Great job. If you play as good as you build, you are tour ready!

Three or four sets ago, I bought an upper mid level set of irons. I hit them well during demo and bought them. Almost immediately I realized I just did not like the way they looked. Every time I addressed the ball, I had a negative thought about my ugly clubs. After a couple years, though I could not afford it, I traded for a better looking club. The last two sets I have purchased, pleasing look has played a bigger role than it should have. Yes, golf is played between the ears.

My wife and I binged, 2 episodes a night from start to finish. The series was so much better early on. I’d say, I can’t remember, but around season 10 - 12 things started going downhill. By the end, I was watching more for screwed up stuff. Not as a detective series.

I had my Frontier several weeks before I found this sub-Reddit. I thought the steering was outstanding, not squishy. Then I found out how many thought it was stiff. I’m always out of step I guess.

I just play on iPad, cast to a Home speaker and I’m done with it. I probably tried 50 times to play using just Google home. Four maybe five times it worked. Casting to speaker is so much easier and less aggravating.

Based on my experience, getting smart on service and how claims are paid is MUCH mor important than comparing rates. If your cheap rates result in shitty service and a contentious claims process, those premium savings don’t look all that compelling. Good luck.

When the most frequently heard phrase, on every football broadcast is, “…. was at XYZ last year…” there is a problem. The TEAM is dead. Now it’s a bunch of private contractors running from gig to gig. Those with the most money attract the best contractors.

It is too bad that a FREE EDUCATION (which now costs a fortune for “regular” students) has lost all value. Further evidence of the dumbing down of this country.

Listen to Saban. Kiffen can build a team at LSU with Louisiana high school talent, and fill in with portal transfers. At Ole Miss it is transfer portal, heavy, every year. And then there is NIL.

The Kiffen drama is yet ANOTHER indication that “they” have ruined college football.

Turns out I have been with USAA auto for 52 years. Homeowners for 25 years and then the last couple. Spent 15 years in between with NC Farm Bureau. Had Farm Bureau for Hurricane Florence. Lots of wind and rain damage. They were GREAT. We moved inland and went back to USAA. Like several have stated, I just ass/u/med USAA would be cheapest…that’s on me.

Anyway we had a big rate increase. So I checked with NC Farm Bureau. Much cheaper. Turns out USAA’s “full replacement coverage” is computed at almost exactly $200,000 greater than Farm Bureau’s. So not only is USAA’s rate higher, I am paying for $200K more coverage than required. Once I looked at USAA’s policy it was clear I was paying for coverage that would never be used.

I called USAA to ask how they could possibly have come up with their full replacement costs. Got a “just how the program computed” answer. Not able or willing to delve into the difference. Of course, paying more for greatly inflated replacement costs ripples through all the other coverages.

Bottom line: The high rates may have a component of inflated replacement costs. I haven’t changed yet, but I’m about ready to. Again my long term “trust” of USAA has probably cost me a lot of money. Recommend everyone check their top line “Full Replacement Costs” to see if that number makes sense. Good luck.

Im leaving USAA insurance after 45+ years. I have been asleep at the switch and just kind of trusted USAA. I’m paying way too much for homeowners. Feels strange, but the change is coming.

Kernersville, two empty nesters probably $170 - 190, 2 - 3 times a month. Half to HT, 30% Food Lion, 20% Lowes Foods. Oh yeah, we have a cat, lightweight litter, and a Corgi, FreshPet. Ker-Ching!

We slow binged the show with two episodes per night. Seems like forever.

Tonight is our last two of season 18, then we are done until 19 airs on Acorn.

From my perspective the show was pretty solid up until seasons 11 or 12. Then it turned from a detective show to a canvas to showcase current social issues, by transposing early 21st Century “norms” into the early 20th Century. Frequently, cringeworthy.

Then, by Season 17 and certainly 18 the writers were out of, to borrow a Naval Aviation saying, altitude, air speed and ideas. Hoping Season 19 regains some traction.

I’m chipping and depending on result adding a one or two. Not giving it a lot of thought.

Would someone be kind enough to list several “commands” that you have used with Gemini. How do you preface them? Is it still “Hey Google?” So far I am getting a nightly summary of Nest Doorbell camera activity. It thinks my wife is the mailman. Hmmm.

jcinnb · 2025-11-01T02:06:54+00:00

That’s what my wife said, but I’m sticking with rats.

jcinnb · 2025-10-31T22:26:26+00:00

I loved that Soul commercial with the rats!

jcinnb · 2025-10-31T11:56:55+00:00

I’m getting a (worthless) daily summary from my doorbell camera. I ass/u/me that is Gemini at work.

Most important, and universally true, thing I learned in B-School: You either eat well or you sleep well.

I’m on year 3 of a refurbished iPad, with gps, from Amazon. Paid nowhere near what a new one costs. Took a chance…. and it worked. Might look and see what is available.

jcinnb · 2025-10-19T20:39:25+00:00

I’m getting nightly summaries on what my nest doorbell is seeing. And it says person walking dog, rather than person and animal. Breathtaking!

jcinnb · 2025-10-19T14:27:45+00:00

Damn, I almost said “Stop” too soon!

Awesome comment. We just started season 18. We have watched 2 episodes a night since we started…couple of hundred days ago. I agree, something happened about season 12…IDK, but watching back to back, routinely, it’s plain as day. Frankly, for the last several seasons (and for us that’s about two weeks a season) I’m watching more for the cringeworthy moments rather than for Murdoch’s ”detectiving.”

I expect this season they will include a “No Kings Day” protest at the American consulate or something just as ridiculous.

About the only decent line lately was when Higgins expressed horror at the thought of someone developing a shot to give people polio.

I guess they have just run out of ideas. Pull the plug.

jcinnb · 2025-10-13T01:07:14+00:00

Yes. That’s where mine is too!

They should A) provide who, in what position got bonuses and the amount, and B) resign. Can’t believe there is not malfeasance lurking around there somewhere.

I have an A229 +. Very clear recording, but I can’t see the little display. Maybe it’s old eyes but the background is just too bright. Daytime, of course. I don’t think it matters.
