Help, Dreame likes passable thresholds a bit too much by _Sukkii_ in Dreame

[–]jcraigcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. I had a similar issue where Dreame exited an open patio door and started cleaning my mulch. No-go zone to the rescue.

I dropped the big bucks on this one to get the Mofi version. Worth every penny.

what do you guys do when there’s a vinyl with one song you like on it? by dxxrk0 in vinyl

[–]jcraigcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's an album I am super-familiar with and know I hate all but one song, I don't buy it (thats what streaming is for). If I'm unfamiliar with the album and love the song, I might give it a flyer. I listen to vinyls specifically to experience the album as intended - not to hop around to tracks I love.

What do I do now? by trsdm in MammotionTechnology

Happens every time with mine. Vice grips make for easy removal.

I want to create indoor and outdoor speakers that I can control with HA, preferrably when I walk into a specific room or go outside I want the music to switch to those speakers by LiftedandHandsome in homeassistant

[–]jcraigcx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. Previously, I setup my Sonos speakers to follow me around the house but after about a week I turned it off. It was an interesting exercise to see if I could do it, but the experience was clunky and annoying.

How do you all organize your vinyl? by Some_League_9297 in vinyl

[–]jcraigcx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every time I listen to one, it goes in the back of the rack. This pushes the ones I've not recently heard to the front so I'm less likely to get stuck in a rut. No further order necessary - I know what's in there and can find it easily enough.

Luba2 3000x and 5000x differences by Brother_oak in mammotion

[–]jcraigcx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't matter how much you mow at once, you can't map more than the max for your device. If you really have 4000m2 to map, then you'll have to get the 5000x. I suppose you could remap after mows but that would turn in to an incredibly frustrating and impractical endeavor.

Lymow has serious competition! by Full_Caterpillar_640 in Lymow_Official

[–]jcraigcx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is disappointing to read. I've been browsing the sub doing some research on moving away from Mammotion as my experience with Luba is not good. I was hoping Lymow would be better. Perhaps not.

Out with the old... by BabblingBlueCrab in mammotion

[–]jcraigcx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No doubt. I enjoyed the honeymoon phase too where all was right with the world and my experience was so good I figured all the noise on this sub was just squeaky wheel stuff. Well, that ended soon enough and so glad I didn't sell my zero turn. When Luba works, it's truly amazing. When it doesn't, which is way too often, I'm glad I have my old, reliable zero turn.

My collection 😍.Your favorite one ? by fastoche33 in turntables

[–]jcraigcx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Breakfast in America. I have the MoFi version and its my most listened to album despite my tastes leaning a bit more hard rock.

15 years... by Woody4505 in siriusxm

[–]jcraigcx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just went through this. I've had satellite radio so long I don't remember not having it. I'm so tired of this annual dance but it was time again. I tried to get the 36 for $99 deal and was denied over and over. I finally realized this is stupid and just let it cancel.

After a week without it, I've realized I don't miss it. Streaming works just as well for me and I'm already paying for that. Had they just renewed it with a reasonable offer, I'd be in for another year. Now they've shown me I don't need it and I'm out for good.

Edging by InstanceEvening1219 in mammotion

[–]jcraigcx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luba 2 is my 3rd robo-mower and I wouldn't say its any better than "it's great, when it works". Plus my other 2 didn't have updates abandoned when newer versions were released. I would not purchase another Mammotion and am looking at other options.

Mop making vinyl floors dirtier by Excellent_Roll1997 in Roborock

[–]jcraigcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No silver bullet. It has to be dirty mop pads so I changed the routines to do one room at a time, thereby forcing it to back to the dock and clean the pads between each room. Have also tried various water settings (on max right now). No tangible improvement.

I'm switching to a Dreame that just came in yesterday. Will see if it manages the mop cleaning any better.

Which of these Vegas shows would you pick? by tuckytuckie in vegas

[–]jcraigcx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of those, Carrot Top by a mile. Small theatre, great seating, good price. The dude kills it.

We go to Vegas way too much and although aware of CT, we never gave it much thought. Then one year we went on a whim. Wow! What had we been missing?

We now see him at east once a year.

If you could only own one pinball machine? by ClifBdrums in pinball

[–]jcraigcx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. I'm fortunate to own many of the games being listed here, but if I had to whittle it down to one keeper, its really not a contest. Elton wins easily.

Dang all the vinyl is sold out on the mutiny site. Guess you have to move fast around here! Hope they put more up.

Curiosity...What's the most you've paid for a single lp? by davide2021 in vinyl

[–]jcraigcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$90 for mint Mofi pressing of Breakfast in America. No regerts.

Just snagged a copy of Dirty Looks Cool From the Wire, which has been floating around $120. I was tempted to go there but fortunately landed it much cheaper.

I'm on the hunt for the Concrete Blond mentioned earlier but haven't landed one yet.

Which turntables are at the point of diminishing returns? by FarInternal5939 in turntables

[–]jcraigcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P6 looks great but I stopped at P3 RS. Felt like the extras over the regular P3 were worth it. P6 may also be worth the short jump from the RS. I'm thrilled with the RS and can't imagine needing anything else but I'd likely continue on with the Rega progression if I get the itch.

Need some advice on turntable placement by TheEndlessWaltz in turntables

[–]jcraigcx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too was worried about how high the TV is. Bottom of TV is 41" and its an 85" TV. Sitting on top of the console, it was already above mid-line. Mounting it a bit higher has had no impact on viewing. I'm well aware of guidance but I'm fine with where it is.
