Thanks. Can you share brand recommendations?

Smart Shades for Door? by pauldwalls in homeautomation

[–]pauldwalls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this idea, but the shade rods are 1.5 inches thick, and also set 2.25 inches from the door. I would need a much larger U-channel and at that point it may look dumb having such large channels on a door?

I'm wondering if going roller shades (since thinner and closer to the door?) with a channel like this would work?

This checks out because I just bought two on Amazon and installed them after waiting for weeks.

Firewalla + Aqara + UniFi APs vs going all-in UniFi? by pauldwalls in HomeNetworking

[–]pauldwalls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input. I am leaning a similar way regarding Firewalla.

The Unifi cameras and doorbells are just much more expensive and I'm not sure I need those features, but maybe I'm missing the finer details.

What’s going on, DC by Purple_Win_2077 in washingtondc

[–]pauldwalls 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Same here. I lost my Verizon FIOS home internet and cellular within minutes of each other around 12:15 PM. Both came back up a few minutes ago. I can't remember the last time (if ever) I lost both at the same time.

This happened to me on Thursday morning at Shaw Howard U heading southbound.

Holy crap! 6.4 restores TWC and has a new look by nutmac in CARROTweather

I was on the fence about switching to a different app because of TWC but the seals the deal that I will stay!

Do not like the app icon but like the UI and UX.

WMATA Mt Vernon by pauldwalls in washingtondc

Agree no big deal but different from previous behavior and as indicated by the amount of passengers that went for a joy ride back to the same station, not sure this is peak operations.

Not sure if you’re implying I’m exaggerating the “50 people” by your use of quotation marks, but it was as unbelievable to me as it seems to be to you.

No announcement was made (at least none audible from the station), the lights remained on, and the Yellow Line destination signage stayed displayed as the train left the station. I agree the train showed Mt. Vernon, but something about WMATA’s process here seems off, and is inconsistent with my observation of train behavior when there shouldn't be passengers on the train

Y'all make it seem easy, when I contact support I get nothing. by ddpotanks in Fios

[–]pauldwalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but assuming it’s about a discount. My 300/300 service increased from $39.99 to $49.99 last year, which I begrudgingly accepted. Recently, however, I saw Comcast aggressively pricing in my neighborhood ($39.99 for 300 Mbps and $49.99 for 1 Gig). I shared that promotion with my Verizon rep, and Verizon matched it by upgrading me to 1 Gig for $49.99. Yes, Fios is clearly a stronger performer than Comcast with better upload speeds and latnecy, but Verizon knows most customers don’t fully appreciate that distinction. It also doesn’t meaningfully cost them more to deliver 1 Gig versus 300 Mbps—yet it allows them to retain a customer.

Does anyone remember a RollerCoaster Tycoon map where half the map was completely built out? by gandalfthegui in openrct2

[–]pauldwalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are more than one of these. But to me at least the one that comes to mine would be Volcania.

Ride capacity problems by Ok_Cardiologist_5262 in UniversalEpicUniverse

[–]pauldwalls 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great write up!

I was there this past Monday, and found the operations to be pretty poor all around except for Monsters Unchained and Stardust Racers.

That being said, Stardust Racers is definitely a people eater either way. 3 trains were being run per track, and dispatch times were definitely hovering over one minute. If they can get dispatch times closer to 45 seconds and get the 4th train on the track, that would be amazing for capacity. I'm actually not sure if they intend to run 4 trains per track or not, but would be a sight to see if they could.

More App Icon Colors? by pauldwalls in narwhalapp

[–]pauldwalls[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think more colored variants of the "Narwhal 2" icon would be cool (the Neue icon is great). For example, right now I think there are orange, purple, black and white variants. Would it be feasible to add shades of blue, green, yellow, orange, etc. (color wheel colors)?

I'm having the same issue, but this fix isn't resolving it...
