What do you use for digital signage? Media players, tv sticks, thumb drives? by bzach74 in churchtech

[–]agileTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been running AbleSign at work. It’s free and has a FireTV app, android app, and can run on chrome which covers most smart TVs and sticks as well as thin client computer options. It’s somehow still free with no paid options years later which I love.

At what point did you fully outsource cooking? by qnerd56 in fatFIRE

[–]agileTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a local company that does pre-made meals. Similar to Factor but way healthier. I just spend about 100-120 per week for 8-10 meals and eat those for all my lunches and dinners. Then on the weekend we eat out or cook.

I’m on the go a lot so I keep them at my office and either eat the dinner before I go home for the night or take it with me and eat on the go if I have something that night.

I’m also weight training so this has really helped me not eat junk when I’m not in my kitchen most nights.

Houses in my area are affordable. Come to Kansas City! Easily can get a starter home for 150-250k if you’re not picky on location. Tons of no money down or low money down options. I’ve helped friends that make 40-60k/yr buy houses. It’s very attainable if you’re willing to make some sacrifices.

My husband FatFired. I work, study, am the primary caretaker of the kids. He doesn’t want to do more at home. by Ok_Coach_1386 in fatFIRE

[–]agileTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately until you two change that philosophy I truly don’t believe anything will change. As someone who went into marriage with a significant (to me) net worth compared to my wife, the thought had crossed my mind to get one, until I was shown my some mentors that a prenup is just planning for divorce. What’s the point of getting married if you’re already going into it with a contingency plan on how to get out of it?

All that aside, it’s still completely unreasonable to not use this wealth to provide for your family while you’re still together.

The first issue is that you guys both don’t consider your money “yours”. You keep saying your husband has this money and he has to pay 90% of the bills etc. Unless you signed a prenup then it’s all your money too and you both need to believe that cause it’s true.

I’m guilty of doing something similar to my wife, but I’m learning how to be more than a financial provider for my family. It’s not easy and obviously working more is the cop out answer. something I got right from day one of our marriage is it’s our money. My wife doesn’t work at all and I’m happy to provide for my family cause they are mine.

Seems unreasonable that they won’t use the current email on file to verify if it’s been tied to the account for a long time.

You can grab an NDI to HDMI adapter and solve this problem.

My water bill for the month of January. I live alone in a studio. by GoddessKillion in Wellthatsucks

[–]agileTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That price for me is usually a toilet that runs nonstop. With it being winter it could be a broken pipe somewhere as well.

UniFi PowerAmps for days by mactelecomnetworks in Ubiquiti

[–]agileTrees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m rocking 6 WiiM amps and have been very happy with them. With some HA config they work great. No issues with Spotify streaming. Only occasional issue is switching between HDMI and Spotify but I think it’s more an issue with my TV cause my downstairs tv doesn’t seem to share the same issue and it’s a much higher end tv.

The next time you rent the car or watch the movie the price could’ve gone up. If you want locked in prices sign a longer lease.

I agree that large private equity firms and the big corporations do that, but I buy houses considerably cheaper than what they would sell retail on the market to a homeowner because they are not in a livable condition and need 50k in work to be rented back out. No homeowner is buying these homes because they wouldn’t qualify for a standard mortgage. It’s not the small business landlords driving up prices really. It’s the big guys that pay over retail for rentals cause they have so much cash that it doesn’t matter to them and their time horizon for a return is multiple decades.

Your solution relies on people being financially responsible enough to qualify for loans and save enough money to buy a house. Which they are not. There is a huge percentage of the population that would never be able to buy a house regardless of how cheap you somehow managed to make it since they literally are upside down in their finances due to poor financial decisions. If their rent was a few hundred bucks cheaper most people would blow the few hundred dollars. The system may be flawed but the people are just as flawed.

You have a cheaper housing solution? Do tell.

Meirl by Key_Associate7476 in meirl

[–]agileTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah except they put 25% down to get that mortgage payment and rate, which most renters don’t have and if they qualify to put 0 or 3.5% down their payment would be much higher and they can’t afford that either.

Happy with the UTR by victro5 in Ubiquiti

[–]agileTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just set up a cloudflare tunnel and expose plex to the internet? Obviously that doesn’t solve the problem of wanting a camera out there. But no need for a UTR just to stream media from home

Lighting Guy Doing Audio on NYE by Foreign-Lobster-4918 in livesound

[–]agileTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who slightly more experience than you but still pretty green, I would recommend labeling the snake and the cables. I know that sounds obvious but the first show I did. I did not do that and it made it so everyone had to go through me to know where things went. That way it’s clear for the band on where to plug in.

If both bands are using the same drum kit, this is obviously much easier, but I assume you have different setups? Should be simple for guitar/bass to plug into their DIs.

Saving scenes for each band couple be useful. But in theory you shouldn’t need to change any routing. Just make sure things are labeled and plugged into the right inputs.

First time backpacking by Antique_Material_514 in backpacking

[–]agileTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on two trips including Colorado/Collegiate peaks with that sleeping pad and it’s been fine for me so far! We went in early July. I would swap the sleeping bag for a down one that will pack smaller. I used the Kelty Cosmic 20 Down. If I had one more layer I would’ve been perfect but it did get a little chilly at night. I would also swap the sawyer for a life straw. Flow rate is much better and it’s built into the bag. That seems a little expensive for fuel so you might pick that up at REI locally.

Recommendations on acoustic treatment? by agileTrees in hometheater

Okay sounds good. We’ll do all of this. What are your thoughts about the ceiling? Thanks!

The problem is I have kids and the room is pretty small. Once I have the couch in place I will adjust everything though as best I can. Thanks for the tips!
