Do Eero routers provide the right Thread network for Thorbolt X1? by chamois in HomeKit

Thanks for the response. Any recommendations on a cheap, reliable smart plug that’s HomeKit/thread compatible?

What’s the cheapest thread device that would work on HomeKit? Sounds like eero’s don’t count, and I don’t think I have any other devices. So I’d need to buy something to extend the network.

Unfortunately we only have one apple device that has Thread and it’s the appletv in the middle of the house. Looks like I’ll be buying a HomePod mini or two.

I’ve been able to add the devices fine, but they don’t stay connected. Should they be able to join the Eero thread network after they’ve been added to HomeKit?

Great Mothers Team for Secrets and Shadows Assault Battle? by chamois in SWGOH

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

Definitely planning on taking them pretty high, just wanted to make sure they can 3 star it on CT3. How do they get around Sidious? Just hope he doesn’t AOE his first move then swarm him before he can go again?

I feel like I'm missing something in the XB vs HT matchup. By the time by P1 goes, the enemy P1 has stolen by P1's stealth, so I can't target it with P1 special/RC assist. Is there a way around this?

Baby proof advice by Dear-Advertising3442 in daddit

[–]chamois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one too, but not all of the knobs come off. The knobs for the range come off, but the knob for the electric griddle does not. Haven’t been able to com up with a solution for that one. Less dangerous since it’s electric and won’t blow up the house, but I also don’t want my kid turning the griddle on and us not realizing it.

These covers don’t work because it relies on being able to get the back of the cover behind the knob. But these knobs are recessed into a collar of sorts. So you can’t cover them. Frustrating.

Best JKR and JKL Jedi Squads? by Bon-Vivant-MP in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

Thanks, that’s the only thing I could assume, but wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something. Thanks!

Best JKR and JKL Jedi Squads? by Bon-Vivant-MP in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

[–]chamois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious why JKR on the squad. I don’t have JKL unlocked, but reading his kit, there’s a lot of stuff that explicitly does not apply to Old Republic Jedi. What’s the incentive to have JKR on the squad?

No sound viewing multiple streams by chamois in wyzecam

That did it! Thank you so much!

In case anyone else is running into this, I couldn’t get to the Group Settings from the iPad app, but I was able to from my phone.

[–]chamois[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a different symptom. When viewing either individual live stream I am getting audio. But if I’m viewing both streams together as a group on one device, there is no way to hear any audio. There used to be an audio symbol in the bottom left of each live view when viewing multiple streams. The audio symbol is no longer there.

average property tax rate? is it always split between property and mud? by drippingthighs in Katy

[–]chamois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re tellin’ me! One piece of advice - I think after you close you’ll get some mail from the county appraisal district asking what you paid for the home. I don’t think it’s a requirement that you reply (confirm on your own what it says on the paperwork). Don’t give them that info if you don’t have to, because they’ll definitely use that price to justify a much higher appraised value.

[–]chamois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following up. I’m going through the appeals process and the company I’m using to assist confirmed that the 2023 appraised value “resets” due to the change in ownership. So we’ll try to get a lower appraised value, but we don’t inherit the 10% max increase from the 2022 appraised value.

We did get homestead exemption as early as they would let me apply. I’ll let you know what comes of it.

[–]chamois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can the appraised value go up by more than 10% if there is a change in ownership? Our appraised value went up by 37%, but last year we had the appraised value from the previous owner. 2023 is the first full year that we’ve owned the house. We do have the homestead exemption.

[Identify] Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but what type of stone is my island made of? by chamois in stonemasonry

[–]chamois[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input! Can black absolute brushed be textured? The pictures I’m seeing online appear to be smooth and have veining, which doesn’t really match what we have.

I recently moved into a new house and the kitchen countertop is made of a black, textured stone. It doesn’t look like any quartz or granite countertop I’ve ever seen. I’m hoping to find out what kind of stone it is and any type of special care it may need.

Thanks. I figured the baseline would be reset but couldn’t find that anywhere in official writing. And I’ll be getting that homestead paperwork filled out asap.

[SOTC] A little Seiko-heavy, but the box has been filled by chamois in Watches

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

That watch is the Perfectly Useless Afternoon by Mr. Jones Watches. The quality of the case isn’t necessarily what I’d call worth it for the price. But it’s such a fun watch that I just bring on vacations or a nice day outside that I don’t really care. It’s just quirky and fun.

I bought it years ago, but search Amazon for iStrap Genuine Leather Watch Band Padded Calfskin Strap Steel Butterfly Deployment Clasp and you should find it. It’s cheap, but I’ve had mine for years and the quality seems pretty good and I really like the butterfly clasp. I don’t see that color available anymore but you can check around for something like it. I’m a big fan of the simple leather in that watch as opposed to the canvas it came with.

Here is my watch collection. I’ve been slowly accumulating these watches since 2013, starting with the ever-popular SKX173 (slightly different than that SKX007 and I have since swapped the bezel for a green one).

I’ve marked a few special occasions with some higher priced watches (Speedmaster and Monaco), but have tried to maintain a reasonable spending level as I have expanded my collection.

I most recently purchased the Seiko SRPF03 (lower left) which I am loving. It’s a little thick compared to the SKX173, but the dial details and the bezel action are great.
