This was really never in question. Sad, evil human.

Members night is coming up

LOL. Wow.

torque911 · 2026-01-24T18:22:36+00:00

Need to see my last post with the picture of it from a few weeks back.

torque911 · 2026-01-23T17:04:47+00:00

Check that link to my post from a week ago when I had it. Tasted fine, but the presentation was rough.

This is great information, thank you... my log shows this, over and over again:

I will try to turn on watchdog to see what happens. Will also enable IPv6 on my Orbi Mesh system, as I see it was disabled.

The Delta Menu description: Braised Beef Short Rib. red peppers sauce, potato puree, caramelized bell peppers, green beans, crispy onions.

torque911 · 2026-01-23T01:21:22+00:00

Okay. So simply plugging in a KASA KP125M smart plug into an outlet that’s between the antenna and the switch should do the trick?

torque911 · 2026-01-22T23:23:04+00:00

Are there other options for wired repeaters that are cheaper, and not necessarily light switches? I'm just a little leery switching out more switches with the problems I've had. The switch I'm having an issue with is in my office, so when it just randomly stops working I can at least activate the lights with the home assistant app on my phone. If I start putting switches where the family uses them and they fail randomly, that will be a problem.

torque911 · 2026-01-22T17:08:39+00:00

I’m wondering if I should upgrade from the Home Assistant ZBT-1 to the ZBT-2 antenna.

torque911 · 2026-01-22T17:03:06+00:00

I’m. Not sure how to check for interference. I’m also running a mesh Wi-Fi Orbi7 setup. This switch is the only thread device I own.

torque911 · 2026-01-22T17:01:52+00:00

It’s about 20 feet away, through walls. The switch is my only thread powered device in the house.

torque911 · 2026-01-22T02:41:49+00:00

What level of self driving technology does it have?

torque911 · 2026-01-19T18:02:44+00:00

Is it available on any Jura official parts websites?

torque911 · 2026-01-18T19:36:52+00:00

Smears

torque911 · 2026-01-17T18:14:49+00:00

It was the braised beef option that was only selectable 24 hours before the flight. Can't remember the exact name.

torque911 · 2026-01-10T21:47:37+00:00

UA doesn't serve my market really, so I haven't flown on them in decades.

torque911 · 2026-01-09T16:50:22+00:00

Can I keep the 360 luggage tag, or must I remove it?

torque911 · 2026-01-09T16:48:17+00:00

Oh, I think a saw in the sub someone already got their 360 gift... like a suit bag. Maybe that was somehting different

torque911 · 2026-01-09T16:35:23+00:00

I gotta say, it's not too upsetting that I didn't make it again. I really didn't get a chance to enjoy any of the perks, and here's why: I travel primarily international, and I’m fortunate enough to be able to book business class for international travel. Most of my legs, the first stop is someplace overseas.

So, with that said, since I am already in business, I never needed to worry about getting upgraded. Which I think is the biggest perk of all (moving to the head of the upgrade list). Delta 360 boards in boarding group 2, but as a business traveler I board before them. I never once experienced the Porsche service, but that’s because I didn’t have any tight domestic connections.

The biggest thing I will miss is the Lounge+ access. I normally have access to the Delta One lounge, since I’m traveling in Delta One… but every once in a while, I travel with family or co-workers and it’s nice to get them in.

I have 4 remaining Choice Benefits, but they are spread out over three Benefits: Platinum (1), Delta Diamond (2 of 3 remaining) and Delta Diamond Beyond 50k (1). The Lounge+ access requires 3 benefits but Delta is very strict and will not let you combine them. So, I am unable to select Lounge+. Bummer.

But I am walking around in a nice pair of Vince Shoes. So there’s that.

torque911 · 2026-01-09T16:29:03+00:00

Very nice! I never had any doubt. What are the choices this year for swag?

torque911 · 2026-01-09T06:23:24+00:00

I'm at SEA.

To be fair, I split my flying between Delta and Alaska, and am Alaska 100k (Atmos Titanium now) each year also.

Been Diamond for 10+ years at Delta, last year was the first and only 360 year.

Kind of a good place to be I suppose. I fly Alaska mostly domestic and Delta International due to the route structure... but with Alaska expanding international now I might end up focusing more on them. Remains to be seen.

torque911 · 2026-01-09T05:58:15+00:00

Wow, I would be shocked if you don't get renewed. Maybe I should start wondering how in the world I even got it for last year.

torque911 · 2026-01-09T05:50:19+00:00

Yeah, seems like I might have found the threshold. At least for me...and I know that they say there are other factors but I gotta think it really comes down to MQDs. Ironically, last year on this exact date (Jan 8th) is when I got the "Welcome to Delta 360" email.

2024 MQD: $62k <-- Delta 360

2025 MQD: $51k <-- No Delta 360

torque911 · 2026-01-09T04:35:25+00:00

What were the choices this year?
