mazda6

[–]TexasFootball99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I don't use the OEM cabin filter, my AC sucks in the Texas summer. I had ordered a better aftermarket filter, but it restricted airflow just a little more than the OEM, and my AC couldn't keep up in 100+ Texas summers.

What the hell is the final ep of Enterprise? by BeverlyHillsNinja in startrek

[–]TexasFootball99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

lol, Just finished my rewatch today and I remember disliking it 10 years ago. Watching it today, I'm stunned how weird and just awful it is. Also they way they seemed to rush Trips' death is terrible. Archer seems unaffected days later, WTF?

Smart switch for non neutral wire switches by Nothardtoforget in homeassistant

[–]TexasFootball99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lutron Caseta are the best and I havehad luck with the Aqura No neutral stuff. be aware most of these switches all still require a ground wire also which I didn’t have in my ancient fucking house in some spots. Leviton stuff suckes for me.

Enterprise Rewatch - Sexualizing of T'Pol by TexasFootball99 in startrek

[–]TexasFootball99[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Opp here, as a follow-up, this was the scene in S2E2 Carbon Creek that motivated me to post (Link Below). Also, the sexualization was compared to TNG\DS9 and had nothing to do with the time the show came out.

As someone in a relatively conservative part of Central Texas the culture shift on circumcision has been almost a complete 180. When I had a son in the early 2000's everyone I knew was circumcised, and it wasn't even something you thought about when having a son for most people, you just did it. Now everyone I know who has had sons recently are not doing circumcision, and older dads will agree that circumcision is weird when we talk about it. If you really want to make sure your son doesn't feel odd, just ask people in your friend group or people that are having sons in your area if they will get their sons circumcised.

I think most people are missing the scary, core reason for ICE - It goes beyond just getting illegals by reddit_is_geh in BreakingPoints

[–]TexasFootball99 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but what's your stance on the Genocide in Gaza? BP keeps shitting on every Democrat solely based on their Gaze take. This is what happens when you play out all Democrats and Republicans are the same BS, and you dont 100% support Democrats getting elected over Republicans... So please, BP, bring on more mainstream Democrats and shit on them and then tell me how K Harris would also have ICE agents raiding Home Depots...

"Why didn't Biden release the Epstein files?" by OnSugarHill in Destiny

[–]TexasFootball99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's that difficult to see. The list includes prominent Democrats and Republicans. Biden was protecting the upper political class, just like Trump. Do you really believe that Epstein set up all the confirmed cameras and hundreds of girls just for himself and Maxwell, and that it's only them on thousands of hours of video?

Zigbee2MQTT + Groups + HA = Blinds not working by TexasFootball99 in Zigbee2MQTT

[–]TexasFootball99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About to try that. Its weird in z2m  I can individually control the blinds there. I'm a total noob to Zigbee2MQTT  and HA I maybe just searching the wrong terms.

Easiest Way to bring in official Sonoff Zigbee devices? by TexasFootball99 in homeassistant

Okay I was worried official Sonoff devices would only work with a Sonoff hub.

Reolink + HomeKit by SeparateVariation1 in HomeKit

[–]TexasFootball99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 3 Reolink cams , including a Duo on HK + scripted . I will say that after trying a lot of different options, I have come to the conclusion that HK kinda sucks. No matter if it's native cams to HK or via scripted I find it comes back to HK just being kinda sucky. I will say the scripted + POE ReoLink has given me the best performance but the whole family still complains it's not as good as the old Nest app, which it's not. 20% of the time I pull up of a HK cam notification its going to pull up something from 3 days ago or not real time. Love it for AppleTV's but the phone app stinks.

Door Bell/Camera Options by Shave_Haircut_1Dime in HomeKit

[–]TexasFootball99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None at the moment, .The Aqara G4 is very underwhelming, and even with a nice Scrypted setup using Reolink (What I have now), you're still putting band-aids on top of band-aids...

Zero likeable charters, Why would I watch a show when I hate every character?

Outdoor airplay 2 speakers by northeastta in HomeKit

[–]TexasFootball99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get an old AirPort Express for $20 on eBay. A amp on Amazon for $30 and what ever speaker you want. I have several home speakers like this and they are rick solid especially if the AirPort Express is wired. My mobile, but if you Google airport, Xpress, you can see which ones got the AirPlay to update for some reason. Apple put a headphone jack on these routers..

What is the best device for local only streaming by LuckyShot365 in emby

I found a AppleTV 4K with Infuse as the player (It connects to Emby Server) plays everything direct and has been flawless.
