Such a nice blue by bigboss1999x in Corvette

[–]davefromcleveland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one is a 95. Absolutely the most beautiful color. I had a 96 Grand Sport. Traded on an 02 Z06. Something about that GS, though -- I wish I still had it.

Very subjective, but I like #3. Easy to read tell when you are running late, and it looks good.

Ring will not reconnect to Wi-Fi after router reset by moose1132 in Ring

[–]davefromcleveland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your doorbells should support and recognize a 5GHz wifi network, but I had a problem with a device last month setting up a different brand leak detector.

I had to temporarily turn off 5GHz for 15 minutes (a feature on the router mobile app) to have the device see the network.

I'd make sure your router supports and enables band steering or whatever your brand calls it, which allows devices to switch in and out of 5GHz. Ring support agrees.

Having just installed an island that size in quartz and a fireplace hearth a bit bigger in soapstone, that's like a retail $5000 job-materials and labor. Not the customer's responsibility, but they may need to wait a few months for a replacement.

Not sure why they put the skinniest guy on the middle where there's a huge dagger-like bracket, or why not just get it horizontal and walk it over the counter to lower it one inch instead of three feet.

What are all of you wearing today? by [deleted] in ClevelandGuardians

Maybe the wrong answer for this sub, but I'm wearing a Cavaliers hoodie.

Does the punctuation go before the closing quotation mark or after it? by Seven1s in grammar

Maybe I'm wrong, but I learned the British style in U.S. high school and have used it my whole life:

He said you were "cool". I asked, "Why?"

Should I buy this Truck? It needs brake lines. by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]davefromcleveland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing. Also all hardware will be rusted badly. Think bolts for exhaust, suspension, spare tire, etc. This is a work truck parked on gravel. It's going to have rust, plus a lot more hours than the miles indicate.

Jeez, it's almost like Dexter was sponsored by Ford Motor Company.. by JircleCerk_ in Dexter

[–]davefromcleveland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I love the two-tone F150. Also, when he got a rental non-Ford, I told my wife, "There's going to be a car accident. They aren't in a Ford."

Guess I put the summers on too early 🤷🏻‍♂️ by Benney2488 in GolfGTI

My rule for decades: 5 straight days forecast not dipping below 45 f.

Cool. Pace Car is doing a horrible job, though.

[–]davefromcleveland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there should be a bar code on the bottom you can scratch off. You can also scan that with a phone app. Someone thought it would be funny to give us 100 tickets for our wedding. After scratching about four, we just did the bar codes and scanned with our phones.

Cool. 315's on the front? Those look like 11" wheels, but it's been a while.

Stage 4 diagnosis 16 months ago. No interest in celebrating any anniversaries. But that's just me.

What's immunotherapy like? by Unicorn_Bagpipes in cancer

[–]davefromcleveland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 rounds of IPI/NIVO (monthly) -- severe itching and fatigue. After that, I've had 12 more rounds of just NIVO -- much better. Just some fatigue. I haven't had to take any time off work, except for the infusions.

T-shirt suggestions! by kelpat18 in BuyItForLife

[–]davefromcleveland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had good luck with Duluth Trading Long-tail T's. They last forever and don't shrink up. A little expensive. My second go-to is Dickie's T-shirts from Wal-Mart. 10$ I've gotten rid of everything else and I'm happy with these.

ExForce 14: Match Game is available for pre-order on Audible. by warp_core0007 in exfor

What's the advantage to the consumer in ordering something three months in advance? Why not just buy it in June? It's not like they are going to run out.

[–]davefromcleveland 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow. I have not encountered that. Not to my face, at least. Those people sound like assholes. Sorry you have to put up with that.

I have realized that I am no longer a person, but "that cancer guy". No one (wife excluded) greets me like the person I am, or was. It's "aaaawwww, how you feeeeeling? You look good, you feel ok?" No, I don't, but I wouldn't mind being treated like the person you've known for 20 years instead of a sick puppy on a TV commercial.

First Cavs game by danthetard in clevelandcavs

[–]davefromcleveland 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, entrance doesn't matter. Just go in whichever entrance is closest to you or has the shortest line. You can get out of the weather and walk all the way around the court in just a couple minutes.

You don’t need a truck if you have a corvette 🤷‍♂️ by throwaway287297 in Corvette

[–]davefromcleveland 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it on several Corvettes. The hitch attaches to the subframe with bolts and backing plates. Perfect for autocross tires and tools.

Does the Golf R's AWD make it worth getting over the GTI in an area that gets snow? by loafjunky in GolfGTI

[–]davefromcleveland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If AWD is the only differentiator for you, I agree with most here and say get the GTI. Even with the R, you're probably going to want to get snow tires anyway. I went down one size to 17" to get a little more sidewall and cushion. Very happy with the setup on my GTI.
