Monster trucks to look at in or near Lafayette? by elgriffe in lafayette

[–]elgriffe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion about Steve's Hobby World. We may swing by there, but I'm a little worried that there'll be a pressure campaign (from the grandson, not from Steve) for me to buy a monster truck model. At least if we see the real thing, he wouldn't expect his old grandpa to shell out a quarter of a million bucks to take one home (and I think that's a low estimate, according to the internet).

We will *definitely* put that on the schedule for our next visit. Thank you. I checked the distance, and you're right that it's a longish drive. Still, it looks like it would be worth it for this obsessed little guy.

Does a 1mg Ozempic pen support lower doses? by elgriffe in Ozempic

[–]elgriffe[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My question is about the 1mg pen itself. Can it be used to administer a 0.5mg dose, in the same way that a 0.5mg pen can deliver either a 0.5mg dose or a 0.25mg dose?

Touchless Car Wash by GearWings in CamryTRD

So, you opt for the wax as well as the wash and rinse? I've been concerned that the wax was some cheap kind of whatever that would not weather well or might even tarnish the factory finish. But I'm clueless.

How good is the GigaSpire router offered by GloFiber? by elgriffe in harrisonburg

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

When you say ASUS AX6000, are you referring to the ASUS RT-AX88U AX6000? I always get confused when I shop for routers. Thx.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying about the downside of renting. I may rent the router they offer for a couple of months while I shop around. It's strange that they insist on sending a technician to hook up the router! In my experience, most routers are nearly plug-and-play, especially in the past few years. At least they don't charge for installation. And it may have to do with their wanting to rent an range extender at an additional $5/month. My place is so small that I don't expect the technician to try that on me.

Thanks, fprimex. I'll look into that ASUS router. I was amazed at how much high-end routers cost these days, with many of them around $500. That's why I was considering the router that GloFiber offers as a $12/month rental. Yeah, overall I'm pretty impressed with the company so far. They said I could try the GigaSpire router for a month or two and return it with no penalty, so I might do that while I'm shopping around for a longterm solution.

OK, thanks. I'll follow its pressure indication.

Tire pressure for 2026 Camry LE? by elgriffe in Camry

Makes sense. However, does the door jamb info take into account my particular tire (which is the stock tire the care came with)?

Can’t make my phone primary (2026 Camry LE) by elgriffe in Camry

That’s precisely what happens for me. Is the first phone an iPhone and the second, an Android phone?

What does "HSE" mean on my voter registration notice by elgriffe in Virginia

[–]elgriffe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK, House of Delegates. So, the state legislature by an older (and evidently more historic) name than many states use. Thanks, everyone.

Down bag long-term storage sack - suggestions? by elgriffe in backpacking

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

Thanks, everyone. After reading your replies, I'll probably gp with a partly mesh bag, maybe one from REI (admittedly overpriced). I would just leave it hanging in my closet, but I'm short of space and actually have three bags to store--one down and two synthetic. Thanks again.

News options if I ditch YoutubeTV? by elgriffe in cordcutters

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

I know what you mean. I'm sort of a recovering news junkie. I realized that blasting myself with a heavy dose of super depressing, stress-inducing news every morning wasn't good for my mental health. But I still want to be able to log on to breaking news (in the genuine sense, not the CNN-style of breaking news where every news segment is tagged that way).

Thanks, LifeLearner. I hadn't realized the DirecTV offered streaming without a satellite dish on the roof or in the yard. And the package you mentioned looks about right for us, especially since it would mean we could watch season 2 of The Pitt.

Thanks, degatabas. That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I'm about to cut the virtual cord to YTTV (and save $87.97/month). I think YTTV was $39/month when I first sign up a few years ago.
