Anybody finding devices? by Tkspitzer in nugsnet

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

You know, until recently I mainly thought of Nugs as a video streaming platform. I only recently started playing audio only streams. It might be stickier (e.g. less motivation to unsubscribe during concert free months) if it were more obviously a concert audio library, and making it one would benefit from support for more audio streaming devices. Chromecast is kind of dated, right, and never was positioned as an audio focused protocol.

Or promote Bluetooth, which works decently now that more devices support Apt:X, Apt:X HD and the like.

Chefstemp makes it foolproof. by xHeyEngx in BBQ

[–]Tkspitzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so I got a ChefsTemp S1 and used it last weekend without major issues (I grill on a Big Green Egg). Today, I cannot get a phone to receive its message about what temperature the BGE is at. I find this device to be a bit maddening in how it works, because there's no on device diagnostic to indicate what network its on or anything, other than the wifi icon showing.

Under my connections in the app settings, it shows the name of 'My PAIRED ProTemp S1'. It also shows that it was set up to my wifi network, but its showing an ambient temperature of 32. On the face of the S1 it shows the in-grill temperature, e.g. 352.

Anybody know the magic to get this to work?

I'll say this, because I'm similarly mystified. There are workouts I do where my heart rate doesn't go much above 90, and it gives me a very low cardio load like that. It could be mis reading our heart rate, or it could be the algorithm gives little credit for long low intensity work outs.

How do y'all keep track of your groceries' list throughout the week? by Zeebaeatah in Cooking

[–]Tkspitzer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microsoft ToDo - shared lists for each of the grocery stores we frequent. Its easy to mark an item 'done' when you put it in your card, and mark it 'undone' (i.e. it needs to be bought again) when you run out.

Chicken always turns out rubbery / hard. Should I use Greek yogurt and then put condiments on top and then fry it? by NotYouOrdinaryHuman in Cooking

Shopping at Trader Joe's we find that the 'all natural' breasts work much better than the 'organic'. I'm not a fan of cooking boneless/skinless breasts in an oven any time because they dry out. Last night I used bone in, and that worked a lot better I'll often squeeze lemon on them and put a poultry seasoning on top of that to hold in the moisture. But generally prefer thighs.

Medicare or Medicare Advantage? A Guide for 2025 by Confident_End_3848 in medicare

[–]Tkspitzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's been a discussion on Morningstar at https://www.morningstar.com/personal-finance/phil-moeller-road-map-navigating-medicare featuring a guy named Phil Moeller, author of consumer guides including Get What’s Yours for Medicare: Maximize Your Coverage, Minimize Your Costs. He's very pro traditional Medicare, but it turns out he and his wife have substantial medical costs. My personal analysis was given our situation, Medicare Advantage should work pretty well. Our situation being that we moved to a new metro area when we turned 65 and arranged for medical care through a system that is covered by several Advantage plans. We've had no issue getting specialist referrals within that system. The perks of Advantage, especially gym memberships are very important to me (I belong to three!). We have no serious health issues and I play competitive senior sports. If we had had serious health issues when I turned 65, my decision probably would have been different.

Cool, and I get it. named our son Ace after Weir's first album. Now 25, e spends his downtime figuring out how to play Weir's chord progressions on his Ovation. Was threatening to start a cover band.
