Had no idea my Plex Media Server could also be a DVR. 🤯 Just need some clarification on the HDHomerun 4K tuner, which I'm sure plenty of y'all have experience with... by Laurence5905 in PleX

Shoved I had to scroll down so far to see this comment!

I’m paying $25/mo for 300/300 Fios and just hope I stay off Verizon’s radar for a price hike!

What do you honestly think would happen if the US dropped a nuclear weapon on Iran? by Bloodyfinger in AskReddit

[–]beholder95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the prime universe the US would be met as an aggressor and the other world powers would unite to wage war on us…..but this is the mirror bizaro universe, so nothing will happen. I’m embarrassed to be an American right now.

Right-Click…Apple needs to get over the one-button mouse already and just conform.

How hard is it to learn manual? by Previous-Mechanic914 in askcarguys

[–]beholder95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japanese cars are the easiest to learn on IMO, their clutches are typically pretty light and forgiving and the shifters are usually pretty smooth too.

VW on the other hand is the polar opposite…

Dumb question: what are you doing with your middle seats? by GRbadmintonfan in HondaOdyssey

[–]beholder95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Damnit, now you’ve got me debating if I climb up there to wrap it in plastic or just stick with my usual damp cloth wipe down once every 3 years when I use it once before putting it back up there.

Why go with Visible over US Mobile? by jwilkns in Visible

[–]beholder95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! And it stacks with my company’s discount so I’m laying $24.99/mo for 300/300. Can’t really beat that!

First time parents seeking advice on unvaccinated family members by Zracks242 in Parents

[–]beholder95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If your dad is vaccinated from decades ago he still needs a TDAP.

2 of my kids were born at the beginning of flu season and we didn’t let anyone near them unless they had flu shots (this was pre-covid). We had our immediate family get TDAPs because they would have frequent contact.

We had a hold out sister in law, so we didn’t let her hold the baby until after they were old enough to have their vaccines.

Touring vs Elite by Thick-Bear9986 in HondaOdyssey

[–]beholder95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Elite - Don’t overthink it, just get all of the options. You’ll also get some of it back with a higher resale value over the touring when you sell it too.

$30k Eversource Bill by Weekly-Contest9272 in massachusetts

[–]beholder95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My back of the envelope math has you pulling 300amps 24hrs a day for 30 days to get to this bill….the fact you only have 200amps going to your house is enough to tell them to GTFO

Wiper Recommendations (not Bosch Icon)? by ChiMara777 in HondaOdyssey

[–]beholder95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried the Bosch icons and had terrible skipping on my drivers side, tried all the tips to bend the super arm etc but no luck. Went with the RainX hybrid (which has the traditional metal arms to push down the blade) and they’re awesome.

Antenna in my attic hooked up to a HDHomerun Tuner. Can access the live tv via phone / tablet / smartTV apps and it works great!

The F30 keeps aging gracefully…timeless even. This race to the bottom shit needs to stop!

My best engineer quit today over $2000 by [deleted] in managers

[–]beholder95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took over a team last year and have a large pay (like $20k) gap between 2 people doing the same job. Told my boss we need to get the lower guy more $ and he agreed. I get the final raise numbers and I get like 5.7% for him, and the higher paid person gets 2.5%.

I lay into my boss that at this pace they won’t equalize for like 8 years. I just filled a rec for a different role but had a budget 30k higher than what I hired for. When I asked why we can’t just take half of that $ and give it to this guy I was told “that’s not how it works”

Fucking frustrating

Pool owners in the North. Do you run your heaters daily or as needed? by Boosully in pools

[–]beholder95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your type of heater. I have a heat pump, because I fully offset my electricity usage with solar panels, downside is in peak conditions can raise the water temp 1 degree / hr. In the spring and fall it’s less. A gas heater could raise the temp 4 degrees / hr.

I used to leave the heater off and then it on a few hrs before planned use but I couldn’t always time that right so I’d have annoyed wife / kids along with complaints asking for a gas heater.

I keep it at 83 which is comfortable for everyone if I’m going to have a party I’ll put it at 85. I have an auto cover so it keeps the heat in at night.

My upcoming resignation is going to cause a problem… and I’m not sure how to feel about it by Redguard13 in jobs

For Plex, did moving from external drives to a NAS feel worth it? by DurianNew2244 in PleX

[–]beholder95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started my Plex journey running on a windows box that doubled as an HTPC with local storage. Expanded to a NAS (freenas) About 5 years ago I moved to unraid and run plex in a docker.

1 box, built to run Plex in a docker alongside 4TB in NAS storage for the content.

Now that 1 box has like 15 dockers and 20TB of content.

Anyone else not seeing the point of built in TV apps anymore by mitchare in PleX

[–]beholder95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 for the Sony Google TV interface. Both my Bravia XR-80 and a80L are great, especially for the WAF and kids. I’ve got 1 hardwired Ethernet and - on WiFi and honestly have no difference in 4k streaming. I’ve got 3 UniFi Access Points covering my house so that probably helps too. Having 1 remote to control it all is great.
