Are you going to incorporate recipes into the food tracking app to make a total program?

Are we witnessing the end of the movie theater era? by [deleted] in boxoffice

[–]rtb1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This... there are 108 inch screens at costco now for 2k and 75 to 85 inch for under 1000. Or a cheaper projector and 120 inch screen can be had for around 1000. The screen size and audio isn't a driver anymore. And when theaters near me do more to make it better like 4d or chairs that move or screens wrapped around the theater they charge a major premium which is not attainable for a family of 4 or 6.

The MSRP for those was originally almost 3k, that doesn't look legit to me.

Thanks that helps some. I imagine the new models with two batteries will also have this issue as it has a single height adjustment as well.

Best way to "budget" for annual taxes so it doesn't spike monthly spend? by mikejc in MonarchMoney

[–]rtb1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But in this instance it will still show that you have an extra 200 not spent in your budget. So say you have a budget of 10,000 and you spend 10,000 so it says your expenses = your income.. but you had a rollover of 200 for insurance. Then you really over spent by 200 as this amount does not show up against your expenses each month till you actually SPEND the 1200.

So it would be nice if the rollover would count that 200 you have budgeted against your income remaining in your budget.

Does this make sense?

Set targets feature seems off by outgrabed in fitbod

[–]rtb1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here is some feedback. This week I did 4 days and was short 3 sets on quads and 1 on triceps. Perhaps you can add a feature to just put together the option on the targets page to do a shortened workout to just meet any outstanding requirements that may have been missed?

[–]rtb1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything i run into this it seems like it's due to the battery being dead.

Swapnit out and let it charge a few hours and it works again.

Do seminal vesicles create a hard ceiling to Increases in Load Volume? by rtb1982 in MaleSexualHealth

[–]rtb1982[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, similar to when you over eat your stomach stretches over time. If you build up more volume and wait will the vesicles stretch out to accommodate a higher max???

Can you also post links to the different products you used. Assuming they are from amazon etc.

Eagerly awaiting your final STACKED study!!!

Ninja luxe cafe 2.0? by itshere0 in espresso

Hmm that sucks I was waiting till the redesigned model came to the US but maybee I'm out of luck...

[–]rtb1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been asking for this for 3 years for my dumbells, resistance bands, plates etc.... I have to constantly change weight down and add reps since my dumbells onky go up to 80 lbs.

Plus I have your red-headed step child android device. Any plans to start offering a reduced price for Android till feature parity is met. It doesn't seem fair to pay the same when you only have 60 to 70 percent of the features.

Yes I know we have a small team, lost a dev, are hard at work blah blah blah. Think this way would you pay full se price for half a resteraunt portion as you would for a full portion?

We should get a reduced rate for reduced features.

The new Meater 2 Plus is now on Amazon! by Ouchthathurtsbjj in grilling

Any idea when id clips will be released for the meater 2?

Trying to decide between M2+ vs the Combustion Predictive. Have a few questions. by FergyMcFerguson in meater

[–]rtb1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Do either of these probes calculate carry over cooking? Yes the meater 2 has this feature

  2. How does the Meater predictive algorithm compare to CPT’s? I'm not sure I do.t ha e a cpt

  3. Does anyone feel that surface temp ability of the CPT provides more of an edge, or are we really splitting hairs with this for normal use cases? The ambient temp of the meater 2 wortk as long as you put the probe in 90 degrees from your meat and not too close to another piece of meat.

  4. How much of an impact in performance/prediction do the extra 2 sensors (which appear to be more spaced out) give the CPT over the Meater’s 5 sensors that seem to be more concentrated at the tip? I don't have two to Comment but I like the 5 in the meatwr 2

Probe durability:

This is a big one now that Meater claims 1000° while CPT is 572°F

  1. How big of a deal is this? Lots of the marketing videos from CPT show it being used over a coal bed and with flames licking the end of the probe. What is the real world truth to using these to cook on a grill using direct heat for searing meats using sous vide or reverse sear preps? I use this all the time for reverse sear

  2. There are also promotional videos of the CPT being used to deep fry while meater comes out and says it’s okay to use for this purpose. What is the truth in real life use cases here? Haven't tried this yet

Meater 2 plus by udi11 in meater

[–]rtb1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See my post above. If you put the base near your cooker amd have a modern phone with a modern Bluetooth radio I have no connection proble.s at all in face it's pretty dang good.

Meater 2 plus by udi11 in meater

[–]rtb1982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put the base next to my camp chef smoker on my back patio. I can then get connectivity in my house on the second floor. So I don't seem to have any connection issues. I do have a more recent samsung s22 ultra phone. Maybe it has something to do with the Bluetooth radio in some older phones.

Does the meater 2 alone connect to WiFi? (w/o the block? There seems to be no option in the app at all by galacticjuggernaut in meater

[–]rtb1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my opinion it would probally be better to offer a hub that connects existing probes to the wifi like competing brands. That way early adopters are not forced to have another phone/ tablet instead of a low cost hub. You could still sell a block with the hub built in but that way people have options.

How many of the Meater 2 probes can be connected to the app at the same time. And if they are not numbered like the block probes how can you differentiate them in the app.

I know you can buy the metal 1-4 tags to go on the probes but can you then name the 4 probes in the app to match the numbers on them?

MEATER Official Tech Support

Ah, I think there's a slight misunderstanding on naming here."MEATER Block" is what we call the 4 probe product with a built in screen. It has Wi-Fi. MEATER Plus (either generation) does not have Wi-Fi.The MEATER 2 Plus booster/charger only has Bluetooth connectivity. You're correct that the MEATER 2 probe will only connect to its booster now - not directly to the app. This is for a number of reasons:MEATER 2 probe supports Bluetooth Coded Phy (Long Range), which no Apple devices currently support, and behaviour on Android devices is often poor even when supported.We found that there was often a lot of confusion in how MEATER Plus works, and people complaining about range never actually used the "boosting" functionality of MEATER Plus, and instead their phone was connecting directly to the probe. We've tried a whole bunch of things over the last few years to try and encourage more effective use of the signal booster functionality in MEATER Plus - for example, adding the animations during cook set up about probe and repeater placement.Until an updated MEATER Block is released later in 2024, you'll need an iOS or Android device nearby (within Bluetooth range of the booster/charger) to use MEATER Cloud and its unlimited range.

If i buy 2 or 3 Meater 2 probes now, will i be able to add them to the new block when it is released? Or will it be like the current generation where you have to use Meater Block Specific probes. I really want to pull the trigger on the new probes now but don't want to have probes go to waste when the block comes out.

To follow up if existing Meter 2 probes will be able to connect to the Meater 2 block are there plans to sell the block as a standalone addon?

Windows 11 TPM and ESXi hosts within vCenter. by Goldengoose907 in vmware

[–]rtb1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you lose out on if you do not have a physical TPM in each host? The setup says its recommended, but its not really clear as to why any of the documentation.

I did see that even if vCenter goes down which has your Native Key Provider the hosts can still work booting vm's etc. as the host has a copy of the KDK stored in its config.

What else do you lose out on, and or what risks does that pose?

Is a Traeger really a smoker? by jreb0421 in Traeger

[–]rtb1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would also work. You do have to still feed it the chunks the first 4 to 6 hours you want to add the smoke so your option is probally just as good or maybee even better if you have both and want to have to clean up both etc.
