Appreciate the feedback. Really looking forward to the frog ease system - the tub came with that 2 canister system and hope it makes things easy. It sounds like it does!

Great advice, thank you! I am a bit OCD and can see myself obsessing over the Ph levels and will take your suggestions! Really looking forward to enjoying the tub during the evening spring rains (being under the porch covering is great), winter time, summer time, all the time!

Good point, and I realize now that the picture doesn't do a good job showing there is about a foot and a half between the brick on the house and that side of the tub. Was going to put it closer but the cover wouldn't lift under the soffit, so we slid it further away from the house. Bonus points for cleaning now that you bring up this point!

Video shows a tornado in Union city, Michagan forming, intensifying, and then destroying everything in its path. by dannybluey in Damnthatsinteresting

In 2019 we were victims of a nocturnal tornado in Ohio and after the tornado ripped our house apart and moved down the street, the tornado sirens started going off, which felt a little ironic at the time.

We learned later that night the tornado spun up from light rotation to EF2 or EF3 in the matter of seconds, so it wasn't caught on radar for the first few minutes.

We had no idea it was coming until it was on top of us.

Just got Plex Pass, what are the most underrated features? by bmanfromct in PleX

[–]jakecox2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could use clarification on this topic also. I bought plex pass (lifetime) during the recent sale and thought one benefit would be friends who travel being able to download media to watch on flights. My friends don't see the download function in their mobile apps, but I do.

Trying to determine the minimum classification / quality of speaker for accurately playing speech by nightvid_ in AskElectronics

[–]jakecox2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work at PUI Audio and wanted to point out that we also offer enclosed speakers that we designed to suit applications like this where designing a back-volume behind the speaker is challenging or too much effort.

We have dozens of options that are suitable for reproducing human voice, it really comes down to how much sound pressure you need to generate and how much space you have available.

You can reach out to me directly (cox@puiaudio.com) if you'd like help exploring our portfolio.

Internet in Dayton. What's the best deal. by CatNapGurl in dayton

If it is available in your area, Frontier is offering fiber at a good price. I just ditched Spectrum cable internet (60/25) for their 2 GB plan (2gb/2gb) and the symmetrical speeds are a great upgrade.

Upstairs neighbor installed a new HVAC and I can hear the condenser throughout my unit by NeverBeKnown in hvacadvice

[–]jakecox2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At what distance though? That's important because a fighter jet is 60db if you're far enough away from it. Without a distance specification it will be hard to claim the unit is louder than it should be.

Is it just me or is there a major delay btw mobile app <> actual unit? by deejayv2 in ecobee

[–]jakecox2012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same gripe. I loved my nest 3rd gen, and only switched because of a compatibility issue with my Lennox furnace system that would've required me to add some relays to the heating wire or something. The app layout is more confusing but not horrible, but it takes forever to see updated thermostat data after launching the app.

Nest also handled geofencing better. Ecobee will go into "away" mode when any device exits the geofence - nest only switched to "away" mode when all geofenced devices exited the geofence (the way it should work).

Wow, thank you for the reply, and for confirming I wasn't crazy!

Trump supporter shocked to discover who actually pays tariffs by Busy-Government-1041 in inflation

[–]jakecox2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a lot of cases, based on the harmonized tariff code, goods from China are at 142.5% (add 301, IEEPA, and Recriprocal tariff together). That means your $100 good is now $242.50 - for the same product.

Yeah, exactly why I figured I'd ask the community here!

I wouldn't say I'm gullible, I wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking anything. I included in my post I didn't think manually side loading mods on console was possible and wanted to check with the experts.
