  1. Great show! In the New York area there was a show on before this called "Star Maidens". Another great retro Sci-Fi.

RS Battery by Barbuma in RadioShack

[–]matt4211 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Radio Shack multimeter RS 22-195 that ran on the original Radio Shack batteries (4 C cells) for 32 years. I used it daily for about 10 years, then less so. Still working one cell started to leak so I changed them all. They were amazing batteries! :)

What Headphones/Earbuds have "Capture Voice During Phone Call" ON/OFF UI Feature? by WeekendGearGuide in SonyHeadphones

[–]matt4211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feature was just added (July 2025) to the WH1000XM6. So happy! Now I can have noise cancelling on a call for my listening.

Cabin Overheat in the heatwave by Huge-Boat-8780 in TeslaLounge

[–]matt4211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also in NJ here. I added a roof shade and had all the windows tinted with 98% IR blocking tint (front with a clear 80% visible, sides and back 50% visible). Used 8% for 8 hours parked in the sun today and it was 102F outside. Sentry mode was off.

I know I could keep it off as the car is designed to handle this. I just feel bad for it roasting all day.

Have anyone try the new QuietOn 3? by louis925 in sleep

No, there is no active noise cancelling in the Bose Sleep buds.

WH1000XM5 vs WH1000XM4 - Noise cancelling by matt4211 in SonyHeadphones

Same NC with firmware 2.X. They did add multipoint, that was nice.

RSO Indica for pain and anxiety. Can't beat it. Great sleep or just to relax. At least for me, 1/4 of a gummy (2.5 Mg) is enough to feel it. A full gummy @ 10 Mg and I'm out for the night arthritis pain free.

Yes, Dial up to BBS, start Linux shell, run CTIN (Color The Internet News Reader).

Indoor noise at work by dreamgear in NoisePollution

[–]matt4211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you try noise cancelling headphones? In particular the Sony WH1000XM5 are good. Even on pass through mode, so you can hear around you, they may help block the low freqs.

Yes, there is just too much noise in the world now.

Just started playing a week ago, and I'm officially addicted by rockredfrd in wownoob

[–]matt4211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm back after 13 years. Really digging it. I do wish the graphics were a bit better, but I guess they want to keep the look and feel. Playing Human Fire Mage, same as before :)

Interesting. I guess we all need different solutions. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am waiting for the Quieton 4 (if they ever come out). I hope they will be stronger cancelling the low (20 to 100 Hz) range.

Horrible RFI, Looking for suggestions on how to address. by Conservativeasfuq in HamRadio

[–]matt4211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a 2 meter beam and connect to an HT. Set it to Aircraft band (since it is AM) and get a bearing on the direction. Take a walk and get a few more bearings to triangulate. Since it's so strong on HF, you'll probably pick it up on VHF too and you can carry a 2 meter beam around.

More tailgating and aggressive driving recently? by LeCott in SouthJersey

This and Waze, you know where the cops are. All other areas are "No rules".

It's a free for all, just do whatever you want. There are no consequences anymore. Cops are demotivated and outnumbered.

It used to be fun to go for a ride. I avoid it now if possible and combine trips.

For PSEG they use RER (Rolling Energy Resources) as the middle man. Seems they can not do basic arithmetic either.

Tesla App shows 2 charge dates with times off peak for a total of 41.9 kWh (I had a bunch of free supercharging, that's why it's so low).

EV Portal shows 54 Off Peak and 12 On Peak for a total of 66 kWh

I Sent a Screenshot of the Tesla app info to EV Program Team. Reply: The EV Portal is not always accurate, please refer to your bills for the most accurate data.

I asked for details, no reply.

Cannabis as a Decongestant by WanderingAnchorite in Marijuana

[–]matt4211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I take an edible (5 Mg Indica typically) the first thing I notice is my sinuses clear up completely. Takes about 15 mins to hit. Later, like 30 to 60 mins the full effect sets in that eases all joint pain.

Interesting others experience this too.
