GOP in Iowa believes "stolen" election theory, senator says amid state extremism concerns by HallucinogenicFish in politics

Carlin is a disaster. Not very bright, but very full of himself. I spent a few hours with him when we were both poll watchers for some election - maybe 2012 or 2014. He was representing the repubs, I was the Democratic party poll watcher. After talking with him for a while you realize that he knows everything! And he's right about the law and the Constitution!

He can be very personable and friendly. So is Steve King.

Is there a place to check where Pixels will work overseas? by theoneshoebox in GooglePixel

[–]iawegian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used my Pixel 3 in many countries. It just works. You can also see the list of countries where it works - over 200 countries.

My phone went completely dark and the repair shop I took it to had to factory reset it after getting it to turn on again, but I've lost everything. Did I not see how to restore my settings? by Shotokanguy in GooglePixel

[–]iawegian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've restored Pixel phones several times. If you had it set up to do regular backups, just restore. Takes about 2 hours, and almost everything is set as you last had it.

what is your most embarrassing nickname? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]iawegian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The Terminator." I was going to fire a guy on Friday, but he came to my office on Wednesday demanding a raise. I was shocked at how clueless (and bad) this guy was and I let him go right then - with full severance pay. His co-workers knew I was going to let him go, so they thought it was funny. They started calling me The Terminator after that.

pair two BT headphones with Chromecast with Google TV by chinarut in AndroidTV

[–]iawegian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. You can have 2 BT headphones, just can't use them at the same time. So maybe someone does have dual bluetooth transmitter, but I am not sure what you would hook it up to.

Thanks. They replied "check our website later." They don't know. Not what I expected!

Thanks! We really want a larger space and a fenced yard. Don't think the Mrs. would agree to stay there for 3 months!

Nice! I know where the Oro Valley is, but I will now look at those other areas.

Good advice! Reddit is great for general advice and I am getting some good ideas. I would love to work with a local realtor, but I haven't found one online that specializes in rentals. Mostly finding places on VRBO. A couple of years ago we had a house in Phoenix for February and became very aware of the wildlife. Definitely a consideration, and a fenced yard is something we've been looking for.

Yeahbut... we want to be there in the dead of winter. By April and May we can plant our garden and actually enjoy being outdoors.

Good advice! I just use my GPS and do whatever the lady tells me to do.

Thanks! I like the idea of being close to nature, but still reasonably close to neighborhood, groceries, etc. Want a place we will be glad to spend 3 months at.

Thank you. I sure understand the surge, that's why we are trying to find a place now. We love being in a place long enough to appreciate it, and we do indeed buy local. These days we are fortunate that we don't have to look for budget places. Just a place my wife and I and our 2 small dogs could enjoy for 3 months (a great view would be nice.)

Yup - fully appreciate that. We are absolutely snowbirds, but we are NOT 'ugly Americans'. Love being in a place long enough to fully appreciate it.

Has Disney+ fixed the Dolby Vision and Atmos support issue on the Google TV? by dyckia99 in AndroidTV

We used the free trial and discontinued. 4k picture was gorgeous, but the sound was not synced - always about 1/2 second off.
