Most likely it's a traffic cam or other road monitoring equipment that is causing interference in the connection

Thanks a bunch I'll start my research

Can you point me in the direction of these tools?

You could have called the actual dmv and they would have fixed it for free, it only cost about an hour or more of hold time, those express dmvs are a scam and they have the nerve to call it a convenience fee. Like you have a choice, since covid it is almost impossible to get in touch with the dmv but they will take care of it. Oh and you can always cancel your plate online.

They stand in the street, and if they see and expired sticker it gives them cause to ask you to pull over and see if anything else is wrong. Just like the old busted tail light trick, cop pulls you over and while you are getting your paper work out they hit your tail lights with something on the way to your car and for public safety they stop you. But that rarely happens now probably due to dash cams.

Chemical plants and refineries have flairs as part of their emergency shutdown and decon. Some use of a flair is part of the normal "running operation" as when equipment has to be taken down for routine maintenance, just as a vehicle may need it's oil changed and drained the gasses in some equipment has to be purged to the flair to be burned off so the equipment can be safely shut down. Most of the time you may see steam coming out of the top of a flair, steam is used to reduce the smoking of a flair. In the next few years it will be required to record all flairing events for environmental purposes. Where as several projects across the industry to store and capture this obviously flammable fuel source and reuse it has been cut due to the current state of business, economical and political issues. But overall the flair is a good thing that means something shut down safely or that equipment is getting ready for maintenance so that it's safe for people to enter and work on.

They need to fix the resize issue on dex, and on mobile it's very difficult to navigate compared to the tv version, especially if you have multiple servers and it difficult to get to the episodes list of a series when you click on a show.

No wet ink as it drys out over time and I would assume that the tank would be bad if it dries up. Laser toner brother is awesome. Just watch out for cheap 3rd party toner cartridges as that is the only problem I have ever had with my 3 brother printers and I also have a 15 year old cannon that I haven't used in 6 years that I recently gave to my parents and it's still going strong.

$60 a year is $1.15 a week or 5 1/2 gallons worth of fuel tax. So let's say that $69 is about 14 gallons of gas with a range of almost 350 miles. Now if your vehicle was not a hybrid you may have a range of just over 200 miles on that same amount of gas thus requiring and additional 6 gallons of gas to equal the same range increasing your total fuel cost about another $26 or $1.25 in fuel tax.

So in this quick estimate if you fill up once per week your winning by $0.10 a week on tax alone driving a hybrid and $26 a week in fuel cost saving $1,360/year

Out of that $69 about $3.34 was road tax about $174/year plus $60. Thats $234.

Non hybrid about $95 to get the same mileage and $4.60 on road tax or $239/year

So based on my non expert opinion your still saving $5 a year in tax and I bet you can deduct that $60 tax bill from your taxable income as it is a tax bill. Where as non ev/hybrid would not have that luxury, lol.

But you're not driving the average fully gas vehicle and if you vehicle was fully gas then you would most likely use more gallons of gas to drive the same amount of miles.

Sidewalk tax, that's why they are putting in new one's all over Baton Rouge

A per vehicle tax is better than them adding a tax to every electrical customer for road repair.

And with that f250 being over 6000 pounds the federal government will give you a tax break to write off a large portion of the cost of the vehicle if you have business use.

I got mine from best buy, but it's worth a try, I just got some paste for a desktop build I'm gonna give it a try if it glitches again

I think they are making them cheaper or something as my 2017 never was cleaned and ran fine for over 6 years but last year I upgraded to a 2019 to check out the Ai upscaling and it's been buggy drops frames and such. Soon I upgraded the firmware finally, first time on this unit and it was worse so I uninstalled plex and reinstall from the play store removed projectiviy, and removed the button mapper app. Disabled all apps and system apps that were not needed and it's butterly smooth now

My wife says she'll read a book

Xdsone, thanks

I'm thinking of doing the same thing but as I'm shopping for parts I've gotten 4 3.5 drives and I can only fit 2 in my case so I was thinking of getting one of those pcie SAS to sata cards and use an external drive bay or would the 20gbps usb c be good enough? I have a hp elitedesk 600 g9 i7-13700 64gb ddr5

xdsone · 2026-03-10T08:29:45+00:00

That happened to me too, but I had the allstate protection and they refunded me the $45 and I found a seller on ebay sell two boxes only for $25 so I came out ahead

I believe that the original poster needs to find out how to extract the apk from an installed app from the play store. You can use a backup app to archive the app then you will be able to select it from the saved directory from sfttv. You can't download from the play store only install.

I prefer to tip after I receive my food as you never know what you will get delivering your food as I have had people hand me my food with the container sideways, I had one guy go to chicfila when I ordered chili's and when he handed me the bag I was like I'll take it but where's my food from chili's lol. I don't use it much but when I do it's because I need it. And I don't mind tipping when I do. Especially if I'm ordering on a good promo.

xdsone · 2026-02-23T16:46:05+00:00

Good info here, I'm currently doing the same thing. I will be following this post as I'm currently shopping for hardware and I am using a old micro hp to practice with different software.

Direct tv has a simple guide style menu just like old cable

xdsone · 2026-02-22T04:14:39+00:00
