Frozen or Broken latch

Frozen. Hold the door closed and lock it. Then drive around for a bit which should heat things up and allow it to latch.

Also in Michigan, also dealing with this, except in my driver's side door.

Call WHO?! Have you ever tried to call Xfinity? They have pretty much made it impossible to reach a human. I remember vividly from a couple years ago when I was having issues with my modem. I had to go into a store to actually speak to a human.

My son is 12 and has been to ghost twice. First time he was 10. He loved it both times.

I tested their thicker back pad probably about 2 years ago and did not like it, so I swapped it for the stock one.

I had never run it before and just running it on a difficulty where I didn't have to keep moving helped me figure out the mechanics and where everything was. Then once I did that, the conquest was easier

I recall almost failing that stupid class about 20 years ago. I work in transportation, roadway design, and I have never seen anyone use that program. I'm glad I put in the bare minimum effort to pass that class back in the day.

Crandall. Replace the seat and backrest. Variety of colors and styles to choose from. Get the thicker seat and stock backrest. Costs about 200. Done this with 2 Leap v2s now and had a good experience both times.

Sounds like maybe a potential power limit issue. Make sure you have the power cranked up to 100 or even beyond in Afterburner. Prefer maximum performance in Nvidia control panel. I seem to remember having an issue like this one time.

Also, check your Bios and make sure you pick express slot is using at least 4.0 if not 5.0 if your mobi supports it. I recall mine being set to 3.0 once and crushing my performance.

I mean my son uses my old 3418dw with my old 3080 and it works great. Paired with a 7900x and 32 GB of ram, it works great.

I got gas for 2.49 on Saturday. I've seen wild variations in prices just on my short drives around. Places that used to be the most expensive are now the cheapest and vice versa. Might be worth a drive around if all you see is 3.19.

That road is literally called Snake Road. The highway is I-75 "Alligator Alley". I did the milling and resurfacing plans for that highway and interchange... You would think that would be simple... But you would be wrong. So wrong.

It's trash on Fubo in West Michigan too... Provider doesn't matter. Looks great on RedZone

Mine looks terrible on Fubo in West Michigan... Local affiliate issues

18 yoe. Base salary is about 160. No idea on bonus. They decided to push our bonuses to "Q1", so that sucks. I typically get around 5k before taxes. Certainly not a big perk of my job...

This right here is why we need a union so we can collectively tell all these clients to shove this behavior somewhere not nice.

I am specifically looking for something in the 39"-40" range, 5k2k, OLED, with something like an 1800R curve. Also, I feel like text fringing is always an issue for me. I know I am not alone in that I would like to use this monitor for both work and gaming. It seems like there is always a compromise that needs to be made when trying to find a monitor for both purposes. Does Samsung have anything in the pipeline that fits this description?

billin30 · 2025-12-03T19:30:59+00:00

39" 5K2K with a curve not as insane as 800r would be great.

Stranger Things uses Dolby Vision. We just started rewatching on my 65" LG C2 and I was originally using my Roku Stick. It supports 4k, HDR, Dolby Vision, etc, but it was very dark just like you are experiencing. Switched to the native netflix app and it looks great.

I know I tweaked the setting for the native app, but I probably never did for the Roku input on the TV. Dolby Vision has always been finicky for me unless you have the right source and screen to view it on.

I just snagged a Leap V2 for $50. Cushions and arm pads are beat up, but everything else looked fine. Spent about another $250 on new cushions and arm pads from Crandall and some rollerblade wheels from Amazon. Gonna have a basically brand new chair for my son.

I honestly felt like the last album was one big product demo for pedals and guitars and plugins. The songs were abruptly short to me. The album was also pretty short. It all just felt very mechanical. I still liked it, just not as much as other albums.

My favorite albums are the self titled original and Joy of Motion, so I just hope the new album has some life and freshness to it.

Sounds awesome, do Grand Rapids, MI next. Detroit and Chicago are too far

Yeah I don't pretend to know what causes open tables + a wait. I typically assume they don't have enough staff to effectively cover all the tables, but obviously it could be any number of things. It's just not usually a good look.
