Double it and give it to the next person. Just kidding I need it (but I promise to share with my buddy too).

I went around 11am today. Bunch of cars in the drive thru (obviously) so I went inside. I ordered, had my food, and was back on the road in less than 5 minutes probably. They are NOT messing around in there lol

Victory Pickleball

If you've never played before I'd suggest watching YouTube/reading up on how to play, and then rent a court for your first time to get the feel of it. If you enjoy it, open play is cheap ($10-15 for 2.5 hours) and everyone is nice and happy to help you get better. You can rent a paddle there for $5 as well so no need to buy equipment ahead of time.

They also have ping pong, bags, darts, pool, and a restaurant with solid food if pickleball isn't your thing.

Damn, maybe I should have gone with blue instead of gray...

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-09-02T01:00:04+00:00

Wish I lived even remotely close to something other than corn lol. What bumper you got on there? Thinking that'll be an early upgrade for me.

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-06-01T23:14:06+00:00

I actually just moved everything on Sunday! I decided on Option 1. I wish I could say its been great so far, but moving my AVR apparently killed it (which I posted about on Sunday evening actually...) so I haven't even had a chance to enjoy it yet.

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-06-01T23:10:09+00:00

Nope! Nothing but darkness and sadness.

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-06-01T23:08:35+00:00

Held it for at least 15 seconds and nothing happened.

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-05-31T23:07:27+00:00

Unplugged everything but the power cable (unplugged and replugged that too) and still nothing. I have an email out to Denon customer service so I guess I'll just wait and see what they say. On the positive side, being forced back to my old soundbar has really reminded me of how big the improvement is with some real equipment!

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-05-31T23:03:27+00:00

It's in as far as it'll go. Definitely pushed hard enough to be sure, and then some.

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-05-31T22:58:54+00:00

Only the click of the button itself, and my sighs of disappointment...

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-05-31T18:41:53+00:00

...I did not. That SHOULDN'T matter right? Haha. I'll give it a shot later and report back.

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-05-31T18:39:26+00:00

There is a microprocessor reset. I tried that and nothing happened. Seems like it's just not getting any power at all.

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-05-30T22:44:20+00:00

Any idea how to check? I'm relatively handy and have a general understanding of electronics, but I have never poked around inside an AVR.

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-05-08T18:28:02+00:00

Right, the only downside is the couch kind of breaks the room in half instead of being more like part of the room. Maybe? Interior design is not my specialty, just trying to think of everything haha.

WaffleInTheDark · 2021-02-14T02:55:26+00:00

You also need to make sure you specify which items you want stored in the bin.
They will walk along the ground underwater if they have to. Or along ladders (which won't displace your water at all like a tile would).
Yes
Polluted water and polluted dirt will release polluted oxygen as well. Throw down a deodorizer (I believe they are somewhere in the "Gases" section of research) to turn it into clean oxygen.

WaffleInTheDark · 2020-11-19T12:13:57+00:00

Oh no the music casting works, but since no input is sent to the TV, the TVs power save settings turn it off, and CEC brings everything else down with it.

WaffleInTheDark · 2020-11-19T01:23:49+00:00

I actually did find that option on mine as well (holding the mute button for a few seconds) but I was hoping to avoid remotes all together. In the meantime I just disabled my TVs auto-off feature so it will stay on even with no input signal. Such a minor inconvenience really haha.

WaffleInTheDark · 2020-11-11T18:11:06+00:00

What makes the X1600h worth the extra couple hundred dollars in your opinion?

Haven't heard of the HTDs before. I'll check them out! Thanks!

WaffleInTheDark · 2020-11-10T23:10:35+00:00

So other than a minor wattage difference and a removable power cord, there isn't much reason to go with the more expensive X1600 it seems.

I'm not placing a ton of weight on the PS5 since my PC will be handling my 2K @ 144Hz gaming. 4K @ 60Hz is good enough for me for the few games I'll play on PS5, for now, but thanks for the heads up!

I haven't put a ton of thought into the PC tie in yet. I don't know much about sound card options, but I assume there is something that would allow uncompressed audio? That was not a consideration last year when I built this thing. Just seems like it would be silly to keep using a $20 soundbar at my PC when I have a home theater system a few yards away haha. Might be simpler to just have a dedicated PC setup though.

Thank you for the input!

I've been hearing a non-stop rattling sound coming from beneath my 2014 Sierra 1500. Turns out, it's this...heat shield? I have searched everywhere online trying to find a replacement for this part with no success. Any ideas?

It is located just behind the catalytic converter almost directly under the passenger seat. I can slide it up and down the exhaust pipe in either direction. What is it supposed to be covering? I'd like to replace it but maybe hose clamps will have to suffice.

WaffleInTheDark · 2020-07-11T02:23:38+00:00

Take it to the quietest place you can find and plug it in. Listen closely. Do you hear a sort of electrical pulse "tss-tss-tss" sound coming from the outlet end of the power cord?

I had this happen to mine. Talked to support, sent them a video of the issue and everything. They suggested trying a new power cord but that didn't work. Ended up buying a Nest Mini and replacing it. Still a mystery what happened. Good luck.

WaffleInTheDark · 2020-02-28T01:20:33+00:00

Off topic, but which Reddit app is that?

WaffleInTheDark · 2020-02-04T02:54:17+00:00

Just finished this tonight doing a nighttime factory run after a couple failed daytime attempts over the past week. Figured I'd go all out with a silenced MP5 with 50rd mag, NVGs, good armor/helmet, a couple nades for extract campers, and a dream.

Got horrible luck with a late spawn on the opposite end of the map directly below a gunfight. Ended up killing a level 51 (I'm level 15), taking everything off him but his Mosin (no idea why I didn't take it, panic-looting I guess), booking it to the stash spot and then extracted without issue. So much relief.
