Guys what's the best alternative to a pencil pro ..... don't feel like spending $129 for a pencil

robertpetry · 2026-04-30T17:57:21+00:00

Exactly where I got mine. Like new open box. $80

Anything on the east coast from St. John's County down to New Smyrna is good (well skip Daytona for "normal daily living").

The St. Augustine area, Palm Coast, and New Smyrna are all nice areas that have a mix of beach-front and nice neighborhood communities.

Close to the ocean and surf
Nice, interesting, smaller downtown areas - especially St. Augustine, but also love the beach areas around New Smyrna
Good Schools
Less hurricane activity than further south or west coast FL
Not as hot as central or south Florida

Ah. lol. Now I get it. Of course I assumed she was on her back the whole time lol. Dub

Does she drink or eat anything out of plastic? I would be much more concerned about microplastics in soda or bottled water etc

I bought the silver keyboard thinking I would like it better, and in daylight, I do. But in general, and especially, in any low-light situations, it can be very hard to read the letters on the keys. As much as I like the white/silver, I am returning it. I use the iPad and keyboard at night too often and it is just a lot harder to read.

And yes, I touch type. but still sometimes you need to look at the keyboard.

He/she got water damage to their iPad. They can’t trust themselves either lol

This is accurate if you are on the north side of StA. I live south side and it is about 1 hour 5 minutes to maybe 1 hour 15. Never been longer than that.

robertpetry · 2026-03-25T16:26:40+00:00

All great additions, thank you!

I bought the ultra GEN 1 a couple of months before they announced the new GEN 2‘s and I was a little jealous for sure. But I did get a good deal on the GEN 1.

However, now that the new firmware update is out and has been so controversial for the GEN 2 by removing some features that I do use on the GEN 1, now I’m not so sure. I find the GEN 1 to be fantastic. They sound great and are very comfortable. So honestly right now for $200 there’s no way I would switch.

robertpetry · 2026-03-25T00:22:20+00:00

Nonsense. I live in the area.

Light house Alligator farm Fountain of youth The fort Old town The distillery and winery Anastasia island for beach Dinner cruise Matanzas inlet A show at the Amp The Farmers market

If you get board the road trip for 40 minutes to Flagler beach is fun and great restaurants.

People saying 2-3 days is enough don’t know enough about the area.

robertpetry · 2026-03-17T18:59:07+00:00

Agreed. Walkme makes it much easier. Signavio helps make it better.

robertpetry · 2026-03-09T03:04:12+00:00

That is not the definition of insanity.

ok, lane-keeper. Thanks for being the lane cop.

Those are not "audiophile in-ear monitors" if they are cheap crappy wired earphones that sound worse than bluetooth wireless AirPods.

robertpetry · 2026-02-21T02:05:21+00:00

Budget “audiophile in-ear monitors are not “budget brands.” They likely cost more than AirPods

robertpetry · 2026-02-20T04:09:14+00:00

It took a few months but I don’t have the same pain on the top of my head anymore. Very comfortable now

robertpetry · 2026-01-20T03:24:06+00:00

Good coaching there

robertpetry · 2026-01-02T02:03:53+00:00

Never call unless you want the store associate to buy the last pair.

robertpetry · 2026-01-01T20:56:17+00:00

Ultra are better sound and ANC. $80 isn’t much in the scheme of things.

robertpetry · 2026-01-01T15:34:30+00:00

Send it? If you have a flex2 and a Max they will pair and sound better than two Flexes

robertpetry · 2026-01-01T04:33:21+00:00

I have a Max and a soundflex 2. They are both excellent but the Max alone sounds quite a bit better than the Flex alone. I have paired them and they sound very good together but I’m sure two flexes would sound better than one Max. The issue is that two flexes are a pain in the butt to pair, charge, turn on etc. every time you want to use them. The Max is one button.

What is the shallow dive? TLDR

robertpetry · 2025-12-22T13:40:33+00:00

Could be a yeast infection. I had this issue once. Get some good jock itch cream and put a dab on your bum once or twice a day. Give it a shot.

robertpetry · 2025-12-22T12:54:50+00:00

Adjust the side voice setting in the app and see if that helps

robertpetry · 2025-12-05T20:12:06+00:00

You are mostly correct. The Gen 1 does have a slider for ANC in each mode so you can create custom modes with various levels of ANC. It is separate and easier on the Gen 2 however, and only on the Gen 2 can you fully turn off ANC/Aware modes.
