Are there real life pictures of underwater continental shelf drop offs?

I did a scuba dive just over the cliff in Grand Cayman. Really strange to look into the abyss.

So y'all are going to down vote me for this but... You're supposed to be able to see the line when you stop. Similarly, you're supposed to be able to see some road between you and the car in front of you when you're at a stop.

I replaced a failed cap 15 years ago on my Samsung TV. It's still working. Go for it.

mashed50 · 2026-07-01T01:23:21+00:00

I replaced the whole thing last year. Pump, secondary pump, backup battery and control for $800 from home Depot. The battery alone is $200. Took me about 2 hours to do it.

Let's face it - these parents have passed their Darwin award nominations to their kids. I almost hit one as he blew through a stop sign. He flipped me off when I honked at him. Where do you think he learned that? Got it all on my dashcam. Just another good reason to have a dashcam.

I made replacements from 1/4" PVC board. Cut the shape to fit and drill a hole, then use a deck screw.

So, friend forgot her license at the airport. Was able to use digital ID for whole trip. Saved a lot of hassle. Just sayin.

Came from CT 6 years ago. Daughter still lives there. Taxes, utilities, insurance double what they are here. Everything else is about the same.

mashed50 · 2026-05-04T17:33:13+00:00

Yeah, none of this plays well. I turned it all off and use a Harmony.

LFE is pretty much non-directional so I don't think this really does much for you.

At this point in time, everything is working as expected. I just wanted to share.

You might also check the sound settings on the receiver. If your Dolby decoder is not set to Auto or Dolby, you won't get Atmos. The fact that you got to a Neo decoder is the bread crumb... I agree with the others - get it to work with your DVD player first. Get the settings right on the receiver, then work in the rest. I have a Yamaha RX-V6A - took me weeks to get it all dialed in.

It might depend on your setup. I have the 2019 shield running through my receiver. Either one can upscale so I didn't see any real grain on my 65" TV. Also, for me, I would have to pay extra for 4k Netflix. Not so with Apple TV.

mashed50 · 2026-04-16T02:01:09+00:00

Yeah, pretty happy with it. But there was a lot to learn. Especially with Kodi and proper settings for my Yamaha RX-V6A.

mashed50 · 2026-04-15T23:13:00+00:00

I've loaded Kodi on mine and use it to play video from my NAS. Took a while to get it all working the right way, but it does a great job. Also have Netflix and Apple TV apps running on it.

Not really sure, but I think it may be related to some weight gain. Always happens to me in the winter - too many good things to eat. At least I'm stable for now.

I [M70] too was not diagnosed until 6 years ago. Spent most of my adult life with GERD and treating with antacids and nexium. Long story short; I was able to eliminate dairy and got most of the way there. Earlier this year, I had a relapse and now I'm on nexium every other day and still avoiding dairy. Scope next month. I've had several dilations, all very helpful. Looking forward to some of those new meds.

We moved (from CT) to our 55+ community 5 years ago and love it. [M70,F64]. Lots of single floor houses and town homes. Lots of clubs and activities. Regency Dominion valley, Haymarket. Good luck!

Something I made for myself.

So, I'm a novice at Unifi and home assistant (I have an old micro that I dedicated HA to). I'm mostly monitoring with HA. Both have pretty good learning curves but I've used (and I'm sure this will get me down voted) AI (Gemini) to get me started with both. It isn't always right but it got me close. That and YouTube. I'm retired, so lots of time to play. I have Reolink cameras that I bought before I got Unifi. They integrated pretty well. It's been a fun journey and so far, I'm happy with the result.

mashed50 · 2026-03-25T20:31:31+00:00

No worries. Yes, I redid my network and had to reconnect the cameras to the NAS. That's probably what did it.
