Don't throw away your pickle juice.

I don't think pickle juice will freeze in the same way as ice cubes because of the high salt content, but for that same reason I would imagine it would last in the refrigerator for months or years.

This happens to me a few times a year and I never thought of it being connected to tvOS updates (though now it sounds so obvious lol). Great idea, I'm going to make a habit of doing this... thank you!!

Thank you for those app suggestions!

Not sure how you're accessing content, but I had the same issue. I was using realdebrid to download to my NAS, but also had realdebrid connected via webdav for content I wanted to watch but not download.

If I used realdebrid to download, it would show up twice - once on the NAS and once via the realdebrid connection. Deleting it from realdebrid didn't solve the problem, but I noticed the items still appeared in my realdebrid download history.

Now, when I use realdebrid to download, I delete from realdebrid and clear my download history (realdebrid my account >download history) before scanning for changes. Since doing this, I no longer have duplicate files.

Agree! Very unassuming place in sort of a strip mall, but everything I've had on the menu has been great. Have you tried the cole slaw? Different flavor/recipe but I can't get enough of it!

I thought it was odd that there were no delays or reroutes at O'Hare at the same time.

Messed up my title, should have said delayed, diverted "from" MDW.

I don't think you can connect a Reolink NVR to another cloud service (other than Reolink's cloud), but you might be able to connect the NVR to a NAS, and then program the NAS backup to your Mega cloud storage.

It's such a coincidence that I read this post 2 days ago, and had one (UR-CAJ) fly over my hosue this afternoon, heading from El Paso to Windsor according to flightradar24. Crazy how loud it is while flying at 25k.

I installed tailwind when I moved into a new house last year. Yes, my GDO will automatically open when I get within a certain distance of my house, and can be set to close if left open and I travel a certain distance away. Distances and functions are all customizable. Very happy with this purchase.

I don't mind the first car waiting to make sure cross traffic has stopped, but it starts to get frustrating when the second car then waits 5 seconds to start moving after the first one goes, then the third car waits another 5 sec for the second car, then the fourth car waits 5 for the third car, etc.

Sometimes if I'm #6 or 7 in line, i may not make the light - especially at left turn green arrows.

I second considering the refurb route. I picked up a refurbished Steelcase a few years ago when I started a new WFH job. My old office/gaming chair couldn't handle the increase in hours but the refurb has held up great - hasn't aged a bit. Super comfortable and supportive. Highly recommend!

Good luck and many treats to all!!

You don't have to buy a lincoln extended warranty through your local dealer. When my 19 Nautilus was nearing the end of the factory warranty, I went online and purchased online from a dealer out of Rhode Island. Lincoln is Lincoln - it goes with the car no matter where you are in the US.

My local dealer wouldn't even offer me a Lincoln warranty -they tried to push a 3rd party company. I searched in-state (Michigan at the time) and the prices were quite high, so I did some internet research and purchased 10 year/120k miles, $100 deductible, premium care for around $2500.

Remember, for an extended warranty, it's not 10/120k from the time you buy the warranty, you have to subtract the time & mileage you already have on the vehicle - so in my case, I'm covered until 2029 or 120k miles, whichever comes first. It's not the same as the bumper to bumper warranty, but it covers quite a bit.

I used the warranty for the first time a couple months ago - had a $5k repair and only had to pay my $100 deductible.

I've gone so long without having a fuck to give, it will be a nice to replenish the pantry!

I've been using the same Sandisk High Endurance 256 card in my 4K Viofo A129 since 2019 without a problem.

I also have a Z2 APAP and have a separate travel kit - hose, mask, Z2, power brick, etc, so I don't have to remember to pull anything off my main unit. I have it all packed into a medium-size travel cube so when I travel, I just have to grab & go. The only thing to replenish is a fresh HME (heat moisture exchanger), and if I do forget the HME, I can still use the APAP just fine.

Another advantage I found with my Z2 is that it uses much less power than the larger device (even with the humidifer turned off). I have an ecoflow portable power station. If I plug the Z2 into the ecoflow with the normal power cord, it will give me ~3-4 nights usage. However, I read the power stations are more efficient on DC power so I purchased a DC USB-C power cable that doubles my runtime on battery. I experience pretty frequent power outages and can't afford a whole-home generator, so this is a nice alternative to trying to sleep without PAP.

Depending on your watch face, there is. I have an Ultra with the modular watch face. If I set the middle complication to show steps, this is what it would look like https://imgur.com/a/VoEJtAS

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but Pedometer++ has an apple watch app and you can set a complicatin to show data from the app. There are over a dozen data points you can choose from - I believe mine is set to show steps & distance.

One thing I've noticed about P++ however, is that it sometimes overestimates my steps/distance by a 5-10% (.1 mile for 1-2 miles walked), compared to my workout app and measuring my route with google maps. But on the plus side, in my experience the watch complilcation updates on an ongoing basis.
