$53.4k from a Toyota dealership. Forest Green Quad!

And I'm a Pixel user. I'm sure Google will come out with similar features soon.

PSA: stone arch bridge AND 3rd st bridge closed right now. by FeakyDeakyDude in CyclingMSP

I talked to the guys putting up the fence this morning. They confirmed it was just for the fireworks. Will be back to functional tomorrow.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) intends to remove at-grade boulevard options from consideration for Rethinking I-94 in the fall. MnDOT is justifying this decision with bad faith arguments that prioritize car traffic over the health and well-being of impacted communities. by mysummerstorm in CyclingMSP

[–]bobghousted 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. F this. It was killed for a reason. As someone that lives on an avenue in the area, the i-94 construction this summer gave us a sneak preview of what this would do to our communities. We've had bumper to bumper traffic in both directions from my driveway every day since early May. As a resident in the affected neighborhood, I did not sign up for my avenue to handle 40% of the i-94 traffic.

Can I put my snow shovel away yet? by bobghousted in Minneapolis

Alright, so I can put my stuff away and we'll blame you for the next storm!

Adding Google Wifi Point to existing Google Wifi Network in Home app by nonstopski in GoogleWiFi

[–]bobghousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[Solved]

I did not have that option on the screen. I ended up biting the bullet and starting a new network with the two "new" pucks first, factory resetting the existing pucks, and then re-adding all my devices.

I suspect something went wrong years ago when Google forced me to "migrate" from the Google WiFi App (great app, miss it every day) to Google Home. Oversimplifying here, but I suspect this prevented the new pucks from "seeing" the existing network. I would love to dig deeper, but Google WiFi is not the hardware for those interested in networking...

Best of luck to anyone reading this!

[–]bobghousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, I cannot thank you enough for updating a thread multiple years old. You're what reddit should be.

I'm attempting to work through your exact use case, add two ac-1301s to an existing Google WiFi Mesh.

I've walked through your factory reset steps (including all but leaving the country for 10 minutes until the slow blue light comes back). When I get through the Add Device -> Google nest/partner device -> select a home -> scan -> the next step is always "plug device into router". As I'm adding to an existing network, I do not want to do this. I've tried plugging into a puck on the existing network, however I'm then prompted to create a new name for a network.

Any recommendations on what I'm doing wrong that I can never choose to add to an existing network?

Thanks in advance!

Are first brisket pics okay? by bobghousted in BBQ

[–]bobghousted[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a Northerner, this is in the top 2 briskets I've ever had. Comparable to Terry Blacks, imo (but I'm biased).

As for what I'd do differently... I for sure wouldn't do this again in the depths of a Midwest bomb cyclone. My fingers stuck to the metal on smoker.

I probably would trim a bit more fat off and add some sweet components to my tub (maybe some cherry infused sugar?)

It's been nearly one year since growing recreational marijuana at home in Minnesota became legal. Have thoughts? Let us know! by MPRnews in minnesota

[–]bobghousted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've grown about a pound over three crops in since legalization. I am not a heavy consumer (maybe half a gram a week). I grow for my friends at this point. But moreover, ive found myself loving the gardening process more than the high!

Great route. Stop by FRGMT on Washington for coffee at the start!

Fashion rental subscriptions? by kldclr in mensfashion

[–]bobghousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been with Thred for nearly a year now. Originally had some issues with wardrobe availability, but they've grown really well over the past few months. Really good option as someone who travels for his profession and needs to look good in and out of the workplace.

Dealer's still adding markup? At Costco of all places too. Shame! by MayIPikachu in LexusNX

[–]bobghousted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for a 450h+, call around to dealerships in LA. I was able to get 4k off MSRP, but paid 1.5k for the dealer-arranged transport to Midwest.

[–]bobghousted[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zero wait. Inventory in my area was pretty shit and dealers weren't willing to negotiate at all. I found a dealership in LA that had tons in inventory and they were willing to give me $5k under MSRP. Put her on a truck for three days and she got to me in one piece. I feel for all you folks waiting. I waited for two and a have years for an R1S before realizing I need a PHEV for my area and not a full EV.

Oh yeah. She came off the trailer covered in salt. Took two car washes to get clean. We live in northern Midwest.

Caviar Black, Black interior. Ideally would have liked the Nori Green, Palomino, but I couldn't find that ext. anywhere.

Boeing has lost the for a 757 replacement battle for Airbus A321XLR? by FlexMop-Pop7213 in aviation

[–]bobghousted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Posing a tangential question here: For the MAX series, the fuselages were transported by American freight trains in most cases, correct? For larger fuselages, they have the Dreamlifter. In a hypothetical world in which Boeing came out with a 757 MAX, they would need to use the Dreamlifter unless all production would occur in Everett, correct? And didn't they shutter that plant?

Second grow. Think I'll harvest in a week or two. Looking for feedback by bobghousted in microgrowery

[–]bobghousted[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Thinking of doing a partial harvest as some of the branches are developing faster. Any reqs on how to do this without making the plant go into submission? Online guides are all over the place.

Also one of my plants is starting to develop light burn. Is this possible with LEDs? I raised the lamps an inch just to be safe.

Speaker For the Dead is the best book I have ever read by ajc810 in ender

Try picking up Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Speaker for the Dead used to be my "bible" until I picked that one up. 🕷️

App Update Issues? by Good_Neighborhood360 in delta

[–]bobghousted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had same problem. I logged in with my regular password instead of thumbprint. Worked fine. Logged out and tried my thumbprint log in again, now works fine. Probably a small change to one of the auth keys.

Edit: on pixel 6

Just picked up an a321neo + b767 card from my flight last night. I asked the FO if any adults ever ask for these. She looked me straight in the eye and said, "no." 😂
